Who Dies?
I was going to do a post that I'm glad Lt. Gaeta didn't get bumped off on Battlestar Galactica and is back in the fold (not that I really thought it would happen), but something else caught my attention on the show's video blog: Who dies? Apparently one of the top 7 or top 10 characters will be killed off this season and various actors on the show postulate whom it might be. First order of business, who are the top 7 characters on the show. Here's my spin:
The first three are easy.
1. Admiral Adama
2. President Roslin
3. Gauis Baltar
Now the going gets tough.
4. #6 (she and Baltar are tied at the hip; can't have one without the other)
5. Lee Adama
6. Colonel Tigh
7. Boomer
Would be interested in hearing other takes on this. Cue Lesley.
As for who might be bumped off, Aaron Douglas (Chief Petty Officer Tyrol) speculates that it might be Lee, and that makes sense. He's not critical to the show - the top 4 are the only ones critical to the show - and it would set up a nice subplot in which Admiral Adama has to deal with the death of his other son. He gets my vote as the most likely to be bumped off. The next most likely in my book is Tigh. He's a major character and would be another big hit for Adama. Otherwise, the list is endless. Boomer, Starbuck, Helo, or the Chief, to name a few. My bet is on someone key, though they did knock off Billy last year. Stay tuned.
Update: On second thought, it could be Starbuck. Adama is closer to her than Tigh. He loves her like a daughter.
Comments
I would take Tigh off the list and put Starbuck on instead. I think she's a more important character to the show.
Having said that, without a drastic change in how Cylon biology has been presented, I don't see how you kill off either #6 or Boomer. Both of them have already "died". They would just download into new bodies, memories intact.
I could make a case for anyone, other than Admiral Adama, being killed off. I don't see how the show continues without Adama. It would be an interesting twist of Roslin were killed. Who would be the civilian spokesperson then? Would Tom Zarek fill the void? Anyway, this show has so many twists, I'm not even going to really speculate. You never know where they're going to bring the show next.

Boomer and 6 could be boxed. Otherwise, you're right. It could be anyone else. Roslin and Baltar are major characters - Roslin as the civilian spokesperson, Baltar as the villain - but they can be replaced. Adama can't. Still, the show had an opportunity to kill off Roslin last year and chose not to.
