Arktis Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 It's time for the idiocy of vs. topics to penetrate the Galactica subforum... but I wouldn't do it if I didn't think it was interesting enough! Who would win in fight: Miles from Deep Space Nine, Or Galen from the new Galactica series? There are no rules. The location? The Galactica boxing ring from the recent season 3 episode that used it. The crowd would include people from both shows. I would encourage people to point out the differences and similarities between the two characters. IMHO there is a lot of material to cover in that area. That was originally the purpose of this topic but I thought it would be more interesting to have it take the form of a vs. topic. Essentially I want people to engage in that sort of side-discussion. Edit: The poll is set up so that you can change your vote at any time.

Hilander72 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 We all know who'd win if the scripts were written by the Trek authors. :D In a fight (no plot holes) Tyrol would win (always bet on the big guy ;)). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 O'Brien - as far as I can tell, if Galen isn't up against a woman he struggles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tablet Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Are we talking before or after the blood wine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arktis Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 Tablet: Before the blood wine. ;) Hilander: They are both 'stout' individuals, so betting on the "big guy" wouldn't really be applicable here. Some of the similarities: Both "The Chief" Both Mechanics/repair guys Both on the chubby side Both well respected for their talents Both married to small women who are surprisingly tenacious at times, and have a kid by them Both have reluctantly been thrown into nasty situations with warfare and have had to do uncharacteristic things to cope Both have a nasty angry side you don't want to see Did I miss anything? What about the differences? Tenebrae: Dude, that's low... but you forgot to add old men. Hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFMF Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I haven't seen BSG so i don't know who 'Galen' is. So obviously it wouldn't be right of me to vote for Miles since i don't know who his opponent is. Natrually i had to vote for the only 'fair' option ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilander72 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Hilander: They are both 'stout' individuals, so betting on the "big guy" wouldn't really be applicable here. I know (now that I checked) and there's another similarity. They're both 5'11" and Tyrol got a 5lbs weight advantage (but that can vary if that's measured before or after a christmas dinner :D). Damn it he's on Battlestar and that counts a lot. That's why Tyrol will win. :o I haven't seen BSG so i don't know who 'Galen' is.

Some time soon i'll get around to BSG :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(not seeing Battlestar) However, has anyone got in a fight with a drunken Irish guy - the rules suddenly become very much one sided, and a lot like fighting Pikeys (Irish Gypsies - see the film Snatch) Have to go with O'Brien :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobxii Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Easy. O'Brien transports Tyrol halfway through the boxing ring floor. He then procedes to headlock Tyrol (who is now technically two seperate bodies). DS9 wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megalith Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I would go for O'brien, he is a vicious brute of a man who, is fitter than Tyrol and as such has less of a fat to muscle ratio. The Irish have produced some of the greatest boxers ever and they usually look like they would be easy to beat, Barry Mcguigan springs immediately to mind. A 5 lb advantage to Tyrol would be a disadvantage O'brien will literally run rings around him. However Seeing as this is a BSG forum thread and the story would be written by the BSG team then 'Tynol Tyrol' would be putting O'brien into the land of Nod.

Except that Moore has always liked characters/men like O'Brien, how do you think we have Tyrol?? He is pretty much the Chief, except O'Brien was here first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
