Battlestar Galactica 1978

Hi, I am new to the boards, but I just wanted to venture my 2 cents, if I may. I always thought this would be a great way to further devolp the characters, as they were, in relation to eachother. I always veiwed the Adama/Cain relationship akin to the real life comparasion of the Halsey/Sprurance relationship. While Halsey(Cain) was the flashier, more agresive take no prisoners commander, history proved Sprurance's(Adama) brilliance. That kind of understated brilliance, so that Adama is recognized as quite brilliant, in his own right. Kind of the unsung hero, if the expression may be used. I think the episode sortof hinted to that, when initially, Cain wants to take Gamorray, and Adama wisely states no, that the Cylons could strike at anytime, and is proven right. But maybe, thru background/history of prior battles mentioned perhaps in revised dialogue it could be further illustrated? Anyway, thanks for listening
