Any good points they claim to be acting on are eloquently expressed by Lee, but not really touched on my by the people in the mutiny itself, and Lee is on the other side of the issue. Good point about Lee. He needs to step to the forefront. He's on the other side but actually agrees on some levels with Gaeta. (Hell, he's mutinied once, he knows the drill.) Yet Lee tried an alliance with the Cylons. What an interesting place Lee Adama is in.
Because all of the valid points they have for doing what they're doing don't actually logically lead to this kind of mutiny. Perhaps they don't lead to Adama's attitude of just accepting the alliance wholesale on cylon terms either, but it doesn't lead to this. Middle ground. These people need to get creative. There is something between total alliance and total separation. I don't know what that is and if these people are willing to figure it out anymore. I think space family is exhausted and totally short on patience at this point and cousin Gaeta just lit up the family reunion. It is officially over.
And at that point it doesn't matter if you have a good point lost in there somewhere, it matters what you're doing. Wow, you do make sense! I have had this conversation in a couple of journals and you put it best. I think a lot of people's good points have gotten lost. Racetrack, as you said above. Seelix wanted so much to be a pilot. For this?
I'll admit that Gaeta is wrong in his actions. Maybe his point, a good point, got lost when Laird went down. They all have to refind their points, together and NOW, or they are all just as lost as he is. I don't know if they can find it, Becka. I don't know.
Being a razor means turning off being a human being for as long as you need to You think Kara has, but Gaeta hasn't? Interesting. He did fire on that raptor. And Zarek is definitely a razor. Some of the mutineers are too. Skulls, but not Racetrack. Gage, but not Neward. And I disagree, Cain turned her humanity off. I think she did big time to let her men gang-rape her former lover. They felt beyond rage and revenge to me. Or even shooting her X.O. Gaeta is not quite there yet, but sadly he is heading there.
the stability of the previous government will look mighty appealing and I imagine a lot of, "I was always on Adama's side really!" squealing to start. The fickleness of the people. That makes me bloodthirsty. Bah! That would be very dramatically unsatisfying. I don't want it all to mean nothing, you know. I don't want Gaeta's life to mean nothing. He had never gotten a single thank-you for anything he's done or an apology for what was done to him. And yet, intentionally or unintentionally, his actions could propel the fleet into something entirely new. It simply can't be the way it was before or all of this is all for nothing.
