	:Hi, Avidicus. I remember hearing of the magazine's cancellation. I don't know why it would be. However, I have some guesses. The first one is that, unlike shows like ''Stargate'', ''Battlestar'' isn't a show that plays as much as a SF show than a drama. As a result, I suspect that the usual SF fans that buy the official magazines for other shows just aren't there in numbers. Also, the show is a mystery and little extra technical and pseudo-technical stuff is poured out. So there's not a lot more to talk about other than the characters without giving things away in the overall plot. --[[User:Spencerian\|Spencerian]] 06:41, 26 October 2006 (CDT)		:Hi, Avidicus.

			== Want to pass info to someone that can update a wiki page ==

			I'm not a techie person so won't even try to edit a page, but I wanted to pass along some information to someone that could update the reference section on the Karl Agathon page.

			While reading the eBay auction description for Helo's dog tags, I figured out why he has the third serial number of 384162. This serial number, which was given to QMX for his replica tags, was not an accident. It came off of his original miniseries tags, when he was an expendable character in the miniseries and had yet to be named Karl Agathon.

			Quote from eBay site: "Tag says J. Helo and serial number 384162"

			Here's the link to the eBay site if you want to verify: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=180336718980

	All the way back in [[Home, Part II]] several major characters finally figured out roughly where in space [[Earth]] was.		All the way back in [[Home, Part II]] several major characters finally figured out roughly where in space [[Earth (RDM)\|Earth]] was.

	So, is [[The Fleet (RDM)\|The Fleet]] headed for Earth or not? Why doesn't Adama just start jumping away in the general direction of Earth? Not a straight line, of course, and slowly enough not to risk damaging FTL drives. But it seems so obvious that getting away from the Cylons should be a top priority. Yet episode after episode goes by without any word, even in passing, that The Fleet is headed towards Earth or anywhere else in particular. Why is that? It might be neat if the route to Earth took The Fleet back the way they came...		So, is [[The Fleet (RDM)\|The Fleet]] headed for Earth or not?
