Adama Maneuver 

The act of dropping a Battlestar several times the size of a Nimitz-class carrier into the atmosphere and going into freefall whilst launching fighters. The Battlestar then jumps back out into orbit less than 100 feet from the ground, leaving a flaming silhouette in its place and creating a megaginormous thunderclap. Also known as the Husker Hailmary, the Maneuver was patented by Admiral William Adama, one of the greatest TV characters of all time on Battlestar Galactica (best show on television) and was one of the centerpieces of probably the best BSG (best show on television) episodes yet, "Exodus, Part II".
"Dude, the Adama Maneuver is completely infeasible when it comes to physics!"
"STFU n00b! It's BSG (best show on television)! Who cares?"

Major Lee "Apollo" Adama 

One of the main characters in the wonderful television show Battlestar Galactica who is the CAG (commander of the air group) of said ship. The actor who plays him is so beautiful that viewing him on screen sometimes causes Bamberitis. While currently married to Lt. Dualla, AKA Dee, there is a huge fan following for a relationship between him and Captain Kara "Starbuck" Thrace. In fact, in the original series aired in the 70's, Starbuck was played by a man. Apparently the two pilots had a sexual vibe despite both being men, as seen in the copious amounts of slash fanfiction. This may have led to Starbuck's gender change.
