You still are not getting the point. And to be honest maybe I am not clarifying it. The point is that the lead characters were replaced because the producers/writers/financiers wanted to be PC. It was not about who was best for the job it was all about PC. There are no "What If's" here, the point is they used females in the spots that males were originally used because of PC. No more no less. All one has to do is search the Internet to find this out.
Remember the "Sum of all fears"?, the written version has Arab Terrorists as the enemy, the movie version had Skin heads, the people in charge said they did it so as not to trample on peoples 9/11 feelings, but we all know better.
I don't think they did it to be PC. I think they did it to have some sexual tension. Boomer and the maintenance guy got into last night. Let's be honest, sex sells!
I'm wondering what the relationship will be with Apollo and Starbuck. Starbuck did reference something about Apollo's brother. I'm not sure what that meant. I don't know if she was involved or married to Apollo's brother.
