Okay, I know I'm a little late but I just caught up with the latest episode of BSG and I have to say they done did good.

I'm glad to see the Pegasus (that "elephant in the corner") finally go, but I'm also happy they did it with a certain flair. Love how many Basestar's it cost the Cylons to finally kill the ol' Beast.

And ya REALLY gotta love Adama's "Atmospheric Ambush Manuever" !!! You have to admit, THAT was truly original.

Default Tighe

I've finally figured out something that's been nagging at the back of my mind: why is Tighe a Colonel? COL isn't a naval rank, it's a marine or army (or air force) rank. And, all the others on BSG are naval personnel. Always bothered me, because the creators certainly knew what they were doing otherwise.

Well, I've finally figured it out: He's a Colonial Marine!

That's why he was so good on the ground, that's why he knew so much about boarding actions (and how to deal with the cylon boarding parties in the first season), and that's possibly why he did the things he did when he was in charge on BSG and on the ground (heavy handed, willing and able to do what needed to be done regardless of the human cost, etc...).

Whew. Glad I figured that out finally. It'd been weighing on my mind.

Small unit tactics, Guerilla warfare, the "do whatever it takes" mentality, the overall impression he's "uncomfortable" in his place on the Command Bridge...


You know, that does make a certain amount of sense. He really does seem much more like a rough and tumble ground-pounder than a fleet officer.

The entire episode was great but that was the best part of it! Great CG and awesome idea. Hopefully we get more impressive scenes like that in the future.
