No - his argument in favour of restoring the Presidency was so that one person, with the Fleet standing behind him, could stand up and face down Admiral Tigh.
Greeeat. I was part of his running campaign.
and oh, you know the Cylons have just found you again.
They didn't waste any time. Must have gotten Zarek's memo.
BSG
Ha! The one person who chaps your ass more than I do, and they made him President. That's the best thing I've heard all day.
BSG
Of course, "Admiral". I rounded up 50,000 feuding, starving, terrified civilians, reconstituted the Quorum of the Twelve, had an election, AND found time to alert the enemies of mankind. I certainly organized an effective supply situation for you and your uniformed dragoons just so I could watch all this go up in smoke, courtesy the toasters.
Yes. Sounds very much like what I'd do upon my release from years of imprisonment. Sell us all out to the Cylons.

::pops another anti radiation pill::
I hope I don't run out of these pills. I wonder how the rest of humanity has faired since I valiantly gave up my spot on that Raptor.
That's an interesting way to handle it. I like it better than having Steam disable my entire computer.
I do find it troubling that Zarek seems to respond to everything that Tigh is
thinking
buuuut given Tigh never could keep a lid on his temper, it seems likely he ends up saying these things anyway.
And in character...
BSG
Starbuck, what comes after "b"?
BSG
Zarek assumes everyone who looks at him is thinking evil thoughts about him. His paranoia is ALWAYS confirmed.
ALWAYS. DON'T QUESTION HIM.
BSG
Starbuck, what comes after "b"?
Not quite understanding the question, I'll go with the smartass answer and say "b.... a big pain in the Admiral's ass."
