| But the ''Official Season 3 Companion'' gives his name as Micah. Doesn't that count for something? --[[User:Mars|Mars]] 13:45, 5 December 2007 (CST) | | But the ''Official Season 3 Companion'' gives his name as Micah.

| : Yeah, it does. We now have a contradiction from visual evidence (on screen) and from an official reference book. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki — ''New'']</sup> 13:50, 5 December 2007 (CST)

| ::: Right. But it's definitely worth noting... The question now remains, where did Bassom get the info on "Micah"? Was it from an early version of the script? (Remember the whole "Paul" vs. "Saul" business for Tigh's first name?) -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki — ''New'']</sup> 16:16, 5 December 2007 (CST)

| ::::Like I first pointed out, the closed-caption gives his name as Micah, which correlates to the pronunciation I hear when his first name is spoken. I think the visual has less merit here and am willing to gamble that "Michael" maybe a prop bollixing. Recall the Armistice papers from the miniseries that use "Centuri'''a'''n" and "yahern". --[[User:Mars|Mars]] 09:04, 8 December 2007 (CST)

| :::::Centurian has actually been used onscreen during Galactica 1980 as well (I'll hold off on the DVD release to post screencaps), so that one can be argued. Yahern, though, is obviously a typo. I don't see why Mike can't also be short for Micah (any name that can be abbreviated often will). If they say, "Micah" (I'm not arguing that they do) AND that's corroborated by the official material, I'd say that the on-screen evidence that is backed up (by both the subtitles and the book) is stronger than a single onscreen prop. Basically, if Micah was a mistake, they did it three times (which seems to go beyond coincidence), whereas Michael only has the written reference and an assumption about the abbreviated form of the name. I don't know how far we want to go to prove that they said Micah vs. Michael though, with regards to audio analysis and sound graphs, etc. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 10:36, 8 December 2007 (CST)
