:Thanks to Shane, April Arcus, Spencerian, and Noneofyourbusiness for editing my additions.  This is my first time at adding major content to an episode page outside of the The Resistance Webisodes page so I was just letting it flow without worrying about format.  Though, I am particularly happy that you all left my use of the terms "skinjobs" and "chromejobs".  I felt that this was appropriate from the point of view of the characters involved.  -- [[User:Straycat0|Straycat0]] 21:31, 04 October 2006 (AST)

::: I think that the reason is they tell the story from a point of view of the characters not from a God-view (or gods-view in their case) of the overall story - meaning, somebody was keeping track of the population count and they just put that info up front for us.  And the person who kept track of the population count was always Roslin.  Remember, Roslin always kept the population count up on that wallspace and when Baltar became president he replaced it with his own portrait.  Now, with the population split up and Roslin no longer in a place of central control, there's nobody keepin a hard track on the population count so that info isn't available to us because that info isn't available to the characters.  That's my take.--[[User:Straycat0|Straycat0]] 18:16, 9 October 2006 (CDT)

::::::There were a total of four people killed on Kobol (Karma, Tarn, Socinus, and Crashdown). The survivors are recovered at the end of "Fragged", but the count in "Resistance" is only decremented by one — presumably Crashdown, who did in fact die in the previous episode. This, along with a single-person decrement between "Scattered" and "Valley of Darkness" in which nobody died except Tarn (who was on Kobol) suggests that the survivor count was omniscient.

== still missed in the summary ==


Thanks to the people on the english side, our summaries of Occupation and Precipice were probably the first ones, which were released in the internet in german language :o) But there are some things still missing in this both episodes: the diary of Roslin, the discussions between the both Adamas and with Dualla (weak Apollo with fat ash, find somebody who can, Pegasus will not participate), the discussion between Admiral Adama and Sharon Agathon (centurions cannot differenciate the copies), and the discussion of the Cylons at Colonial One (decreasing humankind, the opposition of Galactica-Sharon and Caprica-Six,, WE!! agree), Galactica-Sharons discussions with several humans and the shooting of Caprica-Six. It would be helpful, if the native english speakers could add this to the summaries and point out the real important informations, which were given. Thank you. -- [[User:Tirkon|Tirkon]] 16:13, 10 October 2006 (CDT)

== Show Caps ==
I got some relevent screencaps here: [[:md:User:Shane/gallery#Tue_Oct_10_19:26:58_EDT_2006|User:Shane/gallery#Tue Oct 10 19:26:58 EDT 2006]] --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 18:13, 10 October 2006 (CDT)
== Guest stars ==
Has anyone verified all the guest stars listed? I know many of these people were credited at the beginning of Occupation but this was only because Occupation and Precipice were combined into one super-episode. I don't think Rick Worthy (Simon) and Larissa Stadnichuk appeared in Occupation. They only appeared in Precipice. -- [[User:123home123|123home123]] 18:28, 12 October 2006 (EDT)

Donnelly Rhodes and Erica Cerra are credited, but Cottle and Maya are absent from ''both'' episodes. Anyone have an idea as to which episode(s) they were supposed to be in? --[[User:Mars|Mars]] 22:30, 1 January 2007 (CST)
:It probably means that they shot scenes that were cut --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 05:44, 2 January 2007 (CST)
== Leave the questions posed in the article! ==
We really should be following the format from the previous episode reviews on the site.  Whenever a question was posed and an eventual answer is discovered, the editors in those articles didn't delete the question, they actually added pointers from the question to the Analysis section or notes.  Someone else who will read these articles might ask the same questions and may have overlooked the "answers" as there are usually a lot of show notes and analysis.  Please do us the courtesy of simply linking or pointing, instead of just off-handly deleting questions.  This is a very strange article that it has NO questions at all.  --[[User:LifeStar|LifeStar]] 09:36, 13 October 2006 (CDT)
:But this isn't just about questions in one episode answered further down the line. The answer to Anders's sickness is something that can be deduced from this episode alone. I don't see why it warrants so many bulletpoints. One point speculating that he might have gotten medicine from the Cylons is enough IMO (that might belong to Analysis then tho). The full hospital might not have been built yet, but why should that prevent the Cylons from distributing medicine by other means? --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 09:53, 13 October 2006 (CDT)
::Concur. I'm not advocating the squelching of opinions, just that we should hash out the ideas out here on the talk, and then post what the consensus is. It's better for the article to read like there's a single voice, not like a message board. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 10:11, 13 October 2006 (CDT)
:::Good point about the message board feeling. I already had the impression that those points read like a discussion on a forum, with a clear back and forth. Moreover some have a clear POV, with words such as "granted" and "I think". I removed those. Speculation has a place but it needs to be written from a neutral point of view --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 10:17, 13 October 2006 (CDT)
God, no. Once a question has been answered conclusively it's been our tradition to move the material to analysis. I'm sorry if I was overzealous in my attempts to clean this page up, but this kind of four-level back-and-forthing is unacceptable. --[[User:April Arcus|April Arcus]] 11:48, 13 October 2006 (CDT)
== How do we know that the two Cavils were really killed? ==
I posed the question of whether the two Cavils we've seen are the same ones fro Laying Down Your Burdens.  This question was posed in the question section of that episode, and it was clear that no one had a clear answer.  Roslin made the statement of throwing those two out of the airlock were off-handingly.  It wasn't clear whether they lived or not.  The reason I brought it up in this article is because it is very odd that we've only seen two Cavils amongst the leadership of the Cylons right now.  We've seen a # of 5s, 6s, 8s, and 3s, 1 Simon, and 2 Cavils.  It could be just luck of the draw, but I still believe the question is valid.  If those two were the original ones we saw, considering that both of them are dressed in their priestly robes, some of the animosity towards humans from being locked up might be contributing to their harsh hands.  --[[User:LifeStar|LifeStar]] 09:36, 13 October 2006 (CDT)
:In a deleted scene for Lay Down Your Burdens Part II, Tyrol says to Cally that they threw the two Cavils out an airlock to night before. --[[User:Talos|Talos]] 10:10, 13 October 2006 (CDT)
::Good catch. In that case you should probably add it and remove the rest of the speculation since the deleted scene makes it pointless. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 10:15, 13 October 2006 (CDT)
::It then seems very strange to me that the two Cavils are both dressed as priests.  In every other model of the Cylons that we've seen, their dress indicates what kind of function they perform.  It is also the way the show indicates to us which Cylon is which.  The Caprica-Six and Boomer are dressed in unique clothing in comparison to the other versions of them.  Even Baltar's six is usually dressed in red to seperate her from the other Six's we've seen on the show.  It is interesting that the scene was deleted, maybe it was for time, but then it's even stranger that the two Cavils (if they are new versions), are dressed like their counterparts.--[[User:LifeStar|LifeStar]] 10:16, 13 October 2006 (CDT)
:::I really don't think there's any room for speculation here. My impulse is still to delete the entire thing - does anyone besides LifeStar find this a fruitful line of inquiry? --[[User:April Arcus|April Arcus]] 12:30, 13 October 2006 (CDT)
::::Not really. --[[User:Talos|Talos]] 12:54, 13 October 2006 (CDT)
:::Asking why the models are dressed the same might be of interest, but I find it extremely implausible, that the Colonials kept the Cavils alive on New Caprica until the Cylons arrived. It makes the most sense to assume they were killed --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 13:50, 13 October 2006 (CDT)
== Now this is what I'm talking about ==
After reading the further edits and info posted in the article and discussion, it feels like we're gettint to the meat of the episode finally.  I may be wrong about the Cavils, esp. the idea of them being kept on New Caprica does seem implausible, but it was good to flesh those ideas out.  For Anders, he may have been given medicine by the Cylons, just n ot sure.  Either case, I hope that we'll let the questions remain, and point out the answers, when we discover them, in the analysis section.  More people who read these articles may ask the same questions and would like to know that there is a provided answer.--[[User:LifeStar|LifeStar]] 10:24, 13 October 2006 (CDT)
== Suicide Bombing ==
I don't know if this has been brought up in other episode discussions, but as foreign and repulsive as suicide bomgings are made to appear to the humans and cylons, this was not the first time since a Doral (#5) already committed this act. My hypothesis is that the Cylons have had intermittent communications with the Colonial Fleet, (#3) video. (which just made me wonder, future episode fodder...how did the undercover #3 get exposed?) Depending on whether he wanted to be resurrected/reincarnated with the bombing memories there may be a #5 with the bomber memories (future episode fodder - develop #5's character) [[User:Luis F. Gonzalez|Luis F. Gonzalez]] 16:11, 28 October 2006 (CDT)
== answer to Helo/Kat rank question ==
Sorry, but stating that Helo is still wearing "Lieutenant, s.g." insignia - or his old ones if you want to argue that we don't really know their meaning (which we do though) - is not speculation. They are clearly visible in several scenes. It's fact. For Kat we don't know.<br>
So maybe the answer wasn't written in the preferred format (link to future episode article), but it does exist --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 03:19, 30 October 2006 (CST)
== HD Screencaps ==
So far the only screencap thats been used for this episode, or precipice was 'hope.jpg' which i've already updated by uploading the HR HDTV (960x528) version. It's a lot clearer than the iTunes one. However, there are no other caps to change so far - i think these articles would look a lot better with a few more caps, especially Precipice. I've got the HR HDTV version of this two parter, and i'll have the full 720p in a week or so, so if you lot can make up a list of caps you want - please let me know on my talk page. In the meantime, i'll see if there are any caps from these two eps that haven't been used yet and upgrade them - that okay? :) --[[User:Fordsierra4x4|Fordsierra4x4]] 13:12, 13 January 2007 (CST)
:I've already updated/added 3 crops on different articles with their HD counterparts provided by a poster at Skiffy. I'll try to find more caps, but that's all for now.--[[User:Sauron18|Sauron18]] 16:43, 13 January 2007 (CST)
