BSG links
Roslin as Female President I want to see the version where Roslin is the commander and Adama is the schoolteacher now.
BSG: Razor (wherein I am sad and angry) Admiral Cain and the evil dead lesbian trope. Also the major heterosexual bias when Adama says that he didn't turn evil like Cain in part because he has a son who keeps him moral - in other words, if you don't reproduce, you might be less moral!
want to know how I feel about battlestar galactica? Cain's and Gaeta's roles as teh ebil gayz, and Gaeta's amputation as metaphor for his gayness and loss of moral center. I had caught the disabled=lesser connotations, but hadn't connected that to his sexual orientation. Also Gaeta and Cain as family-destroyers, in case you thought RDM hadn't put in enough stereotypes.
I need a Gaeta icon. ETA: Mission accomplished! Ridiculously hard to find, though - where is the Gaeta love?
