This is speculation based on spoilers...

There's a rumor flying around that Sam's going to become a pilot.

And as much as it makes me laugh, it also makes a kind of sense, for him. We've always known one big thing about him: the cylons take away what he has and he fights back.

Caprica nuked? Sam gathered a bunch of people and did crappily, but still smacked at those occupying his planet.

Wife taken? He's part of the people running the resistance, sending suicide bombers off.

Wife dead? The only thing he can do that might give him a physical confrontation of any sort with the cylons is fly a viper. Marines are useless when there's no ground war going on.

So, yeah. There's a scary sort of sense in Sam becoming a viper pilot. If, y'know, he'd fit in the cockpit. (too tall, Sam. Too tall!)

yeah, I have a hard time imagining either of them squishing into a viper cockpit. Well, no, I can imagine it -- it's hilarious. like clowns shoved in a VW Bug.

Jean in a viper would be cool. I hope we get to see Seelix in hers eventually.

Sam gets head!Kara? hee. She can mock him for getting drunk and falling off the viper too. Because he's gotta feel stupid about that.

*giggles*

Racetrack, observing: He isn't gonna make it out of there.
Seelix: Ten cubits he does.
Athena: If he breaks his leg again, I'm not carrying him.
Sam: HAH HAH. All of you can shut up.
'Track: Five cubits he trips on the last step.


...er, I had a point.It got lost.

Kara is certain he's an idiot.

"You fell off a viper."
"I was drunk."
"Sam. You. Fell. Off. A. Viper."
"Like you've never fallen off a viper."
"I've never broken my leg."
