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?

(Hi, coming in from galactica_news...)

It was funny, I'd just been saying to my sister that this was a pretty much feel-good episode for me while other people found it depressing because I'm just not that fond of any of the minor characters who have just shown their true colors and I was like "If HOTDOG was also in on it, THEN I'd be really fucking sad." And then when I rewatched the ep I caught those lines about him being on CAP and was worried about what that could mean.

But I'm glad to see the reasons brought up in the comments here that he probably isn't, and now I'm beginning to think that his brief appearance in the scene with Starbuck was a little pointless unless it's setting things up for him to kick some mutineer ass in the next episode.

Me too. I can't wait for that. I have high hopes for our Hotdog. ;)
