    I love the Sergent of the Guard's reaction when he takes Adama into custody. Not only does he refer to Adama as "sir" (thereby still recognizing him as a superior officer despite just being relieved by Gaeta), but he follows it with a whisper quiet "...please sir". In that one line, you're shown the conflict of their begrudging agreement with Gaeta, but their long held respect of Adama.

      Just goes to show how little support from the start Gaeta had for the mutiny. In reality there was a handful of crew, pilots and marines supporting it and it clearly wasn't enough. The mutiny lasted only what a few hours?

      @@richardtaylor1652 Most of them supported Gaeta when it remained mostly bloodless. When they started hunting down innocents and were on the verge with trading shots with the Basestar was when people questioned whether they were in the right and swapped sides (like Kelly and some of the marines). Hell, even Gaeta himself chose to stand down when he realized the mutiny had gone too far.

      @@Mobius_118 What I was trying to say was that Gaeta had a lot of 'reluctant' support. Sure he had support but a lot of them were really in it because they hated the Cylons, not because they hated Bill Adama. When it was clear Adama wasn't dead and that the odds were starting to swing against Gaeta then it was clear that he was on borrowed time.

After Gaeta was defeated, he was not locked in the brig, he was allowed to visit with Baltar, to smoke and was drinking what appeared to be the Admiral's morning coffee which Gaeta called the spoils of war. Also, instead of stripping Gaeta of his uniform, Adama allowed him to die in it. He didn't have to do any of that given what Gaeta did to him.

      @@WarGrowlmon18 I don't agree with you. Based on what we see in the series, Galactica is way more powerful than a single (let alone damaged) Basestar.

      @@InsertCoinBSGO At New Caprica it was mostly against 2 Basestars with 2 more showing up near the end and the ship was very nearly destroyed in the process. They had also scattered their Raider cover with that trick near the beginning. After that battle you could see the damage that battle inflicted upon the Galactica for the rest of the rest of the show. In one episode, Tigh stated that they'd need 6 weeks in dry dock just to bang out the dents let alone tackle the structural damage.
      As for the Resurrection Ship battle, if you pay close attention they circle those ships like sharks. Presumably the Basestars don't have gun batteries capable of fighting back at that kind of range and just use missiles. But again that was while they were teamed up with the Pegasus, targeted one at a time and were in a far better shape than at the time of the mutiny.
      As for Ragnar, mostly they just held off the Raiders and missiles and were in what counts for this show's peak shape for the ship. I don't think they ever actually hit those Basestars with fire.

      @@WarGrowlmon18 At New Caprica, they state at the very beginning that 2 more Basestars had jumped in, and there is no way to hold that many off, though you are right about the lack of raiders there. Regarding the Resurrection ship you are right, but the cylons had the same chance of focusing on 1 Battlestar. Also someone once made the comparison, that Basestars are like missile destroyer-carrier mixes. They are not seemed to be built for mid- or close ranged combat but to blow the disabled enemy to bits with missiles from a distance. In this case the Basestar and the Galactica would be quite close to each other in my opinion, so that's a plus for Galactica. Also don't forget, that after this mutiny, Galactica survived the assault on the Colony. Crippled yes, but survived huge amount of sustained fire and then a ramming, while gutting one of its' own landing bays. That ship was the product of the First Cylon war, built to withstand heavy beating and still be able to fight back.

    1. Gaeta was committing high treason.
    2. His chosen allies included thugs and those of ill repute. The remarks made against Athena for instance are thoroughly unacceptable. This is not the workings of a supposedly moral coup.
    3. You don't commit treason against Papadama!
    4. Adama, Lee, etc all put their lives on the line to come back to New Caprica and rescue all these people. And this is the thanks they get??
    5. The alliance was between Humanity and those Cylons fighting the Cylons. It did not condone the barbarism of the Cylons, or the destruction of the 12 colonies. In a way, it could be considered that these Cylons "defected" to Humanity's side.
    6. The methods employed by the so called mutineers were immoral, dishonourable and they turned out to be not only backstabbers, but thugs. Interested only in show trials, or no true justice.
    7. Clearly there were plenty of Marines, pilots and members of the fleet at large (including the civilian populace rescued by the Battlestar Galactica) who sided with Adama.
    8. In addition, these rogues were not creating a transparent choice. They effectively shut down all information, communication and did not convey what they were doing to allow pilots/marines at large to make an informed choice. For instance, during the chase of the Raptor carrying the President.
    9. I would have loved to have seen if the Battlestar Pegasus had survived and let us say still under the command of Lee, if say the "coup" had failed on the Pegasus with the loyalists retaining control of that Battlestar with Gaeta in control of the Galactica. And then a repeat of the standoff we saw between Cain and Adama. But switched round.
    10. You don't commit treason against Papadama!

      his reasoning is sound, however the admiral really understood how desprate the situation really was. This is not like humanity could keep going for that much longer, They are just one migrant fleet, protected by a buch of rigged auxiliaries and one aging warship with malfunctionning systems and an ever worsening hull. This is about the survival of the human race, and adama knows it better than anyone else : running towards the wall because it is the easiest course to make is not going to prevent you from slamming head first into said wall in short order. Adama knew that galactica would die on her own due to metal fatigue and that potentially the duty of protecting the fleet would have to be carried out still. This is a precarious situation and at the time there was no solution to it, so they needed the galactica operational for as long as possible, and that's where the cylon rebels come in. It is a tremendous risk yes, but one that had to be taken to ensure the prolongued safety of the fleet. In war you must take every oportunity you see, and that includes making use of the enemy's dissident elements to your advantage, as long as you can keep them under control. Geta's reasoning is completly understandable but would have beed the doom of humanity in short order even if the fleet wasn't targetted.
      For one being unfamiliar with the ship, we was preparing to jump with the flight pods extended, which would have surely broken the vessel spine right there and then, if not completly destroy it. and even if galactica survived it would only have hastened its downfall. and with the fleet defenceless the cylons would clearly have seen an oportunity to end it.

      She had been through quite a lot and was obviously very traumatized by the end of the show. I remember one fanfic I read years ago, back when this first aired, when Athena confronted Racetrack over that betrayal because Racetrack worked with her closely when she became a Raptor pilot and even volunteered for the job. I think Racetrack in the story gave an explanation about how she had come to trust Athena and it frightened her which led to Racetrack's betrayal. If I remember correctly, in that story Athena convinced Adama to release Racetrack and forgive her actions. Obviously not canon but still cool.

      The simple answer is at that point, there is no real way of telling who is on your side or not. It's utter chaos and only the traitors have coordination, so gathering a large group could just as easily lead to immediate betrayal and widespread execution. Once the fighting settles down and they have a clearer line drawn between who's who, then Adama leads his supporters to retake the CIC, but not before.

Reality puts these stresses on everyone in different ways, testing their tolerances and resilience, and the idea is that someone who'd never be involved in such a bloody affair in ordinary circumstances is sadly thrown into the abyss by all that's happening.

After Gaeta was defeated, he was not locked in the brig, he was allowed to visit with Baltar, to smoke and was drinking what appeared to be the Admiral's morning coffee which Gaeta called the spoils of war. Also, instead of stripping Gaeta of his uniform, Adama allowed him to die in it. He didn't have to do any of that given what Gaeta did to him. Despite everything, he still treated Gaeta with some respect at the end I think.

How could anyone on that ship seriously trust ty or chief, not after what they’ve seen, Gaeta lost a leg to Karl who had a child with the cylons. Everything bad that’s happened to Gaeta can directly be traced back to the cylons. I’d probably mutiny too if I were in that position.
