== Humans ==
Line 12:
* [[Commanding Coolness]]
* [[The Men First]]
* [[I Minored in Tropology]]: During the Count Iblis story, we learn that Adama had studied [[Telekinesis]] when he was attending military academy; he invokes [[Ninety Percent90% of Your Brain]], and reminisces to Apollo about how his wife made him promise to stop bending spoons with his mind. This gets used as a possible excuse to [[Doing in The Wizard|Do In The Wizardry]] of Count Iblis' miracles.
* [[The Messiah]]
* [[The Patriarch]]
Line 74:
* [[Demoted to Extra]]
* [[Love Triangle]]: with Starbuck and Cassiopeia
* [[Romantic Runner -Up]]: At least we think so...
* [[Woman Scorned]]: Once caught Starbuck making out with another woman in the Viper launch bay. She vents steam from the catapults on him.
 
Line 110:
 
* [[Blood Knight]]
* [[Four -Star Badass]]
* [[Large Ham]]
* [[Recycled in Space]]: he is [[Patton]] [[Recycled in Space]]
Line 157:
* [[Hive Mind]]: Averted in the pilot - a centurion realizes that the "green and purple squadrons" are a ruse, and gives the order to open fire on Starbuck and Apollo. Also, see [[Deadpan Snarker]] above.
* [[Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy]]
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]
* [[Sliding Scale of Shiny Versus Gritty]]: definitely on the shiny side.
 
Line 167:
=== Colonel {{spoiler|Boomer}} ===
* [[Field Promotion]]
* [[Plot -Relevant Age -Up]]: almost 30 years have passed, so it makes sense.
 
=== Captain Troy (Kent [[Mc Cord]]) ===
* [[Plot -Relevant Age -Up]]: Galactica 1980 aired two years after the original ''[[Battlestar Galactica Classic (TV)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' - in universe, 30 years pass by, so the former Boxey is now played by Kent [[Mc Cord]].
* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]
* [[Straight Man]]
