BSG Spoiler vs Wolfe

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I agree with your general point, but Galen/Callie was *not *a healthy
relationship.  Galen/Boomer was for as long as it lasted despite being
illicit and therefore covert.  Also, unless I missed something in the
webisodes, isn't the relationship with Hoshi about the only think Gaeta has
going for him toward the end?
