The other night while drinking with friends, I may have accidentally struck gold. Heavy with 7-and-7's and amaretto, we started to paraphrase the recently departed, BSG, even more so Col. Tigh. Slurring turned into "Frak this" and "Skin-jobs". Somewhere in the mix popped out another of my loves in life, Tombstone. Not the pizza but the "every other thing they say is the best tag line I've ever heard", "OK coral shootin'", "Val Kilmer's best role showcasing" Tombstone. And this is what we came up with.
We started with Tigh, who with his ailments, heavy drinking, shoot first demeanor is of course Doc Holiday. This makes Adama Wyatt Earp, which is a pretty easy comparison. As far as the two brothers go we put Pres. Roslin in one seat and Starbuck in the other. Doesn't matter which. Baltar is county sheriff Behan, who sides both sides, depending on the situation. And the cowboys are the cylons. Dean Stockwell in Curly Bill's shoes and Boomer in the Johnny Ringo role. And this would have to be first season stuff. Before all the religion and subplots. After all it's just a drunken idea but an idea with merit.
