If the idiot who played Tasha Yar had a tenth of the skill of Starbuck,

[Rabrrrrrr]

I don't think I would have hated the character of Yar so much.

And as I've been watching BG this week (bought the season 1 DVD), this is perhaps unfair of me, but I keep drawing comparison between Yar and Starbuck - probably because their characters were so similar, women in typically male occupations, both blond, both youngish, both roguish and tough...

Except that the woman who plays Starbuck doesn't fucking suck as an actor like Denise Crosby, and when she cries, it feels real; when she gets ready for combat, it feels real; when she's playing cards and smoking a cigar it feels real.

Yar felt fake in every line she ever delivered, except that hologram of her they played after she died.
