The Defining Moments of Felix Gaeta
Okay, it's been a week. I've been in mourning over this character, but now I'm feeling reflective. Looking back over the Epic Felix Gaeta picspam by webeh I wrote up a list of my personal Top 20 Felix Gaeta moments (with bonus scenes because there was so much that I found memorable!). This isn't so much a list of "best moments" since it contains many of Felix's worst moments too. It simply my own take on the most defining moments of this character over four seasons of BSG.
