This wholly contradicts the characterizations of both Original Series and Re-imagined Series, where Starbuck and Apollo are subordinates to Adama. Further, Adama is Apollo's father in the Original Series, so for young Adama to fly with his son of the same age (game cheat notwithstanding) is a temporal contradiction. An additional bonus mission for the game was scripted but never implemented in the final build; this mission would have featured the Original Series characters of [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]] and {{TOS|Apollo}} traveling back into the past to prevent the death of the young Adama. Details of that mission, including the script, are available [http://web.archive.org/web/20060722131225/hometown.aol.co.uk/redwingproject/battlestar4.htm here]. | ||
