As a kid, the original #BattlestarGalactica series was my second encounter with science fiction, after Star Wars. At first, I of course gravitated to Starbuck and Apollo, the pilots, but on later rewatchings, I found a new appreciation for Colonel Tigh. He was the model officer, competent, confident, strict but lenient when needed, and also with a devious cunning streak, much to politicians' dismay.

No finer actor than Terry Carter could have played him.
