Admiral Bill Adama
May 9, 2008 10:55 pm Battlestar GalacticaAdmiral Bill Adama - "Husker", Cylon War Hero. Leader of the Fleet.
Pros:
- It would be a great "oh wow!" moment.
- Having a captain (and now admiral) in the Colonial fleet would be a killing blow to the humans.
- It could explain the close bond between Tigh and Adama…
Cons:
- If you are going to infiltrate the Galactica with Tigh, it doesn’t make sense to add Adama as well. One would be enough. It would especially be counter-intuitive if the cylons didn’t know they were cylons. Adama would be on the lookout for cylons as well as Tigh and they could accidentally stop each other.
- He’s just too old. He fought in the first war before the cylons had mastered creating human-looking cylons. This would mean that he would need to be a human to start with and then replaced down the road. Again, the cylons haven’t demonstrated that ability.
- He’s the father of Lee Adama. Hera is supposed to be the first cylon/human child, but that would make Lee the first.
Overall:
While it would be a great reveal… that the Admiral of the fleet is a cylon… it just cannot work. He’s too old and doen’t fit the profile.
Chances of being a Cylon: 2%
