And Cindy is Ellen.

The parallels are striking, even beyond the physical resemblance. Some minor differences are allowable under artistic license:

• Tigh is old and balding and all he knows is the military
• Ellen is blond, about half his age and was suspected of being a robot
• Even Tigh concedes that Ellen can resemble a whore
• Tigh was a prisoner of war of the enemy, and suffered permanent damage to his face as a result
• Tigh gets flustered by people younger than him, and sometimes even explosive
• Ellen is addicted to alcohol
• Tigh is also addicted to alcohol
