Moore: I think she has.

I think this is pretty clear, given the source, so we can probably get rid of "presumed" from the succession box. I do want to point out that she'd pretty much have to be a captain or higher to be in the XO position (Captain Aaron Kelly filled in as XO while Tigh was in command). For Dualla to go from PO2 (E-5) to Captain (O-4) in a year would demand both a very fast series of promotions, and a very high rate of attrition within the officer ranks. I don't think it's ''completely'' implausible, but it's hard to imagine that ''Pegasus'' didn't have a single officer left with any command competence. It's also probably not good military practice to have one's significant other in a directly subordinate position, but Dualla's strong willed enough (c.f. Home, Part I) that it's probably not a huge problem. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 16:56, 24 March 2006 (CST) | I think this is pretty clear, given the source, so we can probably get rid of "presumed" from the succession box.

Revision as of 22:57, 24 March 2006
Sooooo...anybody else completely stumped as to how this whole wiki thing is going to go now? Rocky8311 22:20, 10 March 2006 (CST)
Meaning what exactly?--The Merovingian 22:22, 10 March 2006 (CST)
Well, just how everything's been turned on its head and it's hard to know what the characters' roles are now. And we're not going to know exactly what happened in the finale until we're able to determine it from the next season's episodes. Mostly, I was just shellshocked when I wrote that and I CANNOT believe they're hanging us out to dry until October. Rocky8311 01:11, 11 March 2006 (CST)
XO of Pegasus[edit]
The relevant info from Lay Down Your Burdens, Part 2 (podcast) (Act 7, yet to be transcribed):
Eick: Now we never talked about this, but is she the XO here? Do we think she's become the Tigh of the Pegasus?
Moore: I think she has. I think that's something that happened in the year off and I think that essentially so many people left Galactica and Pegasus that they really are on skeleton crews and, y'know, somebody like Dualla that went to Pegasus to be with Lee, presumably, and we'll deal more with— we have episodes that deal more with the circumstances of that in season three, and how that happened and why, but the idea was she essentially went over there and more people kept leaving and leaving, and Lee made her the XO.
I think this is pretty clear, given the source, so we can probably get rid of "presumed" from the succession box.
