bardic_ladyOkay, I flatly refuse to believe there isn't a connection between Tara Chace, lead character in Greg Rucka's Queen & Country series of comics and novels, and Kara Thrace, of BSG 2003. Since Tara Chace came first, I have to believe that someone on the BSG writing team (and my suspicions run towards Ron Moore or David Eick) was a fan of Q&C and based Kara on Tara.
Here's a character profile:
Street smart, tough, good looking, rule breaking, self-abusive blonde with severe issues with her mother, drinks to excess, smokes, fucks around, loves to paint but not little art pieces, giant wall-sized splattering pieces where the paint gets all over her, sniper, best at what she does, involved with a younger man who dies and leaves her with an extra ton of emotional baggage. In love with her CO the whole time, even during the affair with the younger man.
Yeah. That's too close for there not to be a connection.
