[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mighty Blogger Snay: [QB] B.J., Yeah, but they mention that the Vipers were specially outfitted for the mission with those bombs. I might've misinterpreted that dialogue -- it's been awhile since I saw the episode -- it could be that those bombs just aren't usually on the ordinance package of a Viper. [QUOTE] WHY is the CAG manually directing refueling operations? I wouldn't think that would be anywhere near his job description.[/QUOTE]Takin' a stab at this here ... but I think with Galactica being so short handed, everyone is doing more than their "job description", and remembering that Galactica's losses to their pilots have been particularly high, the new CAG is -- scary as this is -- the guy best qualified for the operation. I think its something that any of the regular "old school" pilots we've seen could do in their sleep -- i.e., Starbuck, Helo, Boomer M1, Crashdown, Apollo* -- but how many of those are on Galactica this episode? In fact, I wonder just how many "old school" pilots remain ("old school" as in, 'not drafted at the last minute because a missile accident killed twenty experienced pilots). *And remember that Apollo was only CAG because he was the ranking officer. The previous CAG was most likely the rank of Colonel or Commander with the same experience and length of service as Adama and Tigh. [QUOTE]Initially, I thought Richard Hatch's character was going to be a one-time "look who we've got!" thing. Boy was I wrong! He's trying to stage his own takeover, so there's not two but at least three different factions wrestling for control.[/QUOTE]Y'know, in "Colonial Day" I was certain his goal was to become President. But after this episode, I think he's after the true source of power -- guns! -- Adama's job (as Apollo said, "Hold no illusions, if Galactica wants to take us, they will.") Remember, he and Remar are all "Oh, I can be Commander of this fleet!" He's a slippery fuck. I wonder how long he'll survive. [/QB][/QUOTE]
