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!

Ok, so let's say that Lee resigns after his space walk, maybe to oppose Roslin politcally (no this doesn't really matter, but go with me...) and Tigh and Fisk are both taken down in the black market scandal. I can believe that Kara would accept command of Pegasus. I think she would accept command because she could immediately go back to Caprica for the resistance, maybe even try to find survivors on the other colonies. I'm not sure it's the best motivation or course of action, but it falls in line with the nobel, romantic but also erratic Kara Thrace.

I'm not sure where things go next, but I'll probably think about it the rest of the afternoon. ;)

It's so intriguing right? So many options! I would have loved to see what a not-crazy Kara would do with a command position.
