For the original series Hyss? For original series ANY Gamilon? Yes that'd be out of character, since they were all, to a man, mustache-twirling villains.
Not so much for Yamato 2199, where they've gone out of the way to make clear that there are some good and honorable people on the Gamilas side. (Or at least if they're villains, they're usually only of the "punch-clock" kind.)
There are even times when I find the politics and machinations on the Gamilas side more interesting than what the Yamato crew is doing!
Melda is just damn adorable (Magellen Parfait! OMG the cute...). Captain Fraken (the guy in the dimensional "Space Sub") is one of THE
coolest characters EVER and he really gets a good moment to shine in Ep
25 when he FINALLY gives Goer what was coming to him! ^_^ And let's have a moment of silence for Domel. He may have been kicking the Yamato's ass before the tables got turned on him. But he's STILL one of the ones I'd not have minded hoisting a drink with.
Overall I'm so impressed with what was done to humanize the Gamilons and make the more prominent of them into fully realized characters that I'm willing to overlook the fact that --
I still don't know what the whole deal was with why they planet-bombed Earth. What the heck was the plan, there? Was there a plan? Or was it just a part of Desslok's whole -- "I must conquer the Galaxy to bring order to it so that we may have peace" thing?
