Wow, you guys are brilliant and the conversation this week has been awesome. It's been great hosting this week of DPP and I'm looking forward to my next turn in August.

To close out this DPP week, it's a Free-For-All! What do you want to say to K/L shippers? To the pilots themselves? To the world at large?

I would like to say thank you to this amazing community who welcomed me in and I hope we keep going strong. After all, there's a million and one things we haven't written yet!

He seemed annoyed upon his arrival at Galactica to learn that his father mandated hands-on landings, and he was unimpressed with the old model Viper he was given to fly in the decommissioning ceremony.

That is true. However, about the old viper, I think he was annoyed because it had been his father's viper and everybody was so intent on honoring him whereas he couldn't care less about it, given the state of his relationship with daddy at the time. Also, I got the impression he was the only one using that specific model for the cerimony. The rest of the squadron used Viper 7 models and that is why they were all killed on the first wave of attacks. The old models they started to use were the ones that were onboard to be exhibited on the museum.

I would speculate that Lee believed that his father was still fighting a war that was long over. I think that might have been one of his sources of resentment.

Yes, absolutely.

Oh, yes, you're right that Lee was the only one in an old Viper -- it wasn't a security measure, just an homage which he resented for personal reasons. Righto.
