Jamie Bamber of Battlestar Galactica speaks to Out in this really cool article. Of course, they couldn’t resist commenting about the towel he almost drops in one episode. Anyhow, Bamber seems to be very cool guy.
Check it out. He’s the latest to speculate on Gaeta being gay. This single guy’s never had a girlfriend, doesn’t seem interested in having one, and followed Baltar closely for a while. His big crime of passion was to almost kill Baltar close to the end of the season. He is the latest in a line of science fictions characters with questionable sexuality. On Deep Space Nine, Garak seemed very gay throughout, though the writers tried to straighten him with his romance with Ziyal. Star Trek: The Next Generation‘s Q was extremely flamboyant and had an intense interest in Picard, though he would be assigned a wife in Voyager. So what’s up, Gaeta? Is there a hot man in your future?

Virginia Tech incident, tragedies on many levels
Here, a school teacher (known as His Big Bear Ron on YouTube) in Atlanta, Georgia, reflects on what happened this week in Virginia Tech this week. What he is is very astute. Given the tragedy almost a decade ago in Columbine, there has been a failure to see what ails youth. Why are some so alienated? How does one address kids who are picked on, disenfranchised from the rest of their school community?
It’s hard to say with Cho Seung-Hui. His video manifesto, oddly poetic at times, gave no hint of the root of his rage, and he spoke in abstractions. His targets most likely had little to do with him being picked on in high school, but there must have been some strange logic at work.
Instead of being an excuse for schools and legislators to make the lives of young people more miserable (or even to spend more money on security), we do need to take look at ourselves (grownups and young people alike) and how to move forward with what we have learned.
