: I guess the only defense Col. Tigh could give to his detractors is that he genuinely never asked for the job in the first place. If he aspired to be commander, if that is what he signed up for, trained for, wanted to do, then as soon as [[William Adama|Adama]] [[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II|was shot]] he would have taken control. If he would have barked out commands immediately, people would have jumped and asked questions later if necessary. But when Adama was shot it had to be pointed out to him that he was in command. He had to be asked for orders. He was in shock. He did the best he could. | : I guess the only defense Col.

: This ''[[Galactica (TRS)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' was supposed to be decommissioned, a museum ship. If he made any bad decisions, it wasn't with malice aforethought. The fleet needed supplies, so he [[Gideon|sent in]] the [[marines]]; government isn't working, martial law. The first words out of Tigh's mouth [[Resistance (episode)|when Adama stumbles into]] his quaters are "I [[frak]]ked up but good."

: He questions the validity of life and this ridiculous flee from the Cylons when you can't walk on a planet and you're just on a tin can in space. And then he examines all the relationships he's had in [[Black Market|his past]]. He ends up falling into bed with three or four different women. It's a guy tyring to find who he is in other people, and that process doesn't really work unless you're prepared to look inside yourself. He kind of unravels, but through the unraveling on a personal level he actually grows on a professional level, and he finds himself with [[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II|more responsibility rather than less]]. <ref name="sfm_feb_06">"Jamie Bamber: The Hunky One, | : He questions the validity of life and this ridiculous flee from the Cylons when you can't walk on a planet and you're just on a tin can in space.
