'''Adamastache''' is the facial hair adorning Admiral [[William Adama]]'s upper lip. | |||
The Adamastache first appears to us in "[[Scattered]], | The Adamastache first appears to us in "[[Scattered]]", where it was revealed that Adama wore it during his civilian career. It appears again after the one-year jump in "[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]" but meets an untimely demise at the beginning of [[Season 3|Season Three]] in the episode "[[Exodus, Part II]]". While the shaving of the Adamastache was possibly symbolic of a new beginning for the [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)|Colonies]], we also learn through flashbacks in the episode "[[Unfinished Business]]" that it was also party to a "laid-back" Adama and possibly played a role in the alleged nookie between the Admiral and [[Laura Roslin]] on [[New Caprica]]. | ||
[[ | A photograph of [[Kara Thrace|Starbuck]] with an Adamastache can be seen in "[[The Son Also Rises]]". | ||
A [[Wikipedia:Moustache|moustache]] has historically indicated the man wearing it was a soldier. As ''Galactica'' and ''Pegasus'' had jumped away from the civilians, Adama's role during the time immediately before he shaved it was purely military. Though clearly he didn't originally grow it to symbolize that he was solely a military man without the civilian population, shaving it could still serve as a sign that, with civil authority restored, he is again bound by more than military objectives. Also, it helped get the nookie when he didn't see Roslin so often, but, now that they interact professionally and frequently once more, it is no longer needed. | A [[Wikipedia:Moustache|moustache]] has historically indicated the man wearing it was a soldier.
