Role

Should Lee's role be changed? I get the feeling he'll very shortly be CAG of Galactica again, but "currently" he's a Raptor pilot on Pegasus. Rocky8311 20:14, October 19, 2005 (EDT)

It should be changed when it changes. --Peter Farago 23:35, 19 October 2005 (EDT)

Cylons

Can anybody think of any circumstances where Lee has interacted with a Cylon prisoner? I don't think he has interacted with any Cylon agent after they were known to be one. If it's true, it strikes me as strange. Rocky8311 17:54, October 20, 2005 (EDT)

With Caprica-Sharon in Home, Part I. --Ricimer 19:32, 20 October 2005 (EDT)
Why? There have only been three Cylons identified within the fleet so far. One blew himself up, Starbuck was tasked with interrogating another, and Lee was in the brig during Gal-Boomer's last days. --Peter Farago 18:00, 20 October 2005 (EDT)

Lee vs Adama

The article was just modified to change several instances of Adama to Lee. Changing "Lee" to "Adama" done as an effort to be consistent with the principle of using the last name on "home pages" of characters. See Discussion Here I don't want to immediately revert that change (as I know exactly how long it takes to make those changes, having done the inverse), but I was wondering if we're going to stick with the last name policy or not. --Steelviper 15:47, 13 December 2005 (EST)

I've reverted it. Our policy is clear and well-discussed. Mq59 can take it up on Battlestar Wiki talk:Standards and Conventions if he has a new point to make. --Peter Farago 16:13, 13 December 2005 (EST)

Source for "Floating in Water" Cylon Comparison?

Robojerk, I could not find a reference to the one you noted in a recent edit on Lee's comparison to being a Cylon. I'd like to keep that one in if you can tell the episode where you find that information. --Spencerian 18:06, 17 January 2006 (EST)

I think he's referring to the "swim in the stream" business. --Redwall 19:12, 17 January 2006 (EST)


Demotion

When exactly did it happen? Last time I checked, removing someone from flight status isn't an automatic demotion. Can someone point out exactly when he got busted? Joemc72 17:35, 19 January 2006 (EST)

My take on this: There is typically one Captain in any pilot group--that person's also the CAG. When Stinger was assigned CAG for all pilots, Adama might have been demoted by default, but I can't find any record of that happening directly (insignia checker take note). When Thrace was promoted to Captain, she became CAG as well. While pilots can be Captains when not assigned to a group (as Adama was before he arrived on Galactica), being actively assigned to a battlestar may also change things. Another likely point was that Cain demoted him as punishment in addition to revoking his flight status until Thrace asked for him back. Educational guesses--maybe someone can read through the transcripts? --Spencerian 18:35, 19 January 2006 (EST)
Bill Adama refers to him as Lieutenant in Resurrection Ship, Part II. No idea when the actual demotion took place, or if Cole Taylor and George Birch remained captains after losing their CAG position. --Peter Farago 20:17, 19 January 2006 (EST)
I made the edit about his Lieutenant status. I assumed that it was a result of Cain's punishment rather than being assigned to Pegasus, as Stinger still refers to him as Captain in the teaser of Res Ship II. Also, getting a demotion due to reassignment sounds really wierd (though possible, I guess). --Redwall 20:35, 19 January 2006 (EST)
