I would much rather see an adventure that takes place after "Hand of God". Shoe-horning an adventure before the colonials leave the colonies seems to be rife with dangers. Why chance violating continuity just to get Starbuck and Boomer together? It seems clear that they are long-standing friends from the first episode. We really don't need a tale that cements the relationship. As for telling a gritty tale...there are enough gritty tales in the world. Battlestar Galactica was a tale of high adventure. The characters courageously faced a dire situation with grace and dignity. They didn't grovel in misery, they got on with their lives. My hope for the comic series is that they translate the Battlestar Galactica experiance to a comic form. I hope they will not try to reshape the original series into gino's mold.
