let's talk about hotdog

[krickets]

Let me pose a question to the BSG inclined on my flist. (And there are a lot of you.)


Okay. So! Hotdog.

I recall Gaeta (or someone in CIC after the takeover) mentioning that Hot Dog (and someone else who I can't remember) were flying CAP and we heard the orders regarding Roslin & Baltar's raptor.

Now, is Hotdog in on the mutiny?

Cause man, they've just turned all of their supporting characters (practically) into mutineers if he is too.

I'd like to believe that because Gaeta is the only link to communication at this point, that maybe the pilots flying CAP are unaware of what's happening on the ship and are just being fed whatever information Gaeta's allowed them to get?

Otherwise, why would they have to ask who was on CAP? They'd know, cause it'd be one of "them," right?

*shrugs*

I haven't re-watched the episode so I can't remember exactly how that scene played out and if we actually heard them giving orders to the pilots or just heard Gaeta giving the info to someone in CIC to relay those orders. Because why would they destroy one of their own raptors with no reason? (They wouldn't, would they? Aha! I've discovered a flaw in the master plan!)

I mean, they already got Racetrack! They can't have Hotdog too! Darnit!

Why would he bother apologizing to Galen last week about Cally if he's a cylon-hating mutineer? Amiright?

I don't think Hotdog is part of the mutiny. He's all about the kid right now and Chiefy is teaching him how to be a daddy. Yes, when Gaeta needed someone to shoot the raptor he chose Narcho.

Even though Hotdog may not be involved, a lot of critical pilots are. They get executed or jailed, who can be pilots for the fleet that anyone can trust? Seriously, Narcho is the CAG. Hotdog maybe be a safe bet, but I really don't know about anyone else.
