You know what makes me saddest about Gaeta. It's not merely that he likely won't be remembered as he wishes, but that Adama will always hate him. All of Adama's children who have betrayed him have had the opportunity for redemption, but Gaeta's dead. Gone.

Not that I'm saying everyone needs redemption from Daddy. Or rather, they have the opportunity to reunite with him because he is forced to see their reasoning for what they did. If he could forgive the Sharons, he could have forgiven Gaeta in time.
