From the impression I got, being stationed on the Galactica wasn't exactly the "top spot" or most prestigious posting in the fleet. At one point we are told that 30 Battlestars are destroyed which is 1/4 of the fleet, so say 120 Battlestars, all newer and most likely more effective combat units. IIRC from the old series, the Atlantia was the flagship of the fleet.So getting posted to a duty station way out in the outer system on a floating museum isn't exactly where you find your best men, especially since it was being readied for decommission. Let's look at the crew:Adama: washed up old war dogTigh: old drunken XOStarbuck: problem anywhere she is posted, relegated to the "boonies" where she can't screw anything up.Not exactly the cream of the crop. That explained most of the lapses in discipline to me. And now that most of humanity is gone, we got to see more PDA (public displays of affection) simply because people are happy to still be alive (and have ones they care about still alive as well).</blockquote>
