| :A bit maybe, but I think it's still manageable. There are longer pages, and this article is difficult to split up. Splitting by seasons is not possible, and going by sections wouldn't work well either. -- [[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 23:06, 5 April 2008 (UTC) | | :A bit maybe, but I think it's still manageable.

| == Faulty Logic for a Logic Error? ==

| From the Logic Error section:
| |
|
| |
| <BLOCKQUOTE>In "Crossroads, Part II", it is inferred that Samuel Anders only began his training, as he is being shown avionics and other key systems in a Raptor by Lieutenant [[Margaret Edmondson]]. In this episode, he tells [[Kara Thrace]] that he concluded basic training and began [[ACM]], and is capable of flying the Viper.</BLOCKQUOTE>

| This isn't necessarily true. Just because Anders is only conducting initial training on a Raptor doesn't mean that he can't be trained already in a Viper. For example, the fleet's training methods may be that a pilot has to complete basic training on one ship design before learning another. Alternatively, especially given the fact that the Fleet has a finite amount of pilots, the fleet could be using the Viper as a basic trainer, ensuring that the new pilots are grounded in basic flight manuvers and Colonial insturmentation, before adding in the extra variables found in an electronic warfare platform such as the Raptor. --[[User:Kant Lavar|Kant Lavar]] 10:45, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

| : Well... logistically speaking, the problem with Anders sudden flight ability stem from these facts:
| |
|
| |
| :# In "[[The Son Also Rises]]", which takes place [[Timeline_-_Season_3_%28RDM%29#The_Son_Also_Rises|at least two weeks]] after Thrace's death in "[[Maelstrom]]", Anders breaks his leg. Now, in "[[He That Believeth In Me]]", he claims that Thrace has been gone for two months; so his leg was fully healed in 6 or 7 weeks, which seems a bit excessive, unless it was a fracture and not a clean break.
| |
| :# By the end of that same episode, when he speaks to [[Lee Adama]], several days appear to have passed. (From the death of [[Alan Hughes]], to the various attempts on [[Romo Lampkin]]'s life, etc.) There are no indications in that one week (if we're to be conservative about it) that he signed up to be trained as a Viper jock.
| |
| :# The fact that Anders's leg is broken would impede any practical training in a Viper. For instance, he wouldn't be able to use thruster or braking pedals, particularly since they are pivotal basic controls on a Viper. (In "[[The Hand of God (RDM)|The Hand of God]]", [[Kara Thrace]]'s damaged knee effectively grounded her, since Commander [[William Adama|Adama]] points out that she wouldn't be able to operate the thruster pedal in her condition.)

|
| |
| : Also there are indications that the timeline was fudged to an absurd level, as pointed out [[Timeline - Season 3 (RDM)|here]], with the whole "two month" item I noted earlier. So there is a large error here, and it is painfully apparent that they had to fit Anders in a Viper in order to stop the Cylon attack at the nebula. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]]</sup> 23:03, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
