Welcome to Galactica!
It’s tragic. I very often meet sad individuals – and by sad I mean individuals who haven’t had the good fortune to see this infamous series that I have had – who have never even heard of Battlestar Galactica, let alone watched it. A deep depression always comes over me when I hear of this, and I feel compelled to tell them all about a few characters.
On a more positive note, I once met someone who knew a lot about the series; and through them I found this great online printing website that sold Battlestar Galactia merchandise. I’m not sure if it’s still around anymore, but just the thought of some complex machine carefully crafting a poster of one of the stars I am about to talk about fills me with love and adoration. OK, I’m calming down now. Here, if you would like to get comfy, is a brief over-view of a couple of much loved characters.
…he was more than just a colonel who just stood around polishing his medals…
1) Adama: the commander of the wondrous Battlestar Galactica ship, Adama was also the head of the refugee fleet (among other prestigious accolades which I wish there was time to go into here but alas there is not!). But more importantly than that, this man possessed a charisma that was far more powerful than almost anyone in the galaxy, and it was this presence which was a hallmark of his origin: for he was considered to be the spiritual leader of the remaining Colonists…that’s right, this man was not mucking about! Basically, the point is that if you took this man out of the equation, the series wouldn’t be anywhere near as good.
2) Now we move onto Colonel Boomer, who as the very beginning was known more officially as Lieutenant Boomer – and don’t you get that wrong!Herbert Jefferson Junior was the man who made the colonel come to life, and a pretty serious piece of work. You see, he was more than just a colonel who just stood around polishing his medals. He was also an experienced Colonel Viper master pilot and someone who went in all guns blazing, but also cool and calm and collected.
3) And after reading just those two bios, how could you not already be intensely intrigued as to what other gems are on offer? If I’ve said it once I’ll say it a thousand times, and would here if space allowed! BG is an incredible piece of work and something that will always stand the test of time for as long as Space remains really interesting. Yes!
