== Rework Notes into new wiki page? ==
'''''"The retaliatory nature of sentient machines against humanity is a popular theme in science fiction."'''''
: What about putting this in [[Comparisons to other media]]? The SF listed in the notes would be a start. It would also be more general than just about Cylons. For Example, the lost in space theme of Battlestar Galactica has been seen in tv before, examples are "Lost In Space" and "Star Trek: Voyager".  --[[User:Chet|Chet]] 09:31, 7 June 2007 (CDT)
::Just about everything seen on TV has been there before in one shape or another. After the 70s there aren't that many themes in science fiction that have't been pioneered already. Ideas are a dime a dozen anyways. It's the execution that counts. I don't think it's very worthwhile to note what has done before already, but allegedly served as a direct inspiration. [[Themes in Battlestar Galactica (RDM)]] approaches this in a better way, by listing recurring motifs without pointing at other fiction. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 09:36, 7 June 2007 (CDT)
:::I think I've been misunderstood, I do not wish to imply direct inspiration. I do believe that a comparison to an other work is worthwhile, it is with these comparisons that the differences in execution can be shown. With that in mind I will alter my suggestion: What about moving the notes to [[Themes in Battlestar Galactica (RDM)]] and/or [[Themes of Battlestar Galactica (TOS)]]? --[[User:Chet|Chet]] 20:57, 7 June 2007 (CDT)
== Tense ==
I believe current policy is that events before the miniseries are written in past tense, and events during the series are written in present tense. Anyone else have thoughts? --[[User:April Arcus|April Arcus]] 00:43, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
