  1. Yes Tigh is a drunk, but there's a reason that Admiral Adama keeps him around. When the pressure is on, Tigh is a damn good XO! However, that's all he'll ever be. His downfall other than being a drunk is that he is not in touch with the average man. Much like a bad politician, he cannot relate to the average person. But in the military all you do is take and give commands, and Tigh does that well. As questioned in the film "A Bronx Tale" would you rather be feared or loved? Adama has the respect and love of his entire crew because not only can he give commands, but he knows how to listen to his crew.

    Adama definitely did the right thing for the good of the fleet by promoting his only son as Commander of the Pegasus. After all that's happened lately on board the "Beast" and it's dead prior Commanders, he provided them with an individual that knows what the hell he's doing, and most importantly someone that he and President Laura Roslyn can trust. Especially with the popularity of Gaius Baltar on the rise amidst an election year.

  2. Putting Tigh as commander would have given the show a bit more room to expand on,

    Except that Tigh is useless as anything except Adama's XO and everybody knows it, including Tigh.

    -And remember, Tigh stated when Adama was down that HE never wanted a command.

  3. Being a visually oriented person, I would say that I fell in love with the TV series when I first saw it as RT (age 12). Now that I am older (age 34) I am more critical of it.

    I do feel the story is more complete and detailed than DYRL, but I have such a hard time watching the series now due to the quality of animation. I recently re-watched it about 3 yrs. ago. I admit I love that fact that Kawamori always refers back to DYRL as the "official" visuals (mecha/character designs) of the Macross origins.

    I absolutely loved Mac Plus and Zero, although I think Zero lacked a bit in story development. As far as Mac 7 and Mac II, I never really bothered because of the negativity in opinion that surrounds them. I do admit when I buy anime I stay away from series and lean more towards OVA and anime movies because I know their overall quality will be better and more consistent. I am also not that enthusuastic about watching Mac II due to Kawamori having nothing to do with it, and Mac 7's whole idea of watching some guy cruise around in his VF-19 while playing guitar is not that appealing to me. Although I am very curious to see what happens to Max and Millia. Unfortunately, the anime DVD rental store near me does not carry Mac 7 and has no plans to. Oh well...

  4. 1. Every Batman film except Batman Begins, hell... every Tim Burton film blows!

    2. Robocop/Paul Verhoeven films

    3. T3

    4. Sin City (I actually love Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller, but after dragging my woman to this film, I leaned over and apologized after seeing the first 10 minutes.)

    5. Any Bond film with Timothy Dalton
