Need some "Old-School" BSG Content
Both this page and the Galactica (TOS) articles are really lacking in content in comparison to the shiny articles of the RDM pages. This may be a challenge in diving through old episode guides and watching TOS episodes, but is there anyone ready to take to the challenge of giving the old girl some new depth with content? This goes for the TOS episodes as well, including formatting character pages to convention, and even battle information like the Fall of the Twelve Colonies battle summaries.

Call me crazy (OK, Mikey. You're crazy), but was there ever a canonical reference in the original series to Galactica or any of her fleet being able to travel FTL? Because I'm pretty sure there wasn't, and always counted it as one of several flaws that could be chalked up to typical 70s Space Opera logic...--Uncle Mikey 19:00, 23 February 2006 (EST)
- I haven't seen EVERY episode yet... but I can't think of any reference to FTL. The only speed reference I can think of is when Starbuck is testing the Recon Viper in The Long Patrol. Even then I'm not sure if it was expressed in any concrete terms, or if it was a relative speed. --Steelviper 19:41, 23 February 2006 (EST)
- I recall a scene in Experiment in Terra when the Galactica broke away from the Fleet and headed toward Terra "at lightspeed". Though it's been a while since I watched the episode. -- Joe Beaudoin 21:02, 23 February 2006 (EST)
- Joe's recollection is most likely. My understanding was that only Galactica had lightspeed ability; normally she went as slow as the slowest ship in the Fleet. --Spencerian 21:24, 23 February 2006 (EST)
- At least if gives us a good specific target. If I end up in that episode I'll try to make note of it. --Steelviper 21:28, 23 February 2006 (EST)
