Talk:Felix Gaeta

message: "A few BSG fans have speculated that Lieutenant Gaeta is a homosexual character." - which fans, or just yourself?  reference to his surname?  Battlestar wiki has a much more comprehensive article, and does not mention this.  --Ling 11:00, 3 April 2006 (BST)

replies: text: Best to just leave it alone. Laura Rosalin hasn't bonked any guys either (besides Adar, breifly, apparently) and is helping some chick raise the Cylon baby, but we aren't callin' her any names, is we? I for one, am assuming Gaetas' doe eyed admiration for Baltar is leading up to him turning crazy angry when he finds out the truth about that guy. Maybe we should place BETS. 66.41.66.213 17:13, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

text: Is his sexuality significant? After all, the page for Starbuck (for example) doesn't have a "sexuality" section in which it is stated that she is heterosexual. ▫ Urbane Legend chinwag 21:04, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The entire "Sexuality" section should be removed.  First of all, it's relatively high in speculative language.  Secondly, there's no indication Gaeta's sexuality is in any way important to the story line, nor in "real life".  Third, there are no third-party sources that mention his sexuality. Fourth, specifically to the category, categories (per WP:OVERCAT and others) should only be included if they are significant to the subject of the article. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 08:31, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: OK. Turns out Gaeta is bi. But it has no bearing on the story... I'm tempted to delete the section for the reasons discussed above... ▫ Urbane Legend chinwag 12:10, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Gaeta - homosexual?

message: The article about Gaeta has become absurd. I mean, c'mon - there are seven paragraphs, of which only two concern first two seasons and all the rest is about the last five episodes. Furthermore, the last three paragraphs (which means about half an article) are describing only one episode! These proportions should be definitely changed. -- Vysogota 20:45, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, it seems to have become common to update every involved article with relatively detailed synopses following each episode aired. The entire hierarchy needs a lot of this sort of stuff cleaned up. Feel free to trim it down... -- Fru1tbat 17:06, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  You know, while I can do some minor edits here and there - and I do, actually - I would rather avoid doing general cleanups or writing large parts of articles. The reason is quite simple: I'm not a native English speaker. -- Vysogota 20:45, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  The recent events in season 3 have had the most important character moments for Gaeta. I don't think its uncalled for to have more detail on the recent episodes if they contain stronger Gaeta stories.ColonelCurt 00:58, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree that the character of Gaeta received significant development and screen time in "Collaborators". However, in the previous version of the article, the vast majority of the content was a scene-by-scene description of the "Collaborators" episode. The balance of the artcle was way out. Of course it's appropriate to mention the character-shaping events of "Collaborators" in the Gaeta article, but the scene-by-scene description should be reserved for the episode page. That's why I made the changes that I did, inspired by the comments of Fru1tbat and Vysogota on this talk page. Sullivan.t.j 01:10, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proportions 

message: Uh shouldn't it be mentioned that he has all but been revealed to be the last of the final five?
I mean he IS singing a song just like the other final 5 were humming a song.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.96.78.130 (talk) 19:53, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Final Cylon

message: Battlestar did this already with Admiral Cain being the jilted former lover of a Six model. AfterElton.com has been pretty vocal about the typcial gay=bad development of Gaeta. . I think this should be at least mentioned in the article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aximill (talk • contribs) 15:56, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Inclusion of critisism over making another gay character the villian?

message: Is there any relvant article or external reference about how the special effect of Gaeta's amputated leg was done? Was it CGI or just clever makeup and costuming? — Loadmaster (talk) 19:58, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Amputation special effect

message: "Gaeta is a homosexual or bisexual." I'm gonna remove the "a" from that because it's rather offensive, to call someone 'a homosexual', as opposed to just saying 'they're homosexual'.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.32.135.127 (talk) 13:12, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  "a" 

message: The article states In an intimate conversation with Gaius Baltar, just before his execution, Gaeta says "I just hope that people realise, eventually, who I am", a possible reference to his sexuality.
Since Gaeta is supposed to be "completely out" and homosexuality "isn't an issue" in the culture of the Twelce Colonies, his remark wouldn't refer to his sexuality as speculated. There are things more important than sexual orientation. Especially in the light of his imminent execution, he was more likely referring to his motivation and how history would be going to judge his deeds.--Dvd-junkie (talk) 23:11, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
