Now I think the thing we're all missing here is this:

Do you think that if the events that started the BSG series were to come true that you would actually have a CHOICE as to who is left to lead you?
Ha!

Oh, by the way, the answer is 'no'.

I think they lucked out pretty darn good with Adama, all things considered.

Oh, and if you think that stoic personality types like those mentioned in this thread actually do exist, you're kidding yourselves (and if they do, they are VERY few and far between). At least BSG kept it somewhat realistic. They have a character who can hold himself together when infront of the people he leads, but this does not mean that he is emotionless or 'perfect' at all times (especially when alone or in the company of close friends).

If I wanted to watch Kirk, I'd watch Kirk (and I have and still do). But this wasn't Star Trek, it was BSG...two very different shows, so why expect the same characters?
