Yes, I would agree that the Commander rank in Battlestar Galactica is more of a designation than anything else. cmdr.? Tigh could be a captain or commodore. Wouldn't it be a good idea if the rank structure for the show reverted to all-naval? Would it be too jarring to refer to Edward James Olomos' character as "Admiral Adama" and maybe bump up Lee's rank from airforce captain to naval lt. Then Ron Moore's remake came along and I expected he would rectify the whole thing. A Naval Captain is equal to an army/airforce colonel.įor years, I've wondered if there was some way that the GALACTICA rank and military structure could somehow be explained/rationalized.
In just about any terrestrial military, the naval rank of Commander (or equivalent) is one step below Captain. It never made snese to me in the "classic" show that a "commander" could outrank a "colonel". One half-baked aspect of the original series was carried over into Ronald Moore's new remake: convoluted military structure and rank.
