Wow, that was so good. Very well written.

I loved this line, The admiral shrugs, again a slight gesture, and for a man of such stature and personality he has such slight gestures - it's so true!

Bill isn't a man of many words (until he starts making his big Adama Speech (TM)) and he gets his point across without need for words, and I think you used that so very well.

Lee feeling still like a child in his father's presence even though he is the CAG and was the Commander of the Pegasus is so realistic, especially since his dad is Admiral Adama, the all-time hero.

Very well done! Thank you for sharing :)

Thank you! And yeah, if Bill would just stop giving speeches . . . ::grin::

Actually I love Bill!Speeches, they always have that pointed meaning that was missing in the episode. Anyway, his speeches contain more words than he says through the whole episode usually so they're fine :)

[gabolange]

Ah, that makes sense. Whether I like his speeches depends on the context, and I think this past episode's speech just made me go, "WHAT?!" But he can always be counted on to have a word or fifty for his men, and I enjoy that because I expect it.

<3s Bill.

I thought the speech from this episode was in place. His crew is starting to mess up and they're all blaming it on New Caprica, and they're all counting on him to be The Man (TM) and save them and he needed to prove to them that he's not The Man (TM) all the time, that he can be beaten too and that he needs their help and for them to do their work and fill their roles so that they don't get beaten.

Hm. I hadn't thought about it like that, and that really *does* work. I'd been thinking of it as more misplaced Bill guilt, taking every problem on his shoulders whether he was responsible or not, and I kind of wanted to smack him for it. I think I like your interpretation more. Definitely. We're gonna go with that one. :-)

LOL!
If you liked that you should read my review, it's even better (and a lot more squee!!) It's here. :)
