Standardization

This article seems to mix biography and character information, which isn't what we want to do, nor does it note the character bio source. Also, the photo should be of the character, not the actor (that's for the bio page). Anyone care to repair this? --Spencerian 14:38, 11 October 2006 (CDT)

Working on it. --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 14:41, 11 October 2006 (CDT)

Bulldog's name

Bulldog's name is Daniel, not Eugene. I changed the content, but can't change the title - could someone do it for me, please? Thx in advance. -- Spike 09:45, 11 November 2006 (CST)

On a related subject, users can also request move permission at BW:MOVE. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 00:19, 12 November 2006 (CST)

And so I did. -- Spike 00:25, 12 November 2006 (CST)

Damn, now I'm not sure anymore. In "Hero" everybody calls him "Daniel" or "Danny", on SciFi Channel site it's Daniel as well. On the other hand, all promo pictures say "Eugene" and there's also one particular scene in "Hero" with this name - look at the Doc Cottle's monitor when he checks Bulldog's DNA signature... -- Spike 08:07, 19 November 2006 (CST)

I saw that scene as well. Perhaps Daniel is his middle name, which he prefers to use. But that might just be fanwankery to excuse a production gaffe. --Peter Farago 14:52, 19 November 2006 (CST)

It could just be that they changed their minds about the name during production but forgot to change the monitor. Sorta like the Paul/Saul Tigh thing. --Talos 16:23, 19 November 2006 (CST)

Novacek

Novacek is eastern european name and means "New Man", "Beginner" or "Freshman". Slightly different version of this name "Novak" is most common name in here (Czech Republic). If somebody cares...--Deus 17:23, 19 November 2006 (CST)

Interesting. That doesn't seem like it fits a veteran and a POW very well. Maybe he's been reborn after being held by the Cylons. He is sort of birthed out of the Raider, in a way. Too much of a stretch? --Drumstick 22:24, 19 November 2006 (CST)

Next Act

Does anyone know if Novacek is going to stay with Galactica and resume flying. Even though he hates Adama, he's allegedly a very good pilot, and I would imagine the fleet needs the help. Anyone know where he went next?

Picture

We could use a better picture of the Bulldog... preferably one out of the cage. :) -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 22:52, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
