Just wanted to make clear that I concede to you here. I must have been mistaken and gotten the wrong impression, that a lot of crew members were tested. I now believe I was wrong. Best,
It’s easy enough to do. One of the things I like about the show is that Moore doesn’t follow the classic TV info model. Classically when something “important” is going to happen TV writers are taught to “tell them what you’re going to show them, show them, tell them what they just saw”. This 3-peat of every point makes sure the audience doesn’t miss anything, it also assumes they’re idiots and dramatically slows plot development (since every point takes 3 times as long to make).
Of course by not doing that Moore risks us missing things, there are a lot of things in the show that seem like throw aways at first that turn out to be important. Significant chunks of the 3rd and 4th season have revolved around the idea that Will Adama’s dad was a civil rights lawyer, which seemed like a minor aside when it was mentioned in the 1st season. But that’s what the internet is for, we point out stuff each other missed.
Have fun.
