Lt. Gaeta: Cylon or not a Cylon

Lt. Gaeta - tactical officer on the Battlestar Galactica.  Righthand man to Baltar on New Caprica.

Pros:

  • He was part of the resistance movement.  We know that 3 of the 4 that have been revealed were part of the resistance movement on New Caprica.  Tigh, Anders & Tryol.  Why the hidden cylons were part of the resistance, I have no idea, but it appears to be a common thread.
  • You wouldn’t expect him.  In fact, you probably haven’t even thought about him.
  • Who better to have as a plant on your side than the tactical officer in the enemy fleet?
  • He rerouted firewalls pretty fast when the cylons were trying to hack into the Galactica.  Maybe he let them in????

Cons:

  • Would anyone care about Gaeta being a cylon?
  • He is missing from the goofy image SciFi has on their website.

Overall:

Gaeta would be an excellent choice for a cylon.  He would be in a major position to cause complete chaos onboard the Galactica.  He’s under the radar and a loner.

Chances of being a Cylon: 34%
