Something has always puzzled me about Battlestar Galactica. Why is a colonel even in the cdc, let alone second in command? Maybe Glen Larson wasn't in the military and just thought it sounded good. I don't know about his backgroud. But now Lee is a major, and if they were following the navy protocols I thought they were, he should be a Lt. Commander, not a major. That would make it an equivalent of an Air Force rank, not naval. So does anybody know how they are determining rank in BSG? Just pull it out of a hat or something?
