Sure, and he outranked Lee before…but Lee still got the command.
Tigh can’t hack it as the Top Dog and he knows it.

Neither could Mr. Spock. (Yeah, yeah, I know Star Trek is a tv show and this is real. Fine.)

He isn’t too shabby at being Top Dog in the Maquis.
Well Lee was promoted over him so Tigh no longer outranked him. Since Lee’s a Commander Tigh would need to be made a Rear Admiral to outrank him.
That’s because the first and second strings are both missing.

You’re right. I was thinking Tigh was also a Commander, and thus would be senior with more time in grade, but that’s not the case.
And his saving the ship by evacuating burning decks to space when everyone else was to weeny to take action that would kill some crewman was chopped liver?
with the previews we saw I really really have to wonder if Appolo and Duala are about to leave the show…we know pegasus shows up for the fight, we know it gets into some deep trouble and…there are no other major characters on board, that and it would kinda fit with the original end of the pegasus (80’s that is).
Thanks! Using your tip, for a trip down memory lane, I googled the IP and got a picture of what appears to be, from behind, a guy in a red robe with the biggest frakking afro I’ve ever seen.
OK, no more trips down memory lane…
Re: the cliffhanger rescue, they never got out of the cock-a-doodie car!!
That cliffhanger pickup was probably the worst gaffe I’ve seen in this show.
Amanda Plummer was fantastic. I hope we see her again.
Pegasus: Future looks grim.
Baltar will definitely be in cylon hands after Gaeta fails to kill him.
For the people who complain about the religious tone of this show, I’d recommend looking back at the original series that ostensibly inspired this one. For god’s sake, Starbuck and Apollo were at one point abducted by angels after a battle with the devil! Apollo was resurrected by these angels. It was a very religious-y show. Personally, I like the weird tone it sets a lot more than Star Trek-style atheistic sterility and goofy godlike aliens with the personalities of ten year olds.
I am so glad they’re leaving New Caprica, though. Oh, how I loathe the landbound episodes.
Worse than “Apollo’s two girlfriends whom we’ve never seen before and will never hear about again”? 
I totally agree. They either need to cut that shit out or start investing in actual sets for their actual actors. It’s amazing how every habitable planet in that galaxy manages to look just like western North America. For a show that hasn’t skimped on the important things, the planetside stuff is really starting to get weak.
I dunno, it looked cold and wet and bleak. I can’t imagine what else to do; rent 2E6 split leave philodendrons. Get the Lone Ranger Big Rock. Invest a lot of time in an alien biosphere just to leave it in three of four episodes. I think it conveys the right background to the arc.
Jamie Bamber and Kandyce McClure have opening credits. They aren’t leaving the show. Apollo isn’t doing a William Windom with Pegasus any time soon.
Where the frack did the humans come up with an oracle that Roslin and Elosha didn’t know about? And why would she betray the humans’ greatest secret - if she *is * human, that is. I like that one.
I didn’t see Xenabot actually take Hera, just notice a baby who meets her description on the street. Never mind; she knows.
But what I really want to know is: Why did Tyrol stop to *shave * before going to rescue his wife?
That means nothing. Joss Whedon gave Amber Benson an opening credit just before he killed her character on Buffy. The Zucker Brothers killed off the guest star before the end of the opening credits in Police Squad! Opening credits mean nothing.
Remember Tigh’s conversation with Laura about “sending men to die?”
I misremember the quote “Impress upon you gentlemen how important it is that the child reach a ship.”
Suppose it’s a setup? Hera is a ruse of some sort to occupy the Cylons while the humans escape. A hostage, perhaps.
Good point. Telling D’Anna about Hera is pretty traitorous. Then again this is a Ron Moore story and it could turn out the oracle doesn’t even exist. She’s an apparition who mysteriously appears and disappears when convenient to the story.
Baltar has a head-Six. Six has a head-Baltar. D’Anna has a drug-addled candy-loving oracle giving her the 411.
And Shelley Godfrey is an angel.
I recall it as “how important it is that the child not fall into Cylon hands”. They asked if they should kill Hera if that was about to happen, and Roslin told them “Just don’t let it get to that”.
Or, if Moore intends to play up the religous part of the story, it could be that the oracle was doing as she believed her faith commanded. The oracle said something along the lines of she was conveying a message from the god Xenabot worships, as if he might be one of a pantheon recognized by the oracle…
