We could try Lee Adama, since it's one of the best character articles IMO. While it still retells a lot of plot, it does attempt to note his motivations, character traits and growth. And it also focuses on smaller things that are important for him. Other ideas would be some previous nominees likes Virtual beings or Weapons in the Re-imagined Series.

A general comment: A suggestion I've received through the survey is to avoid doing obvious articles as "Featured Articles", and try some unconventional articles that still qualify. Tom Zarek and most of the other articles we've had in the past are, for all intents and purposes, very conventional and safe articles. They're obvious choices... And most people know about them anyway...

I think it would be best to spice up our choices a bit. Try something different. Maybe something like Unnamed characters (1980), Starbuck's Poem, Norman Blore, The Colonial Gang... something that is unconventional.
