Life Lessons From Commander Adama

Though he's had an amazing film and TV career and an incredible run on Dexter as Professor James Gellar, geeks everywhere will know Edward James Olmos best as their beloved Commander William Adama from Battlestar Galactica. The Commander always gave insightful advice, even if he didn't always make the best decisions in the eyes of the fleet. In celebration of EJO's 65th birthday today (and his portrayal of one of our favorite sci-fi characters), we're taking a look back at some of Adama's wisest words. So say we all.

 @Lizzie Fuhr I could totally relate to that episode. I get sucked into a BSG time warp every time I watch it!

Love this! I also loved when Commander Adama made a cameo on a recent Battlestar Galactica-inspired episode of Portlandia.
