| ==Doc Cottle has a pottymouth==
| |
| When Cottle's doing his scan of Baltar, and Six makes him move the first time, Cottle says, quite clearly, "Oh, fuck." --[[User:BklynBruzer|BklynBruzer]] 18:53, 22 September 2006 (CDT)
| |
| :No, he says "Oh, fo...." like in "Oh for gods' sake", but he stops pretty much right after the "f" making it sounds like a very quiet "fuck" --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 07:33, 23 September 2006 (CDT)
| |
| ::I listened to it 5 times on headphones, clearly hearing the "ck" at the end. I'm 100% sure he said fuck. --[[User:BklynBruzer|BklynBruzer]] 10:33, 23 September 2006 (CDT)
| |
| :::I never once thought he said fuck until i read this. I still think he just paused before finishing rather than actually swearing --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 03:18, 4 October 2006 (CDT)

| ::::Of course he didn't say "oh, fuck". Not only would the actor and director have picked upon that during the shoot, but it wouldn't even make sense in the context. He clearly cut off from saying something like "Oh, for fraks sake". Debate closed. (jxh487)
| |
| :::::Could you try being politer? This is a genuine debate and you are not the end-all be-all of Galactica lines. --[[User:BklynBruzer|BklynBruzer]] 18:42, 5 October 2006 (CDT)

| ::::::No, you're right. I'm not, infact I made a mistake (supposedly) about the ...erm... "boomer" said what??? debate over at the websode talk page. I swear he says "Laura told me" (jxh487)
| |
| :::FWIW, the phoneme /k/ is realized as voiceless, un-aspirated [k] in word-final position, as is the phoneme /g/ in word-initial position. Thus, it would be trivial to confuse "fuck" and "for g-" - the only phonetic difference is in the vowel. --[[User:April Arcus|April Arcus]] 20:25, 5 October 2006 (CDT)

| == Using a Compass? ==
| |
|
| |
| During the teaser, we see them using a compass while looking for the Tomb of Athena. How can they be sure that, being on a foreign planet with unknown magnetic properties, that the compass will work the way they need it to? -- {{unsigned|Ctetc2007}}
| |
| : It's a conceit. Or the implication is that Kobol also has a magnetic north and a magnetic south, which could be possible as well. We don't know either way. -- [[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> 19:33, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

| : Without a clear map, a compass is of little help. Even on an alien world, however, it could be used to help maintain a constant bearing, which can prevent getting lost in a forest and help you find your way back to the ship. [[User:Dogger55|Dogger55]] 08:35, 30 June 2011 (EDT)

| |
| :: There is that as well. (Assuming no other major magnetic fields are present.) Then again, compasses do work in British Columbia, so they must work on every planet that looks like it... ;-) -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 09:39, 30 June 2011 (EDT)
