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!

Ooh intriguing. Thanks for sharing more details (I can't listen to the podcasts anymore. Lol.)

Oh Fat Apollo. Your love of noodles totally sabotaged you. ;)

I would have loved to have seen Kara as commander (before she died) and avoid all that Leoben imprisonment stuff. Sigh.

I could see Sacrifice being slightly altered maybe where Kara does help shut down a dangerous situation but Lee still gets hit and injured and he musters out and goes into politics maybe and Kara ends up getting appointed to command Pegasus not long after? Maybe she's the one who goes over to deal with Garner and that somehow leads to good results? Who knows.

(Trying not to be sad about their insistence on turning Kara into a mess at the end of S2. Sigh.)
