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 think (read: hope) that Hot Dog just happened to be on CAP at that point. Remember the mutiny happened pretty quickly and since we see him go off pretty early on, I think he was NOT in on it. Gaeta also decided pretty quick between Narcho (who CLEARLY was in on it) and Hot Dog. If the next episode starts where this ends, Narcho would be speeding after the Raptor with Baltar & Roslin. My guess is that Hot Dog goes "WTF are you doing?" and eventually kills Narcho (who obvs will fail at shooting down the raptor since we know ROSLIN IS COMING FOR ALL OF THEEEEMMMMMMMMMM).

Yeah I think your theory is so plausible. How much do I want Hot Dog to save the day (well... a few minutes of the day... it's a pretty big day) by shooting Narcho down and saving Laura and Baltar? SO MUCH!

I am crossing my fingers for this scenario.
