*Adama's deterioration is profound, particularly as the rigors of his geriatric decline become more visible, notably as his visible fatigue, irritation and arthritis. Adama is incensed at being called an "old man" and publicly demonstrates his condensation of various crew members, particularly Starbuck who he calls an "idiot" and "boy" in front of other officers. This seems to be the inevitable result of Adama readjusting his approach to command, given that he had been quick to abdicate it during the [[storm zone]] crisis during the latter half of {{Comics|vol2}}, which is now established as taking place seven yahrens prior in[[7351 (alternate)|7351]]. | *Adama's deterioration is profound, particularly as the rigors of his geriatric decline become more visible, notably as his visible fatigue, irritation and arthritis.

*Tigh's rejection of psionic abilities is not a new development. In the {{OS|Lost Planet of the Gods, Part II|prose=y|nocat=y}}, Tigh implies that he doesn't share Adama's beliefs.

This is exemplified by his apology later on. | ||
