"Woman King" is the title of a song and E.P. album by Iron & Wine. Maybe someone on the writing staff is a fan? --[[User:Xenophon10k|Xenophon10k]] 06:37, 9 October 2006 (CDT) | "Woman King" is the title of a song and E.P. album by Iron & Wine.

: Sounds to me like a play on The Pirate King. All these silly Hollywood types love Gilbert and Sullivan. I have no idea what the relevance would be, though. --[[User:Galactageek|Galactageek]] 00:58, 12 February 2007 (CST) | : Sounds to me like a play on The Pirate King.

:::::::::: OTPs don't have to be same-sex. Someone could designate Starbuck/Anders as their OTP. There's also no such thing as an official OTP, since it's purely a fandom thing. Rule 34, however, states that there ''has'' to be Cottle/Anders slashfic out there. I don't want to see it, but it's out there. --[[User:Slander|Slander]] 08:43, 9 February 2007 (CST) | :::::::::: OTPs don't have to be same-sex. Someone could designate Starbuck/Anders as their OTP.

::I am a little hesitant to make changes because I'm a new user and, until now, I've only corrected typos. Someone else did more work than me when they wrote up that summary, so I didn't want to start editing too freely. Just a little cautious on my side, I suppose. Take my love, take my land...saw Objects in Space on the old DVR (in HD) this week. Possibly my favorite episode of Firefly. But that's a discussion for another board. --[[User:Murph|Murph]] 11:44, 12 February 2007 (CST) | ::I am a little hesitant to make changes because I'm a new user and, until now, I've only corrected typos.

::A character said it; that doesn't make it the right choice of words. Like real people, the characters on the show sometimes say one word when their intent was to say another.

:::I completely agree with Joe. If coming from a different county/continent is how we define a "race" then I would certainly think coming from a different planet/colony is. We're all humans, no matter what your ethnic origin or skin color is. Same goes on Galactica. They're all humans, but there are 13 different colonies...and given the distinction that's been shown on the show before, it's analogous to different countries.--[[User:RUSnooky|RUSnooky]] 16:05, 12 February 2007 (CST) | :::I completely agree with Joe.

::::Based on the work we've done at [[Race and Ethnicity in the Twelve Colonies]], it's quite obvious that nobody in the fictional ''Galactica'' universe is remotely interested in skin color as a means of classifying groups of people. The means by which the Colonials place themselves into representative groups is overwhelmingly based on colony of origin. This has been pointed out many times throughout the series: Sagittarons (Bastille Day, The Woman King) and Gemenons (The Captain's Hand) are obvious; Adama dismisses the Taurons as "always acting up" (Hero), and Caprica seems to be in a continual position of prestige. The Quorum of Twelve, the highest legislative body in the colonial government, is also organized based on tribal affiliation. With all this in mind - the irrelevance of skin color and the overriding importance of colony of origin - it makes perfect sense that issues of race should be transferred over to issues of nationality, and the corresponding vocabulary with them. --[[User: | ::::Based on the work we've done at [[Race and Ethnicity in the Twelve Colonies]], it's quite obvious that nobody in the fictional ''Galactica'' universe is remotely interested in skin color as a means of classifying groups of people.
