				 OT:  BSG - command structure 
 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? |
