Commander Thrace?

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

frolicndetour raised an interesting point in our discussion of Kara's promotions the other day. Apparently the writers planned to make her the Pegasus commander at one point. What avenues do you think that would have lead the show down? What would her time as Commander have been like? Would she be more in the vein of Adama or Cain or her own leader entirely? What would change about canon if the only switch was that she was head of Pegasus instead of Lee (with Dee as her XO? Heh.)

ETA: Tomorrow is Friday and because of that happy reason, we will be having a Kara Love meme here! Bring yo' gifs, Bring yo' toasts, get ready to raise a glass to the incomparable Kara "Starbuck" Thrace!

Heh I think Adama is TERRIBLE at seeing the big picture especially after UBEX. For me, he just got more and more myopic and self-centered.

I imagine Kara would probably hate to give up flying for command, for sure. And for that alone, she probably wouldn't want it.

But canon makes a lot of things happen that we wouldn't expect. I never thought she'd muster out to live on the ground and give up flying to play house. And the whole destiny plotline...well I don't think she wanted that either. :(
