So, BT, are you going to give us a dramatic prelude that explains the horrible events that leaves us minus an Adama and a Roslin? Perhaps an explosive device meant for one that gets both?
The main thing I'm having trouble with is working out how Tom Zarek starts as President.
BSG
clearly Baltar was also killed in the attack.
And... instead of any existing member of the Quorum, they appointed a convicted and currently incarcerated terrorist to the role?
BSG
I'm thinking an accident that took out Adama & Roslin, and a FLA2000 type of election
they appointed a convicted and currently incarcerated terrorist to the role?
Hee. Seemed like a good idea at the time.
BSG
It's easy to understand. I was the logical choice. All the important actors in the electoral process agree.
Don't they.
Ok, I'm going to make a suggestion. We have six characters on board for this season. Everyone, if you feel so inclined, why don't you write a quick explanation (dramatisation or summary) explaining how you came to be here (or not, in Helo's case) after the Cylon attack?
BSG
I think that's unneeded for Tigh. Adama died, Tigh is promoted.
In addition, Galactica morale can best be described as mixed. Starbuck starts counting the hours and begins planning the decor in her cell.
BSG
I'm here (here as in lived through the attack, made it aboard Galactica *and* flying vipers) just because it pisses Tigh off so much.
Yes, I lived through a nuclear attack, just to piss off Tigh.
BSG
I was on Galactica when the attack started.
