-==His rank==
+{{WikiProject banner shell|class=Start|
-In episode 2.11 he is referred to as lieutenant by Commander Adama. Though future developments may change this back to Captain, should it be changed or mentioned in this article?
+{{WikiProject Fictional characters}}
-Secondarily, why was he demoted in the first place? Starbuck becoming Pegasus CAG and her promotion doesn't necessitate someone else becoming demoted; she could be CAG and a Captain while he's still a Captain, as her being CAG would still establish her as a higher authority.

-When/why was he demoted?  I seemed to have missed that.  A good fix would be to have Apollo restored as Galactica CAG, as I don't recall that position being filled.  --[[User:emb021|emb021]] 21:22, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

-* There doesn't seem to have been any reason for the demotion other than Starbuck's promotion(but I would think those would be mutually exclusive). Additionally, he was a Captain before even coming to Galactica, though it wasn't made explicit that he was a CAG anywhere, showing the lack of a necessity for a non-CAG to be a lieutenant. I'm just guessing it was an ''oops'' on the writer's part. [[User:Smeggysmeg|Smeggysmeg]] 01:07, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
-I guess its all a moot point now. :)--[[User:Kross|Kross]][[User talk:Kross|<sup>Talk</sup>]] 17:08, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
-Cain demoted Lee because he was Adama's son. Even thought Lee is a solid officer, Cain saw him as a "Daddy's Boy"
-Is there actually a list of ranks in the Colonial Forces? I recall in one instance Adama Sr. referring to the Chief of the Deck as the senior NCO so it implies they have a similar military structure as earth militaries. I mean Apollo jumps like four grades in two months? Somebody get us a reality check...
-Also is there fanon or canon about whether commissions (other than Adama Sr. becoming Admiral) are official or field commissions?
-:Yeah, Lee went from Captain to Commander in one episode...  So unreal. [[User:StargateX1|StargateX1]] 02:46, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
-::The list of ranks is [[Battlestar_Galactica_%282004_television_series%29#Military_characters|here]]. It's a mix of real navy/army ranks. Lee was promoted to Major from Captain to be second in command on the Pegasus. We found this out at the beginning of an episode. At the end of the same episode he was promoted to Commander (skipping Colonel) after the Pegasus Commander died (in the Cylon trap attack). Since they have very few capable commanding officers left, and since Lee proved his abilities by saving the whole ship from destruction, it's not so "unreal" that he was promoted quickly.

-yeah only having two military ships cuts down who you can actually promote to different ranks.theres probably less than 500 officers left in the fleet with the experience needed also adama may of promoted lee because he actually had senority over the other captains left in the fleet or maybe as it is in navies usually only people who have specialised in warfare and ship operations can be given command instead of an engineer or logistics.[[User:Corustar|Corustar]] 01:48, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
-==Lee's life==
-there needs to be a note about Gianne and his deathwish....
-== Fat ==
-Did the actor gain weight or are they really that good with the makeup these days?
-:[[Ronald D. Moore]] mentioned that they put Bamber in a "fat suit" during the "one year latter" portion of season 2 finale in the podcast for the episode.--[[User:Mxg75|Mxg75]] 05:35, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
