Awww! I like it too! Hell, he's done crap sorta like that for Starbuck, he oughta do it for Gaeta too! Hell, he voted to acquit Baltar, damnit. How can he be harsher on Gaeta?
Since I wrote this review, I have come to be convinced that Gaeta's entering this with eyes more wide opened than I thought. In retrospect, I think Zarek killing Laird and Gaeta saying nothing was the moment when Gaeta went in with eyes open. Note that immediately after that, he stops being subservient to Zarek, stops calling him Mr. Vice President, and says things like, "get on that frakking ship." I think he's figured out where things are going and is just hoping he can stay in power long enough to make a difference. I don't think he's yet imagining himself as permanent commander of Galactica - although that is what he's signing up for if this mutiny is successful - only because I think the PTSD he's suffered from the Raptor murders has caused him to have a sense of a foreshortened future
