[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 2501779, member: 20741"] I love the show just the way it is. Episode #5 was very dark, but still - the best show on TV all the same. While I can't stand Colonel Tigh, I do not agree that there are few heroes on Galactica. I find: 1 - Apollo is heroic. To stand for what you believe in - most especailly when conflicted - is heroic; 2- Starbuck: How can she not be heroic? Travels alone across 100s of light years of space to retrieve an Artifact from behind enmy lines from the heart of an irradiated planet. Not heroic? Huh? 3- Helo: Here's a guy who gave up his seat off of the last ship off of a hell-hole of a world, as - literally -thermonuclear weapon are going off all around him. He does this to save Baltar, a man he reasonably believes will be able to aid the survivors of humanity far better than he. Isn't that the essence of self-sacrifice? 4- Roslin: A schoolteacher. Now the leader of the last dregs of humanity. A woman who saw the futility in a last desperate fight and the hope in survival. She reasonably believes that Kobol has literal truth and that Earth exists. She is determined to preserve humanity without regard to her personal health and circumstances. For a politician - she's heoric enough for me, thanks very much. 5- Chief Tyrol: Here is a guy who tries to take care of those around him, picks up a wounded comrade who is lower rank than he is because he feels responsible for him - and risks withering gunfire to do so. He loves a cylon and is torn up inside over it. All the same, he cares about the people under his command and goes to bat for the one who killed the woman he loves. He tries to do the right thing never mind is personal opinion. Not heroic? As you might expect - I think we have a significant difference of opinion on this matter. [/QUOTE]
