Pint: "Heavy?"

==Secretary/Minister==
Wow, that was confused of me. Sorry. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 22:04, 15 October 2005 (EDT)

:It's funny when you finally make a slip, Peter :) --[[User:Watcher|Watcher]] 22:12, 15 October 2005 (EDT)

==Image Change==

Okay, I changed the ''Colonial One'' image because I think the png is higher quality, it's not a scan, it doesn't have ragged edges, and there's no moire pattern. However, the thumb of the image I added looks completely odd. I thought I'd add transparency to the image as added functionality, but the thumb is strange, if we could change the frame background to black things would improve. This still doesn't fix the fact that the thumb appears to be grayscale while the original is 24-bit colour. Any help? My specialty is graphics programs, not HTML or coding.

I'm ready to change the image format to jpg or gif, but I'd rather give the user community the benefit of the editing I did in png. --[[User:MASON|MASON]] 01:11:46, 2005-10-24 (EDT)

== Presidential Seal ==

I just added a screenshot from "[[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I]]" showing the Presidential seal on the starboard side of the ship in clear veiw, yet in "[[Resurrection Ship, Part I]]" in the opening of Act I after the intro there's a close-up fly-by of the starboard side of ''Colonial One'' where the camera zooms in on Roslin's office and yet in the shot the seal is gone.

Is this a new shot made specifically for "Resurrection Ship"? If so, where did the seal go? Was it removed when Adama deposed Roslin and just never put back on again? -- [[User:Kahran|Kahran]] 21:46, 8 January 2006 (EST)

:IIRC in RDM's podcast he mentioned it's a reused clip from the Miniseries (prior to the seal being added). --[[User:Redwall|Redwall]] 22:49, 8 January 2006 (EST)

== "Heavy?" ==

Generally "Heavy," when used in reference to an aircraft in the real world, means the ship is carrying cargo or passengers and wouldn't be part of the true name. Therefore Colonial One's original name would simply have been "Colonial 798." This is made even more clear when you consider where the transport's name is first heard: a radio transmission between its pilot and (I believe) Galactica, which is exactly the time when such jargon would be used.
