We need some action from Zarek
I’m hoping in the next episode, president Roslin can get Tom Zarek to get something going. He’s been too far in the background. I’m getting hungry for some of his action. Zarek gets things done. He’s solid and dependable. A true man of his word. If I were in danger, that’s the person I want leading me at all times.
Zarek has a vision for humanity. Although some may not fancy hjis tactics, the bottom line is he gets the damn job done. Been a while since we’ve seen some Cylon arse got kicked.
Now there were some old time fans who wished he had come back as the old Apollo. But I think he’s much better in this role. Remember the focus of BattleStar Galactica, while the same in concept, needed the characters to evolve, and it wouldn’t make sense to have him back in that old role, again. The show would be no good if it mimicked the original series too much. The format of the new series is great.
His character is much needed. Underground patriots have always been a part of human warfare. In every war we’ve always had them. Civilian militancy is part and parcel of war’s history. If BSG was just a straight military show, it would lose it’s strength.
His comix series is getting a great response. I suggest getting them when you can. The covers are real quality, as well. OK, enough of me “preaching it” for now. As always, I want to read your opinions.
