Gaeta is BSG's answer to Spock, and I think it's a worthy comparison after his work in Scattered. Damn fine. Spencerian 02:32, 16 Jul 2005 (EDT)
Role
After watching Scattered again recently (my I got my new girlfriend hooked on BSG so I am rewatching all the episodes with her) I noticed that Gaeta refers to himself as the OOD, or Officer On Deck, in the head with Dee. (PS by the way, why were they in the same head? Dee is enlisted, Gaeta is an officer. Moving on.) So here's my question: Is OOD a position or a status? Is the "Tactical Officer" the OOD when he is on duty, or are the two terms simply synonymous? --Kraetos 22:43, 28 May 2006 (CDT)
- I'm fairly certain OOD just means "ranking guy in the room": for example, many a time when Picard and Riker went into Picard's quarters to discuss things, Data "had the bridge". --The Merovingian (C - E) 23:04, 28 May 2006 (CDT)
