A post from the past, rescued from the e-trash bin by a fellow BSG fan!

An interesting and unexpected discovery: below is a link to a post I wrote on the “Battlestar Galactica” forums on IMDb a couple of years ago — part of a thread that has since been deleted. The thread centered on the actions and motivations of Felix Gaeta, one of the more polarizing characters on BSG (and one of my personal favorites). I’d thought my post was lost for good, but it turns out a Tumblr user quoted it on her blog, thereby rescuing it from the periodic IMDb message board purges that are necessary to keep the Internet from collapsing. (And yes, my IMDb moniker was actually “Emperor Rawk the Chicken.” I have friends who will attest to this, probably just before laughing derisively and asking if I’ve been institutionalized yet. I’m not ashamed to admit to such a fowl alias, though I probably should be.)

Anyway, have a look if you’re interested. I’d thought about writing something similar to it on this blog under the same “unfairly maligned TV characters” umbrella as the Sansa Stark pieces, but since the original post survives I’ll just link directly to it instead.

And thank you to “daisytachi,” whoever you are, for preserving a piece of writing I hadn’t expected to see again. Cheers!
