[QUOTE]Originally posted by FawnDoo: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by HerbShrump: [qb]Oh, I wouldn't put it past Adama to put Tigh in command of the Pegasus. Adama seems reluctant to remove poorly performing officers. No court will be conveined for the Gideon massacre. No inquiry. Nothing. It's all going to be forgiven and forgotten. He is even allowing an officer who pulled a gun on Colonial officers to continue in the role as CAG (well, until Cain reassigned him).[/qb][/QUOTE]I think that's a bit harsh on Adama - I think perhaps that he [i]would[/i] prosecute and remove these people in ordinary circumstances, but he knows that these [i]aren't[/i] ordinary circumstances and he can't, so he just gets on with it. If he prosecuted and jailed Lee, what would be the benefit to society? Justice would have been done yes, but a fleet that needs defending would have been down one fighter pilot. Same with Tigh: they would be down an knowledgeable combat officer with years of tactical experience under his belt. Justice is fine and dandy when you have a robust society operating, but when you're down to the last dregs and you have people who cannot be replaced and are absolutely essential, then you have to be a little more pragmatic. The bind Adama is in (and the colonial society as a whole) is that with under 50,000 people left, everyone is essential. Zarek's prisoners got jobs to do, and they have precious few trained military officers as it is without slamming the ones they do have in the brig. It's necessity, not nepotism, that drives Adama sometimes. Maybe if/when they ever reach a safe haven, there could be some accounting for actions taken in the flight from the Cylons...might be interesting. Something I would like to have seen on DS9 and Voyager but never did - Sisko being called to account for his action in "In the Pale Moonlight" or someone, ANYONE at the end of Voyager to say "Hang on, aren't half of you lot wanted criminals?" ;) FD [/QB][/QUOTE]
