History HoYay / BattlestarGalactica

* Surely this troper can't have been the only one to get some serious Lee/Lampkin vibes in late Season 3 and into Season 4. After being assigned to a position as bodyguard to Lampkin, an intensely unpopular man, it takes Lee ''less than one episode'' to form an almost obsessive emotional attachment to his charge; this, in turn, results in Lee's willing resignation of his entire career in favor of joining Lampkin in the task of legally defending the most hated human being in existence. Later, upon the realization that Lee is the best candidate for president of the Colonies and driven to despair by the killing of his beloved cat, Romo nearly kills Lee, believing that his assumption of the presidency would be a [[IncorruptiblePurePureness beacon of hope]] to an undeserving race. Lee reacts by making his first presidential act the acquisition of a dog for Lampkin, which then appears with or is mentioned by him in each of his later appearances. [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Aww.]]

** Several times in "Scar" and "The Passage" their faces were so close together this troper can't believe they didn't kiss.

** David Eick said in a commentary that the writers toyed with the idea of making Amanda/Clarice fully sexual but decided to go with deliberate LesYay.
* This troper has yet to finish the series but Zoe and Lacy? Good lord.

** Then there was canonical Gina/Cain and Caprica/D'Anna. The latter technically being [[NotBloodSiblings Sister Sister Incest]].
** The possible relationship between Zarek and his former cellmate Meier was joked about by those on set, especially as the actor playing Meier had been in "Cruising" (1980).
** In a deleted scene Head-Six comments to Baltar upon seeing Starbuck "If you sleep with this one, I'll join you." Unfortunately when this happens we only see Head-Six watching with disproval from the sidelines. Arrgh!
*** The Writer's Bible document shows that the plan was originally for Head Six to join in.
** To call what goes on between Lee and Sam on the Algae Planet subtext is like saying Saul enjoys the occasional drink. It doesn't help that they're both sweaty and wearing muscle shirts. WordOfGod even pokes fun at this.
** Speaking of Saul Tigh, it's pretty much canon that he and Bill Adama are the real love story of the series. Even his [[LadyDrunk wife]], Ellen, is rather ticked that Saul "loves" Bill more than her, and always has.
*** Search for "Brokeback Galactica".
**** That one will also get you Lee/Sam.
*** Take a look at the Season Two opener, "Scattered", Adama [[spoiler: has been shot]] and Tigh flashes back repeatedly to the first time the two met.
** Also, Starbuck/Kat. Starbuck holds Kat to higher standards than any of her other students, and when it is revealed that Kat has been taking stims (something that Starbuck disapproves of), Starbuck is personally offended. Kat is also the only one who will consistently call Starbuck on her various hypocrisies, and in the episode "Scar," the two of them engage in a heated competition to kill the titular raider, with the prize being the right to drink out of Starbuck's cup. [[spoiler:Later, Kat dies heroically, prompting Starbuck to tell her friends that when she dies, she wants her picture placed next to Kat's. And when Starbuck puts Kat's picture on the wall of memories,]] it is next to the word LOVE.
*** Several times in "Scar" and "The Passage" their faces were so close together this troper can't believe they didn't kiss.
** Sam and Galen spend a lot of the fourth season giving each other meaningful looks. Now, granted that was largely due to them both [[spoiler:being cylons]], but still.
*** How did they spend the time on that ship [[spoiler:heading from Earth to the Colonies]]? Sam/Tory/Galen threesome, anyone?

** Starbuck is even jealous of Apollo's prospective bride Serina who is set to replace the former much to the dismay of both men, [[spoiler:who would later succumb to CartwrightCurse.]] Then again, it may have been just about being replaced as Apollo's wigman. [[DoubleEntendre As if.]] Later comes a reunion scene between the two in which they embraced.

* There seems to be plenty of this between Apollo and Starbuck as the original series progressed. It's especially evident in the second part of "War of the Gods" in which [[spoiler:Apollo is 'killed' and Starbuck falls apart, losing his head and then collapsing in tears. Then he offers the Beings of Light his life in exchange for Apollo's and when Apollo is restored, Starbuck smiles through his tears.]] Since then (and even before), the two warriors would risk their lives for each other.

Then he offers the Beings of Light his life in exchange for Apollo's and when Apollo is restored, Starbuck smiles through his tears.]] Since then (and even before), the two warriors would risk their lives for each other. Heck, Starbuck is even jealous of Apollo's prospective bride Serina who is set to replace the former much to the dismay of both men, [[spoiler:who would later succumb to CartwrightCurse.]]

-->'''Apollo:''' ''"Starbuck, it's me, Apollo. Remember? We Talk about things."''

* There seems to be plenty of this between Apollo and Starbuck in the original series. Especially the drive to rescue each other and the 'It's Me Apollo' quotes.
** The 'It's Me Apollo' quote happens a couple of times, first during 'The Living Legend Part 1' when Apollo coaxes Starbuck into admitting the latter's jealousy for Cain over Cassiopeia while adding to the fact that "friends talk about things". The second time happened in 'Take the Celestra' when Starbuck was about to take off for the maintenance ship to see an old flame.
-->'''Apollo:''' ''"Starbuck, it's me, Apollo. If you want to go, why didn't you just ask me?"''
-->'''Starbuck:''' ''"I just thought you'd try and stop me."''
** The fact that they would rescue each other from floating into space or rush into each other's rescue in a remote planet makes it pretty clear the two warriors care a great deal for one another despite Apollo being Starbuck's superior. Somehow, even Commander Cain can see the obvious closeness and tells Starbuck that Apollo will need him. It's also obvious Starbuck was upset or even jealous when Serina [[spoiler:was to be Apollo's new wingman, which explains why he took off on his own - stealing Apollo's Viper.]] In turn, Apollo gets upset when no one else but him believes Starbuck is framed for his rival's murder.

** The fact that they would rescue each other from floating into space or rush into each other's rescue in a remote planet makes it pretty clear the two warriors care a great deal for one another despite Apollo being Starbuck's superior. Not to mention the big hug Apollo gave Starbuck upon the latter's return from a Cylon basestar in which he was captured before Starbuck remarks that it's awkward to hug a junior officer.

* Some have pointed out that Gaeta and Baltar of the remade ''[[Series/BattlestarGalacticaReimagined Battlestar Galactica]]'' (Gaeta especially) behave like a love affair gone sour in the third season. (And just what ''did'' Baltar whisper to Gaeta anyway?) It doesn't hurt that more than one of the actors involved in the show have explicitly stated they believe the character of Gaeta is gay.

** Actually, this trooper saw some Gaeta->Baltar as early as season 1, "6 degrees of seperation," when Gaeta, of his own accord, re-scanned the disc 6 had given him, which showed Baltar blowing up Caprica's defence HQ, and prooved it had been false.

* Amanda's relationship with Sister Willow is somewhat interesting. One the one hand, she's an emotionally unstable woman relying on her religious offical for support. On the other hand, they seem to be ''really'' close. Also, said leader is both a)bisexual and b)polygamist. Who's to say her seven spouses wouldn't be willing to share? There's also a certain amount of this with Clarice and Lucy.
