Love Col Tigh - flaws and all. Given the series ending i can't wait to see how he copes with the pressure. ^Please don't put any spoilers in this thread, I'm an unfortunate U.S. fan that is just now getting the series! I know you didn't put any actual spoilers in your post, but I don't want even a hint of what's going to happen. Anyhow, I think that Col Tigh, although hated by some, is going to be one of the most interesting characters in the run of this show! He is fundamentally flawed & raw, but when you get down to it, he is the consummate military man, hard-edged & intelligent, but somewhere below that crusty exterior, there's a heart of gold. Did anyone watch the deleted scenes on the mini DVD? Billy tells the President about Tigh's illustrious family military background, how he is a 3rd or 4th generation soldier, & that he was published twice in military history books & an honored & decorated man until his personal problems began to affect his career. I would love to see a back story about his past. If he never had the problems with drinking & such, he would probably be the Commander of a Battlestar & not just the XO. Can't wait 'til Friday night!  |

i don't care if his character is one of the most hated. He's hardcore to the bone, and i respect that. Long live Tigh!  |

Tigh is a dude, indeed. He's got about a million and one possible plot threads, too, so he's a script writer's dream. And Hogan is amazing, I think he's another one of those actors who doesn't act things so much as BECOME the character he's playing.
However I can't say Tigh is my favourite. Every time I watch any episode I think 'oh, so-and-so's my favourite' and it changes every time. I just love the entire cast and want to take them all home and give them lots of cuddles. ;D ;D

Plenty of plot ideas now for our gruff chap, especially with the way the situation is looking for season two!

Best line?
In 33 to Adama: "Are you eating this? (with mouth full)" as he consumes cold noodle leftovers.

Best line? In 33 to Adama: "Are you eating this? (with mouth full)" as he consumes cold noodle leftovers. ^ I love that line, also! One of my favorites is in the mini when that first Cylon nuke is headed toward Galactica : Cmdr. Adama : Brace for impact my friend. Col. Tigh : Haven't heard that in a while. Tigh says this matter-of factly about a nuclear missile about to hit his ship! This guy is awesome! He is the grit of the cast, along with Tyrol! These are two men you don't want to frak with! Hogan is obviously a method actor, he literally becomes the character he is portraying! If I were a cast member, I would probably call him "sir" because he has that air about him that commands respect. Clint Eastwood ain't got nothin' on Michael Hogan!  |

My favorite Tigh line from the Mini:
ADAMA (looking over a Dualla and Billy): They better start having babies.
TIGH (after also looking at Dualla and Billy): Is that an order?
;D ;D ;D

Oh, yeah, here's another good one. When Adama & Tigh are in the cmdr's quarters discussing Kara Thrace & her fight with Tigh:
Adama : I'm not gonna defend what she did. Especially the cracks about your marital problems. But you did kick over the table first.
Tigh : I did not..... unless I did.
That part was hilarious. Hopefully the writers keep giving him the cool lines, 'cause he delivers them with that deadpan expression that is priceless!
***Hey, administrators, someone needs to create a Col. Tigh "smiley", although it should be more of a scowl!***

That was a definite giggle moment. And here should be the point were I insert another Tigh-ism, but I can't think of one at present. Darn. |

I'm thinking he is a natural choice to play Sen. John McCain.

That clip of him saying: "Yes we're ___,.... yes we're ____,... and YES WE'RE STILL EXPECTED TO DO OUR JOBS!" Wow! Great stuff. Does anyone else think his character resembles Captain Haddock from Herge's TinTin comics?    Both are Captains.. both have drinking problems, both are uncontrollable when their tempers are up. Seriously, think about it. Can't you picture Mike Hogan wearing the Navy Jacket, all grumpy with a bottle of Whisky in his hands? Also, what's with people thinking he's a bad guy? I haven't seen him do anything evil in all 13 eps. I guess suffering from alcoholism, and taunting another character: "Starbuck.. buck buck buck buck!" gets you no love from some fans. Hogan gets the award for the portraying the most believable character on the show. |

Hogan gets the award for the portraying the most believable character on the show. I can go with that. I love Starbuck to bits on screen but I think if I had to live with her she'd REALLY cheese me off and I'd end up doing something like Tigh did, i.e. punching her in the face. And admittedly I'd come off worse because I'm a wuss, but it might make me feel better. |
