There are currently at least two licensed productions putting forth content set in the RDM universe - the [[List of Books#Re-imagined_Battlestar_Galactica_novels|Tor Books]] series, and the [[List of Comics#Dynamite|Dynamite]] comics series. How much input does the BSG writing staff have on these works? Can we expect to see them referred to in the series at any point, or should they be considered non-canon? --[[User: | There are currently at least two licensed productions putting forth content set in the RDM universe - the [[List of Books#Re-imagined_Battlestar_Galactica_novels|Tor Books]] series, and the [[List of Comics#Dynamite|Dynamite]] comics series.

:The comics group runs their proposed stories by some of the series writing staff to make sure they are not stepping on the toes of upcoming episodes. Apart from that, the series writers currently have no input to the comic or novel tie-ins.

::Great. :) I know a few times that [[Laura Roslin]] traveled in a Raptor (i.e. [[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]]) after she was under arrest, but that was about the only time I can remember.

::::This intance it might have been a fluke, but then "One" would have no meaning if other times Raptor One would be used in missions. "One" and "Two" is only (in U.S. Protocall) when a member of the President or Vice-President is on board. This would be a [[canon]] mistake.

Is the Cylon Raider known as "[[Scar (Raider)|Scar]]" supposed to be the reincarnated version of the Cylon Raider that Starbuck shot down, and then cut the brain out of and flew back to ''Galactica'' in "[[You Can't Go Home Again]]"?

The "previously on Battlestar Galactica" segment reshowed parts of "You Can't Go Home Again" and this coupled with Caprica-Sharon's comments in her cell to Starbuck seemed to hint that it was. --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] <sup>([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])</sup> 23:22, 14 June 2006 (CDT) | ||

Was the Resurrection room seen in "Downloaded" inside the Resurrection Ship, a basestar, or their homeworld? There's been some debate as to whether the Resurrection Ship solely sent it to a Basestar to download into a body, or whether the room itself is supposed to be in the Resurrection Ship. Another option is that the room was located in their homeworld if this was close enough to the colonies. I thought it was meant to be inside the Resurrection Ship, but all options are viable. --[[User:Sauron18|Sauron18]] 23:20, 17 June 2006 (CDT) | Was the Resurrection room seen in "Downloaded" inside the Resurrection Ship, a basestar, or their homeworld?

:::Knowing the location of the room tells us, indirectly, a lot about the Resurrection Ship, the homeworld, and the downloading range. For example, if the answer is "It's in the Resurrectio Ship", then it would mean the colonies are outside of downloading range, that the resurrection ship was already built, and an intimation of the internal architecture of Cylon Vessels. --[[User:Sauron18|Sauron18]] 00:40, 17 June 2006 (CDT) | :::Knowing the location of the room tells us, indirectly, a lot about the Resurrection Ship, the homeworld, and the downloading range.
