Battlestar Galactica - Adama\'s Roman helmet

[Tarbicus]

A bit of trivia that took me quite by surprise.

Just watching season one of the latest Battlestar Galactica, and I was rather pleasantly surprised by something I spotted. If you're watching it, keep a keen eye on Commander Adama's cabin, where you'll see amongst the ornaments and artefacts he has a lovely Imperial Gallic helmet (Deepeeka I think, G or H, but hard to tell).

You mean that vague shiny metallic blob? :roll:

If you would tell me it was a giant Xmas tree decoration, or a model of some planet, I believe you too. :wink:

Unh unh. Bad man!! :twisted: It's a flippin' Roman helmet which can be seen better in other scenes from other episodes. That still's from a gag reel on the internet.

And if you don't watch BG, you're missing out..... light years better than ST

That was quick, thanks!! Well, maybe not the most accurate, but it begs the question why other historical shows use crap hats when they have that available? hock:

It's almost like my lounge, even with a grumpy old drunken **** included (you have to know the series to get my meaning :wink: )

It could be a DALEK!

Well, it's already got a sort-of cybermen in it.
