"Phyrric"

"Phyrric Colonial victory", what does that mean? According to Merriam-Webster and Dictionary.com, "phyrric" doesn't even exist. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 15:07, 4 November 2007 (CST)

Pyrrhic is the word, actually. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 15:11, 4 November 2007 (CST)

Sorry for the typo :( I assume you found out the meaning by now, but it's a victory achieved at such great cost that you might as well have lost. Can you please refrain from editing the page for a while, as I'm just writing up a longer text? :) --Serenity 15:16, 4 November 2007 (CST)

Sure. There's also {{inuse}} for that purpose. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 15:25, 4 November 2007 (CST)

Fisk's rank

When I rewatch "Razor" tomorrow, I'll see if I can determine Fisk's rank at the moment Cain kills Belzen, as I don't believe Fisk was a Colonel prior to being promoted to XO. Cain's "Colonel Fisk!" line would then be an implicit promotion. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 15:48, 4 November 2007 (CST)

Either that, or he was a colonel before. It's not entirely impossible. Fisk's position is never stated though. --Serenity 15:57, 4 November 2007 (CST)

Not impossible, but uncommon to say the least. But we've seen weird things before, like a Lieutenant as XO, whose orders Captains would have to obey. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 16:10, 4 November 2007 (CST)

ARG! Fisk wears some weird rank pin that's a silver hollow diamond inside the main diamond (see him launching the Vipers at 37:00, or talking to Laird around 55:30). For what it's worth, he's always wearing the red/white colonel's uniform though. --Serenity 16:45, 4 November 2007 (CST)

Timeline

Source for "Day 7"? I went through the Pegasus flashbacks in "Razor" and the only time statement I noticed was that it had been two days since the attack when the Raptors were sent back to the Colonies. -- Noneofyourbusiness 02:01, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
