Re: Human characters who act like dogs

[skeletal_history]

Uh, well, this may not be the angle you're going for, but the character of Helo on BSG always reminded me of a Rottweiler. He was this big, muscular man, a good fighter, but he was utterly loyal to his commander Adama, his fellow crewmates, and his wife, and never got aggressive with them, even when it was warranted or expected.

There was a great illustration of this in a scene where he and his wife, Athena, had just had their baby kidnapped, and Athena just shut down emotionally instead of looking for the baby. Helo got frustrated and angry with her, and there was a moment in the scene where I thought for sure he was going to grab her and shake her violently or scream in her face or something to get her to snap out of it and help him find their baby. Instead, he just pleaded with her, like he was begging, and cried. I was really touched by that decision on the part of the actor not to get physical with her (especially since the actress was incredibly thin and fragile-looking, and he probably had 150 pounds on her). He just reminded me so much of a big protective dog who could readily attack others on command, but was unfailingly loyal and gentle with his People.
