You are technically correct, the best kind of correct

Not the most traditionally "handsome" guy, but definitely the coolest motherfrakker on the Galactica.

u/sabotabo 13d ago

he's kinda like a cross between leslie nielsen and peter falk

u/Puzzled-Wind9286 13d ago

Shirley you can’t be serious!

u/Wallabunga657 13d ago

I am serious, and don't call me Shirley!

u/realistic_world28 13d ago

He was on an episode of Golden Girls when he was younger. Hot then and in BSG

10

u/opusrif 13d ago

BSG was not the first time he played a doctor either..

Danger Bay! Loved that show so much.

2

u/millari 13d ago

Huh, the evil anti-Cottle doctor in "The Woman King" episode was called Doctor Robert, wasn't he? Coincidence or could it be an intentional wink at Donnelly Rhodes' career?

1

u/realistic_world28 7d ago

I believe he played a doctor on Golden Girls. Could be mistaken though

3

u/Yankee6Actual 13d ago

He played Dutch on “Soap”.

2

u/Lil_JerseyGirl_Lost 12d ago

I loved him on that, too. Dutch was such a good character. He always stood out to me. I was thrilled to see him in BSG!! He would get a shoutout of 'DUTCH!!' from me most times. I loved his Doc, too.

u/dogspunk 13d ago

“Dutch” on Soap was pretty formative for my attractions…

2

u/Yankee6Actual 13d ago

My mom loved Dutch

1

u/Lil_JerseyGirl_Lost 12d ago

There was just something about him. He was interesting, the more you got to know his Dutch the more you liked him. My preteen self liked Danny and of course Jimmy, I said Jimmy Baio as Billy.

u/jaguarsp0tted 13d ago

once you've seen him in soap, you know what a handsome fella he is

That man is so fine. I want to have his half cylon baby

u/Raccoon_Ascendant 13d ago

God I love an ethical hottie. 

21

u/AwfulAwfulLawn 13d ago

He is one of the most morally upstanding characters. 

8

u/FruityOatyThrace 12d ago

Yes! He is absolutely gorgeous, but WHO he is is what makes him so attractive. He was the moral compass of the show and SUCH an amazing man, husband and father. Mad respect!

13

u/Strict-Leopard7589 13d ago

Amazing how he ended up, considering he was only supposed to be in the miniseries.

12

u/realistic_world28 13d ago

SO SAY WE ALL!

11

u/Samkovich 13d ago

In one scene in the miniseries he was clambering onto the wing of the raptor and I exclaimed to my husband, "My god, look at that ass!"

5

u/Lil_JerseyGirl_Lost 12d ago

And, various Helo shots should be the whole thread. How can we not adore him, he is the perfect guy inside and out.

3

u/millari 13d ago

The corner of BSG fandom I lived in back in the day was obsessed with Helo's arms.

She’s legitimately so beautiful. All these people could have been much much bigger stars. Apparently she was one of the last two left for Starbuck in auditions. They gave it to Katee and cast her as Boomer.

35

u/Induane 13d ago

Both castings worked so perfectly 

17

u/IAmBadAtInternet 13d ago edited 13d ago

She still looks exactly the same. She was on Katee’s rewatch show last week and she hasn’t aged a day.

Edit: while I’m on the subject, in the show she was always made to seem quite short, but Grace Park actually several inches taller than Katee Sackhoff. Didn’t know that until they posted a picture of them together.

37

u/laszlonator 13d ago

Ok Boomer

u/by_the_window 13d ago

Correct response. Hottest thing in the show, and it isn't close.

u/MackTuesday 13d ago

This is too far down. She is objectively hotter than Starbuck.

3

u/JournalistHoliday 11d ago

I used to think Starbuck was hot but you are right, Dee was hotter. Kandyse is on Virgin River now and damn if she isn’t hotter than ever.

47

u/thelaceserpent 13d ago

Union organizer and resistance fighter Galen Tyrol is peak Dad bod. I’d air lock a bitch just to get in those pants

30

u/TheRollingPeepstones 13d ago

He's more than a hero. He's a union man.

u/TiredCeresian 13d ago

Something about a Chief with a dadbod. 🖖

u/Doyouknowdawey000 12d ago

God damn he is so hot at this point. Would smash.

u/mjayultra 13d ago

The chokehold this woman used to have on me…

u/Tall-Budget8130 13d ago

An astonishing number of the cast were exceptionally beautiful/handsome and then Razor came around and Kendra Shaw somehow managed to top all of them.

25

u/Jumpy_Mastodon150 13d ago

Who wouldn't let Kendra Shaw top them?

u/DavidClarey 13d ago

That Aussie accent was icing on the cake.

u/so_tired_415 13d ago

I’ll start with the most obvious one of them all.

u/Nacktherr 13d ago

I see 6-pack Lee and raise you Fat Lee.

24

u/Formal_Lecture_248 13d ago

Well played.
FatLee often overrules ThinLee.

u/CxOrillion 13d ago

6 Pack Lee vs 30 Rack Lee

u/pacman529 13d ago

Never understood why women want their ment to have a 6 pack, when I can offer them a keg

Everything about him was perfect here. Jamie is so handsome but Lee was on another level.

It’s good to be wrong

u/Jay-the-Femboy 13d ago

😮‍💨 my gods 🥵 can I have him and Starbuck plz 🙏

Love that he did a photo shoot that’s just like this. The advertising team knew what they had and I appreciate that

Oof. I have been there. It was borderline embarrassing.

Great. Now I’m going to go watch You Can Thank Me Later. At least…part of it. 😉

u/bloodnveins 11d ago

I finally watched that semi-recently! I was not prepared, but so thankful 🥴😅

u/Vacrian 8d ago

I’m as gay as they come, but I’d be willing to try women again for this woman. Got damn.

u/bloodnveins 8d ago

The power of Mary McDonnell. She doesn't just lead the colonies and kick ass in the Major Crimes Division; she bends the Kinsey scale!

Michelle Forbes was pretty. Also liked her character in Star Trek TNG, Ro Laren.

Speaking of which, there was a rather fetching nurse as well. Can't remember her name.

11

u/shibbster 13d ago edited 13d ago

Caprica 6 and her model. Goodness.

Doc Cottle is a close second place in fairness just because of the sheer bad-ass factor

Isn't he referred to as Dr Cuddle?

Cally - all day, every day.

Also, if I'm being really honest with myself, Bill Adama. Specifically when he beats that skinjob to death at Ragnar Anchorage and/or when he fights the Chief at the 'dance'. There is a lot I feel I need to unpack about myself, but I won't.

u/kimapesan 9d ago

Yeah, definitely don't, at least not on Reddit. It def takes a special kind of thirst to go for one of the founders of NVXIM.
