Gaeta's Very First Battlestar Galactica Scene Makes His Season 4 Ending Much More Tragic

Felix Gaeta, Adama’s Tactical Officer on Galactica, is one of the most complex and well-written characters in Battlestar Galactica. Throughout one of the best sci-fi series of all time, viewers witness Gaeta going from a young, bright, loyal officer to the instigator of a coup. His very first appearance, first in the miniseries and then in the season 1 pilot, establishes key traits that unravel with later events. His character arc is especially tragic when watching Battlestar Galactica in order.
