BSG

[hafital]

Battlestar Galactica = OUCH. I was not very happy when at the end of last season we saw Lt. Gaeta working for Baltar - I bought it as something the character would do, essentially - at least they were working towards that kind of characterization of him. Previous to that (and even after that, truth be told) I held a lot of fondness for Gaeta - he's like some poor, under-appreciated, stickler of a guy, not really attractive and kind of just there, but always pulling through some amazing stuff for the crew. I kind of adored him, in a 'oh! little Gaeta!' kind of way - he was my (not so) secret buddy. So, I was not happy with him working for Baltar - because CLEARLY Baltar would never have made a good president, and even if Gaeta had believed in him at once point, walking in on the man with (random! hello!) whorish women drapped all over him is maybe, you know, where you quit, but Gaeta - he's not a quitter.

Anyway - I swear I nearly lost my shit when they were going to kill him. I didn't really believe they would - dramatically speaking it was obvious he wouldn't be killed (although, with BSG, you never know!) - but still, that really didn't matter. I swore undying love to Anders when he walked out on the Circle (and even more so when he let Starbuck go). I had tears - REAL TEARS, PEOPLE - when the Chief sat with Gaeta at the end of show. a) just seeing him by himself was almost more than I could handle and then b) the Chief, I love him. God. I think... I think I'm maybe not cut out for television right now. I'm way too tired, or emotional, PMSing, or something. Good grief. And all this for Gaeta? I, well, whatever.

I need an Anders icon. ETA: Anders icon obtained!
