You know, this has gotten a little afield of my original inquiry. -- [[User:Centuri|Centuri]] 21:59, 10 January 2006 (EST) | | :::::Not just Adama -- his entire command.

| : Coming into this one late, a few points. Firstly, I disagree that [[Helena Cain]] is all that different from [[Cain (TOS)]]. Both characters had become laws unto themselves, by virtue of honestly believing they were the last of humanity. Both characters were prepared to do whatever they believed was necessary to continue to prosecute the war, even if they stood no chance of ultimately bringing the Cylons down entirely. Neither character actually adjusted well to being re-integrated with a larger body of survivors, the main difference being that [[Cain (TOS)|Cain]] didn't actually outrank [[Adama (TOS)]]; [[Adama (TOS)|Adama]] was willing to defer to him somewhat, because he saw [[Cain (TOS)|Cain]] as a tactical genius, but the two were equals. The other difference is that TOS was made in the 1970s and was seen as family programming (witness their refusal to allow [[Cassiopeia]] to remain a [[socialator]] for the series). [[Cain (TOS)|Cain]] could be portrayed as a maverick, a hard-ass, and a bit touched, but not a murderer of his own crew, let alone someone who would conscript civilians, steal the remainder's supplies, and run. I don't believe it's actually out of character for [[Cain (TOS)]], they just couldn't say he did it. Frankly, I think the real reason it comes across creepier is because [[Helena Cain]] is a woman, and even in 2006 we still have cultural ideas that tell us that women don't do that sort of thing. Which is almost certainly why RDM chose that particular gender swap.--[[User:UncleMikey|Uncle Mikey]] 14:11, 24 February 2006 (EST)
