They really kind of screwed the pooch on backstories. By casting Katee who was only 22 and couldn't really pass for much older, it doesn't really make sense that she could have been a Triad player being scouted for the pros (ostensibly in college), gone to the academy and become such an ace flyer so quickly that she became an instructor to Zak who was only probably a few years her junior?
I know they originally wanted a 35-year-old or thereabouts to play Starbuck (and Apollo was supposed to be around that age too) and I'm so glad they cast Katee and Jamie, but they should have tweaked their backstories a bit. Lee attending war college which is generally for much more senior military members also doesn't make a lot of sense, especially when you combine it with the fact that he was reserves and not a careerist according to Final Cut.
