And Doc Cottle

I cannot believe he survived the whole series, seems like someone who should have died near the end of s3 just to add to the atmosphere of desperation.

He was kept alive by his steady diet of 200 cigarettes per day.

HOW DID HE EVEN GET CIGARETTES!!!

They are starving and eating paper but somehow they kept tobacco plants and all the mechanisms for drying and curing them, which would have taken enough resources to keep hundreds of people alive!?!?!

A guy like Cottle buys cigarettes for a decade in advance.

Hell, even Col. Tigh was smoking rollies by the end of the series. Cottle was set for life.

I always used to joke that one of the ships in the fleet was a cargo ship full of cigarettes.
