Yes, I too would have liked to have seen the three of them working together on New Caprica. I know that they probably felt they couldn't afford Richard Hatch for too many episodes, but come on: some flashbacks during "Unfinished Business" couldn't have been too expensive, right? I really would like to know how the three of them got along. Also, Zarek's explanation of why he'd been in jail all that time during the Occupation didn't entirely make sense to me, because we didn't see him during the surrender, so clearly, he must have been in jail already, and yet, didn't he say that Baltar jailed him because he wouldn't submit to the Cylons? Like seriously, when would Baltar have had time to escort Zarek to jail before the Cylons showed up in Colonial One?

Incidentally, your comment makes me glad that I included a bit of Zarek, Baltar and Gaeta interaction in my exchange fic for you.

Yes! I totally agree with you about the New Caprica stuff. This of course, has been the joy of fanfic, but still, I would have liked to see *one* scene of Felix sneaking around in Colonial One or in those file rooms where Sharon got the launch codes. Come to think of it, I would have liked to see a scene with Felix interacting with a Cylon other than rolling his eyes in the background at them. He must have had to deal with Centurions too. What could that have been like?

And yes, definitely more on what led up to the Mutiny. But by then, BSG had gotten really bad at the slow buildup they used to do so well in S1 and S2.

I think that can be explained away with the fact that in the BSG universe, vice presidents are just never present when something important happens. Except if they're Baltar. Strange as that is.
