"I'm NOT Gonna Beg!" | Battlestar Galactica

[@jonsouth1545]

The way Gaeta was treated was disgraceful none of them ever apologised or faced any backlash for what they did. It's no wonder Gaeta eventually broke and turned against them.

[@Spacegoat92]

Yeah i know, i would have at least bought him a drink or something..

[@darkhope97]

well seeing how collaborations have been dealt in diferent moments in history I would say he got of lucky

[@Johann_Gambolputty_of_Ulm]

I don't think this was the driver. Two of his prosecutors turned out to be Cylons, while on the other hand Connor was happy to be on the same side of the barricade (so would Barolay i guess, if she wouldn't get smacked by a Six first). The alliance with Cylon and his "adventure" with an Eight was the breaking point for him.

[@jackstecker5796]

I mean, if I was accused of being an enemy collaborater, and I had been feeding friendlies critical, valuable, and timely intel the whole time, I think I'd probably lead with that.

[@andrewc662]

“Do not be eager to deal out death and judgment. For even the wise cannot see all ends” - Gandalf the Grey This was a powerful quote that always stuck with me and I don’t think I have ever seen it exemplified better than in this side. Even leaving besides the portion of Gaeta’s actual innocence in the charge of treason, Starbuck and Tigh in this scene are perhaps the best example I know of how short a jump it is between righteous anger and vengeance and how easily one may slip into that trap without realizing it.

[@zubinix]

Yeah while your government is dealing out death and judgement in Gaza.

[@WickedPrince3D]

Yeah, I've spent a lot of time thinking hard about all the times I made judgements on people because of some uncontrollable emotion rather than rational decision. And even in the latter case - the number of times I'd been wrong because I didn't have all the facts. Nobody is omniscient.

[@MauricXe]

I love his resolve. He's moments from death but Gaeta will not compromise his honor. I'm not gonna beg....love it.

[@arealperson641]

God I hope none of the executioners turns out to be a cylon

[@vincewilson1]

They did! The Colonel is a Cylon from the original planet Earth.

[@Mobius_118]

I enjoy that any time the morality of the scene is in question, they play the final strings of the Olympic Carrier OST.

[@warrenreid6109]

Gaeta is the most tragic character on the show.

nah fam that title goes to tyrol

Gaeta has the most fascinating char development in all of battlestar galactica.

[@scotcarr3390]

I know this channel used this clip before, but this clip, Hell, the whole episode, is in my top 5 BSG most intense bits. I get new moments every time I rewatch it. I could go on for days, but the main takeaway I get is how much insight into Gaeta's growing disillusionment building towards the whole situation of the fleet & cylons. It starts here. It helps that between finding all but the conclusion of the web series "Face Of The Enemy". I never quite got what brought him to turn so hard. The web series gave me what pushed him into mutiny. "Collaborators" gave me the end. This gave me the catalyst.

[@Whykickamoocow]

My mum has never been a fan of sci fi but she loved watching this on dvd with me. ❤ love you mum

[@WickedPrince3D]

So one of the entertaining things about this scene is that several of them are amongst the "Final Five" Cylons, trying a human for crimes against humanity. Ironic.

[@underarmbowlingincidentof1981]

after going through that and seeing no justice done for those who were already vented out no wonder he did what he did later on... Especially after one of the people accusing him of being a traitor to the cylons turned out to be a LITERAL cylon!!! He was nearly executed for being accused of aiding them but once a real actual cylon was found in their midst they were simply left in their positions. ... poor Gaeta man...

[@WickedPrince3D]

Two of them were Cylons: Galen and Saul. Somebody said there was another there, but if so it wasn't one of the final five. And Starbuck might not have even been real, just some entity pretending to be her so well that it had forgotten the truth.

[@darkhope97]

Gotta love chief tyrol

[@thedoctor4327]

Gods in this moment I wanted to lock all these people except Chief in the airlock and space em

[@piotrd.4850]

Binge watching series with all these crybabies who have flexible logic tendt to do that.

[@tonoornottono]

@@piotrd.4850that’s sort of the idea though, right? nearly all of their problems are not just a matter of survival, but a matter of existence on the scale of our entire species. humans already backwards-rationalize and do illogical stuff in real life, in our normal lives where many things are assured. very few people act on any kind of rigid ethical or logical system for sustained periods of time, even if they are rigid about it ideologically and ideally. half of the point is to demonstrate how people’s logic is set to change given their circumstances. leaving behind thousands of people in sunlight ships is unequivocally wrong… until cylons show up half a second later and destroy the entire fleet, retroactively justifying the decision. that’s what survival IS in space. that’s the point.

[@Maurinuus]

It's one of my Favorite scene of the serie

[@MrGunzoller]

Agree. The scene with the exposure of Dr. Robert, who injected sick people with a poisonous substance instead of medicine, is also strong

[@alanafowler3024]

Just think if they would have just killed Gaeta right then and there then the Mutiny would never have happened.

[@WickedPrince3D]

If they hadn't done this, he probably wouldn't have been part of the mutiny. He risked his life for those a-holes over and over, and none of them even had the decency to apologize, or to thank him for the risks he took.

[@janehrahan5116]

Now a lot of stuff in this series is le crazy coincidence leaning heavily on the ~~a wizard~~ god did it defense. But this time in particular the coincidental nature of the scene feels intentional. It highlights how terrible a system this tribunal was. Felix was the resistances biggest asset and it took both his contact and the person he trusted to try and confess to both being on it, and one of them pushing him, to prove his innocence. The others could all have been just as innocent with no way to ever know. They just weren't the ones with luck on their side (ofc plot armor was a factor but still it was actually solid writing overall)

[@Jake-cm9jj]

I think people missunderstand what "God" was in this series. The cycle had happened an unknown time before this, but the fact was everyone was a "cylon" on some level. Everyone alive had been the descendants of AIs and normal humans interbreeding and creating the next cycle. Hence "God" was apart of all of us, being some level of background interconnection via AI. It guided everyone's actions hoping for the outcome that finally happened in the end of the series...letting go of the sins of the past and giving humanity a true fresh start. This explained why the "angels" could appear to people they wanted. This explained how some people, like Starbuck, could know things they shouldn't have been able to know. This explains why the cylons could feel God's prescence. This explains nearly every "coincidence" in the series without requiring a space wizard...yes there were still true coincidences in the series too, but plot armor exists in literally every story every told to some degree. The angels in the end said God didn't like to be called that, because he wasn't that. He was the collective unconsciousness of all the people connected by millennia of AI and human interbreeding.
