Isaac32767: New section: What's the plan?

I'm surprised there hasn't been an article on this. They have [[w:Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)#Main title|something of the sort]] along [[w:Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)]], but I'm sure we could do way better.

:I don't really see the point. What more could be done that a point by point summary of the image sequence? --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 09:22, 24 August 2007 (CDT)
:Bleh. I have to say I really don't see the point either. I suppose we can make mention of the title sequences in the appropriate season pages, but an article on it is just a bit overdoing it, I think. -- [[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> 10:04, 24 August 2007 (CDT)
::Yeah, it might be overanalzying things a bit, but a few things could be consolidated. We've already noted that use of episode titles at the start of a few season 1 episodes, a practice that stopped fairly fast, but that's noted only in [[33]]. The brief appearance of USS ''Enterprise'' in the season 1 opening credits is covered in [[The Fleet (RDM)]]. The [[survivor count]] has its own article. The ''lack'' of survivor counts (in the first S3 episodes) should have been noted in the episode guide for [[Collaborators]], but isn't. Perhaps I can make this into a super-disambiguation like [[Battlestar]] is, and point to the specific articles and flesh out this stuff per separate article. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 10:52, 24 August 2007 (CDT)
:::I like that idea. I say go for it. ;-) -- [[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> 10:58, 24 August 2007 (CDT)
::::Actually, it turned out I could make an article of it. It's linked like crazy, but that's how it should be, I think. Better than a disambig. I tossed in TOS credits as well, and Galactica 1980 could go in, too. Others might remember more of the credit sequence to flesh it out more. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 11:25, 24 August 2007 (CDT)
:::::Looks good. Now we just need to find some articles to link this --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 11:42, 24 August 2007 (CDT)

:Contrary to what I thought this turned into an interesting article. There are quite a few permanent and one-off changes throughout the run off the show, like the changes to the text displayed, the survivor count, the logo change, etc. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 04:09, 25 August 2007 (CDT)

== Rapid flashes ==

On my DVDs (the only source of BSG I have) I get a series of rapid flashes of the forthcoming episode after the Survivor Count. Is this the same on TV? [[User:OTW|OTW]] 13:17, 24 August 2007 (CDT)
:Yes, it's part of all episodes, except for early Season 2 up to "The Farm" I believe. I'll note it --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 13:19, 24 August 2007 (CDT)

== What's the plan? ==

The "and they have a plan" thing has been driving me crazy. What's the plan already?--[[User:Isaac32767|Isaac32767]] 17:09, 30 January 2008 (CST)
