The same situation applies with medical doctors on the current series. At least we've finally identified some medics. I find it real hard to believe that the Galactica didn't have a single merchant or trade negotiator, but that's the sort of handwaving I was talking about above. You just have to accept that it's better if we see main character do this stuff.Point taken.Sean Connery sure did.  That was one of the reasons he quit the role.  I think, though, that you're comparing apples to oranges. For one, they were two different kind of shows (the former a star wars knockoff with more of a family orientation, the latter a very adult drama). Kara isn't all women and acceptable standards were much different in 1978 than in 2005. Duala has had sex, which by the way she initiated pretty forcefully, and no one's describing that as a mistake. Every other pairing on the show has presented itself badly; tyrol and boomer, gauis and six, tigh and his wife, helo and boomer among others all have been messed up. If anything, the show is saying people who have sex IN GENERAL end up goofy, not just women. Heck, Kara is currently on track to have the series first NORMAL relationship. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
