Is Gaeta the Final Cylon?

Today was the last of the 12 "Battlestar Galactica" webisodes--so if you haven't watched yet--warning, spoiler alert!

My review is basically it was a nice diversion and lead-up to the premiere of the final season this Friday. I've always liked the character of Gaeta, so I was glad he was the main character of the webisodes. Plus the poor guy lost a leg and nearly died last season! He needed a break bad.

In the webisodes, we see Gaeta has turned to some type of space drugs to deal with all the drama in his life, which makes sense I guess. He ends up in a Raptor with an Eight Cylon and a few other Galactica crew, but their jump goes wrong and they end up lost. The Eight reveals she is the same one who Gaeta knew on New Caprica, back when he supposedly was working for the resistance against Cylon occupation.

Which I really don't remember since it was, like 2 years ago! So I got a little lost and confused myself. Oh, and Gaeta's gay! Kinda saw that coming. Yep, he and Hoshi, who I vaguely recognize. They even kiss--racy.

Then we learn that way back on New Caprica, Gaeta and the Eight got it on--I guess because they felt they had some connection. Turns out, however, the Eight was just using our lil' gay Gaeta (or does that make him bisexual now?). She reveals she was actually turning the humans in, using the names Gaeta unknowingly provided, and having most of them killed. Bitch!

And she calls Gaeta's bluff, too, on how he knew all this was going on but was in denial big time. So Gaeta stabs her! Naturally, with the Resurrection Hub gone, this Eight is history. But Gaeta's boyfriend Hoshi arrives with only a few minutes of air left to spare and rescues our resident one-legged cutie. And I thought, ok, nice and it's over--but not yet!

Seems Gaeta knows more about the Cylon's that he's been letting on! He knows Tigh is one of the Final Five, tells him to his face and says the humans should call of their alliance with the Cylons! And then he sets up some meeting with Adama to launch some crazy "plan"--but, of course, we aren't told what that is. Gaeta just indicates to Hoshi that he might not survive.

Could Gaeta be the Final Cylon!?!?
