Battlestar Wiki talk:Podcast Transcripts

Laineylain: /* Catching up */

I get back from university next week, and I plan on taping the marathon on December 20th and listening to ALL of the commentaries as I watch again (except, of course, "Fragged", frak it, as well as the first two episodes which I'll catch during the other rerun before the premiere). I assure you I'm quite obsessive and I'm going to get the entire thing (like many of you, I've already listened to them once to glean information, i.e. how I found out what some of the deleteed scenes for "Pegasus" were, but I'll go through them again; well, I'll watch the shows normally, THEN watch a second time for the podcast; this is what I do in my free time if I'm on vacation; just watch this show all the time. Anyway, I'll get in everything we need to know. Plus I'm iffy on whether this is fair use or not (on the one hand it's free on the site, on the other hand, TANSTAAFL, advertisers on Scifi.com pay to make ads we have to see to look at it, but then again maybe they don't care at Scifi because it makes word of mouth about the show. Hey, if they wanted us to stop they could just tell us not to. Regardless, I'll get it all in next week. May I ''once again'' bring to attention that I '''strongly''' object to the phrase "Citation Jihad", and would prefer the less objectionable term, "Citation Crusade". --[[User:Ricimer|Ricimer]] 20:36, 14 December 2005 (EST)

:This sort of thing actually has very little to do with legality. Do I personally believe that typing up transcripts of freely available podcasts to aid in searching for citations constitues a copyright violation? No. Would my beliefs hold sway in a court of law if Universal wished to vigorously prosecute me? Probably not. Do I even have the resources to defend myself in such a case? No.
:So in the end, Universal essentially gets to decide whether it's a copyright violation or not. That decision has very little to do with the letter of the law, and a lot to do with the comparative depth of our pockets. Essentially, if the copyright holders decide they don't like this, then there's nothing we can do to stop them from asking us to take it down, in which case we will do so graciously. Until then, it seems fairly harmless to continue. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 21:01, 14 December 2005 (EST)

:Of course, Joe has ultimate jurisdiction over the wiki and any projects we decide to host. If he is uncomfortable with this for any reason, I will gladly take it off-site. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 21:07, 14 December 2005 (EST)

I just thought I'd point [http://members.tripod.com/john_larocque/tns/archive.html this] site out. It has episode summaries that have podcast commentary transcribed below them. Unfortunately, the comments are broken off into paragraphs, and don't appear to be organized into acts like you guys are. May be useful as a double-check, though, if nothing else. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 13:27, 27 December 2005 (EST)

== Transcript Visibility ==
I was wondering if it might be a good idea to link to finished transcripts from the episode guide pages. If you don't know about this page it might be hard to stumble upon. Having easy access to both the podcasts themselves and the transcripts might be handy for somebody who is doing research, or catching up on older episodes. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 09:42, 3 February 2006 (EST)

== Catching up ==
It'd be awesome if during the gap between now and Season 3 we could manage to get "caught up" on the transcription backlog. That way, going forward there would only be one per week that we'd need to do, which would be a lot less overwhelming. Laineylain and Misco have made a lot of progress, but there are a LOT of episodes left to do. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 12:07, 12 March 2006 (CST)
:Any suggestions on priority order for working through the episodes? Chronological or reverse chronological? --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 10:51, 17 April 2006 (CDT)
::I guess I'd prefer reverse chronological, but I don't see that it matters much. It should really be whatever the transcriber is interested in (I don't think anyone's going to shed any tears if "Sacrifice" goes untranscribed for a while). --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 11:12, 17 April 2006 (CDT)
:::I've been doing the ones that interest me. I'm off for a trip to Vegas, but will get some LDYB2 transcription work done when I return next week. -- [[User:Laineylain|Laineylain]] 13:07, 17 April 2006 (CDT)

Battlestar Wiki:Podcast Transcripts

2006-04-08T22:34:52Z

Laineylain:

{{project|Podcast Transcripts}}

This project is meant to coordinate and standardize the transcription of Ronald D. Moore's freely available episode podcasts. Our goal is to produce a searchable text repository for purposes of citation. At this time, we will only be transcribing freely available podcasts from [http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/ SciFi.com], not additonal DVD commentaries. Ron D. Moore and David Eick have recorded commentary tracks for the [[Miniseries]] (also including director Michael Rymer), "[[33]]", "[[Bastille Day]]", "[[Act of Contrition]]", and "[[You Can't Go Home Again]]". However, they have not been put up online for free but are only available in the Season 1 DVD set. Therefore, transcripts of these are not provided here, though relevant quotes may be found sourced in certain articles on Battlestar Wiki.

This project is a daughter of the [[Battlestar Wiki:Citation Jihad|Citation Jihad]].

==Standards==

===Namespace===
Podcast transcripts should be named after the episode to which they correspond with the addition of the (podcast) namespace, for example, [[Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down (podcast)]].

===Structure===
Begin each podcast article with the template:
<nowiki>{{podcast|author=YourNameHere|emailAuthor2=|suffix=|additionalCopyright=}}</nowiki>

Use first-level headings to divide Teaser and Act breaks. Make each heading an offsite link to the appropriate podcast segment, e.g.

==[<nowiki>http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/mp3/109/bsg_ep109_1of5.mp3</nowiki> Teaser]==

Try to break up RDMs comments into paragraphs along topical lines.

===Transcription===
RDM frequently uses "uh", "um" and "y'know" as discourse particles. For readabilities sake, try to exclude these where they interrupt the flow of an otherwise grammatical sentence.

Where RDM interrupts himself, end the last word of the first statement with an emdash. You may include whatever discourse particles he uses to introduce the next thought. For example:

"I think it's a very good movie, one that I always thought was a— y'know, prime for us to do a riff on."

Generally, you may ignore emphasis except where RDM's tone is critical to the interpretation of a statement (e.g. sarcasm).

===Links===
Where RDM mentions a BSG episode or character, link to our own article. Where he mentions a television show or actor which we do not have (or need) our own article for, offer a link to the corresponding page on IMDB. If another resource such as Wikipedia or Memory Alpha has more comprehensive information, you may link there at your discretion. To avoid overlinking, only link once per act break.

===Corrections===
Except for simple spelling errors, do not offer a "correction" without first having listened to the relevant portion of the recording. Always leave a comment on the talk page explaining your change.

==Checkins==
When you begin work on a transcription, place your name beside the segment you are working on. When you've completed and uploaded it, mark your name next to "Transcribed". Afterwards, it would be helpful for a second user to verify the transcription.

Laineylain: /* LDYB 2, Act 3

{{podcast|author=Laineylain|emailAuthor2=|suffix=|additionalCopyright=and David Eick}}

==[http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/mp3/220/bsg_ep220_1of7.mp3 Teaser]==

RDM: Hello and welcome to the podcast for episode 20 of epi- of season two. I'm [[Ronald D. Moore]], executive producer and developer of [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|the new "Battlestar Galactica"]].

Eick: And I'm [[David Eick]], court jester.

RDM: And we're here to discuss the season finale. Yes, it's all come down to this, boys and girls. And we have a 90 minute special to go through and lots of ground to cover. This episode really deals with possibly every single plot thread we've established in the show and tries to deal with it in some fashion, which is in part the reason why this ultimately became a 90 minute episode.

Eick: We experienced this a number of times this year, as some of you may know. We broke a story that was intended to be the first episode of the second ten of season two called "[[Resurrection Ship]]", which after [[Michael Rymer]] got done with it, became "[[Resurrection Ship, Part I|Resurrection Ship, Parts 1]] and [[Resurrection Ship, Part II|2]]".

RDM: Almost three.

Eick: And even before that- yeah, almost three- and even before that, "[[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]" wanted to be a 90 minute and we were unable to move the various pieces that were required to make that happen and I think we were just able to get it under the wire as a one hour episode. But this one when it came in, we just knew. There was definitely a two hour version- well, there's definitely a 90 minute version, there might have been a two hour version, but there for sure was not a one hour version.

RDM: Yeah a one hour. 'Cause Rymer's cut- the one that Rymer gave to us was what, 20 something minutes long?

Eick: Yeah. In fact it was a different cut, but it was actually almost exactly this running length.

RDM: Oh, was it?

Eick: Yeah. It would have aired as a 90 minute episode and it was missing things that we missed and felt was needed, and had things in it that we didn't think were as necessary. But it was very clear- because he had been working on it, at that point, for weeks trying to get it down that far. And and so we were- it was nothing but shear panic and alarm at first because when you say to a network, "Well, we got a show that is supposed to air in a one hour slot and we need you to give us more time," the ripple effect of that is pretty cataclysmic. I mean they gotta go to their advertisers, their sales people, and their scheduling people, and it affects other shows and other programming, and so it was a big deal getting them to approve this and you know, thank goodness that they did.

RDM: And we briefly tried to make a two hour version of this which could have been easier for everybody 'cause then you could always carve it up into two discrete episodes. But the two hour by sort of universal agreement dragged. It didn't really have the pace. It just went on too long. And it's still- even then it was still a little short. It didn't quite actually make it to two hours. 
Eick: The other oddity about this structure- and I realized this on the dub stage yesterday- is that they open with the recap and then go right to the main title.

RDM: Yeah, it does.

Eick: Now, I don't know... Is there a commercial after the main title?

RDM: There's a commercial after the main title.

Eick: Oh so the audience doesn't even get any original material before they gotta go to commercial?

RDM: I don't think so, unless they- maybe they restructure it on air which you can tell us. But I believe we go from main title to first commercial break.

Eick: Oh. Well yeah. Please tell a friend not to change the channel during the uh...

RDM: Because I think that was dictated by the way acts had to be structured for 90 minutes, like teaser or whatever it was was so long that it was ridiculous to put the main title, you know, like 12 minutes in or 15 minutes into the show or something.

Eick: I'd also say, just to be totally candid, 'cause I know Ron has spoken and he certainly reflected my opinion as well about some of the episodes in the second half of season two that weren't favorites. And it was really encouraging getting into "[[Downloaded]]" and then to the first part of this episode and now this one, to really kind of get back to what I think excites both of us about the show and a lot of that has to do with the fact that we have Michael Rymer back directing of course.

RDM: Yeah.

Eick: But I'm really proud of this one in particular. This really kind of has, in its own way, all the pathos, all the emotional potency, and a lot of the danger and the darkness that I think make "Battlestar Galactica" a unique show. It's really- it took some doing to get it there, but I think this is definitely one of the better episodes.

RDM: Yeah, I'm very proud of the show. This is a- I like it because ultimately where it goes at the end. It's a risky show. It's pushing the boundaries of what the show is... What your preconceptions of the show should be. By the end of the episode, once we make the giant leap forward, you start feeling like "Oh my God, anything's possible. What are these maniacs doing?" They've really dynamited the entire Galactica universe and started over. That's a really refreshing, fun thing to do in a television series because typically, you're making the same show week in week out, to a large extent. You're not varying the format so much that you're really challenging people, by and large. I mean every sh- that's not an absolute rule. But it's great to be able to really be true to what the premise of the show is, and take it into these sort of different directions periodically.

Eick: Now where- this thing gets published on the internet before the show airs.

RDM: It goes out that day... the same day as the broadcast.

Eick: So are we gonna talk-

RDM: We can talk about- oh yeah, we spoil- I spoil the episode all the time. Anyone who listens to the podcast wants to be spoiled. They're gonna know the whole plot. We can talk about the-

Eick: Alright. We can talk about the fact that [[Tyrol]] ends up in a gay relationship with [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]]...

RDM: Secret, gay forbidden love with Tigh.

Eick: Brokeback Galactica.

RDM: Brokeback Galactica.

(Eick clears throat)

Eick: We definitely were lucky to get the 90 minute because one of the things that had to go if we didn't was this entire Tyrol-[[Cally]] storyline.

RDM: Yeah. Oh the one hour is- I mean we did actually have to cut a one hour- 'cause actually...

Eick: Yeah, for international.

RDM: For international consumption we actually had to do a one hour version and it's almost incomprehensible. And all the joy of this episode is just completely gone. It's just like- races you through little pieces.

Eick: Yeah, and if you happened to see the previous week and you're waiting on the edge of your seat to at least get some sense of closure between Cally and Tyrol after this terrible thing he's done to her, um... you won't be getting any of that. (Laughs).

RDM: No. So for those of you in Spain, I'm really really sorry.

Eick: (Laughing) Sorry.

RDM: Tell your people to buy the 90 minutes from now.

Eick: Um this particular section plays really well for me because, as some of you may know, I'm usually the voice of the 14 year old saying "Don't forget the action." And I love the fact that we open this episode- and this is pretty good combat stuff that Rymer got...

RDM: Yeah, we got some juicy action right there in front of you.

Eick: And that [[IMDB:nm0782890|Andy Seklir]] did a magnificent job cutting together because it's always tough with this stuff. And you know, the show really is not an action show. "Battlestar Galactica" is a show with action elements to it, but because it's not an action show, we're not set up to do days and days of action photography. We don't have a full-time second unit director to mop up action scenes. And so our ability to do action, in some respects, depends on how on our game we are during prep and how good the director is at that particular discipline.

RDM: Mmhmm.

Eick: And I would say action is not Michael Rymer's favorite thing to do. So when he does it really well, I'm very happy. (Laughs) And this is...

RDM: (Laughing) He doesn't like it. Surprising- he's really good at it, but he doesn't especially enjoy it. I think- from- I- I...

Eick: It's very technical.

RDM: I would suspect for maybe the same reasons I don't enjoy writing it. They're not my favorite scenes to write or action scenes. They are very technical. It's about calling out shots. And it's really in the hands of the director to figure out the rhythm of an action scene, when you cut to certain people, what Kara's gonna do, how high she gets up on an obstacle- I mean all these things are very camera-specific. And for a writer, I just don't find them that really intriguing. So I tend to sort of- "'The Civil War begins', he writes". (Laughs)

Eick: Or or or "They enter the arena and race".

RDM: Yes.

Eick: Yeah, they're very difficult to- in fact, uh um- often times they're not only the hardest to write, they're the dreariest to read. And there's nothing good about them except for watching them.

RDM: Yeah, except for watching them. (unintelligible)

Eick: But I think um...

RDM: I love this look on [[Kara]]'s face here at the end of that scene. The way (unintelligible).

Eick: Well honestly a lot of it does come down to the performances. You're as invested in an action scene as the actors are forcing you to be and...

RDM: Yeah, we got really lucky, obviously, with her.

Eick: This was- the first time I saw this episode this was my favorite [[Mary McDonnell]] scene in ages just because it's such a different color for her. (Laughs)

RDM: Oh I know. I love the fact that she finally says "[[frak]]" and she apologizes immediately for it, "I'm sorry my language".

Eick: Also this was the episode where I think we all sort of agree that [[Tory Foster|Tory]] was gonna- was here to stay.

RDM: Yeah.

Eick: She's a really interesting character. She's a very different energy than [[Billy]] was. I love the way Mary plays against her.

RDM: Tory's somebody we should find the first couple of episodes the next season. Yeah, what happened to Tory during the occupation?

Eick: Yeah, I have that note actually.

RDM: Do you? Oh good! We're actually- as we speak, David and I, just before the podcast began we were discussing episodes one and two of season three because I've written the first drafts of the first two episodes and we're starting to sort of figure out exactly what season three is. Yeah, Tory. We should do something with Tory.

Eick: Yeah, yeah. She's a really nice foil in a way- in her own way- for the [[Laura Roslin|Laura]] character, where as Billy was sort of a professional sycophant. I mean it was always impressive when he would stand up to her but it was a big shift for him. I think in a way we're playing the opposite rhythm with Tory.

RDM: Yeah, Tory's more her own woman.

Eick: She's gonna be in Laura's face, maybe in some respects more than Laura wants her to be.

RDM: Yeah, I like that. I like that aspect of the character and she's capable of some nasty shit too. I mean she's gonna - due to the election stuff coming up here.

Eick: Yeah.

RDM: This is like an example of the art department doing a lot with very little. They had no budget to do this with. I think I wrote in the script that they were in a [[wikipedia:redoubt|redoubt]], I called it, or a [[wikipedia:Bunker#Pillbox|pillbox]] or something that uh-

Eick: First time I've ever heard that word. Redoubt. (higher voice) Redoubt.

RDM: And [[Samuel Anders|Anders]] and his guys had some fallback position way up on this mountain, and there was literally almost nothing in the budget to make this thing, whatever it was and [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0399750/ Richard Hudolin] like tearing out his hair a little bit. But then they just came up with this very simple sort of wall which kind of communicates a fortified position without having to actually build a gigantic thing that would break the budget.

Eick: [[IMDB:nm0874001|Michael Trucco]] who plays Anders is someone who's also gonna be back in season three and really has integrated himself in the cast in an interesting way. He's got a great scene coming up later with Kara and [[Lee Adama|Lee]]. I think it's always interesting when you introduce a new actor into a dynamic that you're used to seeing a very certain way, it's hard for them not to stick out.

RDM: Yeah.

Eick: Here you've got [[Helo]] and Kara and Anders here and I would say he sort of seemlessly weaves in. You don't really feel it.

RDM: Yeah, and I like it when he gets back to ''Galactica''. We'll talk about that later but I think this is the episode I like the Anders- Anders the best. I think I really grew to really like the character and the actor in this episode most of all.

RDM: Cylon-occupied [[wikipedia:Vancouver|Vancouver]].

Eick: Yes, it's certainly a city and series of locations that we've shot the hell out of.

RDM: Oh my gosh.

Eick: This is of course [[The_Twelve_Colonies_%28RDM%29#Caprica|Caprica]]. It's also [[Kobol]]. It's also going to be [[New Caprica]], which you'll see at the end of the episode. And coming up with different ways to shoot it and different ways to dress it and different angles on it has become a big job for our director of photography, [[IMDB:nm0002323|Stephen McNutt]], whose- y'know, God the poor guy's got- (Laughs)

RDM: Oh my God, I know. We just beat up Steve all the time.

Eick: Well y'know, we try to say things like "Well, y'know, Caprica's kind of burnt orange because of the post-nuclear fallout and Kobol is really lush and green. Isn't that enough?" (Laughs)

RDM: Yup. This little B here is a little problematic, I always found. This didn't quite read the way- I think this is a script issue, but the idea was a lot of people come out of their little fortified position and one of them turns out to be [[Cavil|Brother Cavil]]. Doesn't quite- there's a problem as they all turn around and look up at him they look a little bit more surprised than they probably should.

Eick: Yeah as if he's a sudden...

RDM: As if he's a sudden appearance and that wasn't the concept. But you're sort of over and past it in enough time to sort of get the idea.

==[http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/mp3/220/bsg_ep220_2of7.mp3 Act 1]==

RDM: This is a great little scene. This is one of my favorite Laura scenes.

Eick: I for- this was such a good scene.

RDM: It's such a good scene.

Eick: I forgot that it was in the script

RDM: I know. I did too.

Eick: I remember sitting there watching, going "What the hell is this?".

RDM: I wrote it and I was sort of like "Well, it's an ok little scene and y'know he- she tries to convince him and talk it out." It was kind of forgettable and then I saw it and I was like "Wow!"

Eick: It's like an homage to [[wikipedia:All the President's Men (film)|All the President's Men]]. It's the first thing I thought when I saw it... the [[wikipedia:Hal Holbrook|Hal Holbrook]] stuff in the garage, y'know.

RDM: It's really interesting. Yeah. The way he chose to stage this, putting her in shadow, her sitting down.

Eick: In the script did it say all the lights are off?

RDM: I don't think so. I don't think it did at all.

Eick: That's what threw me off.

RDM: I think he just walked in- I think in the script he just walked in and he didn't see anybody at first and she kinda just stepped out of the bathroom or something.

Eick: But it's another scene- I mean this is- we're right now putting the show up for various awards and they want to know what our selects are. And Ron and I were talking about "Well what- you know we definitely want to push Mary McDonnell for Best Actress, so which episode do you choose?" And first blush you say "[[Epiphanies]]" which was an early episode in season two because it was like the Laura episode and "What was Laura doing before the attack?" and all this kind of stuff. Honestly we looked at this- this is her strongest work of the year. It really is.

RDM: Yeah, this is a good good episode for Mary. And there's a beat here- (background noise of what sounds like a toilet flushing) That would be the bathroom. (RDM & Eick laugh) We're in my office today by the way. There's no garbage trucks, but there is a bathroom.

Eick: There is, however, [[wikipedia:scotch whiskey|scotch]].

RDM: There is scotch and I'm about to completely break the law and smoke in here. Come and get me, Arnold!

(Eick laughs)

RDM: When he- when she says "The-" uh, we have the sound turned down so it's always- it's hard to- oh no, we were past it. There was a beat there where she says "I think settlement on the planet is the most important thing to face humanity" and Baltar just sits back and stares at her for a long time and then he finally says "Ok, you're right."

Eick: Yeah! (Laughs)

RDM: There's something so great about that like you don't know what he's gonna do. And then he kind of has to concede the point even as Baltar, he has to sort of "Yeah, ok you're right." (Lights cigarette)

Eick: Well, I wish it was [[wikipedia:Super Bowl|Super Bowl Sunday]], I could have one of those with ya.

RDM: It's the season finale, doesn't that count?

Eick: No.

RDM: You can do one on the Super Bowl and one on the season- Dave is an ex-smoker. I'm a recent smoker.

Eick: I'm an ex-smoker, I get one a year. Ron's a re-smoker, we call him.

RDM: I'm a re- recent smoker. I've only been smoking for a couple years. There's been endless discussion on the podcast, by the way, of me smoking. [[IMDB:nm0237499|Terry]] was a guest star last week.

Eick: Was she?

RDM: And she was busting my chops about smoking because I've got into this habit of watching the show and podcasting and chainsmoking through it. It's now literally the place I smoke the most. I now smoke more during the podcast than-

Eick: So were it not for these podcasts, you might have made it to 50.

RDM: That's right!

Eick: Oh well, anything for the show.

RDM: Anything for my fans.

Eick: (Laughing sarcastically) "My fans."

RDM: My people. My- my- my peeps.

RDM: And we talked a lot about whether this moment should happen or not... Whether Laura should-

Eick: Well it was out in the first cut.

RDM: It was out in the first cut. When she calls him on the y'know, "I saw you with a blonde woman on Caprica."

Eick: But isn't it interesting though, and Rym- I'm gonna bust Rymer's balls on this, he always cuts the stuff that's like the best stuff he does.

RDM: Yeah.

Eick: Like that transition right there where [[Six]] is suddenly there...

RDM: I know. It's a great transition.

Eick: It gives me chills every time I watch it. It's really effective. And he did that- and now I have to admit, even though I think a lot of it was about execution, I- there were a variety of different versions in the previous episode of Mary cracking up laughing- she cracks up laughing.

RDM: Yeah, that's right.

Eick: And there were versions of it that I hated because there were so- I just thought they were awkwardly done. And Ron and I were in the editing room and literally the editor sped by some piece that had been omitted and it was perfect! It was like exactly the moment that made it work. I don't know, I think- you know what it is? We're giving him too much time in the editing room. You gotta kick him out.

RDM: You gotta kick him out.

Eick: He's overthinking. He's cutting out his best stuff.

RDM: He gets there and he starts to worry that it's not working. He shoots amazing stuff though. This scene was gonna be gone too. I mean all this- all the texture of the show was going to have to be gone if we had to actually made this an hour. I like this little thing with [[Ellen]] and Tigh and the deal that they make in their marriage, because there was something important to me about saying that they- really it's a completely screwed up, dysfunctional marriage but it works for them. And they come to this place where Ellen says "How long?" and he says, "A year." Ok, whatever, a year! And she actually stands by him. Ironically, fine at the other side of the job.

Eick: But you know, we cut the year.

RDM: Oh we cut the year?

Eick: Yeah. (Laughs)

RDM: Oh, well ignore me then. I got a rewrite project. I'll rewrite episode one, like, right now!

Eick: That was one of my moves to get us the time, buddy.

RDM: That's what you're doing on the dub side?

Eick: There's no more- There's no more reference to one year.

RDM: Oh yeah. "Shortly later..." "A little while afterwards..."

Eick: No, what's great about that scene though- is that he- was that the scene where he says "Go on, cat a round."

RDM: Yeah, "Go cat around."

Eick: I love that because you're suddenly aware of the fact that Tigh knows.

RDM: He knows! He knows!

Eick: And it's great because you realize that they've got this unholy alliance where they sort of understand each other.

RDM: He knows who he's married to! He knows. This is a great little beat too. I like this. I wrote this in the script that this is Kara having to introduce the new boyfriend to her father.

Eick: Yeah, I love that too.

RDM: And I like the fact that he says "I'm more of a [[Picon Panthers]] fan, myself." (Laughs) He couldn't resist!

Eick: Yeah, I know. I don't know if you agree with this... This is one of those scenes that came out exactly the way I imagined it when I read it.

RDM: Yeah, actually, me too. I did.

Eick: Her awkwardness about having to introduce him to Adama.

RDM: Even camera-side... like she's on the left, he's on the right, is the way I pictured it in my mind. That's one of those things that I almost always get wrong.

Eick: Yeah, it never works out the way you imagine.

Eick: This is um- Yeah, [[code blue]].

RDM: Code blue.

Eick: Isn't that a colloquialism of our- I mean-

RDM: It's something from a hospital. You hear them yell "code blue" a lot.

Eick: Code blue, I guess-

RDM: This is one of those technical terms, I was just like "OK, and he would yell- wouldn't there be something if you saw a Cylon and you knew it you would just scream-"

Eick: What is code red then? Is code-

RDM: I avoided red just 'cause of the Star Trek reference to it so-

Eick: Oh, 'cause people in red shirts die or something?

RDM: No, red alert is like the thing.

Eick: Oh is that what they say on Star Trek?

RDM: (In cartoonish voice) Alert! (Makes alarm noises) [[wikipedia:Red Alert (Star Trek)|Red alert]]!

Eick: I see.

RDM: David's never seen [[wikipedia:Star Trek|Star Trek]].

Eick: I've never actually- I heard it's a good show.

RDM: Some of you should actually send David the DVD sets of the entire Star Trek series.

Eick: (Laughs) Well, who knows, I might start ripping that off too.

Eick: The other performance in this episode that I really love is [[Grace Park]].

RDM: Oh I know. She's really good.

Eick: She's got the hardest job- she and [[Tricia Helfer]] I think have got the hardest jobs on this show because they have to play, not multiple characters 'cause actors have done that and you can sort of make certain choices and go in certain extreme directions and pull that off.

==[http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/mp3/220/bsg_ep220_3of7.mp3 Act 2]==

(Sound of a drink being poured)

Eick: Everyone hear that? That's Dad pouring apple juice.

RDM: And what are we drinking today, David?

Eick: This would be the [[wikipedia:Johnnie Walker|Johnny Walker Blue Label]].

RDM: David really- this is on his dime. He brought in Johnny Walker Blue.

Eick: This is, afterall, the season finale.

RDM: It is the season finale. Did we do Kobol last year? Together?

Eick: No. We did season one together... the finale then.

RDM: That's right, Kobol was the end of season one.

Eick: Oh, what-

RDM: This is season two.

Eick: Oh. We haven't done three yet? Jesus Christ!

RDM: No. We're working on three.

Eick: Yeah, I guess we did.

RDM: Well it's confusing too, because we had that midseason break.

Eick: Yeah.

(Sounds of Johnny Walker Blue being poured)

Eick: But I like Grace- I should've mentioned earlier- I like her in- that look she has in her face when they're moving through the forest and you're not sure-

RDM: Yeah, whose side she's on (unintelligible)

Eick: ... which side she's on, or if she's just terrified, is she worried because she might get taken out by one of her own people. And this glare right here she gives Helo is just so powerful.

RDM: Yeah.

Eick: Grace is not someone who had done a lot of this before "Battlestar Galactica".

RDM: No.

Eick: It's not her first job, but she's not Mary McDonnell.

RDM: She wasn't Mary.

Eick: And it's really been great- and I've said this before- but she in a lot of ways gets the "Most Improved" award for the year. Not because she wasn't great in the miniseries and in season one, but she took it so seriously.

RDM: Yeah, she really did.

Eick: She just dove into the training and really, really embraced the opportunity that she saw for herself and it's been great seeing her grow.

RDM: This scene is one of my favorite Kara-slash-[[Katee Sackhoff|Katee]] scenes. This makes me love her. This just sort of-

Eick: In many ways because she's as hateful as she's ever been! And you just...

RDM: I know, it's as hateful as she's ever been and yet there's something so pure about it and I get why you would fall in love with her and she's such a kid on some level. She's just this kid who's drunk and ha- This is the happiest she's ever been.

Eick: Yeah. Yeah.

RDM: I think this is the happiest we've ever seen this character.

Eick: I think the reason you like her here is because she is human.

RDM: She's very human.

Eick: She's definitely in an indulgent moment. She's not thinking about anything except her own thrilled happiness at having this guy back. And I think everyone's been in all three of these positions.

RDM: Yeah.

Eick: We've all been the person thrilled to have our lover back with us. We've all been that guy or girl thrilled to be had back. And we've ALL been Lee, coveting and watching and wishing.

RDM: Yeah, we've all been Lee... like, "Oh shit. There's my old girlfriend, or at least the girl I had the crush on, and she's with the other guy."

Eick: It's a really- it's a really well done scene.

RDM: I remember when they read this at the table read. And this particular table read, they got this this version of the script literally as they were all sitting down, so they read these scenes cold.

Eick: That's right.

RDM: And Katee reading this scene, kept laughing throughout it as she was saying these lines. Later, Rymer tells me, "Well that's how Katee is with her boyfriends. She IS like that! That's just Katee!"

(Eick laughs)

RDM: I go "Really?" He said, "Yeah, she kinda is like that... 'That's my property over there.'" Katee, by the way, is dating an enormous- what is he, a tackle? Guard?

Eick: Well, Katee WAS dating the starting right guard for the [[wikipedia:Kansas City Chiefs|Kansas City Chiefs]].

RDM: Oh "was". And she's not anymore?

Eick: Yes. That has since gone on the wane.

RDM: Oh, well sorry. This hap- see I'm three steps behind on this kind of shit.

Eick: If you hang out with Katee for long enough, which is to say if you hang out with Katee for about ten minutes, you'll hear exactly what's going on with her love life...

(Both laugh)

Eick: ... by minute two!

RDM: I like this too. He leaves and she just kinda goes, "Where'd he go? What's the matter?"

Eick: Oh yeah. Yes. No, I was actually proud of this cut because this scene used to go on a lot longer.

RDM: Yeah, this one- he picked her up, carried her off to the bed. It just went on a little too long. Yeah, that kept going. This is one of my favorite scenes in the show. I really like this one- Cavil...

Eick: Oh yeah, and she- again, I hate to keep harping on Mary, but she's really good in this too.

RDM: Well, what's really interesting to me is I've done a lot of scenes like this, where you have two characters in a split- we did this all the time at Trek. There'd be the duplicates and they would have to act in the scene together. And I've seen that convention many, many times. I swear to God, this is the best I've ever seen it because [[IMDB:nm0001777|Dean Stockwell]], if you watch him, he is reacting in what seems like real time to himself and Dean had just planned every little beat of this sequence. [[Harvey Frand|Harvey]] and Michael Rymer were both telling me "God, I cannot believe Dean. He just seemed to have it all wired." Everything from his eyeline, looking around the guy, the looks, and the pauses. He knew exactly what the timing was on this kind of thing and I just think it's a great piece of work.

Eick: It's one of the things you realize when you work with someone like [[Edward James Olmos|Eddie]] and Mary in relationships with a lot of the others who are so new is that when you've been doing this kind of thing a while there are tricks of the trade that you just can't teach, it's just something that comes with experience. Dean Stockwell is someone who's been doing this like the 1920's or something. (Laughs)

RDM: Oh I know.

Eick: His list of credits is like a mile long.

RDM: He's literally the old pro from Dover.

Eick: Yeah, and he- he- so- but he was also someone who was just the consummate pro. Every comma in the script, by the way, he hit. There's no embellishing about it.

RDM: I got no notes from- Dean never had a note. He just did the script, but he did it so exquisitely well. You know where that phrase comes from, "The old pro from Dover"? Do you know that reference?

Eick: I was pretending to.

RDM: "The old pro from Dover" is actually from ''MASH''. From the- Either from- I think it's definitely from the book [[wikipedia:M*A*S*H (novels)|''MASH'']] and I think it's in the movie [[wikipedia:MASH (film)|''MASH'']]. It's this weird thing about- "We're the old pros from Dover!" when they come into the hospital in Tokyo. (Eick laughs) Just some phrase they had or a hooker had about guys that were considered "the old pro from Dover"... somebody of incredible competence that just shows up.

Eick: You mean [[wikipedia:Trapper John McIntyre|Trapper]].

RDM: Yeah, they're referring to Trap- well, Trapper and [[wikipedia:Hawkeye Pierce|Hawkeye]]. When they go to the hospital in Tokyo...

Eick: Right.

RDM: ... to go operate on the Congressman's son or something, they show up and say "Yeah, we're the old pros from Dover. We're here to fix up the Congressman's son and hit the links a little bit."

Eick: But it hasn't become commonly colloquial, you're just imposing it on us.

RDM: No, it's an "in" reference.

Eick: So yeah, Dean's coming back. Dean will be back next year.

RDM: Yeah. Dean enjoyed himself. He had a good time on the show.

Eick: Eddie, however, won't be. We should point out that in this point in the show...

RDM: No, Eddie won't be with us.

Eick: ... there will be no more Edward James Olmos.

RDM: But we are gonna have an animated version of Ed. (Eick laughs) An all CGI Edward for Season Three. It's a bold departure.

Eick: That's like [[wikipedia:Brando|Brando]]. Didn't he make the argument for [[wikipedia:Superman: The Movie|Superman]] that he should just do it all as a voice, that way he wouldn't have to show up for his million dollars?

RDM: Yeah, I think so.

Eick: See how- see, she's so great here.

RDM: She's so great. "Throw him out the airlock."

Eick: The old "Throw him out the airlock."

(Both laugh.)

RDM: Laura can't wait to say that!

Eick: It's becoming her "walk it off".

RDM: It's really like her "walk it off".

(Both laugh.)

==[http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/mp3/220/bsg_ep220_4of7.mp3 Act 3]==

Eick: Ron and I were talking about an election episode for years, it seems like... debating-

RDM: Well once we did "[[Bastille Day]]"-

Eick: Yeah, that's right.

RDM: Because "Bastille Day" is where it all originated.

Eick: Where Lee says, "There's going to be an election."

RDM: "There's going to be an election." And there was a lot of "Oh God, now we have to do an election".

Eick: We were really dreading it because when you do- because we've all seen those terrible- I've done a movie where we try to depict the stupid local election. You know you got the guys in the goofy red, white, and blue hats and everyone with their placards, "Vote for Laura".

RDM: I know the placards. (chants) "We want Laura!"

Eick: Yeah, it's all- it just looks lame and you never have enough extras and it just never sells. So the thing I think was the breakthrough was the fact that there would be this- not that we're informed by current events of course-

RDM: (sarcastically) No! (unintelligible)

Eick: ...that there would be this attempt at stealing an election and suddenly that became the focus and that's where the drama was and it wouldn't be about the campaign and it wouldn't be about- other than the fact that there's a televised debate in the previous episode which is great, great fun and a great sort of send up. I thought it was telling that the percentage of the audience when we screened this (unintelligible) who got the "There you go again" reference.

RDM: "There you go again." I love that.

Eick: It was roughly twenty percent. Which was about right.

RDM: I know! "There you go again." Well actually, the truth is, when I was- I'm trying to remember how did we come up with this stealing the election and whose idea it was?

Eick: All I know is I was fighting the election episode tooth and nail every step of the way, until this became the issue.

RDM: Until the stealing. What really resonated with me was legitimately not actually [[wikipedia:United States presidential election, 2000|2000]]. I saw a PBS documentary on the [http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/presidents/36_l_johnson/index.html American Experience about Lyndon Johnson]. There was a thing when he was running for I believe the Senate or the Congress or something. I think it was when he first ran to be senator from Texas, and there was some shenanigan that happened that he kind of skated through. There was a shot they had of a bunch of guys in Texas. It was a black and white still photo of a bunch of guys in Texas standing outside- it's an exterior shot- standing with a ballot box. They're all kind of leaning on the ballot box and grinning at the camera like-

Eick: Oh, the cat that ate the canary? Oh my God.

RDM: Yeah, the cat that ate the canary. And there's been like rampant speculation that things happen in Texas that you probably shouldn't think about too much. But there was this great photo that they had of all these guys grinning, standing around a ballot box. So that was really informing me as I was writing these scenes that somehow it would center around a ballot box, about just slipping the ballots one way or the other. So it was really an antidemocratic thing!

Eick: Well no, but it works- I mean I don't want to sit here and surely we should probably get to start talking about some of the things we really hated about the episode-

RDM: Sure.

Eick: But I think that aspect of it works because you say "Ok well there's going to be an election and that's going to be part of the story and then there's going to be a stolen election, that's why we think it's worthy." But it can't be so overwhelmingly complex and drag you into the minutiae of how the election was stolen. So, hard thing to pull off really is to come up with an elegantly, classical, simple subterfuge that you buy and it feels realistic and that doesn't overwhelm the episode. There's a lot more going on obviously.

RDM: In the two-hour version- Michael shot a lot of stuff...

Eick: Oh God.

RDM: A lot of minutiae of checking the ballots, counting the ballots, and we just-

Eick: One box being dropped, another box being picked up.

RDM: Yeah, and we just milked- it was like a ten minute sequence. We just milked it for everything-

Eick: Well that was back when we were trying to fill up time.

RDM: Yeah to fill up the time. We'll just keep on the box! These guys go behind this door and there's another ballot box and they take it out of the case and they put this one- And it takes two minutes of screen time.

Eick: Yeah. Let's see... What's terrible about the episode, Ron?

RDM: Yeah, what sucks about this one?

Eick: Hmm... That guy's glasses look a little too Earthly.

RDM: Yeah, who's he?

Eick: You know I actually like this- Props is a big part of the- They did such a great job. Look at all this stuff. It looks great.

RDM: I know. I didn't describe any of this. They just bring in the ballot box. But from the tape to the lock and all that stuff, I think it's completely our production crew really sweating the details.

Eick: I think it's interesting, in TV guys like Ron and I get a lot of credit... Director's don't. I've never heard any fan or seen any message board or gotten an email about a [[Rod Hardy]] episode versus a Michael Rymer episode versus a [[Jeff Woolnough]] episode. Battlestar is unique in that we actually pay attention to that. Now I'm not saying other shows don't. But we imbue the director with a great deal of, I'll say, accountability. We have a lot of very specific things we want and we talk a lot about specifics but we also expect and demand that the director contribute and have the pride of ownership that I think comes with stronger episodes. So a lot of those details that we talk about and that we really like and that we sit and are surprised by are Rymer decisions because he sweats those things. Ron and I will sit up here in L.A. or even down at Vancouver, usually on the phone with each other back in L.A. worrying about the next one while Rymer's saying "OK, I want that sticker to-

RDM: Yeah, "...be like this."

Eick: "... be like this, not like that."

RDM: You have to really make it sing. I like the fact that Baltar just assumes that Laura would never do something like that.

Eick: Yeah, I do too.

RDM: I think that's an interesting thing. I hope that one of the details Michael sweated, or somebody sweated, are the numbers.

Eick: I hope so too! (Laughs)

RDM: Because I did a thumbnail, quick calculation of "There's this many people in the fleet... let's say that roughly this many people are kids. This many people can vote." And I sort of did it on my calculator quickly.

Eick: Oh Jesus, you're right! Kids!

RDM: Trying to add this up... Here would be the majority that would give it to Laura. I put a note in the script, "Numbers are temp. To be checked later."

(Both laugh)

Eick: Hoping that someone would pick up that ball!

RDM: Hoping that some- And I hope somebody- There'll be a whole thread on some message board about "Well, I added these numbers up..." Trust me, Laura won.

Eick: I also have to say this is probably my favorite [[Richard Hatch]] performance.

RDM: Yeah, Richard's really on it here.

Eick: That character's really had to evolve. The interesting thing about Richard is that for somebody who's got such a notorious association with the show, he was in the original, he was so vocal about our not doing the remake, to have very quietly and in an unassuming way emerge in the show as such a strong supporting character. We had him come up, I remember sitting on a plane with him once, we happened to be booked on the same flight, and he was flying up and he just comes and does it. He comes up for a couple days, he does his thing and goes home. Each time he's shown up he's been better, he's embraced the character more.

RDM: He knows his lines down cold.

Eick: He knows the lines cold, but there's this emerging subtlety to what he's doing and a confidence that I think he's built. If you look at what he's doing in this episode against ''Bastille Day'', it's almost like two different actors.

RDM: Yeah, he's really great.

Eick: I hope it provides him with more opportunities because I think he's a really strong- When you see some of the people come in and read for these roles, Richard's an exceptional actor.

RDM: It gives me a great deal of pleasure to know that Richard has this role and he's doing well with it and he likes it. It's really nice.

Eick: You never hear a complaint from him like "Why aren't I in this show more?" or "Why can't my character-"

RDM: "I want to fly a [[Viper]] again!"

Eick: "I want to fly a Vipe-" Yeah, never. Now watch, we say this...

RDM: I know and tomorrow we get a phone call, "I was thinking I could fly a Viper."

(Eick laughs)

RDM: Look at Tigh's face. He's just like the angriest dog in the universe.

(Eick laughs)

RDM: He's just like "Fuck! This little pissant is now calling me on my stealing of the election and I gotta deal with this shit."

Eick: It's so funny you say that. Remember we were talking about stuff I was getting hung up on on the dub stage yesterday? The slamming of that ballot box in frustration... Three or four times.

(RDM laughs)

Eick: It's like, (as Tigh) "God damn this [[Gaeta]]! Jesus Christ!" Another tiny military detail, "Fast and straight, I'd advise", is so- You must've heard that growing up or something because that's so authentically-

RDM: No. No, it's just one of those phrases I just invented in the moment.

Eick: I love that. I love that. And I HATE most of Ron's writing.

RDM: Yes, he does.

Themes in Battlestar Galactica (RDM)

2006-03-27T04:33:37Z

Laineylain: Sow not sew :)

'''This article is a work in progress.'''

: ''For the article covering themes in [[TOS|the original series]], refer to [[Themes of Battlestar Galactica (TOS)]].''

There are many [[Wikipedia:Theme (literature)|literary themes]] that are noticeable through [[TNS|the series run]]. This article notes and summarizes thes themes, without having to rummage through the [[:Category:Episode Guide|episode guide]].

Some of these themes also tie closely with the story lines running throughout the series.

== Life here began out there ==

While not codified in the run of the [[TNS|re-imagined series]], the theme that "life here began out there" is derived from the original series. It is a theme derived from the works of [[Wikipedia:Erich von Däniken|Erich von Däniken]], who is well known for his belief in the [[Wikipedia:ancient astronaut theory|ancient astronaut theory]].

These theme is introduced in the [[Miniseries]], during which Commander [[William Adama]] declares that [[The Fleet (RDM)|the Fleet]]'s destination should be the mythical Thirteenth Colony, [[Earth]].

It is later touched up on after the discovery of [[Kobol]] in "[[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I]]", which solidifies the background theme of the series.

== You reap what you sow ==

Essentially, this theme also ties closely with [[#Responsibility|responsibility]]. This theme affects every character in the series, the only difference lies in how this ties into the characters.

=== Man and the Cylons ===

As codified in the series, mankind created the [[Cylon (RDM)|Cylon]]s as servants to fight humanity's petty wars and to address social needs that humanity didn't care to attend to. This later lead to a prolonged conflict, which brought humanity to it's knees.

=== Kara Thrace and Saul Tigh ===

As established in the series, both [[Kara Thrace]] and [[Saul Tigh]] both share the same outward problem: namely alcoholism. In the [[Miniseries]], Tigh attempts to make peace with Thrace, only to have the offer thrown in his face. Later, in "[[Bastille Day]]", Thrace attempts to bury the hatchet with Tigh -- only to have Tigh throw her offering back in her face.

== Podcast Transcripts ==
Thanks for your work on these! We are WAY behind, but I'm hoping we can make some headway on them between now and October. I'm not cut out for transcribing, as I try to capture every um, ah, y'know (all the fillers), which drastically slows me down (especially since those aren't supposed to be transcribed anyway). I try to help out with the verifying, though, where the perfectionism doesn't slow me down as much. Anyway, thanks again! --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 12:33, 13 March 2006 (CST)
:You're very welcome. I'm part of the [http://community.livejournal.com/battlestar_blog LiveJournal battlestar_blog community]. One of the members is deaf and wanted to know what was on RDM's podcasts (around the time when battlestarwiki was down due to server problems). I volunteered to help transcribe an episode and email it to her, but in the meantime battlestarwiki was brought back online so I posted the transcripts here. Great work on the verifications, SV!

Battlestar Wiki:Podcast Transcripts

2006-03-23T03:58:34Z

Laineylain: Pegasus, Act 1 - verified

{{project|Podcast Transcripts}}

This project is meant to coordinate and standardize the transcription of Ronald D. Moore's freely available episode podcasts. Our goal is to produce a searchable text repository for purposes of citation. At this time, we will only be transcribing freely available podcasts from [http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/ SciFi.com], not additonal DVD commentaries. Ron D. Moore and David Eick have recorded commentary tracks for the [[Mini-series]] (also including director Michael Rymer), "[[33]]", "[[Bastille Day]]", "[[Act of Contrition]]", and "[[You Can't Go Home Again]]". However, they have not been put up online for free but are only available in the Season 1 DVD set. Therefore, transcripts of these are not provided here, though relevant quotes may be found sourced in certain articles on Battlestar Wiki.

This project is a daughter of the [[Battlestar Wiki:Citation Jihad|Citation Jihad]].

==Standards==

===Namespace===
Podcast transcripts should be named after the episode to which they correspond with the addition of the (podcast) namespace, for example, [[Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down (podcast)]].

===Structure===
Begin each podcast article with the template:
<nowiki>{{podcast|author=YourNameHere|emailAuthor2=|suffix=|additionalCopyright=}}</nowiki>

Use first-level headings to divide Teaser and Act breaks. Make each heading an offsite link to the appropriate podcast segment, e.g.

==[<nowiki>http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/mp3/109/bsg_ep109_1of5.mp3</nowiki> Teaser]==

Try to break up RDMs comments into paragraphs along topical lines.

===Transcription===
RDM frequently uses "uh", "um" and "y'know" as discourse particles. For readabilities sake, try to exclude these where they interrupt the flow of an otherwise grammatical sentence.

Where RDM interrupts himself, end the last word of the first statement with an emdash. You may include whatever discourse particles he uses to introduce the next thought. For example:

"I think it's a very good movie, one that I always thought was a— y'know, prime for us to do a riff on."

Generally, you may ignore emphasis except where RDM's tone is critical to the interpretation of a statement (e.g. sarcasm).

===Links===
Where RDM mentions a BSG episode or character, link to our own article. Where he mentions a television show or actor which we do not have (or need) our own article for, offer a link to the corresponding page on IMDB. If another resource such as Wikipedia or Memory Alpha has more comprehensive information, you may link there at your discression. To avoid overlinking, only link once per act break.

===Corrections===
Except for simple spelling errors, do not offer a "correction" without first having listened to the relevant portion of the recording. Always leave a comment on the talk page explaining your change.

==Checkins==
When you begin work on a transcription, place your name beside the segment you are working on. When you've completed and uploaded it, mark your name next to "Transcribed". Afterwards, it would be helpful for a second user to verify the transcription.

==[http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/mp3/210/bsg_ep210_1of5.mp3 Teaser]==

Hello, and welcome to the podcast for episode ten, "[[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]", of season two. I'm [[Ronald D. Moore]], executive producer and developer of [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|the new "Battlestar Galactica"]] and I'd like to welcome you to the podcast. This one's a lot of fun for me, this is a episode that I've been thinking about for a long time, literally since I agreed to do the project. There's a couple of things you should know going into this: this is the one hour version of "Pegasus". We struggled ''mightily'' to get this show to time, and when the footage was complete, I believe the Director's Cut was a good 15 minutes over. Which is a bit of a problem, because that's more than an ''act's'' worth of material, and as we tried varying ways to get this down to the hour running length, I kept feeling like the best version of the show was the longer version. So we actually explored for a while the possibility of showing a 90 minute version of "Pegasus", and there was various discussions with the network back and forth. Ultimately, one of the problems was, we had an episode that was too long for an hour, and too short for 90 minutes. We could never quite plump it out to the point where it could be a 90 minute show, and it was always very difficult to pare it down to an hour show. So we finally got it down to an hour, rather than pad it out and just make it slow to get to 90 minutes, we compromised and decided to go with the fastest barn-burner of an episode that we could, in the one hour.

And, uh, fortunately, Universal Home Video has agreed to show the larger, the longer version of "Pegasus" in the season 2 DVD set so there's something for all of you to look foward to. So there will be periodic references to that throughout the show, but I'll try not to dwell on too much on that.

This episode obviously has its genesis in the roots of the show itself, which is the Original 1978 Series. They did an episode in the original Galactica called "Living Legend, Parts I and II", which featured the return of the Battlestar Pegasus. Er, not the return, but meeting the Battlestar ''[[Pegasus (TOS)|Pegasus]]'', and its commander— uh, Commander [[Cain (TOS)|Cain]] who was played by [[IMDB:nm0000978|Lloyd Bridges]]. It also introduced the character of [[Sheba]], who was Cain's daughter on ''Pegasus''. And at the end of that, of the original series's two-parter, ''Pegasus'' and Cain kind of vanish and it's not clear whether they're alive or dead, but Sheba, the commander's daughter, stays aboard and essentially becomes a somewhat romantic interest of [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]]. Sheba was a character that is not present in this version of the show. I felt that Sheba ultimately was too cute of a character concept; that you'd run into ''another'' Battlestar and that commander ''also'' would have a child as the commander of his airgroup, or in this case her airgroup. I just felt it was one step too far, it pushed the reality of the show across the line, where essentially then the show is winking at the audience and sort of going "Yeah, they did it so we're going to do it too; it's kind of cute isn't it? That, you know, ''two'' commanders and ''two'' kids and the kids are gettin' into it!" You know that, I— I just couldn't go there. It worked for the Original Series, I will give the Original Series that, that it— within the context of their show and within the sort of parameters of how they chose to tell stories and their characters it worked perfectly fine. It just didn't feel like it was going to work very well in our episode.

The choice of [[IMDB:nm0000405|Michelle Forbes]] to play Admiral [[Helena Cain|Cain]] was the subject of much discussion. We went through a lot of actresses' names. We went through a lot of sort of testing, internally about who we would use and what the possibilities for her. I had worked with Michelle Forbes on "[[IMDB:tt0092455|Star Trek: The Next Generation]]", where she played Ensign [[MemoryAlpha:Ro Laren|Ro]], and other people knew her from her film work. And there was something really interesting about going with a— not an older woman, but a slightly younger woman. That she would personify this character. It seemed like an interesting challenge, as opposed to going to someone older, you know, and more experienced, in some ways, there was something that I really liked about bringing in the younger admiral, the sort of fast-tracked admiral, who then comes in and takes command of ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'', and the entire [[The Fleet (RDM)|Rag Tag Fleet]].

I should say that in the original, in "[[The Living Legend, Part I]] and [[The Living Legend, Part I|II]]", Commander Cain did ''not'' outrank [[Adama (TOS)|Adama]]. That story was similar only insofar as there was, there is a "Battlestar Pegasus", they do meet up with it unexpectedly, and that there's an admiral Cain who's a bit of— more of a hardass character than Commander Adama. There story was very different; it had to do with Cain's obsession with attacking a particular Cylon outpost or base, as I recall, and his determination to attack that Cylon base despite Adama's misgivings and Cain even manipulates the tactical situation at one point; he's out flying Vipers, ''himself'', for some reason, and you know is destroying ships in order to force Adama to attack the Cylon base, which Cain has been advocating all along. We didn't use any of that for the show. We just sort of started with the premise of Cain showing up. I'll be back.

==[http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/mp3/210/bsg_ep210_2of5.mp3 Act 1]==

We started with the premise of [[Helena Cain|Cain]] showing up and being a hardass. I like that. I like the kernel of that. That another [[Mercury class battlestar|battlestar]] comes on the scene and their commander is a tougher one than ours is, and is a bit of a crazy person. On top of that, what I thought was even more interesting was then to say, "Well what if that commander shows up and they outrank [[William Adama|Adama]]? What if that commander shows up and takes command of [[The Fleet (RDM)|the Fleet]] away from Adama?" Which would happen. And suddenly I realized '''that''' was a more interesting tale. It's one thing to run into the crazy man, or woman in this case. It's one thing to deal with that other commander who's a little out of control and you have doubts about, but it's another thing entirely when that crazy person comes and takes over your fleet. As I said earlier, there's a lot of things that did not make it into the one-hour version of [[Pegasus (episode)|"Pegasus"]]. There's a whole leadup to this scene with Adama and [[Laura Roslin|Laura]] and [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]] walking through the hallway, and that's where they talk about who Admiral Cain is. They talk about the fact that Cain was a very young Admiral, had been promoted over several people on the Commander's list. Was sort of an up and comer, and a bit of a tough one in that she had taken command of [[Battlestar Group]] 75 only recently before the attack.

[[Michael Rymer]] shot this episode. Michael Rymer had directed, of course, [[miniseries|the pilot]], and [[33]], and [[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I|Kobol's Last Gleaming]], and the opening two-parter of this season. And this is the next two-parter that Michael shot for us. And there is something about Michael's footage. There is something about the way he shoots the show, the performances he elicits from the characters, where he puts the camera, the lighting schemes that he comes up with in conjunction with our dp [http://imdb.com/name/nm0002323/ Steve McNutt], that in many ways makes it unique and distinctive. When I see the dailies on the show, I've said a few times I can always tell [[:Category:Episodes directed by Michael Rymer|Mike Rymer's]]. It's like Michael just has a particular voice for this show, and it shines through on an episode like this, which I just think is a great, great, episode.

We had varying storylines and drafts dealing with the interaction between Laura and Cain. In one of the drafts Cain in this moment did not even address Laura as president, just said, "It's a pleasure." I kept playing a card where Cain never quite acknowledged Laura as the president and there was a scene that we wrote at one point where Cain went over to talk to Laura because there was also a subplot of ships in the fleet holding back supplies, not delivering [[Tylium|fuel]], etc, because they weren't getting spare parts, they weren't getting help when [[Pegasus (RDM)|''Pegasus'']] is helping [[Galactica (RDM)|''Galactica'']] after they arrive and the civilian fleet is getting fed up. And they go on strike. There's like a strike. They're not going to deliver fuel supplies to ''Pegasus'' until they get some of their needs met. And Cain got very upset and goes to confront Laura, and in that scene Laura's like "Hey, well what do you want? You're not helping these guys out." And Cain makes it very clear to Laura in that moment that she doesn't accept her as the president and this is a military operation and she'll take what she needs from these people if need be. As this script went through the development process that just became one of the subplots that went away, thank god, because we have enough subplots as it were with the footage that we did shoot.

(sound of a zippo lighter)

This dinner sequence- that's my (exhales smoke) third cigarette of the night, and yes they are just cigarettes for those of you keeping score at home. This, not dinner sequence, sorry. This drinking scene with these three principles actually is much longer and tried to answer all the basic questions about ''Pegasus'' and we do here what- how they escaped the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|initial Cylon attack]] here by [[blind jump]] to just jump away to nowhere. The next question that was asked in the dinner party scene was "How'd you avoid the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]] [[Command Navigation Program|infecting your computer systems]], taking them over, shutting you down like they did all the other ships in the miniseries?" And the answer was that as ''Pegasus'' was going in for the overhaul, most, if not all of her computers were offline and the network had been shut down. And essentially that combined with being lucky enough to avoid the first strike and Cain's initial order to just jump somewhere safe. And then they came to realize later on that the Cylons were able to infiltrate the computer networks. How they came to understand that is something we never got into, but I think you could fill in various backstories of how they eventually figure that out on their own.

I like this scene a lot because this is the "Who is Cain?" scene and "What has she gone through?" and I thought it was really important to understand that she is the way she is for reasons. That yeah, she was always a hard-charger on her own, and that she was probably hell-on-wheels to deal with, and to be under her command, under the best of circumstances, but that they had gone through something as difficult and challenging and horrific as what ''Galactica'' had gone through. And that she's not the way she is just because she's a bad person.

[[Michelle Forbes|Michelle]] does just a great job with this role. I'm just- I'm so pleased that we cast her as Cain.

You might- if you're a fan of the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|old show]] you might have always thought that this would be one you would want to see again. I know that there's a lot of fans of the old show who wanted to see [[Pegasus (TOS)|''Pegasus'']] again, that thought that was the best episode of the original series. And I knew that. I always felt the same way. It was the most memorable episode to me. I saw the Original Series when I was a kid. 1978, I was in the eighth grade and I watched the show religously. And I remember [[The Living Legend, Part I|"Living Legend"]]. I remember [[Lloyd Bridges]], man. Lloyd Bridges shows up in that episode with a [[Wikipedia:Swagger stick|swagger stick]], baby, I mean he is doing his [[Wikipedia:George S. Patton|Patton]] thing, just like balls to the wall, no holds barred, he's just going for it. He's going to grab that scenery and he's going to CHEW IT, he's going to chew it until it just can't be chewed anymore. And it's great. It's a really great larger than life performance. And it's very memorable within the [[canon]] of the original series. So as we approach this series, I always knew it was one I was going to want to take a crack at, was, ok, and then at some point they're going to have to run into ''Pegasus'' as part of the mythos. A key part of the mythos in my mind. And I was asked first season by various reporters and people, "Are you going to do ''Pegasus''?" And I just said, "Yeah, I think so. Maybe." But I wanted to wait until I could do it right. And I'm glad we waited until the second- the middle of the second season, because by this point the show has matured to the point where I think we can do this episode. Where we've had enough happen within the show to these people, these characters have gone through enough things that there's material to mine in this kind of an episode. 'Cause ultimately Cain comes over here and she gets those logs and she starts saying, "You guys are a bunch of fuckups. I mean, you've got your son as the [[CAG]]. You've got [[Kara Thrace|Kara]] smacking people around. You've got a [[Karl Agathon|guy]] who's fraternizing with the enemy. You've got [[Galen Tyrol|two of 'em]] fraternizing with the enemy for that sake. And the secretary of education, and what? And your XO?" What Mike Rymer said when he read the script was he loved the fact that Admiral Cain comes over here and everything she says is right. She's right. She's absolutely right. She should take command and these people have been screwing up. It's just great that she doesn't come over with some sort of false, crazy, over the top agenda that doesn't make any sense. Her agenda is quite simple. Hit the Cylons. Hit them hard. Keep hitting them. Do whatever it takes to accomplish that mission. And looking at the way ''Galactica'' has been run up until this point, she goes, "What the hell is this? This is ridiculous. This is no way to run a fleet." Which, is fair. That if ''Galactica'' did find themselves back in the [[Colonial Fleet]], which is what they say at the [[Hangar Deck|hangar deck]], "Welcome back," they would find themselves under a lot of investigation and start taking a lot of criticism for they way they ran their show- ran their ship. Because they made a lot of decisions that you could argue with, and I think that's one of the great things about the show is that people have made a lot of questionable choices in what they choose to do.

I really like the fact, in the show, that Adama just gives up command. He doesn't question it. He doesn't argue with it. There's '''no''' question of her right to do it. There's just a sense of loss. There's a sense that he's lost something.

This little story... we wrote this little story, this little backstory and [[Anne Cofell Saunders|Anne Cofell]], who is the writer on this episode, came up with this little tale about shooting the guy in the head and then that [[Jack Fisk|he]] suddenly bursts out laughing and kind of takes the curse off it, in that moment. He just suddenly laughs. And its such a disturbing laugh, and the actress does- and [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0065320/ the actor] does just a great job with it that you're not quite sure what she's thinking here. "What are you feeling in this moment?" You're not quite sure what you're supposed to take away from that, but it's disturbing. Just when you thought it was going to be just "Ooh, the spooky story," he laughs that maniacal laugh and you suddenly are much more concerned and worried and disturbed than you were a moment ago. And it's because he's laughing about it and trying to cover it and yet there's truth to it and it's all about layers of deceit and deception and twisted motives and really, '''really''' screwed up dynamics. And it's '''that''' thought that's more frightening than just the fact that she shot the guy. The frightening thing is that you don't know what the hell any of them are capable of or what any of them are thinking or feeling and '''that''''s a dangerous, dangerous situation.

Battlestar Wiki:Podcast Transcripts

2006-03-22T21:25:38Z

Laineylain: Currently transcribing LDYB2, Act 3

{{project|Podcast Transcripts}}

This project is meant to coordinate and standardize the transcription of Ronald D. Moore's freely available episode podcasts. Our goal is to produce a searchable text repository for purposes of citation. At this time, we will only be transcribing freely available podcasts from [http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/ SciFi.com], not additonal DVD commentaries. Ron D. Moore and David Eick have recorded commentary tracks for the [[Mini-series]] (also including director Michael Rymer), "[[33]]", "[[Bastille Day]]", "[[Act of Contrition]]", and "[[You Can't Go Home Again]]". However, they have not been put up online for free but are only available in the Season 1 DVD set. Therefore, transcripts of these are not provided here, though relevant quotes may be found sourced in certain articles on Battlestar Wiki.

This project is a daughter of the [[Battlestar Wiki:Citation Jihad|Citation Jihad]].

==Standards==

===Namespace===
Podcast transcripts should be named after the episode to which they correspond with the addition of the (podcast) namespace, for example, [[Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down (podcast)]].

===Structure===
Begin each podcast article with the template:
<nowiki>{{podcast|author=YourNameHere|emailAuthor2=|suffix=|additionalCopyright=}}</nowiki>

Use first-level headings to divide Teaser and Act breaks. Make each heading an offsite link to the appropriate podcast segment, e.g.

==[<nowiki>http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/mp3/109/bsg_ep109_1of5.mp3</nowiki> Teaser]==

Try to break up RDMs comments into paragraphs along topical lines.

===Transcription===
RDM frequently uses "uh", "um" and "y'know" as discourse particles. For readabilities sake, try to exclude these where they interrupt the flow of an otherwise grammatical sentence.

Where RDM interrupts himself, end the last word of the first statement with an emdash. You may include whatever discourse particles he uses to introduce the next thought. For example:

"I think it's a very good movie, one that I always thought was a— y'know, prime for us to do a riff on."

Generally, you may ignore emphasis except where RDM's tone is critical to the interpretation of a statement (e.g. sarcasm).

===Links===
Where RDM mentions a BSG episode or character, link to our own article. Where he mentions a television show or actor which we do not have (or need) our own article for, offer a link to the corresponding page on IMDB. If another resource such as Wikipedia or Memory Alpha has more comprehensive information, you may link there at your discression. To avoid overlinking, only link once per act break.

===Corrections===
Except for simple spelling errors, do not offer a "correction" without first having listened to the relevant portion of the recording. Always leave a comment on the talk page explaining your change.

==Checkins==
When you begin work on a transcription, place your name beside the segment you are working on. When you've completed and uploaded it, mark your name next to "Transcribed". Afterwards, it would be helpful for a second user to verify the transcription.

Laineylain: Appropriate Merchandise?

== Category name ==

Wouldn't Merchandise be better? --[[User:Undc23|Undc23]] 02:28, 9 February 2006 (EST)

I am in agreement: "Memorabilia" sounds pretty awkward. Merchanise or something else would be better --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] 02:41, 9 February 2006 (EST)

Uh, I've never actually moved a page before, how do I do it? I can find a move tab on the talk page, but not one on the page itself. I tried going to the one on the talk page, and then just changing the url, but when I submitted the move it gave the the error "Destination title is of a special type; cannot move pages into that namespace." Help? --[[User:Undc23|Undc23]] 07:33, 19 February 2006 (EST)

Anyone? --[[User:Undc23|Undc23]] 00:24, 6 March 2006 (CST)

: There isn't an easy way to do it. What needs to be done first is that the pages currently linked to [[:Category:Memorabilia]] need to be linked to [[:Category:Merchandise]]. After that, just move the description from [[:Category:Memorabilia]] to the new category page. Once all that is done, simply contact [[Battlestar Wiki:Administrators' noticeboard|an administrator]] so that they can delete the category. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] 00:39, 6 March 2006 (CST)

== Appropriate Merchandise? ==

Are non-NBC/Universal items allowed on this list? Someone posted about this [http://www.wizkidsgames.com/battlestar/default.asp collectible card game] in the LiveJournal [http://community.livejournal.com/battlestar_blog/ battlestar_blog] community. -- [[User:Laineylain|Laineylain]] 15:02, 20 March 2006 (CST)

Laineylain: /* Sackhoff speculation

Hey, were they kidding about Edward James Olmos not returning for Season Three? They joked about doing him in CGI instead afterwards so I assume they were kidding [[User:Rocky8311|Rocky8311]] 15:17, 12 March 2006 (CST)

== Br's vs. CRLF's ==
I'm not sure if I was in the right switching the <nowiki> 's</nowiki> carriage returns, but generally we avoid html where possible so I just put the returns in. If the breaks look better, we should use <nowiki> </nowiki>'s instead (as that is XHTML compliant, or some such). Also, I just want to note that as cool as it is to have David Eick's thoughts too, it makes transcribing a LOT more complicated. There were a couple of fragments that are lost with them talking over each other.--[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 13:57, 13 March 2006 (CST)
:OK, sorry about the <nowiki> 's</nowiki>. Didn't know there was a <nowiki> </nowiki> tag. I'll use the double carriage returns from now on. It does look better with the carriage returns, in my opinion. Thanks! Regarding Eick & RDM simultaneously talking, I concur. This episode's transcription is taking a lot longer to do because of it, and it's one and a half times as long as a regular episode. A bit more laborious and time-consuming, but not insurmountable. Carpal tunnel syndrome, here I come! -- [[User:Laineylain|Laineylain]] 14:45, 13 March 2006 (CST)

The current formatting is adequate, in my opinion. There is a standard convention for marking up simultaneous speech in transcript analysis, which I can demonstrate tonight when I have my notes on hand, but it pretty much requires that we switch to a monospace font with fixed column widths, or do some very nasty markup tricks. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 14:50, 13 March 2006 (CST)

== Sackhoff speculation ==
In this podcast they mention that she was dating the starting right guard of the Chiefs. Seeing as how [http://www.kcchiefs.com/player/will_shields/ Will Shields] is pretty married and off the market, they're probably confusing the position with the starting right tackle, [http://www.kcchiefs.com/player/john_welbourn/ John Welbourn]. Not sure if anybody will care, but as a Chiefs fans I knew instantly that they were wrong when they said it was the right guard. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 13:20, 20 March 2006 (CST)
:Thanks for the clarification. I had no idea who they were referring to, although I did suspect it was Welbourn only because I Googled "Katee Sackhoff Chiefs" and came up with [http://www.tv.com/katee-sackhoff/person/3140/trivia.html this (scroll down to # 9)]. Not a reliable source, so I didn't link to it in the podcast. -- [[User:Laineylain|Laineylain]] 13:57, 20 March 2006 (CST)

Battlestar Wiki:Podcast Transcripts

2006-03-19T23:32:12Z

Laineylain: /* Checkins */ Transcribed LDYB 2, Act 2

{{project|Podcast Transcripts}}

This project is meant to coordinate and standardize the transcription of Ronald D. Moore's freely available episode podcasts. Our goal is to produce a searchable text repository for purposes of citation. At this time, we will only be transcribing freely available podcasts from [http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/ SciFi.com], not additonal DVD commentaries. Ron D. Moore and David Eick have recorded commentary tracks for the [[Mini-series]] (also including director Michael Rymer), "[[33]]", "[[Bastille Day]]", "[[Act of Contrition]]", and "[[You Can't Go Home Again]]". However, they have not been put up online for free but are only available in the Season 1 DVD set. Therefore, transcripts of these are not provided here, though relevant quotes may be found sourced in certain articles on Battlestar Wiki.

This project is a daughter of the [[Battlestar Wiki:Citation Jihad|Citation Jihad]].

==Standards==

===Namespace===
Podcast transcripts should be named after the episode to which they correspond with the addition of the (podcast) namespace, for example, [[Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down (podcast)]].

===Structure===
Begin each podcast article with the template:
<nowiki>{{podcast|author=YourNameHere|emailAuthor2=|suffix=|additionalCopyright=}}</nowiki>

Use first-level headings to divide Teaser and Act breaks. Make each heading an offsite link to the appropriate podcast segment, e.g.

==[<nowiki>http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/mp3/109/bsg_ep109_1of5.mp3</nowiki> Teaser]==

Try to break up RDMs comments into paragraphs along topical lines.

===Transcription===
RDM frequently uses "uh", "um" and "y'know" as discourse particles. For readabilities sake, try to exclude these where they interrupt the flow of an otherwise grammatical sentence.

Where RDM interrupts himself, end the last word of the first statement with an emdash. You may include whatever discourse particles he uses to introduce the next thought. For example:

"I think it's a very good movie, one that I always thought was a— y'know, prime for us to do a riff on."

Generally, you may ignore emphasis except where RDM's tone is critical to the interpretation of a statement (e.g. sarcasm).

===Links===
Where RDM mentions a BSG episode or character, link to our own article. Where he mentions a television show or actor which we do not have (or need) our own article for, offer a link to the corresponding page on IMDB. If another resource such as Wikipedia or Memory Alpha has more comprehensive information, you may link there at your discression. To avoid overlinking, only link once per act break.

===Corrections===
Except for simple spelling errors, do not offer a "correction" without first having listened to the relevant portion of the recording. Always leave a comment on the talk page explaining your change.

==Checkins==
When you begin work on a transcription, place your name beside the segment you are working on. When you've completed and uploaded it, mark your name next to "Transcribed". Afterwards, it would be helpful for a second user to verify the transcription.

Podcast:Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II

2006-03-19T23:30:28Z

Laineylain: /* Added LDYB 2, Act 2

{{podcast|author=Laineylain|emailAuthor2=|suffix=|additionalCopyright=and David Eick}}.

==[http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/mp3/220/bsg_ep220_1of7.mp3 Teaser]==

RDM: Hello and welcome to the podcast for episode 20 of epi- of season two. I'm [[Ronald D. Moore]], executive producer and developer of [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|the new "Battlestar Galactica"]].

Eick: And I'm [[David Eick]], court jester.

RDM: And we're here to discuss the season finale. Yes, it's all come down to this, boys and girls. And we have a 90 minute special to go through and lots of ground to cover. This episode really deals with possibly every single plot thread we've established in the show and tries to deal with it in some fashion, which is in part the reason why this ultimately became a 90 minute episode.

Eick: We experienced this a number of times this year, as some of you may know. We broke a story that was intended to be the first episode of the second ten of season two called "[[Resurrection Ship]]", which after [[Michael Rymer]] got done with it, became "[[Resurrection Ship, Part I|Resurrection Ship, Parts 1]] and [[Resurrection Ship, Part II|2]]".

RDM: Almost three.

Eick: And even before that- yeah, almost three- and even before that, "[[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]" wanted to be a 90 minute and we were unable to move the various pieces that were required to make that happen and I think we were just able to get it under the wire as a one hour episode. But this one when it came in, we just knew. There was definitely a two hour version- well, there's definitely a 90 minute version, there might have been a two hour version, but there for sure was not a one hour version.

RDM: Yeah a one hour. 'Cause Rymer's cut- the one that Rymer gave to us was what, 20 something minutes long?

Eick: Yeah. In fact it was a different cut, but it was actually almost exactly this running length.

RDM: Oh, was it?

Eick: Yeah. It would have aired as a 90 minute episode and it was missing things that we missed and felt was needed, and had things in it that we didn't think were as necessary. But it was very clear- because he had been working on it, at that point, for weeks trying to get it down that far. And and so we were- it was nothing but shear panic and alarm at first because when you say to a network, "Well, we got a show that is supposed to air in a one hour slot and we need you to give us more time," the ripple effect of that is pretty cataclysmic. I mean they gotta go to their advertisers, their sales people, and their scheduling people, and it affects other shows and other programming, and so it was a big deal getting them to approve this and you know, thank goodness that they did.

RDM: And we briefly tried to make a two hour version of this which could have been easier for everybody 'cause then you could always carve it up into two discrete episodes. But the two hour by sort of universal agreement dragged. It didn't really have the pace. It just went on too long. And it's still- even then it was still a little short. It didn't quite actually make it to two hours. 
Eick: The other oddity about this structure- and I realized this on the dub stage yesterday- is that they open with the recap and then go right to the main title.

RDM: Yeah, it does.

Eick: Now, I don't know... Is there a commercial after the main title?

RDM: There's a commercial after the main title.

Eick: Oh so the audience doesn't even get any original material before they gotta go to commercial?

RDM: I don't think so, unless they- maybe they restructure it on air which you can tell us. But I believe we go from main title to first commercial break.

Eick: Oh. Well yeah. Please tell a friend not to change the channel during the uh...

RDM: Because I think that was dictated by the way acts had to be structured for 90 minutes, like teaser or whatever it was was so long that it was ridiculous to put the main title, you know, like 12 minutes in or 15 minutes into the show or something.

Eick: I'd also say, just to be totally candid, 'cause I know Ron has spoken and he certainly reflected my opinion as well about some of the episodes in the second half of season two that weren't favorites. And it was really encouraging getting into "[[Downloaded]]" and then to the first part of this episode and now this one, to really kind of get back to what I think excites both of us about the show and a lot of that has to do with the fact that we have Michael Rymer back directing of course.

RDM: Yeah.

Eick: But I'm really proud of this one in particular. This really kind of has, in its own way, all the pathos, all the emotional potency, and a lot of the danger and the darkness that I think make "Battlestar Galactica" a unique show. It's really- it took some doing to get it there, but I think this is definitely one of the better episodes.

RDM: Yeah, I'm very proud of the show. This is a- I like it because ultimately where it goes at the end. It's a risky show. It's pushing the boundaries of what the show is... What your preconceptions of the show should be. By the end of the episode, once we make the giant leap forward, you start feeling like "Oh my God, anything's possible. What are these maniacs doing?" They've really dynamited the entire Galactica universe and started over. That's a really refreshing, fun thing to do in a television series because typically, you're making the same show week in week out, to a large extent. You're not varying the format so much that you're really challenging people, by and large. I mean every sh- that's not an absolute rule. But it's great to be able to really be true to what the premise of the show is, and take it into these sort of different directions periodically.

Eick: Now where- this thing gets published on the internet before the show airs.

RDM: It goes out that day... the same day as the broadcast.

Eick: So are we gonna talk-

RDM: We can talk about- oh yeah, we spoil- I spoil the episode all the time. Anyone who listens to the podcast wants to be spoiled. They're gonna know the whole plot. We can talk about the-

Eick: Alright. We can talk about the fact that [[Tyrol]] ends up in a gay relationship with [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]]...

RDM: Secret, gay forbidden love with Tigh.

Eick: Brokeback Galactica.

RDM: Brokeback Galactica.

(Eick clears throat)

Eick: We definitely were lucky to get the 90 minute because one of the things that had to go if we didn't was this entire Tyrol-[[Cally]] storyline.

RDM: Yeah. Oh the one hour is- I mean we did actually have to cut a one hour- 'cause actually...

Eick: Yeah, for international.

RDM: For international consumption we actually had to do a one hour version and it's almost incomprehensible. And all the joy of this episode is just completely gone. It's just like- races you through little pieces.

Eick: Yeah, and if you happened to see the previous week and you're waiting on the edge of your seat to at least get some sense of closure between Cally and Tyrol after this terrible thing he's done to her, um... you won't be getting any of that. (Laughs).

RDM: No. So for those of you in Spain, I'm really really sorry.

Eick: (Laughing) Sorry.

RDM: Tell your people to buy the 90 minutes from now.

Eick: Um this particular section plays really well for me because, as some of you may know, I'm usually the voice of the 14 year old saying "Don't forget the action." And I love the fact that we open this episode- and this is pretty good combat stuff that Rymer got...

RDM: Yeah, we got some juicy action right there in front of you.

Eick: And that [[IMDB:nm0782890|Andy Seklir]] did a magnificent job cutting together because it's always tough with this stuff. And you know, the show really is not an action show. "Battlestar Galactica" is a show with action elements to it, but because it's not an action show, we're not set up to do days and days of action photography. We don't have a full-time second unit director to mop up action scenes. And so our ability to do action, in some respects, depends on how on our game we are during prep and how good the director is at that particular discipline.

RDM: Mmhmm.

Eick: And I would say action is not Michael Rymer's favorite thing to do. So when he does it really well, I'm very happy. (Laughs) And this is...

RDM: (Laughing) He doesn't like it. Surprising- he's really good at it, but he doesn't especially enjoy it. I think- from- I- I...

Eick: It's very technical.

RDM: I would suspect for maybe the same reasons I don't enjoy writing it. They're not my favorite scenes to write or action scenes. They are very technical. It's about calling out shots. And it's really in the hands of the director to figure out the rhythm of an action scene, when you cut to certain people, what Kara's gonna do, how high she gets up on an obstacle- I mean all these things are very camera-specific. And for a writer, I just don't find them that really intriguing. So I tend to sort of- "'The Civil War begins', he writes". (Laughs)

Eick: Or or or "They enter the arena and race".

RDM: Yes.

Eick: Yeah, they're very difficult to- in fact, uh um- often times they're not only the hardest to write, they're the dreariest to read. And there's nothing good about them except for watching them.

RDM: Yeah, except for watching them. (unintelligible)

Eick: But I think um...

RDM: I love this look on [[Kara]]'s face here at the end of that scene. The way (unintelligible).

Eick: Well honestly a lot of it does come down to the performances. You're as invested in an action scene as the actors are forcing you to be and...

RDM: Yeah, we got really lucky, obviously, with her.

Eick: This was- the first time I saw this episode this was my favorite [[Mary McDonnell]] scene in ages just because it's such a different color for her. (Laughs)

RDM: Oh I know. I love the fact that she finally says "[[frak]]" and she apologizes immediately for it, "I'm sorry my language".

Eick: Also this was the episode where I think we all sort of agree that [[Tory Foster|Tory]] was gonna- was here to stay.

RDM: Yeah.

Eick: She's a really interesting character. She's a very different energy than [[Billy]] was. I love the way Mary plays against her.

RDM: Tory's somebody we should find the first couple of episodes the next season. Yeah, what happened to Tory during the occupation?

Eick: Yeah, I have that note actually.

RDM: Do you? Oh good! We're actually- as we speak, David and I, just before the podcast began we were discussing episodes one and two of season three because I've written the first drafts of the first two episodes and we're starting to sort of figure out exactly what season three is. Yeah, Tory. We should do something with Tory.

Eick: Yeah, yeah. She's a really nice foil in a way- in her own way- for the [[Laura Roslin|Laura]] character, where as Billy was sort of a professional sycophant. I mean it was always impressive when he would stand up to her but it was a big shift for him. I think in a way we're playing the opposite rhythm with Tory.

RDM: Yeah, Tory's more her own woman.

Eick: She's gonna be in Laura's face, maybe in some respects more than Laura wants her to be.

RDM: Yeah, I like that. I like that aspect of the character and she's capable of some nasty shit too. I mean she's gonna - due to the election stuff coming up here.

Eick: Yeah.

RDM: This is like an example of the art department doing a lot with very little. They had no budget to do this with. I think I wrote in the script that they were in a [[wikipedia:redoubt|redoubt]], I called it, or a [[wikipedia:Bunker#Pillbox|pillbox]] or something that uh-

Eick: First time I've ever heard that word. Redoubt. (higher voice) Redoubt.

RDM: And [[Samuel Anders|Anders]] and his guys had some fallback position way up on this mountain, and there was literally almost nothing in the budget to make this thing, whatever it was and [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0399750/ Richard Hudolin] like tearing out his hair a little bit. But then they just came up with this very simple sort of wall which kind of communicates a fortified position without having to actually build a gigantic thing that would break the budget.

Eick: [[IMDB:nm0874001|Michael Trucco]] who plays Anders is someone who's also gonna be back in season three and really has integrated himself in the cast in an interesting way. He's got a great scene coming up later with Kara and [[Lee Adama|Lee]]. I think it's always interesting when you introduce a new actor into a dynamic that you're used to seeing a very certain way, it's hard for them not to stick out.

RDM: Yeah.

Eick: Here you've got [[Helo]] and Kara and Anders here and I would say he sort of seemlessly weaves in. You don't really feel it.

RDM: Yeah, and I like it when he gets back to ''Galactica''. We'll talk about that later but I think this is the episode I like the Anders- Anders the best. I think I really grew to really like the character and the actor in this episode most of all.

RDM: Cylon-occupied [[wikipedia:Vancouver|Vancouver]].

Eick: Yes, it's certainly a city and series of locations that we've shot the hell out of.

RDM: Oh my gosh.

Eick: This is of course [[The_Twelve_Colonies_%28RDM%29#Caprica|Caprica]]. It's also [[Kobol]]. It's also going to be [[New Caprica]], which you'll see at the end of the episode. And coming up with different ways to shoot it and different ways to dress it and different angles on it has become a big job for our director of photography, [[IMDB:nm0002323|Stephen McNutt]], whose- y'know, God the poor guy's got- (Laughs)

RDM: Oh my God, I know. We just beat up Steve all the time.

Eick: Well y'know, we try to say things like "Well, y'know, Caprica's kind of burnt orange because of the post-nuclear fallout and Kobol is really lush and green. Isn't that enough?" (Laughs)

RDM: Yup. This little B here is a little problematic, I always found. This didn't quite read the way- I think this is a script issue, but the idea was a lot of people come out of their little fortified position and one of them turns out to be [[Cavil|Brother Cavil]]. Doesn't quite- there's a problem as they all turn around and look up at him they look a little bit more surprised than they probably should.

Eick: Yeah as if he's a sudden...

RDM: As if he's a sudden appearance and that wasn't the concept. But you're sort of over and past it in enough time to sort of get the idea.

==[http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/mp3/220/bsg_ep220_2of7.mp3 Act 1]==

RDM: This is a great little scene. This is one of my favorite Laura scenes.

Eick: I for- this was such a good scene.

RDM: It's such a good scene.

Eick: I forgot that it was in the script

RDM: I know. I did too.

Eick: I remember sitting there watching, going "What the hell is this?".

RDM: I wrote it and I was sort of like "Well, it's an ok little scene and y'know he- she tries to convince him and talk it out." It was kind of forgettable and then I saw it and I was like "Wow!"

Eick: It's like an homage to [[wikipedia:All the President's Men (film)|All the President's Men]]. It's the first thing I thought when I saw it... the [[wikipedia:Hal Holbrook|Hal Holbrook]] stuff in the garage, y'know.

RDM: It's really interesting. Yeah. The way he chose to stage this, putting her in shadow, her sitting down.

Eick: In the script did it say all the lights are off?

RDM: I don't think so. I don't think it did at all.

Eick: That's what threw me off.

RDM: I think he just walked in- I think in the script he just walked in and he didn't see anybody at first and she kinda just stepped out of the bathroom or something.

Eick: But it's another scene- I mean this is- we're right now putting the show up for various awards and they want to know what our selects are. And Ron and I were talking about "Well what- you know we definitely want to push Mary McDonnell for Best Actress, so which episode do you choose?" And first blush you say "[[Epiphanies]]" which was an early episode in season two because it was like the Laura episode and "What was Laura doing before the attack?" and all this kind of stuff. Honestly we looked at this- this is her strongest work of the year. It really is.

RDM: Yeah, this is a good good episode for Mary. And there's a beat here- (background noise of what sounds like a toilet flushing) That would be the bathroom. (RDM & Eick laugh) We're in my office today by the way. There's no garbage trucks, but there is a bathroom.

Eick: There is, however, [[wikipedia:scotch whiskey|scotch]].

RDM: There is scotch and I'm about to completely break the law and smoke in here. Come and get me, Arnold!

(Eick laughs)

RDM: When he- when she says "The-" uh, we have the sound turned down so it's always- it's hard to- oh no, we were past it. There was a beat there where she says "I think settlement on the planet is the most important thing to face humanity" and Baltar just sits back and stares at her for a long time and then he finally says "Ok, you're right."

Eick: Yeah! (Laughs)

RDM: There's something so great about that like you don't know what he's gonna do. And then he kind of has to concede the point even as Baltar, he has to sort of "Yeah, ok you're right." (Lights cigarette)

Eick: Well, I wish it was [[wikipedia:Super Bowl|Super Bowl Sunday]], I could have one of those with ya.

RDM: It's the season finale, doesn't that count?

Eick: No.

RDM: You can do one on the Super Bowl and one on the season- Dave is an ex-smoker. I'm a recent smoker.

Eick: I'm an ex-smoker, I get one a year. Ron's a re-smoker, we call him.

RDM: I'm a re- recent smoker. I've only been smoking for a couple years. There's been endless discussion on the podcast, by the way, of me smoking. [[IMDB:nm0237499|Terry]] was a guest star last week.

Eick: Was she?

RDM: And she was busting my chops about smoking because I've got into this habit of watching the show and podcasting and chainsmoking through it. It's now literally the place I smoke the most. I now smoke more during the podcast than-

Eick: So were it not for these podcasts, you might have made it to 50.

RDM: That's right!

Eick: Oh well, anything for the show.

RDM: Anything for my fans.

Eick: (Laughing sarcastically) "My fans."

RDM: My people. My- my- my peeps.

RDM: And we talked a lot about whether this moment should happen or not... Whether Laura should-

Eick: Well it was out in the first cut.

RDM: It was out in the first cut. When she calls him on the y'know, "I saw you with a blonde woman on Caprica."

Eick: But isn't it interesting though, and Rym- I'm gonna bust Rymer's balls on this, he always cuts the stuff that's like the best stuff he does.

RDM: Yeah.

Eick: Like that transition right there where [[Six]] is suddenly there...

RDM: I know. It's a great transition.

Eick: It gives me chills every time I watch it. It's really effective. And he did that- and now I have to admit, even though I think a lot of it was about execution, I- there were a variety of different versions in the previous episode of Mary cracking up laughing- she cracks up laughing.

RDM: Yeah, that's right.

Eick: And there were versions of it that I hated because there were so- I just thought they were awkwardly done. And Ron and I were in the editing room and literally the editor sped by some piece that had been omitted and it was perfect! It was like exactly the moment that made it work. I don't know, I think- you know what it is? We're giving him too much time in the editing room. You gotta kick him out.

RDM: You gotta kick him out.

Eick: He's overthinking. He's cutting out his best stuff.

RDM: He gets there and he starts to worry that it's not working. He shoots amazing stuff though. This scene was gonna be gone too. I mean all this- all the texture of the show was going to have to be gone if we had to actually made this an hour. I like this little thing with [[Ellen]] and Tigh and the deal that they make in their marriage, because there was something important to me about saying that they- really it's a completely screwed up, dysfunctional marriage but it works for them. And they come to this place where Ellen says "How long?" and he says, "A year." Ok, whatever, a year! And she actually stands by him. Ironically, fine at the other side of the job.

Eick: But you know, we cut the year.

RDM: Oh we cut the year?

Eick: Yeah. (Laughs)

RDM: Oh, well ignore me then. I got a rewrite project. I'll rewrite episode one, like, right now!

Eick: That was one of my moves to get us the time, buddy.

RDM: That's what you're doing on the dub side?

Eick: There's no more- There's no more reference to one year.

RDM: Oh yeah. "Shortly later..." "A little while afterwards..."

Eick: No, what's great about that scene though- is that he- was that the scene where he says "Go on, cat a round."

RDM: Yeah, "Go cat around."

Eick: I love that because you're suddenly aware of the fact that Tigh knows.

RDM: He knows! He knows!

Eick: And it's great because you realize that they've got this unholy alliance where they sort of understand each other.

RDM: He knows who he's married to! He knows. This is a great little beat too. I like this. I wrote this in the script that this is Kara having to introduce the new boyfriend to her father.

Eick: Yeah, I love that too.

RDM: And I like the fact that he says "I'm more of a [[Picon Panthers]] fan, myself." (Laughs) He couldn't resist!

Eick: Yeah, I know. I don't know if you agree with this... This is one of those scenes that came out exactly the way I imagined it when I read it.

RDM: Yeah, actually, me too. I did.

Eick: Her awkwardness about having to introduce him to Adama.

RDM: Even camera-side... like she's on the left, he's on the right, is the way I pictured it in my mind. That's one of those things that I almost always get wrong.

Eick: Yeah, it never works out the way you imagine.

Eick: This is um- Yeah, [[code blue]].

RDM: Code blue.

Eick: Isn't that a colloquialism of our- I mean-

RDM: It's something from a hospital. You hear them yell "code blue" a lot.

Eick: Code blue, I guess-

RDM: This is one of those technical terms, I was just like "OK, and he would yell- wouldn't there be something if you saw a Cylon and you knew it you would just scream-"

Eick: What is code red then? Is code-

RDM: I avoided red just 'cause of the Star Trek reference to it so-

Eick: Oh, 'cause people in red shirts die or something?

RDM: No, red alert is like the thing.

Eick: Oh is that what they say on Star Trek?

RDM: (In cartoonish voice) Alert! (Makes alarm noises) [[wikipedia:Red Alert (Star Trek)|Red alert]]!

Eick: I see.

RDM: David's never seen [[wikipedia:Star Trek|Star Trek]].

Eick: I've never actually- I heard it's a good show.

RDM: Some of you should actually send David the DVD sets of the entire Star Trek series.

Eick: (Laughs) Well, who knows, I might start ripping that off too.

Eick: The other performance in this episode that I really love is [[Grace Park]].

RDM: Oh I know. She's really good.

Eick: She's got the hardest job- she and [[Tricia Helfer]] I think have got the hardest jobs on this show because they have to play, not multiple characters 'cause actors have done that and you can sort of make certain choices and go in certain extreme directions and pull that off.

==[http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/mp3/220/bsg_ep220_3of7.mp3 Act 2]==

(Sound of a drink being poured)

Eick: Everyone hear that? That's Dad pouring apple juice.

RDM: And what are we drinking today, David?

Eick: This would be the [[wikipedia:Johnnie Walker|Johnny Walker Blue Label]].

RDM: David really- this is on his dime. He brought in Johnny Walker Blue.

Eick: This is, afterall, the season finale.

RDM: It is the season finale. Did we do Kobol last year? Together?

Eick: No. We did season one together... the finale then.

RDM: That's right, Kobol was the end of season one.

Eick: Oh, what-

RDM: This is season two.

Eick: Oh. We haven't done three yet? Jesus Christ!

RDM: No. We're working on three.

Eick: Yeah, I guess we did.

RDM: Well it's confusing too, because we had that midseason break.

Eick: Yeah.

(Sounds of Johnny Walker Blue being poured)

Eick: But I like Grace- I should've mentioned earlier- I like her in- that look she has in her face when they're moving through the forest and you're not sure-

RDM: Yeah, whose side she's on (unintelligible)

Eick: ... which side she's on, or if she's just terrified, is she worried because she might get taken out by one of her own people. And this glare right here she gives Helo is just so powerful.

RDM: Yeah.

Eick: Grace is not someone who had done a lot of this before "Battlestar Galactica".

RDM: No.

Eick: It's not her first job, but she's not Mary McDonnell.

RDM: She wasn't Mary.

Eick: And it's really been great- and I've said this before- but she in a lot of ways gets the "Most Improved" award for the year. Not because she wasn't great in the miniseries and in season one, but she took it so seriously.

RDM: Yeah, she really did.

Eick: She just dove into the training and really, really embraced the opportunity that she saw for herself and it's been great seeing her grow.

RDM: This scene is one of my favorite Kara-slash-[[Katee Sackhoff|Katee]] scenes. This makes me love her. This just sort of-

Eick: In many ways because she's as hateful as she's ever been! And you just...

RDM: I know, it's as hateful as she's ever been and yet there's something so pure about it and I get why you would fall in love with her and she's such a kid on some level. She's just this kid who's drunk and ha- This is the happiest she's ever been.

Eick: Yeah. Yeah.

RDM: I think this is the happiest we've ever seen this character.

Eick: I think the reason you like her here is because she is human.

RDM: She's very human.

Eick: She's definitely in an indulgent moment. She's not thinking about anything except her own thrilled happiness at having this guy back. And I think everyone's been in all three of these positions.

RDM: Yeah.

Eick: We've all been the person thrilled to have our lover back with us. We've all been that guy or girl thrilled to be had back. And we've ALL been Lee, coveting and watching and wishing.

RDM: Yeah, we've all been Lee... like, "Oh shit. There's my old girlfriend, or at least the girl I had the crush on, and she's with the other guy."

Eick: It's a really- it's a really well done scene.

RDM: I remember when they read this at the table read. And this particular table read, they got this this version of the script literally as they were all sitting down, so they read these scenes cold.

Eick: That's right.

RDM: And Katee reading this scene, kept laughing throughout it as she was saying these lines. Later, Rymer tells me, "Well that's how Katee is with her boyfriends. She IS like that! That's just Katee!"

(Eick laughs)

RDM: I go "Really?" He said, "Yeah, she kinda is like that... 'That's my property over there.'" Katee, by the way, is dating an enormous- what is he, a tackle? Guard?

Eick: Well, Katee WAS dating the starting right guard for the [[wikipedia:Kansas City Chiefs|Kansas City Chiefs]].

RDM: Oh "was". And she's not anymore?

Eick: Yes. That has since gone on the wane.

RDM: Oh, well sorry. This hap- see I'm three steps behind on this kind of shit.

Eick: If you hang out with Katee for long enough, which is to say if you hang out with Katee for about ten minutes, you'll hear exactly what's going on with her love life...

(Both laugh)

Eick: ... by minute two!

RDM: I like this too. He leaves and she just kinda goes, "Where'd he go? What's the matter?"

Eick: Oh yeah. Yes. No, I was actually proud of this cut because this scene used to go on a lot longer.

RDM: Yeah, this one- he picked her up, carried her off to the bed. It just went on a little too long. Yeah, that kept going. This is one of my favorite scenes in the show. I really like this one- Cavil...

Eick: Oh yeah, and she- again, I hate to keep harping on Mary, but she's really good in this too.

RDM: Well, what's really interesting to me is I've done a lot of scenes like this, where you have two characters in a split- we'd do this all the time at Trek. There'd be the duplicates and they would have to act in the scene together. And I've seen that convention many, many times. I swear to God, this is the best I've ever seen it because [[IMDB:nm0001777|Dean Stockwell]], if you watch him, he is reacting in what seems like real time to himself and Dean had just planned every little beat of this sequence. [[Harvey Frand|Harvey]] and Michael Rymer were both telling me "God, I cannot believe Dean. He just seemed to have it all wired." Everything from his eyeline, looking around the guy, the looks, and the pauses. He knew exactly what the timing was on this kind of thing and I just think it's a great piece of work.

Eick: It's one of the things you realize when you work with someone like [[Edward James Olmos|Eddie]] and Mary in relationships with a lot of the others who are so new is that when you've been doing this kind of thing a while there are tricks of the trade that you just can't teach, it's just something that comes with experience. Dean Stockwell is someone who's been doing this like the 1920's or something. (Laughs)

RDM: Oh I know.

Eick: His list of credits is like a mile long.

RDM: He's literally the old pro from Dover.

Eick: Yeah, and he- he- so- but he was also someone who is just a consummate pro. Every comma in the script, by the way, he hit. There's no embellishing about it.

RDM: I got no notes from- Dean never had a note. He just did the script, but he did it so exquisitely well. You know where that phrase comes from, "The old pro from Dover"? Do you know that reference?

Eick: I was pretending to.

RDM: "The old pro from Dover" is actually from ''MASH''. From the- Either from- I think it's definitely from the book [[wikipedia:M*A*S*H (novels)|''MASH'']] and I think it's in the movie [[wikipedia:MASH (film)|''MASH'']]. It's this weird thing about- "We're the old pros from Dover!" when they come into the hospital in Tokyo. (Eick laughs) Just some phrase they had or a hooker had about guys that were considered "the old pro from Dover"... somebody of incredible competence that just shows up.

Eick: You mean [[wikipedia:Trapper John McIntyre|Trapper]].

RDM: Yeah, they're referring to Trap- well, Trapper and [[wikipedia:Hawkeye Pierce|Hawkeye]]. When they go to the hospital in Tokyo...

Eick: Right.

RDM: ... to go operate on the Congressman's son or something, they show up and say "Yeah, we're the old pros from Dover. We're here to fix up the Congressman's son and hit the links a little bit."

Eick: But it hasn't commonly become colloquial, you're just imposing it on us.

RDM: No, it's an "in" reference.

Eick: So yeah, Dean's coming back. Dean will be back next year.

RDM: Yeah. Dean enjoyed himself. He had a good time on the show.

Eick: Eddie, however, won't be. We should point out that in this point in the show...

RDM: No, Eddie won't be with us.

Eick: ... there will be no more Edward James Olmos.

RDM: But we are gonna have an animated version of Ed. (Eick laughs) An all CGI Edward for Season Three. It's a bold departure.

Eick: That's like [[wikipedia:Brando|Brando]]. Didn't he make the argument for [[wikipedia:Superman: The Movie|Superman]] that he should just do it all as a voice, that way he wouldn't have to show up for his million dollars?

RDM: Yeah, I think so.

Eick: See how- see, she's so great here.

RDM: She's so great. "Throw him out the airlock."

Eick: The old "Throw him out the airlock."

(Both laugh.)

RDM: Laura can't wait to say that!

Eick: It's becoming her "walk it off".

RDM: It's really like her "walk it off".

(Both laugh.)

== Spam Blizzard of '06 ==
There's quite a lot of spamming going on. Could they all be the same person? Why would anyone do that?, it's not clever.--[[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 18:20, 9 March 2006 (EST)
:Likely the same person or small group of people. The [[Special:Ipblocklist|IP Block List]] shows multiple attempts at accessing after the blocks. And (as you've probably noticed) it's all the same junk. I'm surprised they don't move on to less heavily patrolled waters. This place is pretty active, and their changed are undone fairly quickly (unless they're happy having the links in the history). I've dropped Joe a note, so hopefully it'll get dealt with). --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 17:07, 9 March 2006 (CST)
::Perhaps the expiry date of the blocks should be moved from 'a week' to 'indefinitely.'--[[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 15:05, 10 March 2006 (EST)
:::Generally we're pretty cautious about handing out indefinite blocks. However, I guess a 10+ strikes and you're out policy probably wouldn't be considered all that rash. I was tempted to do indefinite blocks on these guys earlier, but I was pretty annoyed at the time and didn't want to rush to judgement. However, since a voice of reason agrees (and I've had some time to cool off) then I'll set about with the block fest. It'll take a bit... --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 13:47, 10 March 2006 (CST)
::::Done. (Also... I'm archiving, so everything older than this thread is getting wiped. Don't be alarmed.) --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 14:09, 10 March 2006 (CST)
:::::For future reference, it is O.K. by me if you block spammers indefinitely. Also, I am setting up a process where people have to authenticate their e-mail addresses prior to editing, so that should be up fairly soon. Just FYI. More at 11:05. :-) -- [[User:Zantor|Zantor]] 14:52, 10 March 2006 (CST)

:::::::<s>Haha! Sockpuppetry! Burn the heretic!</s> Ehm... Zantor is just an account I was using to test the e-mail required process when creating an account. All I have to do now is enable the e-mail confirmation process, so that should thwart the person or persons entirely. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] 15:03, 10 March 2006 (CST)
::::::::That's what I figured. I guess the checkuser showed too dynamic an ip range to range block? --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 15:05, 10 March 2006 (CST)

== Note to Self ==
When going on a blocking spree... don't start with yourself. It is interesting to note that the block in no way affects your ability to block, however. You just can't edit. Sometimes you have to learn things the hard way. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 14:33, 10 March 2006 (CST)

== Japanese articles ==

Hey SV, as you already know I have been creating some articles in Japanese. When I was just starting I made a couple mistakes. Unfortunately I messed up the titles of the pages, so we have links to pages that really aren't needed and should be, if I may quote from Stewie, "Eliminated." Here are the links that I would appreciate being destroyed:

:1)

:2)

::These links were created incorrectly. #1 has a space between the jp: and the title, I did not do that on any of the other episode guide titles. It can be redirected to this link if you can't eliminate the page: [[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I/jp:あんたの負担を落とす, 部分一]]. #2 is incorrect because Part I does not jive with the ending of the title in Japanese: 部分 (ニ)=2. So the second link if it can't be destroyed can be redirected to: [[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II/jp:あんたの負担を落とす, 部分ニ].

Thanks a lot for your assistance!--Zareck Rocks 17:59, 10 March 2006 (CST)
:By your command. (You may want to delete the dead links now that they've been "Eliminated.") --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 18:18, 10 March 2006 (CST)
::Thanks a lot! --Zareck Rocks 18:20, 10 March 2006 (CST)

::::Not a problem. That's what we do. Looks like you're making a lot of ground. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 22:12, 10 March 2006 (CST)

== Podcast, Res. Ship, Part 1, Act 4 ==

Great work with the podcast transcription, SV! Something so minor that I hate to even mention it, but for the multipart episodes I use [http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/episodes Sci Fi's episode list] as my guide for the titling of episodes (i.e. using Part 1 and 2 instead of Part I and II). So when I verified your podcast, I changed the "I's" and "II's" to "One's" or "Two's" and used the long hand version just to err on the side of caution with regards to the [[Battlestar_Wiki:Standards_and_Conventions#Spelling_and_Numbers|Standards and Conventions]]. If I'm in error, let me know. -- [[User:Laineylain|Laineylain]] 22:35, 16 March 2006 (CST)

Battlestar Wiki:Podcast Transcripts

2006-03-17T04:20:49Z

Laineylain: /* Checkins */ Verified Res. Ship, Act 4

{{project|Podcast Transcripts}}

This project is meant to coordinate and standardize the transcription of Ronald D. Moore's freely available episode podcasts. Our goal is to produce a searchable text repository for purposes of citation. At this time, we will only be transcribing freely available podcasts from [http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/ SciFi.com], not additonal DVD commentaries. Ron D. Moore and David Eick have recorded commentary tracks for the [[Mini-series]] (also including director Michael Rymer), "[[33]]", "[[Bastille Day]]", "[[Act of Contrition]]", and "[[You Can't Go Home Again]]". However, they have not been put up online for free but are only available in the Season 1 DVD set. Therefore, transcripts of these are not provided here, though relevant quotes may be found sourced in certain articles on Battlestar Wiki.

This project is a daughter of the [[Battlestar Wiki:Citation Jihad|Citation Jihad]].

==Standards==

===Namespace===
Podcast transcripts should be named after the episode to which they correspond with the addition of the (podcast) namespace, for example, [[Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down (podcast)]].

===Structure===
Begin each podcast article with the template:
<nowiki>{{podcast|author=YourNameHere|emailAuthor2=|suffix=|additionalCopyright=}}</nowiki>

Use first-level headings to divide Teaser and Act breaks. Make each heading an offsite link to the appropriate podcast segment, e.g.

==[<nowiki>http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/mp3/109/bsg_ep109_1of5.mp3</nowiki> Teaser]==

Try to break up RDMs comments into paragraphs along topical lines.

===Transcription===
RDM frequently uses "uh", "um" and "y'know" as discourse particles. For readabilities sake, try to exclude these where they interrupt the flow of an otherwise grammatical sentence.

Where RDM interrupts himself, end the last word of the first statement with an emdash. You may include whatever discourse particles he uses to introduce the next thought. For example:

"I think it's a very good movie, one that I always thought was a— y'know, prime for us to do a riff on."

Generally, you may ignore emphasis except where RDM's tone is critical to the interpretation of a statement (e.g. sarcasm).

===Links===
Where RDM mentions a BSG episode or character, link to our own article. Where he mentions a television show or actor which we do not have (or need) our own article for, offer a link to the corresponding page on IMDB. If another resource such as Wikipedia or Memory Alpha has more comprehensive information, you may link there at your discression. To avoid overlinking, only link once per act break.

===Corrections===
Except for simple spelling errors, do not offer a "correction" without first having listened to the relevant portion of the recording. Always leave a comment on the talk page explaining your change.

==Checkins==
When you begin work on a transcription, place your name beside the segment you are working on. When you've completed and uploaded it, mark your name next to "Transcribed". Afterwards, it would be helpful for a second user to verify the transcription.

==[http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/mp3/211/bsg_ep211_1of5.mp3 Teaser]==

Hello, and welcome to the podcast for episode eleven, "[[Resurrection Ship, Part I]]". I'm [[Ronald D. Moore]], executive producer and developer of the new [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Battlestar Galactica]], and this would be the first podcast of [[season 2|season 2.5]], or 2.1, or whatever we're calling it currently.

"Resurrection Ship" is an interesting episode in that it did not begin life as a two-parter. I've often talked on these podcasts of our great difficulty in maintaining our time limitations on the show. We often found ourselves with episodes that are running ridiculously long, longer than anticipated. No matter what our best efforts at holding the line at the script stage and even on the stage, we often get into the cutting room and find episodes that are wildly over length. And this one in particularly was a good twenty minutes long. Twenty minutes is really long. It's a lot to cut out of a show. That's essentially like two full acts, if you think of an act as being roughly like ten minutes in length. And what happened this time around— we ran into a similar problem, some of you might recall, in "[[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]", the season fin— the finale of [[season 2|season 2.0]] or whatever, that we did four months ago. And in that situation we were sort of able to carve out the bare essentials of the show, make something that was exciting and dynamic, and still preserve sort of the longer version of "Pegasus" for video release. This time out, we opted to go a different direction. We really felt that completely cutting— completely eviscerating the show by cutting twenty minutes out was wrong, and this time another option sort of opened up before us.

We realized that actually, this show— this particular episode, "Resurrection Ship", in the original incarnation, lent itself pretty well to simply dividing it in half and creating two full episodes. The act two break of the original "Resurrection Ship" is the end of this particular episode. And this episode ends with the assassination plan. Pic— I almost said "[[MemoryAlpha:Jean-Luc-Picard Picard|Picard]]", that was very close— [[William Adama|Adama]] plotting to kill [[Helena Cain|Cain]] simultaneous with Cain plotting to kill Adama was the act two break in the script, and in the original cut. Because the show lent itself so neatly to simply chopping it in half, we were really able to make two dynamic, interesting episodes about it. Instead of having to cut out all the guts of the things that we love, we were able to preserve everything that we liked, and also because neither episode was quite up to time, we had a chance to actually go back and shoot additional scenes.

This made everybody happy. We were happy, the director was happy, cast, crew, the network; it really worked out to everybody's benefit and we got a lot more bang for the buck, and we were able to go in and really sort of goose up additional scenes that we sort of thought were lacking even back at the script stage, and then really flesh out the whole show.

This particular sequence being one of them. In the original draft and in the original cut of "Resurrection Ship", you never saw this mission of [[Kara Thrace|Kara]]'s. Kara simply went off camera in "Pegasus", did this stealth thing, did this recon mission against the Cylon fleet, and then she showed up sort of in the middle of the battle. The way it was structured, the original sort of tease for "Resurrection Ship" was you were sort of in the middle of the would-be dogfight, the fighters are cruising at each other, "what are they gonna do? what are they gonna do?", and suddenly in the middle of it all, "oh my god, [[Dradis]] contact, there's a Cylon coming at us, what are we gonna do?", it breaks up the whole fight, the [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]]s turn to go after the new intruder, and "oh!", it turns out to be Starbuck. And then you sort of fill in, "oh, she went on the recon mission, you might have forgottten, blah blah blah." It was okay. It would've worked, but it wasn't as good as being able to ''see'' the recon mission. In this case, you kind of did want to go see the [[Blackbird|stealth ship]] do its thing, for once. So by shooting additional scenes were were then able to go in, shoot this stuff in the cockpit with Kara, and then we had some additional funds available because were creating another whole episode to do some neat visual effects work to really go see the [[Resurrection Ship]].

This whole sequence was with the two groups of Vipers going at each other was something we went— we labored on for a very long time both in script and in visual effects world. There were a lot of different variations of this, of y'know, what would the fighters do when they encountered, how do you track the fighters, one against the other, what would the dynamics of the fight be... there was even a version we considered at the script stage where they actually did shoot at one another, where the Vipers started opening up at each other and actually exchange gunfire at each other for a few moments before Kara's stealth ship came in. But ultimately I kind of felt that once these guys actually pull a trigger, and once these guys actually shoot at each other, there was really no going back from that. That there was no way that they would ever really be able to get along with each other every again in any kind of realistic way, so I was glad we pulled that out.

This whole little bit here, with [[Lee Adama|Lee]] and [[Cole Taylor|Stinger]] in the cockpit— you'll note that this is one of the last times that you see stinger, unfortunately, in "Resurrection Ship", which is kind of too bad, but the actor wasn't available to us beyond this, so he shot this little piece, and he wasn't available when we wanted to then later go back and do some additional scene work with him. Which is kind of a shame, because the antagonism between he and Lee in particular, and he and Kara, was really nice in "Pegasus".

This little beat was something that we were able to restore, the sort of game of Chicken we were able to restore between [[Narcho]] and [[Louanne Katraine|Kat]]. We were able to put that back in when we did the big re-cut. It's also sort of an interesting dynamic forming here where we're starting to start to establish that Kat is the next hotshot pilot behind Starbuck, which will play very strongly in subsequent episodes, especially episode— what used to be episode fourteen, and what is now episode fifteen, called "[[Scar]]", which will be coming up later this season.

That's a great shot. The vipers chasing each other's tail, Kara coming in, getting the message from Starbuck. All this was sort of in the original draft, this whole little sequence was shot as part of the original movie. You'll notice that there's quite a bit of cockpit stuff. The stealth fighter was really sort of boosted for this episode, they did some additional work on the consoles to really get it moving so that we could really have a full blown fighter to go play all these scenes in.

Back into CIC with Admiral Cain here, and then you have Fisk. This was all part of the original section. Again, I had this idea that originally Kara, when she showed up in the stealth Blackbird, that she would do something that would— specific that would send out a signal. She was gonna flare her engines, she was gonna send out some kind of TECH{{ref|tech}} pulse, there was going to be some bit of whole little techno-nonsense that was gonna make her simulate like a Cylon. It all became a lot of mumbo-jumbo, and it was always kind of hard to figure out what exactly she was doing, and it's just better that she simply shows up on DRADIS, and you just kind of get it, y'know? This is— a lot of times where you just over-think what you're trying to accomplish, and the audience kind of follows it regardless, they just kind of get it. It's like, "okay, Apollo sent her a message, she did something, and now they all think that she's a Cylon." You really don't have to get into to all the techno stuff about exactly how and why that sort of thing happened.

There was— now when this was one episode, when "Resurrection Ship" was one episode, it actually opened differently. It didn't open with us coming right back into the cliffhanger moment from "Pegasus". It opened with a completely different sequence that is actually now the beginning of [[Resurrection Ship, Part II|Part II of "Resurrection Ship"]], which was namely a shot of Lee Adama, which I guess I can't give away, because hey, you haven't seen Part II yet. For those of you who are picking up the podcast on the internet, I guess I won't spoil it for you. But suffice it to say, when you to to "Resurrection Ship, Part II", the opening sequence of "Resurrection Ship, Part II", was once the opening of the sequence of "Resurrection Ship" ''[[Wikipedia:List_of_Latin_phrases_%28F–O%29#I|in toto]]''.

All this sort of live video interactive stuff had to be done very quickly on the fly, as you might imagine. Usually visual effects has time to go out and work up designs on these ships, and work up all the various sort of schematics, and you can play around with what exactly the ships are like and how they behave, and all that. This time we needed live, on-screen video. By and large we tend to avoid what are called burn-ins, where you are matting in a visual effects shot into somebody's screen on ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]''. It's just something that we tend to avoid to give all these sort of— it frees up the camera movement, it makes the— everything feel— have a little more sense of verisimilitude, it's just more ''real'', ultimately. So we do tend to avoid burn-ins. We've done them on occasion, and we tend to do them more often in the Viper cockpits where you don't notice, but when you're walking around CIC in situations like this, to do a burn-in is kind of distracting because the camera has to be locked down, and it kind of limits everything, it becomes another visual effects shot that you have to then count, and account for with your money, and blah blah blah, and it's all kind of a big pain in the ass. But anyway, that just means that the visual effects guys have to have these designs up and running quickly, so there's enough time for the graphic artists to come up with the exact monitor shots that we're using throughout. So we had to lock into the design of the Resurrection Ship very early.

Now this is a later insert, this little piece of business here, where bah-boom— you go in and there's all these naked [[Number Six|Sixes]] hanging out in the resurrection ship, which is such a great act-out. [[Gary Hutzel]], who is our visual effects supervisor, was really tickled on the idea that we were gonna have all these naked Sixes hanging out in the Resurrection Ship, and he needed more time to work that shot up, to make that shot work, so that was something that he actually slipped in after all the footage was shot, that was like a later insert that was shot as a separate piece. You saw sort of some hair there at the left of frame, and that was not [[IMDB:nm0000405|Michelle Forbes]], that was sort of a photo double.

And we're into the boom-boom-boom, to the percussive, and now we'll go to act one.

It occurs to me that I haven't done one of these podcasts in several months, and I'm a little out of practice on doing these. Usually I'm a little bit more in the game, 'cause you've just been sort of in the game longer as you're doing all these podcasts one after the other, and you get into a rhythm. And I haven't done this in a while, so it's kind of interesting to come back into the show; it is sort of like getting back into the season after a long break.

"Resurrection Ship" was shot after our hiatus. We took a hiatus in the middle of summer for about four weeks, to give everybody on the cast and crew a little break, and it was also an opportunity for the writing staff to sort of catch up on the scripts. This particular episode was going through a lot of changes. We went through a lot of sort of permutations of exactly how the storyline was going to resolve itself. We always knew that [[Helena Cain|Cain]]'s fate, which I won't give away, was already something that was in the story outline very early on, so we kind of knew what was going to happen, if not the— exactly how or who was going to responsible for what happens to Cain at the very end, but we kind of knew where that was going.

The biggest changes that happened in the story outline and in the script that we kept wrestling with was sort of an outgrowth of this scene.

Here we've got [[Laura Roslin|Laura]] and [[William Adama|Adama]] and Cain in a political struggle at the very top. And we had notions early on about— that the stru— of making Laura a bigger player just in terms of the politics of what's going on here, that Cain in the original story and original script had a plant to attack the [[Resurrection Ship|Resurrection]] fleet, and part of her tactic was to use the civilian fleet as a decoy. That idea is still in this episode, but a key difference was that in the early days, Cain was going to, um— Cain required civilian ships to purposely sort of set themselves up as bait, and she needed Laura to approve it, and it all came down to sort of an idea of whether Laura could trust Cain to ultimately come to the rescue of those civilian ships. And there was a lot more conflict that had sort of been set up in "[[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]" in the original story, and that then played through in this episode, about Cain versus the [[The Fleet (RDM)|civilian fleet]]. Cain wanted fuel, the civilian fleet went on strike and said, "Screw you, we're not giving it to you. What the— Who the hell are you?" Cain didn't take that very well, she was leaning on Laura, Laura was telling her— was leaning back on her, but ultimately Laura recognized the value of destroying the Resurrection Ship, and was willing to go for it. In a very pragmatic way, she knew that she could not relieve Cain, that even if she told Cain to stand down, or ordered Adama to relieve Cain, or try to arrest her, or anything like that, Laura was pretty sure that the ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' crew, given everything they had been through to date, was essentially going to mutiny and that they wouldn't put up with it. She told Adama in one of the drafts, "Well, I mean, if somebody came in an relieved you of ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'', what would the ''Galactica'' crew do?" And y'know, they would mutiny, and they would not put up with Adama being thrown in jail, and it was pretty much the same thing on ''Pegasus''. So in that storyline, it came down to Laura essentially realizing that she was dying very soon, she didn't have very long to live, she ''had'' to make sure that they wiped out the Resurrection Ship, because that gave the fleet the best chance of survival, and there was some line I think to the effect of Laura having a faith in that eventually if there's one constant in the universe, it's that what goes around comes around, and that Cain would get hers in the end. It wasn't really a great resolution. It was really great y'know, sort of story direction, and we struggled with it.

We went through several drafts, and I was on what was supposed to be my vacation with my family, and the— we were on a camping trip in the [[Wikipedia:Redwood National and State Parks|redwoods]] of [[Wikipedia:Big Sur|Big Sur]], [[Wikipedia:California|California]], and I had "Resurrection Ship", I still needed to bring back— when Hiatus was over, I needed to bring back a new version of "Resurrection Ship", and I sat there in the campground with the computer at the picnic table with a long cord running to the engine of the car, charging the battery periodically, and then writing "Resurrection Ship", and the on the way back, on the long trip down I-5, I wrote with the laptop in the front seat of the car while my wife drove. And essentially pounded out a different version of the script with whereby the assassination plot was going to be the big turn.

In the original— I'm sorry, I should have backed up, in the original, after Laura has agreed to let the civilian fleet be used as a decoy, Cain of course broke her word and would not protect the civilian fleet, which had [[Colonial One]] in it for some reason that we could never quite figure out. Earlier versions had the [[Astral Queen]], [[Tom Zarek|Zarek]] was involved, blah blah blah. But essentially the fundamentals of the old story was that Cain was not going to protect the civilian fleet, which she said she would, and that was when Adama really sort of had to stand up to her and take her down himself, and then by happenstance some other things occurred aboard with— aboard the ''Pegasus'' that allowed us to then have a resolution. But the version of the assassination plot was something that was a much later sort of developing storyline, and when I came back from camping, it simply worked better. It was simply a better choice to play it this way, that Laura— ''Laura'' comes up with the idea of killing Cain. And that ''Adama'' would be taken aback by it. And I— it's one of the dynamics that I love in the show, is the sort of reversal of the traditional roles, that playing against type of who's the [[Wikipedia:War Hawk|hawk]], and who's the [[Wikipedia:Dovish|dove]], and what does "hawk" and "dove" even really mean in this circumstance. These people are out by themselves. They have no government to fall back on except the one in— the [[government]] in that room. There's no judiciary, there's no higher authority, there's nobody else, there's just ''them''. They have to decide what to do, how they're gonna survive, ''if'' they're gonna survive. And there comes a point when Laura looks at the situation very coldly, and says, "Well, given who this woman is, and the way she's behaving, this can only end one way. And you've got to kill her." And I love the fact that Adama's reaction is just, y'know, "Has the world gone mad? I'm not an assassin."

==[http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/mp3/211/bsg_ep211_3of5.mp3 Act 2]==

Act two. This scene with [[Sharon Valerii (Caprica copy)|Sharon]] was another scene we were able to go back and add when we were doing pickups and reshoots. This— Sharon, in the original cut, in the original draft really wasn't in the show. I mean, she wasn't in the show until the very end, until the very end of what is now "[[Resurrection Ship, Part II|Resurrection, Part II]]" when you see her— she has one sc— er, she has one sc— oh, I take that back, she has a scene at the very end of the show. And it was really— that was really all she had. No, I take that back. I'm sorry, I am tired. I'm tired, I'm just starting. But she had two scenes— (laughs) no, one, no, two, no four! five! ten scenes! No, she had two scenes in "Resurrection Ship", but they were both well into the show, and we felt that there was— when we had a chance to go back and add scenes to "Resurrection Ship, Part II", we realized that we never dealt with sort of the emotional or physical aftermath of the rape attempt from "[[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]", which was certainly a strong, startling moment, and it felt wrong to not have any acknowledgment of that with this character in the show. So it was a great moment to really just go in and just— y'know, they took her to sickbay, they tried to deal with this situation. And I like the fact that what [[William Adama|Adama]] comes to do here is, he just comes to apologize. That's really his thing. He just comes to say it was his fault, he was in charge, and he takes responsibility for it. He apologizes, because that's what a good leader does.

This scene— no, I take— yeah, this scene was always in the draft. I'm thinking ahead, 'cause there are— there is another— a subsequent [[Karl Agathon|Helo]]/[[Galen Tyrol|Tyrol]] scene that was an add-on, but this was always in the draft. This is a nice little bit of business with [[Lee Adama|Lee]] and the guys and "How many [[The Battlestar Galactica Drinking Game|different kinds of stupid]] are you?" (laughs) And I— for some reason I really love [[Aaron Douglas|Aaron]]'s response here, just the way he kind of looks up and says, "What's up, captain?" And there's such an ease and familiarity between the three players here that you sort of get the dynamics of the inner workings of ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'' and the camaraderie of the men and women who work there. And just— it just plays, it's like here's the family; the family's in a tough situation, but they ''are'' a family. It's like they are clearly their own team, and they are a separate team from what's going on over on ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]''.

This is interesting, we're now going back to [[Gaius Baltar|Baltar]]'s house, which we hadn't been to in quite a while. We had sort of dropped away from doing Baltar's house for a variety of reasons, actually. One of them in particular was a production reason, which was that Baltar's house, which has this amazing vantage point looking out over the water, happens to be on a very busy road that's under construction because the [[Wikipedia:2010 Winter Olympics|Olympics]] are coming to [[Wikipedia:Vancouver|Vancouver]] in the not-so-distant-future, and they're doing major road expansion on the road right outside this house, so that presents a lot of sound problems, a lot of access problems, it's a one narrow, windy road that you have to get all the equipment in and out of, so that was kind of a pain in the ass. And then the neighbors were getting tired of it, and we were shooting there; there were other film crews in the area doing a lot of shooting, so the whole thing was becoming difficult, to go up and shoot at Baltar's house. And separate from that, I think there was becoming a certain fatigue on everyone's part with what was going on at Baltar's house. We were not finding enough new and different and interesting things to keep doing there—

That's one of the sexiest shots of [[Tricia Helfer|Trish]] in the entire series.

—but we weren't finding enough new and interesting things to do in Baltar's house to keep justifying all the difficulties that we had in going there, and this expensive location. So for lot's of reasons, we just hadn't been doing it very often. But in this circumstance it felt right, because it's making a different point. And here, he's actually ''saying'' that he's growing weary of doing this. That it's— the character is finding less and less satisfaction with the fantasy life that he has sort of invented for himself, and that she has sort of invented for him, and he's becoming more rooted in sort of the reality of the Galactica world, for good or for bad. And part of that is an outrgrowth of his relation— his developing relationship with [[Gina]].

This was something we did— having [[Helena Cain|Cain]] come down to see Gina was actually not in the first draft, which is in retrospect an amazing oversight. It took a couple of drafts before we realized that we never put Cain and Gina in the same room, even though Cain was responsible for everything that happened to Gina, and that presumably this is the ''woman'', she's the big baddie in the episode, and it just felt strange to never have her and her prisoner come face to face, to really see what was her attitude toward the prisoner, the prisoner's sort of fear and hatred of her, Baltar's discomfort of having to be in the same room with the two of them. It's such a disturbing scene. I mean, I like it a lot, this particular moment, because it's really raw; you're not quite sure what Cain is capable of; you don't know where it could go at any moment; there's a certain out of control quality of this scene from the moment where [[IMDB:nm0000405|Michelle]] walks in which I think is wonderful.

And then she just jumps up and goes at him. Right here. Which is great. Sometimes the oldest tricks are the best. I mean just— I don't think you're expecting that, that she just goes at him. And Trish does such a wonderful job with all this. The scrabble away, Baltar's reaction, and now this upcoming shot, this look on Tricia's face, on Gina's face, on Tricia's face. This— ''this'', I just, I— that's an amazing moment.

What are you supposed to feel for this woman? It's interesting. What is the audience supposed to feel here? What do ''you'' feel here? What do you think of this woman? Do you hate her? Do you feel sorry for her? What do you do with that? Y'know, it's that— those are the moments I love on the show, where you throw something at the audience, and it's not entirely clear, it's not entirely obvious what you should feel. It's what— y'know, a lot of times when we leave it to you, the viewer, to sort of bring your own emotion to the scene. Y'know, in that moment, when Gina attacks Baltar, and then comes back and says "kill me", and she's sitting there on the floor, she's the embodiment of a [[Cylons (RDM)|race]] that has committed [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|genocide]], a mass genocide larger than anything in our own human history, an unimaginable evil, she is the embodiment of that. She is the face that we have seen on that. And yet, in that moment, we as human beings, what do we feel for her? Do we still feel hatred and loathing, or do we feel a human connection? Is there still some part of us that wonders if there's something salvageable in her? Do we still feel sympathy for our enemy? Do we or don't we? Maybe some of you don't. Maybe some of you feel a tremendous amount of empathy for her, maybe some of you feel sympathy, and maybe some of you don't. It's really hard to say. And I don't really care. It's really up to you, how you feel about that, about that scene, about that character. I just like playing the scene, and I like positing the questions.

This is another [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]]/[[Jack Fisk|Fisk]] drinking scene, which of course we did in "Pegasus", where Fisk revealed the first sort of— the curtain was first pulled back on Cain and who she was, and how she did things, and now he's pulling back the curtain a bit wider, and it's even uglier. There's a part of me, in all honesty, that I— every time I watch this scene I always kind of go, "oh— well, oh shit. I did it twice," y'know, doing the same seen a second time, in the second episode. And it's a bit of a cheat, in all honesty. It is kind of cheating a bit, because you're going back to the well a second time. It's in the same set, it's another drinking scene, and it's another "don't ask Fisk a question because you don't want to hear the answer" kind of a sequence. But it's— the only way that it's different is that we've shifted the dynamic slightly, in that Tigh is now deliberately seeking answers, and the first time it was more, just, they were hanging out, and Fisk said something, volunteered a story. This time, presumably Adama off-camera has talked to Tigh; Tigh is now going back and using that very friendship and using the fact that he knows that if you get Fisk a little bit lit, that he'll like, open up, and he goes back in there. I mean, and all that's fine, and it hangs together, and it works solidly, but there's still a part of me as a original writer and producer that sort of goes, "eh, I kind of wish that I'd found a different way for this particular story to come out," but y'know, we couldn't, and it was the easiest and the most elegant way. I don't know if it was the most elegant, I just contradicted that. It was the ''easiest'' way, and sometimes the easiest is just the best, so we went with this.

This is a pretty dark story. In part, this was sort of a result of the network giving a note at some point in the process, y'know, "why is Cain so bad?" And y'know, we went out of our way— in "Pegasus", you could justify just about everything she did. In fact, you ''can'' justify everything she did in "Pegasus". The woman really didn't do anything wrong by her own lights, and the way she read the law, and the way she read the situation, she acted in the way she thought best to protect her ship and her crew. Even the shooting of her XO was something in a combat situation she thought had to be done.

==[http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/mp3/211/bsg_ep211_4of5.mp3 Act 3]==
And as so— just to complete the thought, even though in the first episode [[Helena Cain|Cain]] had justified everything to herself that she thought had to be done, the network kind of felt like "Well, yeah, but given where we're going with Cain, and by the end of the Resurrection Saga— y'know, we need something really dark. Something ''really'' dark, to justify the fact that [[William Adama|Adama]]'s thinking about killing this woman, and that he's actually partic— gonna get to a place where he considered— where he's going to say, 'yeah, go assasinate that woman', we need something ''nasty'' in there." And I tended to agree with that, it was like, "yeah, I see that." Adama's reaction as a character at the top of the show is correct. Adama would not just shoot his superior officer, it's not who the man is. He says "the world's gone mad, what the hell's all this?" and he turns away from it. So to turn him back, to make him really realize that this woman had to be stopped, that [[Laura Roslin|Laura]] was right, you kinda needed one more bit of darkness, one more thing that we would just go "my god, y'know— this— I have to stop this woman." And the story of the ''[[Scylla]]'', the story of going in and shooting the family of people that didn't wanna be sort of shanghaied onto ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' was a pretty good way to go.

Now this scene is kinda interesting in that in the script in— as shot, [[Number Six]] actually appears— appeared in this scene. And when [[Michael Rymer]] was in the cutting room, he cut Six out of this scene because he felt that she was actually distracting. When [[Gaius Baltar|Baltar]] turns around here, turns away— which I think is a brilliant idea, this was Michael Rymer's— it was in Michael Rymer's original draft, that he brings her clothes and he— oof. That is as ugly as it gets, man. That is like— oof. Anyway. That he turns his back on [[Gina]] and gave her a moment of privacy. Well, in that scene there, Number Six appeared, and took his head, and made him look back at her, forcing him to look, to see what had happened to her, what had happened to her on ''Pegasus''. And throughout this little sequence, Six was sort of kibitzing, sort of making comment on this scene about what had happened to Gina, and what was going on with Baltar. And it was distracting. It kinda took you out of this emotional moment of connection with this woman that heretofore you'd only seen sorta lying on the ground and then had had one sort of burst of violence against Baltar. And you sort of want this particular moment to ''be'' him and her, you want to hear what she has to say, you want him to be really there, you don't want to play that— the sort of imp on his shoulder this time. So it was interesting. I mean, we cut her out completely, of the scene, and you don't miss her at all.

Y'see right there, where says "I promise," Six used to lean in and says "don't make promises you can't keep," sort of foreshadowing that maybe he can't protect her. You can see the little bits of James sort of glancing over to where she once was. Not much.

And here we get to the resurrection ship concept. Which I like, because it really is part and parcel of the show. I believe— I don't remember, but— forgive me, but I believe that the whole notion of "Resurrection Ship" was something that came up in the writer's room, and I don't even think I was there. I think the writers were working on their own, on various storylines, and the idea of there being a ship, a physical mech— an actual ship, and the entire physical mechanism required for Cylon resurrection is following the fleet, sort of, y'know, [to] provide them with a fallback where they could be reborn, and giving them that sort of freedom of immortality, of not caring whether the people on ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'' should kill them or not. That that being, as part of the fleet that was dogging them the whole way, that that would present an amazingly tempting target was something that I think grew out of writer discussions on other storylines that were ultimately abandoned. There was a whole show that was abandoned that was about going to— going on a raid, the show was called "[[The Raid]]", where they were going to infiltrate a Cylon base, and get inside, and once they were inside, they got plans— they got some kind of clues of about this Resurrection Ship, and where was it, and if they could knock it out, that would really be a major boon to them. And that storyline ultimately fell apart and didn't go anywhere, but we held onto the idea— that that idea became the idea of what was so important that Cain was going to destroy come hell or higher water.

That particular shot of ''[[Colonial One]]'' with the [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] outside in escort is actually a reuse of the shot from the [[miniseries]] where [[Lee Adama|Lee]] was escorting ''Colonial One''.

This scene, I love. This is one of my favorite scenes of the season, this scene between Laura and Adama. And again, if we had had to really chop apart "Resurrection Ship" to get it down to a one hour episode, we would've had to—we— in fact I think we did lose this scene at one point, when we were messing around to see what an hour version would look like, and it just broke my heart, because this is a lovely, lovely scene. I love the performances here are just tremendous, and you really get a sense that these two people in this scene have walked such a road from where they began in the miniseries, where they really were at odds and could bare— and barely gave each other the time of day, to the point where Adama had relieved her of her presidency and instituted a military coup, and Laura had broken out and led a rebellion, and they had gone to [[Kobol]], and I mean they had just traveled such a journey, and then now, in the middle of this other crisis, Laura is dying. And Adama is there to give her a glass of water, and just be there with her. And you can just ''see''— y'know, the look on his face— y'know, the connection with her and it's just amazing. And y'know, there are times I just— I am so grateful for the cast. I know I've said that before in these podcasts, but this just gold. This is gold.

And look at his face. His heart's breaking. The trust between the two of them. They do trust each other. They ''know'' each other, they know each other's weaknesses, they know each other's limitations, they know each other's integrity, and sense of honor.

And now watch this, when [[Edward James Olmos|Eddy]] goes away— look at that. He wipes away the tear. It's such a small— it's just intuitive actor— actor's instinct at work. And it's so honest, and you just so believe it. And it touches me every time I see it. And she sends him out.

==[http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/mp3/211/bsg_ep211_5of5.mp3 Act 4]==

Act four. This is an additional scene. This scene between [[Helo]] and [[Tyrol]] is actually not only an additional scene, but something we chopped into after we shot it. (laughs) This is a- this little scene with the two guys that are still in jail, mulling over the future and their relationship to the various [[Sharon Valerii|Sharons]], is actually interrupted at the end and becomes a different scene, and as we were juggling timing issues between the two episodes there was two- this was originally going to be a scene that was going to be all in [[Resurrection Ship, Part II|Part Two]] and then we had too much in Part Two and not enough in [[Resurrection Ship, Part I|Part One]], and there came a point where we realized we could cut this scene in half and put part of it in Part One and part of it in Part Two. So you'll note when you get to- there's another Helo/Tyrol scene in Part Two with them, in this cell, and [[Aaron Douglas|Aaron]]'s still in the bed,(laughs) and [[Tahmoh Penikett|Tahmoh]] is still leaning against the bunk and it's essentially picking up this scene. But it works just as well, 'cause it really is a scene that had two big things going on in it. There was this conversation and a whole other sequence, and it cleaved itself in half very nicely. And I like this moment just in terms of the characters saying things that must have been on their minds. You're dealing with issues that the audience has thought about. "What does Helo think? Is Helo know that he's in love with a machine? What does he think about- isn't he freaked out about the fact that he's having a baby that's half machine? And isn't Tyrol getting to a point where he's gotta let go of this thing he's got for Sharon? I mean, doesn't he need to WAKE UP ALREADY TYROL?" And it's just nice to hear the two of them acknowledging that and dealing with it, and dealing with it in a very honest way. Tyrol's struggle to move on, Helo's inability to move on.

This little montage was actually crafted out of a couple different pieces. We were struggling with the moment of decision. Part One, when we chopped the show in half into two episodes and were assembling them, we realized that we never really had the moment where the decision was crystalized, where [[William Adama|Adama]] '''decided''' that he was going to have kill [[Helena Cain|Cain]] and the moment where Cain '''decided''' that she was going to have to kill Adama. Ironically, these pieces were shot for a moment in Part Two, on the eve of battle, when each of them was about to- this was all supposed to be in Part Two was what it was shot for, there was a big battle coming, this was the night before the battle, and the two of them had already made the decision. Cain had already made the decision to kill Adama. Adama had already made the decision to kill Cain. And this- those little silent bits of them sitting in their room having their "long night of the soul" were meant to show them both struggling with what they had already decided to do. But, since they're silent scenes, and they're both just actors struggling with issues, it was easy to put them both- both those sequences, into Part One and suddenly the context changes, and now you, the audience, bring a different set of sens- expectations into what's going on, and now it reads as the two of them struggling with what they're about to do as opposed to struggling with what they had already decided to do.

This is going back to "the big board" as we like to call it. Which was- we haven't really seen in the show since "[[The Hand of God (RDM)|The Hand of God]]" in [[Season 1 (2004-05)|Season One]]. It's a very effective way of making complicated stuff work. So I insisted that we use it again. It's just such a simple thing. It's like, ok, put the models on the board, move them around and show the audience how this all is going to work. Get it out of the way, give them the plan, and then move on. The graphics, I've talked about this before, putting dots on screens, and light and lines, and getting complicated graphics to explain "We're coming from there, they're going to go this way." All that stuff the audience loses surprisingly quickly, and it's really hard to make work as strictly-tech talk. You put those models on tables, just like it's [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054310/ "Sink the Bismark"] man, and it just reads. You just get it. And thank god it works with our retro-feeling and sense of the technology that we've established on ''[[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'' and you can just use it.

We always like the role reversal between [[Kara Thrace|Starbuck]] and [[Lee Adama|Lee]]- Starbuck and Apollo, that she would be the [[CAG]] and suddenly he would be just a pilot. It was nice to play them in those roles for a bit. And we get to play them even more in Part Two.

And now this. This was something that I just wr- I had a vision of how this would work, the intercutting between the two- between the [[Raptor]] and the "big board" room, between the two of them. And I wrote it as an intercut, where you would write each sequence and how the dialogue would blend and overlap. But, I will say that it works much better in the show than it did on the page, which is really a salute to our- the editor of this episode, Dany Cooper, who did a marvelous job putting this footage together. Because it really is about rhythm and moment and being able to build a certain pace in. You'll notice if you watch the style in which this is edited, it starts very traditionally, you're just cutting from one piece to the next, and you're letting them say a couple of lines, then you start- then the pace starts to pick up, and then she starts to have the dialogue prelap one another and overlap, and it's almost becoming one scene by the very end, then it kind of slows down again towards the end. It's a great, great thing. It's something I couldn't have foreseen or know how to do, but a really good editor will be able to take footage like this and really nail you. Even just the choice of going from Cain to Kara. 'Cause you sort of going from [[Jack Fisk|Fisk]] to Cain, Fisk to Cain, and then suddenly it's Cain to Kara and you're in the other scene, the other foot. And then sometimes she's going Cain to Adama. See off of Starbuck, back to Cain, as if looking back to the reaction shot, at that time you just go Cain to Adama. And now it's overlapping, now it's starting to move faster, and the tension, "Oh my god, what are they- what are they about to say to each other?" Then there's the hesitation.

"[[Case Orange]]" is actually a reference to a battle plan of the [[Wikipedia:United States Navy|American Navy]] prior to [[Wikipedia:World War II|World War II]]. "Case Orange" was a certain idea of what the [[Wikipedia:Empire of Japan|Japanese]] would do, what they would do in response. [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0363163/ "Downfall"] is another reference, it's a reference to a German- to a film about [[Wikipedia:Nazi Germany|Nazi Germany]] and the last days in [[Wikipedia:Adolph Hitler|Hitler]]'s bunker.

That last line kills me. "Take out your gun, and shoot Admiral Cain, in the head." That's so perf- that's just so perfect.

Once last note that I'll make is that that little beat where Cain is saying "Terminate Adama's command, starting with Adama," is an homage, a bit, to "[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078788/ Apocalypse Now]". Where the famous line of [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000148/ Harrison Ford's], "I want you to terminate Colonel Kurtz's command," and then the other guy, whose name I can never recall in the scene leans forward and says, "Terminate with extreme prejudice." And I briefly toyed with the idea of actually using that terminology, but there's a fine line between homage and ripoff, and that seemed to polevault over the edge.

So that's it for the podcast for Resurrection Ship, Part One. Thank you for joining me, I hope you enjoyed it. We will next be dealing with Resurrection Ship, Part Two, obviously. And hopefully I'll have my act together a little bit more and can be a little more entertaining next time around. Thank you, and goodnight.

Battlestar Wiki:Podcast Transcripts

2006-03-16T04:14:08Z

Laineylain: /* Checkins */ LDYB 2, Act 2

{{project|Podcast Transcripts}}

This project is meant to coordinate and standardize the transcription of Ronald D. Moore's freely available episode podcasts. Our goal is to produce a searchable text repository for purposes of citation. At this time, we will only be transcribing freely available podcasts from [http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/ SciFi.com], not additonal DVD commentaries. Ron D. Moore and David Eick have recorded commentary tracks for the [[Mini-series]] (also including director Michael Rymer), "[[33]]", "[[Bastille Day]]", "[[Act of Contrition]]", and "[[You Can't Go Home Again]]". However, they have not been put up online for free but are only available in the Season 1 DVD set. Therefore, transcripts of these are not provided here, though relevant quotes may be found sourced in certain articles on Battlestar Wiki.

This project is a daughter of the [[Battlestar Wiki:Citation Jihad|Citation Jihad]].

==Standards==

===Namespace===
Podcast transcripts should be named after the episode to which they correspond with the addition of the (podcast) namespace, for example, [[Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down (podcast)]].

===Structure===
Begin each podcast article with the template
<nowiki>{{podcast|author=YourNameHere}}</nowiki>.

Use first-level headings to divide Teaser and Act breaks. Make each heading an offsite link to the appropriate podcast segment, e.g.

==[<nowiki>http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/mp3/109/bsg_ep109_1of5.mp3</nowiki> Teaser]==

Try to break up RDMs comments into paragraphs along topical lines.

===Transcription===
RDM frequently uses "uh", "um" and "y'know" as discourse particles. For readabilities sake, try to exclude these where they interrupt the flow of an otherwise grammatical sentence.

Where RDM interrupts himself, end the last word of the first statement with an emdash. You may include whatever discourse particles he uses to introduce the next thought. For example:

"I think it's a very good movie, one that I always thought was a— y'know, prime for us to do a riff on."

Generally, you may ignore emphasis except where RDM's tone is critical to the interpretation of a statement (e.g. sarcasm).

===Links===
Where RDM mentions a BSG episode or character, link to our own article. Where he mentions a television show or actor which we do not have (or need) our own article for, offer a link to the corresponding page on IMDB. If another resource such as Wikipedia or Memory Alpha has more comprehensive information, you may link there at your discression. To avoid overlinking, only link once per act break.

===Corrections===
Except for simple spelling errors, do not offer a "correction" without first having listened to the relevant portion of the recording. Always leave a comment on the talk page explaining your change.

==Checkins==
When you begin work on a transcription, place your name beside the segment you are working on. When you've completed and uploaded it, mark your name next to "Transcribed". Afterwards, it would be helpful for a second user to verify the transcription.

==[http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/mp3/220/bsg_ep220_1of7.mp3 Teaser]==

RDM: Hello and welcome to the podcast for episode 20 of epi- of season two. I'm [[Ronald D. Moore]], executive producer and developer of [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|the new Battlestar Galactica]].

Eick: And I'm [[David Eick]], court jester.

RDM: And we're here to discuss the season finale. Yes, it's all come down to this, boys and girls. And we have a 90 minute special to go through and lots of ground to cover. This episode really deals with possibly every single plot thread we've established in the show and tries to deal with it in some fashion, which is in part the reason why this ultimately became a 90 minute episode.

Eick: We experienced this a number of times this year, as some of you may know. We broke a story that was intended to be the first episode of the second ten of season two called "[[Resurrection Ship]]", which after [[Michael Rymer]] got done with it, became "[[Resurrection Ship, Part I|Resurrection Ship, Parts 1]] and [[Resurrection Ship, Part II|2]]".

RDM: Almost three.

Eick: And even before that- yeah, almost three- and even before that, "[[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]" wanted to be a 90 minute and we were unable to move the various pieces that were required to make that happen and I think we were just able to get it under the wire as a one hour episode. But this one when it came in, we just knew. There was definitely a two hour version- well, there's definitely a 90 minute version, there might have been a two hour version, but there for sure was not a one hour version.

RDM: Yeah a one hour. 'Cause Rymer's cut- the one that Rymer gave to us was what, 20 something minutes long?

Eick: Yeah. In fact it was a different cut, but it was actually almost exactly this running length.

RDM: Oh, was it?

Eick: Yeah. It would have aired as a 90 minute episode and it was missing things that we missed and felt was needed, and had things in it that we didn't think were as necessary. But it was very clear- because he had been working on it, at that point, for weeks trying to get it down that far. And and so we were- it was nothing but shear panic and alarm at first because when you say to a network, "Well, we got a show that is supposed to air in a one hour slot and we need you to give us more time," the ripple effect of that is pretty cataclysmic. I mean they gotta go to their advertisers, their sales people, and their scheduling people, and it affects other shows and other programming, and so it was a big deal getting them to approve this and you know, thank goodness that they did.

RDM: And we briefly tried to make a two hour version of this which could have been easier for everybody 'cause then you could always carve it up into two discrete episodes. But the two hour by sort of universal agreement dragged. It didn't really have the pace. It just went on too long. And it's still- even then it was still a little short. It didn't quite actually make it to two hours. 
Eick: The other oddity about this structure- and I realized this on the dub stage yesterday- is that they open with the recap and then go right to the main title.

RDM: Yeah, it does.

Eick: Now, I don't know... Is there a commercial after the main title?

RDM: There's a commercial after the main title.

Eick: Oh so the audience doesn't even get any original material before they gotta go to commercial?

RDM: I don't think so, unless they- maybe they restructure it on air which you can tell us. But I believe we go from main title to first commercial break.

Eick: Oh. Well yeah. Please tell a friend not to change the channel during the uh...

RDM: Because I think that was dictated by the way acts had to be structured for 90 minutes, like teaser or whatever it was was so long that it was ridiculous to put the main title, you know, like 12 minutes in or 15 minutes into the show or something.

Eick: I'd also say, just to be totally candid, 'cause I know Ron has spoken and he certainly reflected my opinion as well about some of the episodes in the second half of season two that weren't favorites. And it was really encouraging getting into "[[Downloaded]]" and then to the first part of this episode and now this one, to really kind of get back to what I think excites both of us about the show and a lot of that has to do with the fact that we have Michael Rymer back directing of course.

RDM: Yeah.

Eick: But I'm really proud of this one in particular. This really kind of has, in its own way, all the pathos, all the emotional potency, and a lot of the danger and the darkness that I think make Battlestar Galactica a unique show. It's really- it took some doing to get it there, but I think this is definitely one of the better episodes.

RDM: Yeah, I'm very proud of the show. This is a- I like it because ultimately where it goes at the end. It's a risky show. It's pushing the boundaries of what the show is... What your preconceptions of the show should be. By the end of the episode, once we make the giant leap forward, you start feeling like "Oh my God, anything's possible. What are these maniacs doing?" They've really dynamited the entire Galactica universe and started over. That's a really refreshing, fun thing to do in a television series because typically, you're making the same show week in week out, to a large extent. You're not varying the format so much that you're really challenging people, by and large. I mean every sh- that's not an absolute rule. But it's great to be able to really be true to what the premise of the show is, and take it into these sort of different directions periodically.

Eick: Now where- this thing gets published on the internet before the show airs.

RDM: It goes out that day... the same day as the broadcast.

Eick: So are we gonna talk-

RDM: We can talk about- oh yeah, we spoil- I spoil the episode all the time. Anyone who listens to the podcast wants to be spoiled. They're gonna know the whole plot. We can talk about the-

Eick: Alright. We can talk about the fact that [[Tyrol]] ends up in a gay relationship with [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]]...

RDM: Secret, gay forbidden love with Tigh.

Eick: Brokeback Galactica.

RDM: Brokeback Galactica.

(Eick clears throat)

Eick: We definitely were lucky to get the 90 minute because one of the things that had to go if we didn't was this entire Tyrol-[[Cally]] storyline.

RDM: Yeah. Oh the one hour is- I mean we did actually have to cut a one hour- 'cause actually...

Eick: Yeah, for international.

RDM: For international consumption we actually had to do a one hour version and it's almost incomprehensible. And all the joy of this episode is just completely gone. It's just like- races you through little pieces.

Eick: Yeah, and if you happened to see the previous week and you're waiting on the edge of your seat to at least get some sense of closure between Cally and Tyrol after this terrible thing he's done to her, um... you won't be getting any of that. (Laughs).

RDM: No. So for those of you in Spain, I'm really really sorry.

Eick: (Laughing) Sorry.

RDM: Tell your people to buy the 90 minutes from now.

Eick: Um this particular section plays really well for me because, as some of you may know, I'm usually the voice of the 14 year old saying "Don't forget the action." And I love the fact that we open this episode- and this is pretty good combat stuff that Rymer got...

RDM: Yeah, we got some juicy action right there in front of you.

Eick: And that [[IMDB:nm0782890|Andy Seklir]] did a magnificent job cutting together because it's always tough with this stuff. And you know, the show really is not an action show. Battlestar Galactica is a show with action elements to it, but because it's not an action show, we're not set up to do days and days of action photography. We don't have a full-time second unit director to mop up action scenes. And so our ability to do action, in some respects, depends on how on our game we are during prep and how good the director is at that particular discipline.

RDM: Mmhmm.

Eick: And I would say action is not Michael Rymer's favorite thing to do. So when he does it really well, I'm very happy. (Laughs) And this is...

RDM: (Laughing) He doesn't like it. Surprising- he's really good at it, but he doesn't especially enjoy it. I think- from- I- I...

Eick: It's very technical.

RDM: I would suspect for maybe the same reasons I don't enjoy writing it. They're not my favorite scenes to write or action scenes. They are very technical. It's about calling out shots. And it's really in the hands of the director to figure out the rhythm of an action scene, when you cut to certain people, what Kara's gonna do, how high she gets up on an obstacle- I mean all these things are very camera-specific. And for a writer, I just don't find them that really intriguing. So I tend to sort of- "'The Civil War begins', he writes". (Laughs)

Eick: Or or or "They enter the arena and race".

RDM: Yes.

Eick: Yeah, they're very difficult to- in fact, uh um- often times they're not only the hardest to write, they're the dreariest to read. And there's nothing good about them except for watching them.

RDM: Yeah, except for watching them. (unintelligible)

Eick: But I think um...

RDM: I love this look on [[Kara]]'s face here at the end of that scene. The way (unintelligible).

Eick: Well honestly a lot of it does come down to the performances. You're as invested in an action scene as the actors are forcing you to be and...

RDM: Yeah, we got really lucky, obviously, with her.

Eick: This was- the first time I saw this episode this was my favorite [[Mary McDonnell]] scene in ages just because it's such a different color for her. (Laughs)

RDM: Oh I know. I love the fact that she finally says "[[frak]]" and she apologizes immediately for it, "I'm sorry my language".

Eick: Also this was the episode where I think we all sort of agree that [[Tory Foster|Tory]] was gonna- was here to stay.

RDM: Yeah.

Eick: She's a really interesting character. She's a very different energy than [[Billy]] was. I love the way Mary plays against her.

RDM: Tory's somebody we should find the first couple of episodes the next season. Yeah, what happened to Tory during the occupation?

Eick: Yeah, I have that note actually.

RDM: Do you? Oh good! We're actually- as we speak, David and I, just before the podcast began we were discussing episodes one and two of season three because I've written the first drafts of the first two episodes and we're starting to sort of figure out exactly what season three is. Yeah, Tory. We should do something with Tory.

Eick: Yeah, yeah. She's a really nice foil in a way- in her own way- for the [[Laura Roslin|Laura]] character, where as Billy was sort of a professional sycophant. I mean it was always impressive when he would stand up to her but it was a big shift for him. I think in a way we're playing the opposite rhythm with Tory.

RDM: Yeah, Tory's more her own woman.

Eick: She's gonna be in Laura's face, maybe in some respects more than Laura wants her to be.

RDM: Yeah, I like that. I like that aspect of the character and she's capable of some nasty shit too. I mean she's gonna - due to the election stuff coming up here.

Eick: Yeah.

RDM: This is like an example of the art department doing a lot with very little. They had no budget to do this with. I think I wrote in the script that they were in a [[wikipedia:redoubt|redoubt]], I called it, or a [[wikipedia:Bunker#Pillbox|pillbox]] or something that uh-

Eick: First time I've ever heard that word. Redoubt. (higher voice) Redoubt.

RDM: And [[Samuel Anders|Anders]] and his guys had some fallback position way up on this mountain, and there was literally almost nothing in the budget to make this thing, whatever it was and [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0399750/ Richard Hudolin] like tearing out his hair a little bit. But then they just came up with this very simple sort of wall which kind of communicates a fortified position without having to actually build a gigantic thing that would break the budget.

Eick: [[IMDB:nm0874001|Michael Trucco]] who plays Anders is someone who's also gonna be back in season three and really has integrated himself in the cast in an interesting way. He's got a great scene coming up later with Kara and [[Lee Adama|Lee]]. I think it's always interesting when you introduce a new actor into a dynamic that you're used to seeing a very certain way, it's hard for them not to stick out.

RDM: Yeah.

Eick: Here you've got [[Helo]] and Kara and Anders here and I would say he sort of seemlessly weaves in. You don't really feel it.

RDM: Yeah, and I like it when he gets back to ''Galactica''. We'll talk about that later but I think this is the episode I like the Anders- Anders the best. I think I really grew to really like the character and the actor in this episode most of all.

RDM: Cylon-occupied [[wikipedia:Vancouver|Vancouver]].

Eick: Yes, it's certainly a city and series of locations that we've shot the hell out of.

RDM: Oh my gosh.

Eick: This is of course [[The_Twelve_Colonies_%28RDM%29#Caprica|Caprica]]. It's also [[Kobol]]. It's also going to be [[New Caprica]], which you'll see at the end of the episode. And coming up with different ways to shoot it and different ways to dress it and different angles on it has become a big job for our director of photography, [[IMDB:nm0002323|Stephen McNutt]], whose- y'know, God the poor guy's got- (Laughs)

RDM: Oh my God, I know. We just beat up Steve all the time.

Eick: Well y'know, we try to say things like "Well, y'know, Caprica's kind of burnt orange because of the post-nuclear fallout and Kobol is really lush and green. Isn't that enough?" (Laughs)

RDM: Yup. This little B here is a little problematic, I always found. This didn't quite read the way- I think this is a script issue, but the idea was a lot of people come out of their little fortified position and one of them turns out to be [[Cavil|Brother Cavil]]. Doesn't quite- there's a problem as they all turn around and look up at him they look a little bit more surprised than they probably should.

Eick: Yeah as if he's a sudden...

RDM: As if he's a sudden appearance and that wasn't the concept. But you're sort of over and past it in enough time to sort of get the idea.

==[http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/mp3/220/bsg_ep220_2of7.mp3 Act 1]==

RDM: This is a great little scene. This is one of my favorite Laura scenes.

Eick: I for- this was such a good scene.

RDM: It's such a good scene.

Eick: I forgot that it was in the script

RDM: I know. I did too.

Eick: I remember sitting there watching, going "What the hell is this?".

RDM: I wrote it and I was sort of like "Well, it's an ok little scene and y'know he- she tries to convince him and talk it out." It was kind of forgettable and then I saw it and I was like "Wow!"

Eick: It's like an homage to [[wikipedia:All the President's Men (film)|All the President's Men]]. It's the first thing I thought when I saw it... the [[wikipedia:Hal Holbrook|Hal Holbrook]] stuff in the garage, y'know.

RDM: It's really interesting. Yeah. The way he chose to stage this, putting her in shadow, her sitting down.

Eick: In the script did it say all the lights are off?

RDM: I don't think so. I don't think it did at all.

Eick: That's what threw me off.

RDM: I think he just walked in- I think in the script he just walked in and he didn't see anybody at first and she kinda just stepped out of the bathroom or something.

Eick: But it's another scene- I mean this is- we're right now putting the show up for various awards and they want to know what our selects are. And Ron and I were talking about "Well what- you know we definitely want to push Mary McDonnell for Best Actress, so which episode do you choose?" And first blush you say "[[Epiphanies]]" which was an early episode in season two because it was like the Laura episode and "What was Laura doing before the attack?" and all this kind of stuff. Honestly we looked at this- this is her strongest work of the year. It really is.

RDM: Yeah, this is a good good episode for Mary. And there's a beat here- (background noise of what sounds like a toilet flushing) That would be the bathroom. (RDM & Eick laugh) We're in my office today by the way. There's no garbage trucks, but there is a bathroom.

Eick: There is, however, [[wikipedia:scotch whiskey|scotch]].

RDM: There is scotch and I'm about to completely break the law and smoke in here. Come and get me, Arnold!

(Eick laughs)

RDM: When he- when she says "The-" uh, we have the sound turned down so it's always- it's hard to- oh no, we were past it. There was a beat there where she says "I think settlement on the planet is the most important thing to face humanity" and Baltar just sits back and stares at her for a long time and then he finally says "Ok, you're right."

Eick: Yeah! (Laughs)

RDM: There's something so great about that like you don't know what he's gonna do. And then he kind of has to concede the point even as Baltar, he has to sort of "Yeah, ok you're right." (Lights cigarette)

Eick: Well, I wish it was [[wikipedia:Super Bowl|Super Bowl Sunday]], I could have one of those with ya.

RDM: It's the season finale, doesn't that count?

Eick: No.

RDM: You can do one on the Super Bowl and one on the season- Dave is an ex-smoker. I'm a recent smoker.

Eick: I'm an ex-smoker, I get one a year. Ron's a re-smoker, we call him.

RDM: I'm a re- recent smoker. I've only been smoking for a couple years. There's been endless discussion on the podcast, by the way, of me smoking. [[IMDB:nm0237499|Terry]] was a guest star last week.

Eick: Was she?

RDM: And she was busting my chops about smoking because I've got into this habit of watching the show and podcasting and chainsmoking through it. It's now literally the place I smoke the most. I now smoke more during the podcast than-

Eick: So were it not for these podcasts, you might have made it to 50.

RDM: That's right!

Eick: Oh well, anything for the show.

RDM: Anything for my fans.

Eick: (Laughing sarcastically) "My fans."

RDM: My people. My- my- my peeps.

RDM: And we talked a lot about whether this moment should happen or not... Whether Laura should-

Eick: Well it was out in the first cut.

RDM: It was out in the first cut. When she calls him on the y'know, "I saw you with a blonde woman on Caprica."

Eick: But isn't it interesting though, and Rym- I'm gonna bust Rymer's balls on this, he always cuts the stuff that's like the best stuff he does.

RDM: Yeah.

Eick: Like that transition right there where [[Six]] is suddenly there...

RDM: I know. It's a great transition.

Eick: It gives me chills every time I watch it. It's really effective. And he did that- and now I have to admit, even though I think a lot of it was about execution, I- there were a variety of different versions in the previous episode of Mary cracking up laughing- she cracks up laughing.

RDM: Yeah, that's right.

Eick: And there were versions of it that I hated because there were so- I just thought they were awkwardly done. And Ron and I were in the editing room and literally the editor sped by some piece that had been omitted and it was perfect! It was like exactly the moment that made it work. I don't know, I think- you know what it is? We're giving him too much time in the editing room. You gotta kick him out.

RDM: You gotta kick him out.

Eick: He's overthinking. He's cutting out his best stuff.

RDM: He gets there and he starts to worry that it's not working. He shoots amazing stuff though. This scene was gonna be gone too. I mean all this- all the texture of the show was going to have to be gone if we had to actually made this an hour. I like this little thing with [[Ellen]] and Tigh and the deal that they make in their marriage, because there was something important to me about saying that they- really it's a completely screwed up, dysfunctional marriage but it works for them. And they come to this place where Ellen says "How long?" and he says, "A year." Ok, whatever, a year! And she actually stands by him. Ironically, fine at the other side of the job.

Eick: But you know, we cut the year.

RDM: Oh we cut the year?

Eick: Yeah. (Laughs)

RDM: Oh, well ignore me then. I got a rewrite project. I'll rewrite episode one, like, right now!

Eick: That was one of my moves to get us the time, buddy.

RDM: That's what you're doing on the dub side?

Eick: There's no more- There's no more reference to one year.

RDM: Oh yeah. "Shortly later..." "A little while afterwards..."

Eick: No, what's great about that scene though- is that he- was that the scene where he says "Go on, cat a round."

RDM: Yeah, "Go cat around."

Eick: I love that because you're suddenly aware of the fact that Tigh knows.

RDM: He knows! He knows!

Eick: And it's great because you realize that they've got this unholy alliance where they sort of understand each other.

RDM: He knows who he's married to! He knows. This is a great little beat too. I like this. I wrote this in the script that this is Kara having to introduce the new boyfriend to her father.

Eick: Yeah, I love that too.

RDM: And I like the fact that he says "I'm more of a [[Picon Panthers]] fan, myself." (Laughs) He couldn't resist!

Eick: Yeah, I know. I don't know if you agree with this... This is one of those scenes that came out exactly the way I imagined it when I read it.

RDM: Yeah, actually, me too. I did.

Eick: Her awkwardness about having to introduce him to Adama.

RDM: Even camera-side... like she's on the left, he's on the right, is the way I pictured it in my mind. That's one of those things that I almost always get wrong.

Eick: Yeah, it never works out the way you imagine.

Eick: This is um- Yeah, [[code blue]].

RDM: Code blue.

Eick: Isn't that a colloquialism of our- I mean-

RDM: It's something from a hospital. You hear them yell "code blue" a lot.

Eick: Code blue, I guess-

RDM: This is one of those technical terms, I was just like "OK, and he would yell- wouldn't there be something if you saw a Cylon and you knew it you would just scream-"

Eick: What is code red then? Is code-

RDM: I avoided red just 'cause of the Star Trek reference to it so-

Eick: Oh, 'cause people in red shirts die or something?

RDM: No, red alert is like the thing.

Eick: Oh is that what they say on Star Trek?

RDM: (In cartoonish voice) Alert! (Makes alarm noises) [[wikipedia:Red Alert (Star Trek)|Red alert]]!

Eick: I see.

RDM: David's never seen [[wikipedia:Star Trek|Star Trek]].

Eick: I've never actually- I heard it's a good show.

RDM: Some of you should actually send David the DVD sets of the entire Star Trek series.

Eick: (Laughs) Well, who knows, I might start ripping that off too.

Eick: The other performance in this episode that I really love is [[Grace Park]].

RDM: Oh I know. She's really good.

Eick: She's got the hardest job- she and [[Tricia Helfer]] I think have got the hardest jobs on this show because they've got to play, not multiple characters 'cause actors have done that and you can sort of make certain choices and go in certain extreme directions and pull that off.

Battlestar Wiki:Podcast Transcripts

{{project|Podcast Transcripts}}

This project is meant to coordinate and standardize the transcription of Ronald D. Moore's freely available episode podcasts. Our goal is to produce a searchable text repository for purposes of citation. At this time, we will only be transcribing freely available podcasts from [http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/ SciFi.com], not additonal DVD commentaries. Ron D. Moore and David Eick have recorded commentary tracks for the [[Mini-series]] (also including director Michael Rymer), "[[33]]", "[[Bastille Day]]", "[[Act of Contrition]]", and "[[You Can't Go Home Again]]". However, they have not been put up online for free but are only available in the Season 1 DVD set. Therefore, transcripts of these are not provided here, though relevant quotes may be found sourced in certain articles on Battlestar Wiki.

This project is a daughter of the [[Battlestar Wiki:Citation Jihad|Citation Jihad]].

==Standards==

===Namespace===
Podcast transcripts should be named after the episode to which they correspond with the addition of the (podcast) namespace, for example, [[Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down (podcast)]].

===Structure===
Begin each podcast article with the template
<nowiki>{{podcast|author=YourNameHere}}</nowiki>.

Use first-level headings to divide Teaser and Act breaks. Make each heading an offsite link to the appropriate podcast segment, e.g.

==[<nowiki>http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/mp3/109/bsg_ep109_1of5.mp3</nowiki> Teaser]==

Try to break up RDMs comments into paragraphs along topical lines.

===Transcription===
RDM frequently uses "uh", "um" and "y'know" as discourse particles. For readabilities sake, try to exclude these where they interrupt the flow of an otherwise grammatical sentence.

Where RDM interrupts himself, end the last word of the first statement with an emdash. You may include whatever discourse particles he uses to introduce the next thought. For example:

"I think it's a very good movie, one that I always thought was a— y'know, prime for us to do a riff on."

Generally, you may ignore emphasis except where RDM's tone is critical to the interpretation of a statement (e.g. sarcasm).

===Links===
Where RDM mentions a BSG episode or character, link to our own article. Where he mentions a television show or actor which we do not have (or need) our own article for, offer a link to the corresponding page on IMDB. If another resource such as Wikipedia or Memory Alpha has more comprehensive information, you may link there at your discression. To avoid overlinking, only link once per act break.

===Corrections===
Except for simple spelling errors, do not offer a "correction" without first having listened to the relevant portion of the recording. Always leave a comment on the talk page explaining your change.

==Checkins==
When you begin work on a transcription, place your name beside the segment you are working on. When you've completed and uploaded it, mark your name next to "Transcribed". Afterwards, it would be helpful for a second user to verify the transcription.

Podcast:Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II

2006-03-15T04:30:37Z

Laineylain: /* Added Act 1

==[http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/mp3/220/bsg_ep220_1of7.mp3 Teaser]==

RDM: Hello and welcome to the podcast for episode 20 of epi- of season two. I'm [[Ronald D. Moore]], executive producer and developer of [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|the new Battlestar Galactica]].

Eick: And I'm [[David Eick]], court jester.

RDM: And we're here to discuss the season finale. Yes, it's all come down to this, boys and girls. And we have a 90 minute special to go through and lots of ground to cover. This episode really deals with possibly every single plot thread we've established in the show and tries to deal with it in some fashion, which is in part the reason why this ultimately became a 90 minute episode.

Eick: We experienced this a number of times this year, as some of you may know. We broke a story that was intended to be the first episode of the second ten of season two called "[[Resurrection Ship]]", which after [[Michael Rymer]] got done with it, became "[[Resurrection Ship, Part I|Resurrection Ship, Parts 1]] and [[Resurrection Ship, Part II|2]]".

RDM: Almost three.

Eick: And even before that- yeah, almost three- and even before that, "[[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]" wanted to be a 90 minute and we were unable to move the various pieces that were required to make that happen and I think we were just able to get it under the wire as a one hour episode. But this one when it came in, we just knew. There was definitely a two hour version- well, there's definitely a 90 minute version, there might have been a two hour version, but there for sure was not a one hour version.

RDM: Yeah a one hour. 'Cause Rymer's cut- the one that Rymer gave to us was what, 20 something minutes long?

Eick: Yeah. In fact it was a different cut, but it was actually almost exactly this running length.

RDM: Oh, was it?

Eick: Yeah. It would have aired as a 90 minute episode and it was missing things that we missed and felt was needed, and had things in it that we didn't think were as necessary. But it was very clear- because he had been working on it, at that point, for weeks trying to get it down that far. And and so we were- it was nothing but shear panic and alarm at first because when you say to a network, "Well, we got a show that is supposed to air in a one hour slot and we need you to give us more time," the ripple effect of that is pretty cataclysmic. I mean they gotta go to their advertisers, their sales people, and their scheduling people, and it affects other shows and other programming, and so it was a big deal getting them to approve this and you know, thank goodness that they did.

RDM: And we briefly tried to make a two hour version of this which could have been easier for everybody 'cause then you could always carve it up into two discrete episodes. But the two hour by sort of universal agreement dragged. It didn't really have the pace. It just went on too long. And it's still- even then it was still a little short. It didn't quite actually make it to two hours. 
Eick: The other oddity about this structure- and I realized this on the dub stage yesterday- is that they open with the recap and then go right to the main title.

RDM: Yeah, it does.

Eick: Now, I don't know... Is there a commercial after the main title?

RDM: There's a commercial after the main title.

Eick: Oh so the audience doesn't even get any original material before they gotta go to commercial?

RDM: I don't think so, unless they- maybe they restructure it on air which you can tell us. But I believe we go from main title to first commercial break.

Eick: Oh. Well yeah. Please tell a friend not to change the channel during the uh...

RDM: Because I think that was dictated by the way acts had to be structured for 90 minutes, like teaser or whatever it was was so long that it was ridiculous to put the main title, you know, like 12 minutes in or 15 minutes into the show or something.

Eick: I'd also say, just to be totally candid, 'cause I know Ron has spoken and he certainly reflected my opinion as well about some of the episodes in the second half of season two that weren't favorites. And it was really encouraging getting into "[[Downloaded]]" and then to the first part of this episode and now this one, to really kind of get back to what I think excites both of us about the show and a lot of that has to do with the fact that we have Michael Rymer back directing of course.

RDM: Yeah.

Eick: But I'm really proud of this one in particular. This really kind of has, in its own way, all the pathos, all the emotional potency, and a lot of the danger and the darkness that I think make Battlestar Galactica a unique show. It's really- it took some doing to get it there, but I think this is definitely one of the better episodes.

RDM: Yeah, I'm very proud of the show. This is a- I like it because ultimately where it goes at the end. It's a risky show. It's pushing the boundaries of what the show is... What your preconceptions of the show should be. By the end of the episode, once we make the giant leap forward, you start feeling like "Oh my God, anything's possible. What are these maniacs doing?" They've really dynamited the entire Galactica universe and started over. That's a really refreshing, fun thing to do in a television series because typically, you're making the same show week in week out, to a large extent. You're not varying the format so much that you're really challenging people, by and large. I mean every sh- that's not an absolute rule. But it's great to be able to really be true to what the premise of the show is, and take it into these sort of different directions periodically.

Eick: Now where- this thing gets published on the internet before the show airs.

RDM: It goes out that day... the same day as the broadcast.

Eick: So are we gonna talk-

RDM: We can talk about- oh yeah, we spoil- I spoil the episode all the time. Anyone who listens to the podcast wants to be spoiled. They're gonna know the whole plot. We can talk about the-

Eick: Alright. We can talk about the fact that [[Tyrol]] ends up in a gay relationship with [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]]...

RDM: Secret, gay forbidden love with Tigh.

Eick: Brokeback Galactica.

RDM: Brokeback Galactica.

(Eick clears throat)

Eick: We definitely were lucky to get the 90 minute because one of the things that had to go if we didn't was this entire Tyrol-[[Cally]] storyline.

RDM: Yeah. Oh the one hour is- I mean we did actually have to cut a one hour- 'cause actually...

Eick: Yeah, for international.

RDM: For international consumption we actually had to do a one hour version and it's almost incomprehensible. And all the joy of this episode is just completely gone. It's just like- races you through little pieces.

Eick: Yeah, and if you happened to see the previous week and you're waiting on the edge of your seat to at least get some sense of closure between Cally and Tyrol after this terrible thing he's done to her, um... you won't be getting any of that. (Laughs).

RDM: No. So for those of you in Spain, I'm really really sorry.

Eick: (Laughing) Sorry.

RDM: Tell your people to buy the 90 minutes from now.

Eick: Um this particular section plays really well for me because, as some of you may know, I'm usually the voice of the 14 year old saying "Don't forget the action." And I love the fact that we open this episode- and this is pretty good combat stuff that Rymer got...

RDM: Yeah, we got some juicy action right there in front of you.

Eick: And that [[IMDB:nm0782890|Andy Seklir]] did a magnificent job cutting together because it's always tough with this stuff. And you know, the show really is not an action show. Battlestar Galactica is a show with action elements to it, but because it's not an action show, we're not set up to do days and days of action photography. We don't have a full-time second unit director to mop up action scenes. And so our ability to do action, in some respects, depends on how on our game we are during prep and how good the director is at that particular discipline.

RDM: Mmhmm.

Eick: And I would say action is not Michael Rymer's favorite thing to do. So when he does it really well, I'm very happy. (Laughs) And this is...

RDM: (Laughing) He doesn't like it. Surprising- he's really good at it, but he doesn't especially enjoy it. I think- from- I- I...

Eick: It's very technical.

RDM: I would suspect for maybe the same reasons I don't enjoy writing it. They're not my favorite scenes to write or action scenes. They are very technical. It's about calling out shots. And it's really in the hands of the director to figure out the rhythm of an action scene, when you cut to certain people, what Kara's gonna do, how high she gets up on an obstacle- I mean all these things are very camera-specific. And for a writer, I just don't find them that really intriguing. So I tend to sort of- "'The Civil War begins', he writes". (Laughs)

Eick: Or or or "They enter the arena and race".

RDM: Yes.

Eick: Yeah, they're very difficult to- in fact, uh um- often times they're not only the hardest to write, they're the dreariest to read. And there's nothing good about them except for watching them.

RDM: Yeah, except for watching them. (unintelligible)

Eick: But I think um...

RDM: I love this look on [[Kara]]'s face here at the end of that scene. The way (unintelligible).

Eick: Well honestly a lot of it does come down to the performances. You're as invested in an action scene as the actors are forcing you to be and...

RDM: Yeah, we got really lucky, obviously, with her.

Eick: This was- the first time I saw this episode this was my favorite [[Mary McDonnell]] scene in ages just because it's such a different color for her. (Laughs)

RDM: Oh I know. I love the fact that she finally says "[[frak]]" and she apologizes immediately for it, "I'm sorry my language".

Eick: Also this was the episode where I think we all sort of agree that [[Tory Foster|Tory]] was gonna- was here to stay.

RDM: Yeah.

Eick: She's a really interesting character. She's a very different energy than [[Billy]] was. I love the way Mary plays against her.

RDM: Tory's somebody we should find the first couple of episodes the next season. Yeah, what happened to Tory during the occupation?

Eick: Yeah, I have that note actually.

RDM: Do you? Oh good! We're actually- as we speak, David and I, just before the podcast began we were discussing episodes one and two of season three because I've written the first drafts of the first two episodes and we're starting to sort of figure out exactly what season three is. Yeah, Tory. We should do something with Tory.

Eick: Yeah, yeah. She's a really nice foil in a way- in her own way- for the [[Laura Roslin|Laura]] character, where as Billy was sort of a professional sycophant. I mean it was always impressive when he would stand up to her but it was a big shift for him. I think in a way we're playing the opposite rhythm with Tory.

RDM: Yeah, Tory's more her own woman.

Eick: She's gonna be in Laura's face, maybe in some respects more than Laura wants her to be.

RDM: Yeah, I like that. I like that aspect of the character and she's capable of some nasty shit too. I mean she's gonna - due to the election stuff coming up here.

Eick: Yeah.

RDM: This is like an example of the art department doing a lot with very little. They had no budget to do this with. I think I wrote in the script that they were in a [[wikipedia:redoubt|redoubt]], I called it, or a [[wikipedia:Bunker#Pillbox|pillbox]] or something that uh-

Eick: First time I've ever heard that word. Redoubt. (higher voice) Redoubt.

RDM: And [[Samuel Anders|Anders]] and his guys had some fallback position way up on this mountain, and there was literally almost nothing in the budget to make this thing, whatever it was and [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0399750/ Richard Hudolin] like tearing out his hair a little bit. But then they just came up with this very simple sort of wall which kind of communicates a fortified position without having to actually build a gigantic thing that would break the budget.

Eick: [[IMDB:nm0874001|Michael Trucco]] who plays Anders is someone who's also gonna be back in season three and really has integrated himself in the cast in an interesting way. He's got a great scene coming up later with Kara and [[Lee Adama|Lee]]. I think it's always interesting when you introduce a new actor into a dynamic that you're used to seeing a very certain way, it's hard for them not to stick out.

RDM: Yeah.

Eick: Here you've got [[Helo]] and Kara and Anders here and I would say he sort of seemlessly weaves in. You don't really feel it.

RDM: Yeah, and I like it when he gets back to ''Galactica''. We'll talk about that later but I think this is the episode I like the Anders- Anders the best. I think I really grew to really like the character and the actor in this episode most of all.

RDM: Cylon-occupied [[wikipedia:Vancouver|Vancouver]].

Eick: Yes, it's certainly a city and series of locations that we've shot the hell out of.

RDM: Oh my gosh.

Eick: This is of course [[The_Twelve_Colonies_%28RDM%29#Caprica|Caprica]]. It's also [[Kobol]]. It's also going to be [[New Caprica]], which you'll see at the end of the episode. And coming up with different ways to shoot it and different ways to dress it and different angles on it has become a big job for our director of photography, [[IMDB:nm0002323|Stephen McNutt]], whose- y'know, God the poor guy's got- (Laughs)

RDM: Oh my God, I know. We just beat up Steve all the time.

Eick: Well y'know, we try to say things like "Well, y'know, Caprica's kind of burnt orange because of the post-nuclear fallout and Kobol is really lush and green. Isn't that enough?" (Laughs)

RDM: Yup. This little B here is a little problematic, I always found. This didn't quite read the way- I think this is a script issue, but the idea was a lot of people come out of their little fortified position and one of them turns out to be [[Cavil|Brother Cavil]]. Doesn't quite- there's a problem as they all turn around and look up at him they look a little bit more surprised than they probably should.

Eick: Yeah as if he's a sudden...

RDM: As if he's a sudden appearance and that wasn't the concept. But you're sort of over and past it in enough time to sort of get the idea.

==[http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/mp3/220/bsg_ep220_2of7.mp3 Act 1]==

RDM: This is a great little scene. This is one of my favorite Laura scenes.

Eick: I for- this was such a good scene.

RDM: It's such a good scene.

Eick: I forgot that it was in the script

RDM: I know. I did too.

Eick: I remember sitting there watching, going "What the hell is this?".

RDM: I wrote it and I was sort of like "Well, it's an ok little scene and y'know he- she tries to convince him and talk it out." It was kind of forgettable and then I saw it and I was like "Wow!"

Eick: It's like an homage to [[wikipedia:All the President's Men (film)|All the President's Men]]. It's the first thing I thought when I saw it... the [[wikipedia:Hal Holbrook|Hal Holbrook]] stuff in the garage, y'know.

RDM: It's really interesting. Yeah. The way he chose to stage this, putting her in shadow, her sitting down.

Eick: In the script did it say all the lights are off?

RDM: I don't think so. I don't think it did at all.

Eick: That's what threw me off.

RDM: I think he just walked in- I think in the script he just walked in and he didn't see anybody at first and she kinda just stepped out of the bathroom or something.

Eick: But it's another scene- I mean this is- we're right now putting the show up for various awards and they want to know what our selects are. And Ron and I were talking about "Well what- you know we definitely want to push Mary McDonnell for Best Actress, so which episode do you choose?" And first blush you say "[[Epiphanies]]" which was an early episode in season two because it was like the Laura episode and "What was Laura doing before the attack?" and all this kind of stuff. Honestly we looked at this- this is her strongest work of the year. It really is.

RDM: Yeah, this is a good good episode for Mary. And there's a beat here- (background noise of what sounds like a toilet flushing) That would be the bathroom. (RDM & Eick laugh) We're in my office today by the way. There's no garbage trucks, but there is a bathroom.

Eick: There is, however, [[wikipedia:scotch whiskey|scotch]].

RDM: There is scotch and I'm about to completely break the law and smoke in here. Come and get me, Arnold!

(Eick laughs)

RDM: When he- when she says "The-" uh, we have the sound turned down so it's always- it's hard to- oh no, we were past it. There was a beat there where she says "I think settlement on the planet is the most important thing to face humanity" and Baltar just sits back and stares at her for a long time and then he finally says "Ok, you're right."

Eick: Yeah! (Laughs)

RDM: There's something so great about that like you don't know what he's gonna do. And then he kind of has to concede the point even as Baltar, he has to sort of "Yeah, ok you're right." (Lights cigarette)

Eick: Well, I wish it was [[wikipedia:Super Bowl|Super Bowl Sunday]], I could have one of those with ya.

RDM: It's the season finale, doesn't that count?

Eick: No.

RDM: You can do one on the Super Bowl and one on the season- Dave is an ex-smoker. I'm a recent smoker.

Eick: I'm an ex-smoker, I get one a year. Ron's a re-smoker, we call him.

RDM: I'm a re- recent smoker. I've only been smoking for a couple years. There's been endless discussion on the podcast, by the way, of me smoking. [[IMDB:nm0237499|Terry]] was a guest star last week.

Eick: Was she?

RDM: And she was busting my chops about smoking because I've got into this habit of watching the show and podcasting and chainsmoking through it. It's now literally the place I smoke the most. I now smoke more during the podcast than-

Eick: So were it not for these podcasts, you might have made it to 50.

RDM: That's right!

Eick: Oh well, anything for the show.

RDM: Anything for my fans.

Eick: (Laughing sarcastically) "My fans."

RDM: My people. My- my- my peeps.

RDM: And we talked a lot about whether this moment should happen or not... Whether Laura should-

Eick: Well it was out in the first cut.

RDM: It was out in the first cut. When she calls him on the y'know, "I saw you with a blonde woman on Caprica."

Eick: But isn't it interesting though, and Rym- I'm gonna bust Rymer's balls on this, he always cuts the stuff that's like the best stuff he does.

RDM: Yeah.

Eick: Like that transition right there where [[Six]] is suddenly there...

RDM: I know. It's a great transition.

Eick: It gives me chills every time I watch it. It's really effective. And he did that- and now I have to admit, even though I think a lot of it was about execution, I- there were a variety of different versions in the previous episode of Mary cracking up laughing- she cracks up laughing.

RDM: Yeah, that's right.

Eick: And there were versions of it that I hated because there were so- I just thought they were awkwardly done. And Ron and I were in the editing room and literally the editor sped by some piece that had been omitted and it was perfect! It was like exactly the moment that made it work. I don't know, I think- you know what it is? We're giving him too much time in the editing room. You gotta kick him out.

RDM: You gotta kick him out.

Eick: He's overthinking. He's cutting out his best stuff.

RDM: He gets there and he starts to worry that it's not working. He shoots amazing stuff though. This scene was gonna be gone too. I mean all this- all the texture of the show was going to have to be gone if we had to actually made this an hour. I like this little thing with [[Ellen]] and Tigh and the deal that they make in their marriage, because there was something important to me about saying that they- really it's a completely screwed up, dysfunctional marriage but it works for them. And they come to this place where Ellen says "How long?" and he says, "A year." Ok, whatever, a year! And she actually stands by him. Ironically, fine at the other side of the job.

Eick: But you know, we cut the year.

RDM: Oh we cut the year?

Eick: Yeah. (Laughs)

RDM: Oh, well ignore me then. I got a rewrite project. I'll rewrite episode one, like, right now!

Eick: That was one of my moves to get us the time, buddy.

RDM: That's what you're doing on the dub side?

Eick: There's no more- There's no more reference to one year.

RDM: Oh yeah. "Shortly later..." "A little while afterwards..."

Eick: No, what's great about that scene though- is that he- was that the scene where he says "Go on, cat a round."

RDM: Yeah, "Go cat around."

Eick: I love that because you're suddenly aware of the fact that Tigh knows.

RDM: He knows! He knows!

Eick: And it's great because you realize that they've got this unholy alliance where they sort of understand each other.

RDM: He knows who he's married to! He knows. This is a great little beat too. I like this. I wrote this in the script that this is Kara having to introduce the new boyfriend to her father.

Eick: Yeah, I love that too.

RDM: And I like the fact that he says "I'm more of a [[Picon Panthers]] fan, myself." (Laughs) He couldn't resist!

Eick: Yeah, I know. I don't know if you agree with this... This is one of those scenes that came out exactly the way I imagined it when I read it.

RDM: Yeah, actually, me too. I did.

Eick: Her awkwardness about having to introduce him to Adama.

RDM: Even camera-side... like she's on the left, he's on the right, is the way I pictured it in my mind. That's one of those things that I almost always get wrong.

Eick: Yeah, it never works out the way you imagine.

Eick: This is um- Yeah, [[code blue]].

RDM: Code blue.

Eick: Isn't that a colloquialism of our- I mean-

RDM: It's something from a hospital. You hear them yell "code blue" a lot.

Eick: Code blue, I guess-

RDM: This is one of those technical terms, I was just like "OK, and he would yell- wouldn't there be something if you saw a Cylon and you knew it you would just scream-"

Eick: What is code red then? Is code-

RDM: I avoided red just 'cause of the Star Trek reference to it so-

Eick: Oh, 'cause people in red shirts die or something?

RDM: No, red alert is like the thing.

Eick: Oh is that what they say on Star Trek?

RDM: (In cartoonish voice) Alert! (Makes alarm noises) [[wikipedia:Red Alert (Star Trek)|Red alert]]!

Eick: I see.

RDM: David's never seen [[wikipedia:Star Trek|Star Trek]].

Eick: I've never actually- I heard it's a good show.

RDM: Some of you should actually send David the DVD sets of the entire Star Trek series.

Eick: (Laughs) Well, who knows, I might start ripping that off too.

Eick: The other performance in this episode that I really love is [[Grace Park]].

RDM: Oh I know. She's really good.

Eick: She's got the hardest job- she and [[Tricia Helfer]] I think have got the hardest jobs on this show because they've got to play, not multiple characters 'cause actors have done that and you can sort of make certain choices and go in certain extreme directions and pull that off.

Hooray! A search of the deletion log for user Day returns:

It has begun! Still no entries in the block log yet, but Spence and I don't either. Probably because of our intimidation factor. (Or maybe because I was sleeping on the job while Peter or Joe was actually looking after the place.) Congrats on the first delete!

Laineylain: /* Epiphanies Complete */

== Welcome ==
Welcome to the wiki! Thanks for the help on the [[Battlestar Wiki:Podcast Transcripts]]! That's an area we are falling behind on (because they just keep making more of them). I'll get on verifying it ASAP. Oh. And this wouldn't be an official greeting without the obligatory [[Battlestar Wiki:Standards and Conventions|Standards and Conventions link]]. It appears that you already know how to datestamp(<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>), and you are welcome to edit [[User:Misco|your user page]] to tell us more about you.--[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 15:12, 14 February 2006 (EST)

==Transcription Technique==
Are you actually able to transcribe real-time? (That is to say, type it out as fast as the audio goes.) The few errors I catch are because I have to listen to each section two or three times, so I get the nitpicky stuff that I would have missed if I could keep up with the audio. Either way, it's amazing work. (And it appears to have inspired [[User:Peter Farago|others]] to pitch in again, as well.) --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 23:45, 14 February 2006 (EST)

:Haha, I wish... I never even learned to type 'properly'! I'm sure there are more than a few errors, every now and then I come across a word or a phrase that I can't quite make out so I just take my best guess. Thanks for the compliment anyway, although I'm sure you're just being nice. Also it's always nice to be an inspiration! --[[User:Misco|Misco]] 00:53, 15 February 2006 (EST)

::Well, [http://www.battlestarwiki.org/en/index.php?title=Flight_of_the_Phoenix_%28podcast%29&diff=32064&oldid=32060 diffs] don't lie. That's some pretty minor stuff. As for "proper" typing... I think it's over-rated anyway. I'm definitely an "ends justify the means" guy when it comes to typing, but that may be due to a lack of formal training myself. I'd actually love to learn to use a Dvorak or some other "optimized" keyboard layout, but I fear I would be lost if I sat down at any other keyboard after that. Well... back to work. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 08:56, 15 February 2006 (EST)

Misco, you are insane. And fantastic. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 22:28, 15 February 2006 (EST)

:Well, I'm not going to argue with that. ;) --[[User:Misco|Misco]] 03:48, 16 February 2006 (EST)

== Epiphanies Complete ==
Hooray! Thanks for finishing epiphanies! (See? People really do read it.) Between you and [[User:Laineylain|Laineylain]], more is getting done in the transcript department than had been done since it has existed. Thanks!--[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 07:37, 14 March 2006 (CST)

Woohoo, Misco! How awesome is it that we found each other on the LiveJournal battlestar_blog community yesterday? Small world :) P.S. I think you're the only other female I've seen here. LOL -- [[User:Laineylain|Laineylain]] 10:57, 14 March 2006 (CST)

Laineylain: added my username to currently transcribing Act 1 of LDYB 2

{{project|Podcast Transcripts}}

This project is meant to coordinate and standardize the transcription of Ronald D. Moore's freely available episode podcasts. Our goal is to produce a searchable text repository for purposes of citation. At this time, we will only be transcribing freely available podcasts from [http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/ SciFi.com], not additonal DVD commentaries. Ron D. Moore and David Eick have recorded commentary tracks for the [[Mini-series]] (also including director Michael Rymer), "[[33]]", "[[Bastille Day]]", "[[Act of Contrition]]", and "[[You Can't Go Home Again]]". However, they have not been put up online for free but are only available in the Season 1 DVD set. Therefore, transcripts of these are not provided here, though relevant quotes may be found sourced in certain articles on Battlestar Wiki.

This project is a daughter of the [[Battlestar Wiki:Citation Jihad|Citation Jihad]].

==Standards==

===Namespace===
Podcast transcripts should be named after the episode to which they correspond with the addition of the (podcast) namespace, for example, [[Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down (podcast)]].

===Structure===
Begin each podcast article with the template
<nowiki>{{podcast|author=YourNameHere}}</nowiki>.

Use first-level headings to divide Teaser and Act breaks. Make each heading an offsite link to the appropriate podcast segment, e.g.

==[<nowiki>http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/mp3/109/bsg_ep109_1of5.mp3</nowiki> Teaser]==

Try to break up RDMs comments into paragraphs along topical lines.

===Transcription===
RDM frequently uses "uh", "um" and "y'know" as discourse particles. For readabilities sake, try to exclude these where they interrupt the flow of an otherwise grammatical sentence.

Where RDM interrupts himself, end the last word of the first statement with an emdash. You may include whatever discourse particles he uses to introduce the next thought. For example:

"I think it's a very good movie, one that I always thought was a— y'know, prime for us to do a riff on."

Generally, you may ignore emphasis except where RDM's tone is critical to the interpretation of a statement (e.g. sarcasm).

===Links===
Where RDM mentions a BSG episode or character, link to our own article. Where he mentions a television show or actor which we do not have (or need) our own article for, offer a link to the corresponding page on IMDB. If another resource such as Wikipedia or Memory Alpha has more comprehensive information, you may link there at your discression. To avoid overlinking, only link once per act break.

===Corrections===
Except for simple spelling errors, do not offer a "correction" without first having listened to the relevant portion of the recording. Always leave a comment on the talk page explaining your change.

==Checkins==
When you begin work on a transcription, place your name beside the segment you are working on. When you've completed and uploaded it, mark your name next to "Transcribed". Afterwards, it would be helpful for a second user to verify the transcription.

Podcast:Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II

2006-03-12T00:24:17Z

Laineylain: /* Teaser mislabeled as Act 1

==[http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/mp3/220/bsg_ep220_1of7.mp3 Teaser]==

Hello and welcome to the podcast for episode 20 of epi- of season two. I'm [[Ronald D. Moore]], executive producer and developer of [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|the new Battlestar Galactica]]. And I'm [[David Eick]], court jester. 
RDM: And we're here to discuss the season finale. Yes, it's all come down to this, boys and girls. And we have a 90 minute special to go through and lots of ground to cover. This episode really deals with possibly every single plot thread we've established in the show and tries to deal with it in some fashion, which is in part the reason why this ultimately became a 90 minute episode. 
Eick: We experienced this a number of times this year, as some of you may know. We broke a story that was intended to be the first episode of the second ten of season two called "[[Resurrection Ship]]", which after [[Michael Rymer]] got done with it, became "[[Resurrection Ship, Part I|Resurrection Ship, Parts 1]] and [[Resurrection Ship, Part II|2]]". 
RDM: Almost three. 
Eick: And even before that- yeah, almost three- and even before that, "[[Pegasus]]" wanted to be a 90 minute and we were unable to move the various pieces that were required to make that happen and I think we were just able to get it under the wire as a one hour episode. But this one when it came in, we just knew. There was definitely a two hour version- well, there's definitely a 90 minute version, there might have been a two hour version, but there for sure was not a one hour version. 
RDM: Yeah a one hour. 'Cause Rymer's cut- the one that Rymer gave to us was what, 20 something minutes long? 
Eick: Yeah. In fact it was a different cut, but it was actually almost exactly this running length. 
RDM: Oh, was it? 
Eick: Yeah. It would have aired as a 90 minute episode and it was missing things that we missed and felt was needed, and had things in it that we didn't think was as necessary. But it was very clear- because he had been working on it, at that point, for weeks trying to get it down that far. And and so we were- it was nothing but shear panic and alarm at first because when you say to a network, "Well, we got a show that is supposed to air in a one hour slot and we need you to give us more time," the ripple effect of that is pretty cataclysmic. I mean they gotta go to their advertisers, their sales people, and their scheduling people, and it affects other shows and their programming, and so it was a big deal getting them to approve this and you know, thank goodness that they did. 
RDM: And we briefly tried to make a two hour version of this which could have been easier for everybody 'cause then you could always carve it up into two discrete episodes. But the two hour sort of universal agreement dragged. It didn't really have the pace. It just went on too long. And it's still- even then it was still a little short. It didn't quite actually make it to two hours. 
Eick: The other oddity about this structure- and I realized this on the dub stage yesterday- is that they open with the recap and then go right to the main title. 
RDM: Yeah, it does. 
Eick: Now, I don't know... Is there a commercial after the main title? 
RDM: There's a commercial after the main title. 
Eick: Oh so the audience doesn't even get any original material before they gotta go to commercial? 
RDM: I don't think so, unless they- maybe they restructure it on air which you can tell us. But I believe we go from main title to first commercial break. 
Eick: Oh. Well yeah. Please tell a friend not to change the channel during the uh... 
RDM: Because I think that was dictated by the way acts had to be structured for 90 minutes, like teaser or whatever it was was so long that it was ridiculous to put the main title, you know, like 12 minutes in or 15 minutes into the show or something. 
Eick: I'd also say, just to be totally candid, 'cause I know Ron has spoken and he certainly reflected my opinion as well about some of the episodes in the second half of season two that weren't favorites. And it was really encouraging getting into "[[Downloaded]]" and then to the first part of this episode and now this one, to really kind of get back to what I think excites both of us about the show and a lot of that has to do with the fact that we have Michael Rymer back directing of course. 
RDM: Yeah. 
Eick: But I'm really proud of this one in particular. This really kind of has, in its own way, all the pathos, all the emotional potency, and a lot of the danger and the darkness that I think make Battlestar Galactica a unique show. It's really- it took some doing to get it there, but I think this is definitely one of the better episodes. 
RDM: Yeah, I'm very proud of the show. This is a- I like it because ultimately where it goes at the end. It's a risky show. It's pushing the boundaries of what the show is... What your preconceptions of the show should be. By the end of the episode, once we make the giant leap forward, you start feeling like "Oh my God, anything's possible. What are these maniacs doing?" They've really dynamited the entire Galactica universe and started over. That's a really refreshing, fun thing to do in a television series because typically, you're making the same show week in week out, to a large extent. You're not varying the format so much that you're really challenging people, by and large. I mean every sh- that's not an absolute rule. But it's great to be able to really be true to what the premise of the show is, and take it into these sort of different directions periodically. 

Eick: Now where- this thing gets published on the internet before the show airs. 
RDM: It goes out that day... the same day as the broadcast. 
Eick: So are we gonna talk- 
RDM: We can talk about- oh yeah, we spoil- I spoil the episode all the time. Anyone who listens to the podcast wants to be spoiled. They're gonna know the whole plot. We can talk about the- 
Eick: Alright. We can talk about the fact that [[Tyrol]] ends up in a gay relationship with [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]]... 
RDM: Secret, gay forbidden love with Tigh. 
Eick: Brokeback Galactica. 
RDM: Brokeback Galactica. 
(Eick clears throat) 

Eick: We definitely were lucky to get the 90 minute because one of the things that had to go if we didn't was this entire Tyrol-[[Cally]] storyline. 
RDM: Yeah. Oh the one hour is- I mean we did actually have to cut a one hour- 'cause actually... 
Eick: Yeah, for international. 
RDM: For international consumption we actually had to do a one hour version and it's almost incomprehensible. And all the joy of this episode is completely gone. It's just like- races you through little pieces. 
Eick: Yeah, and if you happened to see the preview this week and you're waiting on the edge of your seat to at least get some sense of closure between Cally and Tyrol after this terrible thing he's done to her, um... you won't be getting any of that. (Laughs). 
RDM: No. So for those of you in Spain, I'm really really sorry. 
Eick: (Laughing) Sorry. 
RDM: Tell your people to buy the 90 minutes from now. 
Eick: Um this particular section plays really well for me because, as some of you may know, I'm usually the voice of the 14 year old saying "Don't forget the action." And I love the fact that we open this episode- and this is pretty good combat stuff that Rymer got... 
RDM: Yeah, we got some juicy action right there in front of you. 
Eick: And that [[IMDB:nm0782890|Andy Seklir]] did a magnificent job cutting together because it's always tough with this stuff. And you know, the show really is not an action show. Battlestar Galactica is a show with action elements to it, but because it's not an action show, we're not set up to do days and days of action photography. We don't have a full-time second unit director to mop up action scenes. And so our ability to do action, in some respects, depends on how on our game we are during prep and how good the director is at that particular discipline. 
RDM: Mmhmm. 
Eick: And I would say action is not Michael Rymer's favorite thing to do. So when he does it really well, I'm very happy. (Laughs) And this is... 
RDM: (Laughing) He doesn't like it. Surprising- he's really good at it, but he doesn't especially enjoy it. I think- from- I- I... 
Eick: It's very technical. 
RDM: I would suspect for maybe the same reasons I don't enjoy writing it. They're not my favorite scenes to write or action scenes. They are very technical. It's about calling out shots. And it's really in the hands of the director to figure out the rhythm of an action scene, when you cut to certain people, what Kara's gonna do, how high she gets up on an obstacle- I mean all these things are very camera-specific. And for a writer, I just don't find them that really intriguing. So I tend to sort of- "'The Civil War begins', he writes". (Laughs) 
Eick: Or or or "They enter the arena and race". 
RDM: Yes. 
Eick: Yeah, they're very difficult to- in fact, uh um- often times they're not only the hardest to write, they're the dreariest to read. And there's nothing good about them except for watching them. 
RDM: Yeah, except for watching them. (unintelligible) 
Eick: But I think um... 
RDM: I love this look on [[Kara]]'s face here at the end of that scene. The way (unintelligible). 
Eick: Well honestly a lot of it does come down to the performances. You're as invested in an action scene as the actors are forcing you to be and... 
RDM: Yeah, we got really lucky, obviously, with her. 
Eick: This was- the first time I saw this episode this was my favorite [[Mary McDonnell]] scene in ages just because it's such a different color for her. (Laughs) 
RDM: Oh I know. I love the fact that she finally says "[[frak]]" and she apologizes immediately for it, "I'm sorry my language". 
Eick: Also this was the episode where I think we all sort of agree that [[Tory Foster|Tory]] was gonna- was here to stay. 
RDM: Yeah. 
Eick: She's a really interesting character. She's a very different energy than [[Billy]] was. I love the way Mary plays against her. 
RDM: Tory's somebody we should find the first couple of episodes the next season. Yeah, what happened to Tory during the occupation? 
Eick: Yeah, I have that note actually. 
RDM: Do you? Oh good! We're actually- as we speak, David and I, just before the podcast began we were discussing episodes one and two of season three because I've written the first drafts of the first two episodes and we're starting to sort of figure out exactly what season three is. Yeah, Tory. We should do something with Tory. 
Eick: Yeah, yeah. She's a really nice foil in a way- in her own way- for the [[Laura Roslin|Laura]] character, where as Billy was sort of a professional sycophant. I mean it was always impressive when he would stand up to her but it was a big shift for him. I think in a way we're playing the opposite rhythm with Tory. 
RDM: Yeah, Tory's more her own woman. 
Eick: She's gonna be in Laura's face, maybe in some respects more than Laura wants her to be. 
RDM: Yeah, I like that. I like that aspect of the character and she's capable of some nasty shit too. I mean she's gonna - due to the election stuff coming up here. 
Eick: Yeah. 
RDM: This is like an example of the art department doing a lot with very little. They had no budget to do this with. I think I wrote in the script that they were in a [[wikipedia:redoubt|redoubt]], I called it, or a [[wikipedia:Bunker#Pillbox|pillbox]] or something that uh- 
Eick: First time I've ever heard that word. 
RDM: Redoubt. Redoubt. And [[Samuel Anders|Anders]] and his guys had some fallback position way up on this mountain, and there was literally almost nothing in the budget to make this thing, whatever it was and (unintelligible) and tearing out his hair a little bit. But then they just came up with this very simple sort of wall which kind of communicates a fortified position without having to actually build a gigantic thing that would break the budget. 
Eick: [[IMDB:nm0874001|Michael Trucco]] who plays Anders is someone who's also gonna be back in season three and really has integrated himself in the cast in an interesting way. He's got a great scene coming up later with Kara and [[Lee Adama|Lee]]. I think it's always interesting when you introduce a new actor into a dynamic that you're used to seeing a very certain way, it's hard for them not to stick out. 
RDM: Yeah. 
Eick: Here you've got [[Helo]] and Kara and Anders here and I would say he sort of seemlessly weaves in. You don't really feel it. 
RDM: Yeah, and I like it when he gets back to ''Galactica''. We'll talk about that later but I think this is the episode I like the Anders- Anders the best. I think I really grew to really like the character and the actor in this episode most of all. 

RDM: Cylon-occupied [[wikipedia:Vancouver|Vancouver]]. 
Eick: Yes, it's certainly a city and series of locations that we've shot the hell out of. 
RDM: Oh my gosh. 
Eick: This is of course [[The_Twelve_Colonies_%28RDM%29#Caprica|Caprica]]. It's also [[Kobol]]. It's also going to be [[New Caprica]], which you'll see at the end of the episode. And coming up with different ways to shoot it and different ways to dress it and different angles on it has become a big job for our director of photography, [[IMDB:nm0002323|Stephen McNutt]], whose- y'know, God the poor guy's got- (Laughs) 
RDM: Oh my God, I know. We just beat up Steve all the time. 
Eick: Well y'know, we try to say things like "Well, y'know, Caprica's kind of burnt orange because of the post-nuclear fallout and Kobol is really lush and green. Isn't that enough?" (Laughs) 
RDM: Yup. This little B here is a little problematic, I always found. This didn't quite read the way- I think this is a script issue, but the idea was a lot of people come out of their little fortified position and one of them turns out to be [[Cavil|Brother Cavil]]. Doesn't quite- there's a problem as they all turn around and look up at him they look a little bit more surprised than they probably should. 
Eick: Yeah as if he's a sudden... 
RDM: As if he's a sudden appearance and that wasn't the concept. But you're sort of over and past it in enough time to sort of get the idea.

Battlestar Wiki:Podcast Transcripts

2006-03-12T00:17:18Z

Laineylain: /* Checkins */ Added name to completed transcription

{{project|Podcast Transcripts}}

This project is meant to coordinate and standardize the transcription of Ronald D. Moore's freely available episode podcasts. Our goal is to produce a searchable text repository for purposes of citation. At this time, we will only be transcribing freely available podcasts from [http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/ SciFi.com], not additonal DVD commentaries. Ron D. Moore and David Eick have recorded commentary tracks for the [[Mini-series]] (also including director Michael Rymer), "[[33]]", "[[Bastille Day]]", "[[Act of Contrition]]", and "[[You Can't Go Home Again]]". However, they have not been put up online for free but are only available in the Season 1 DVD set. Therefore, transcripts of these are not provided here, though relevant quotes may be found sourced in certain articles on Battlestar Wiki.

This project is a daughter of the [[Battlestar Wiki:Citation Jihad|Citation Jihad]].

==Standards==

===Namespace===
Podcast transcripts should be named after the episode to which they correspond with the addition of the (podcast) namespace, for example, [[Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down (podcast)]].

===Structure===
Begin each podcast article with the template
<nowiki>{{podcast|author=YourNameHere}}</nowiki>.

Use first-level headings to divide Teaser and Act breaks. Make each heading an offsite link to the appropriate podcast segment, e.g.

==[<nowiki>http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/mp3/109/bsg_ep109_1of5.mp3</nowiki> Teaser]==

Try to break up RDMs comments into paragraphs along topical lines.

===Transcription===
RDM frequently uses "uh", "um" and "y'know" as discourse particles. For readabilities sake, try to exclude these where they interrupt the flow of an otherwise grammatical sentence.

Where RDM interrupts himself, end the last word of the first statement with an emdash. You may include whatever discourse particles he uses to introduce the next thought. For example:

"I think it's a very good movie, one that I always thought was a— y'know, prime for us to do a riff on."

Generally, you may ignore emphasis except where RDM's tone is critical to the interpretation of a statement (e.g. sarcasm).

===Links===
Where RDM mentions a BSG episode or character, link to our own article. Where he mentions a television show or actor which we do not have (or need) our own article for, offer a link to the corresponding page on IMDB. If another resource such as Wikipedia or Memory Alpha has more comprehensive information, you may link there at your discression. To avoid overlinking, only link once per act break.

===Corrections===
Except for simple spelling errors, do not offer a "correction" without first having listened to the relevant portion of the recording. Always leave a comment on the talk page explaining your change.

==Checkins==

Podcast:Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II

Laineylain: Added Teaser transcript

==[http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/mp3/220/bsg_ep220_1of7.mp3 Act 1]==

Hello and welcome to the podcast for episode 20 of epi- of season two. I'm [[Ronald D. Moore]], executive producer and developer of [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|the new Battlestar Galactica]]. And I'm [[David Eick]], court jester. 
RDM: And we're here to discuss the season finale. Yes, it's all come down to this, boys and girls. And we have a 90 minute special to go through and lots of ground to cover. This episode really deals with possibly every single plot thread we've established in the show and tries to deal with it in some fashion, which is in part the reason why this ultimately became a 90 minute episode. 
Eick: We experienced this a number of times this year, as some of you may know. We broke a story that was intended to be the first episode of the second ten of season two called "[[Resurrection Ship]]", which after [[Michael Rymer]] got done with it, became "[[Resurrection Ship, Part I|Resurrection Ship, Parts 1]] and [[Resurrection Ship, Part II|2]]". 
RDM: Almost three. 
Eick: And even before that- yeah, almost three- and even before that, "[[Pegasus]]" wanted to be a 90 minute and we were unable to move the various pieces that were required to make that happen and I think we were just able to get it under the wire as a one hour episode. But this one when it came in, we just knew. There was definitely a two hour version- well, there's definitely a 90 minute version, there might have been a two hour version, but there for sure was not a one hour version. 
RDM: Yeah a one hour. 'Cause Rymer's cut- the one that Rymer gave to us was what, 20 something minutes long? 
Eick: Yeah. In fact it was a different cut, but it was actually almost exactly this running length. 
RDM: Oh, was it? 
Eick: Yeah. It would have aired as a 90 minute episode and it was missing things that we missed and felt was needed, and had things in it that we didn't think was as necessary. But it was very clear- because he had been working on it, at that point, for weeks trying to get it down that far. And and so we were- it was nothing but shear panic and alarm at first because when you say to a network, "Well, we got a show that is supposed to air in a one hour slot and we need you to give us more time," the ripple effect of that is pretty cataclysmic. I mean they gotta go to their advertisers, their sales people, and their scheduling people, and it affects other shows and their programming, and so it was a big deal getting them to approve this and you know, thank goodness that they did. 
RDM: And we briefly tried to make a two hour version of this which could have been easier for everybody 'cause then you could always carve it up into two discrete episodes. But the two hour sort of universal agreement dragged. It didn't really have the pace. It just went on too long. And it's still- even then it was still a little short. It didn't quite actually make it to two hours. 
Eick: The other oddity about this structure- and I realized this on the dub stage yesterday- is that they open with the recap and then go right to the main title. 
RDM: Yeah, it does. 
Eick: Now, I don't know... Is there a commercial after the main title? 
RDM: There's a commercial after the main title. 
Eick: Oh so the audience doesn't even get any original material before they gotta go to commercial? 
RDM: I don't think so, unless they- maybe they restructure it on air which you can tell us. But I believe we go from main title to first commercial break. 
Eick: Oh. Well yeah. Please tell a friend not to change the channel during the uh... 
RDM: Because I think that was dictated by the way acts had to be structured for 90 minutes, like teaser or whatever it was was so long that it was ridiculous to put the main title, you know, like 12 minutes in or 15 minutes into the show or something. 
Eick: I'd also say, just to be totally candid, 'cause I know Ron has spoken and he certainly reflected my opinion as well about some of the episodes in the second half of season two that weren't favorites. And it was really encouraging getting into "[[Downloaded]]" and then to the first part of this episode and now this one, to really kind of get back to what I think excites both of us about the show and a lot of that has to do with the fact that we have Michael Rymer back directing of course. 
RDM: Yeah. 
Eick: But I'm really proud of this one in particular. This really kind of has, in its own way, all the pathos, all the emotional potency, and a lot of the danger and the darkness that I think make Battlestar Galactica a unique show. It's really- it took some doing to get it there, but I think this is definitely one of the better episodes. 
RDM: Yeah, I'm very proud of the show. This is a- I like it because ultimately where it goes at the end. It's a risky show. It's pushing the boundaries of what the show is... What your preconceptions of the show should be. By the end of the episode, once we make the giant leap forward, you start feeling like "Oh my God, anything's possible. What are these maniacs doing?" They've really dynamited the entire Galactica universe and started over. That's a really refreshing, fun thing to do in a television series because typically, you're making the same show week in week out, to a large extent. You're not varying the format so much that you're really challenging people, by and large. I mean every sh- that's not an absolute rule. But it's great to be able to really be true to what the premise of the show is, and take it into these sort of different directions periodically. 

Eick: Now where- this thing gets published on the internet before the show airs. 
RDM: It goes out that day... the same day as the broadcast. 
Eick: So are we gonna talk- 
RDM: We can talk about- oh yeah, we spoil- I spoil the episode all the time. Anyone who listens to the podcast wants to be spoiled. They're gonna know the whole plot. We can talk about the- 
Eick: Alright. We can talk about the fact that [[Tyrol]] ends up in a gay relationship with [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]]... 
RDM: Secret, gay forbidden love with Tigh. 
Eick: Brokeback Galactica. 
RDM: Brokeback Galactica. 
(Eick clears throat) 

Eick: We definitely were lucky to get the 90 minute because one of the things that had to go if we didn't was this entire Tyrol-[[Cally]] storyline. 
RDM: Yeah. Oh the one hour is- I mean we did actually have to cut a one hour- 'cause actually... 
Eick: Yeah, for international. 
RDM: For international consumption we actually had to do a one hour version and it's almost incomprehensible. And all the joy of this episode is completely gone. It's just like- races you through little pieces. 
Eick: Yeah, and if you happened to see the preview this week and you're waiting on the edge of your seat to at least get some sense of closure between Cally and Tyrol after this terrible thing he's done to her, um... you won't be getting any of that. (Laughs). 
RDM: No. So for those of you in Spain, I'm really really sorry. 
Eick: (Laughing) Sorry. 
RDM: Tell your people to buy the 90 minutes from now. 
Eick: Um this particular section plays really well for me because, as some of you may know, I'm usually the voice of the 14 year old saying "Don't forget the action." And I love the fact that we open this episode- and this is pretty good combat stuff that Rymer got... 
RDM: Yeah, we got some juicy action right there in front of you. 
Eick: And that [[IMDB:nm0782890|Andy Seklir]] did a magnificent job cutting together because it's always tough with this stuff. And you know, the show really is not an action show. Battlestar Galactica is a show with action elements to it, but because it's not an action show, we're not set up to do days and days of action photography. We don't have a full-time second unit director to mop up action scenes. And so our ability to do action, in some respects, depends on how on our game we are during prep and how good the director is at that particular discipline. 
RDM: Mmhmm. 
Eick: And I would say action is not Michael Rymer's favorite thing to do. So when he does it really well, I'm very happy. (Laughs) And this is... 
RDM: (Laughing) He doesn't like it. Surprising- he's really good at it, but he doesn't especially enjoy it. I think- from- I- I... 
Eick: It's very technical. 
RDM: I would suspect for maybe the same reasons I don't enjoy writing it. They're not my favorite scenes to write or action scenes. They are very technical. It's about calling out shots. And it's really in the hands of the director to figure out the rhythm of an action scene, when you cut to certain people, what Kara's gonna do, how high she gets up on an obstacle- I mean all these things are very camera-specific. And for a writer, I just don't find them that really intriguing. So I tend to sort of- "'The Civil War begins', he writes". (Laughs) 
Eick: Or or or "They enter the arena and race". 
RDM: Yes. 
Eick: Yeah, they're very difficult to- in fact, uh um- often times they're not only the hardest to write, they're the dreariest to read. And there's nothing good about them except for watching them. 
RDM: Yeah, except for watching them. (unintelligible) 
Eick: But I think um... 
RDM: I love this look on [[Kara]]'s face here at the end of that scene. The way (unintelligible). 
Eick: Well honestly a lot of it does come down to the performances. You're as invested in an action scene as the actors are forcing you to be and... 
RDM: Yeah, we got really lucky, obviously, with her. 
Eick: This was- the first time I saw this episode this was my favorite [[Mary McDonnell]] scene in ages just because it's such a different color for her. (Laughs) 
RDM: Oh I know. I love the fact that she finally says "[[frak]]" and she apologizes immediately for it, "I'm sorry my language". 
Eick: Also this was the episode where I think we all sort of agree that [[Tory Foster|Tory]] was gonna- was here to stay. 
RDM: Yeah. 
Eick: She's a really interesting character. She's a very different energy than [[Billy]] was. I love the way Mary plays against her. 
RDM: Tory's somebody we should find the first couple of episodes the next season. Yeah, what happened to Tory during the occupation? 
Eick: Yeah, I have that note actually. 
RDM: Do you? Oh good! We're actually- as we speak, David and I, just before the podcast began we were discussing episodes one and two of season three because I've written the first drafts of the first two episodes and we're starting to sort of figure out exactly what season three is. Yeah, Tory. We should do something with Tory. 
Eick: Yeah, yeah. She's a really nice foil in a way- in her own way- for the [[Laura Roslin|Laura]] character, where as Billy was sort of a professional sycophant. I mean it was always impressive when he would stand up to her but it was a big shift for him. I think in a way we're playing the opposite rhythm with Tory. 
RDM: Yeah, Tory's more her own woman. 
Eick: She's gonna be in Laura's face, maybe in some respects more than Laura wants her to be. 
RDM: Yeah, I like that. I like that aspect of the character and she's capable of some nasty shit too. I mean she's gonna - due to the election stuff coming up here. 
Eick: Yeah. 
RDM: This is like an example of the art department doing a lot with very little. They had no budget to do this with. I think I wrote in the script that they were in a [[wikipedia:redoubt|redoubt]], I called it, or a [[wikipedia:Bunker#Pillbox|pillbox]] or something that uh- 
Eick: First time I've ever heard that word. 
RDM: Redoubt. Redoubt. And [[Samuel Anders|Anders]] and his guys had some fallback position way up on this mountain, and there was literally almost nothing in the budget to make this thing, whatever it was and (unintelligible) and tearing out his hair a little bit. But then they just came up with this very simple sort of wall which kind of communicates a fortified position without having to actually build a gigantic thing that would break the budget. 
Eick: [[IMDB:nm0874001|Michael Trucco]] who plays Anders is someone who's also gonna be back in season three and really has integrated himself in the cast in an interesting way. He's got a great scene coming up later with Kara and [[Lee Adama|Lee]]. I think it's always interesting when you introduce a new actor into a dynamic that you're used to seeing a very certain way, it's hard for them not to stick out. 
RDM: Yeah. 
Eick: Here you've got [[Helo]] and Kara and Anders here and I would say he sort of seemlessly weaves in. You don't really feel it. 
RDM: Yeah, and I like it when he gets back to ''Galactica''. We'll talk about that later but I think this is the episode I like the Anders- Anders the best. I think I really grew to really like the character and the actor in this episode most of all. 

RDM: Cylon-occupied [[wikipedia:Vancouver|Vancouver]]. 
Eick: Yes, it's certainly a city and series of locations that we've shot the hell out of. 
RDM: Oh my gosh. 
Eick: This is of course [[The_Twelve_Colonies_%28RDM%29#Caprica|Caprica]]. It's also [[Kobol]]. It's also going to be [[New Caprica]], which you'll see at the end of the episode. And coming up with different ways to shoot it and different ways to dress it and different angles on it has become a big job for our director of photography, [[IMDB:nm0002323|Stephen McNutt]], whose- y'know, God the poor guy's got- (Laughs) 
RDM: Oh my God, I know. We just beat up Steve all the time. 
Eick: Well y'know, we try to say things like "Well, y'know, Caprica's kind of burnt orange because of the post-nuclear fallout and Kobol is really lush and green. Isn't that enough?" (Laughs) 
RDM: Yup. This little B here is a little problematic, I always found. This didn't quite read the way- I think this is a script issue, but the idea was a lot of people come out of their little fortified position and one of them turns out to be [[Cavil|Brother Cavil]]. Doesn't quite- there's a problem as they all turn around and look up at him they look a little bit more surprised than they probably should. 
Eick: Yeah as if he's a sudden... 
RDM: As if he's a sudden appearance and that wasn't the concept. But you're sort of over and past it in enough time to sort of get the idea.

Battlestar Wiki:Podcast Transcripts

2006-03-11T23:35:36Z

Laineylain: /* Checkins */ Added LDYB 2

{{project|Podcast Transcripts}}

This project is meant to coordinate and standardize the transcription of Ronald D. Moore's freely available episode podcasts. Our goal is to produce a searchable text repository for purposes of citation. At this time, we will only be transcribing freely available podcasts from [http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/ SciFi.com], not additonal DVD commentaries. Ron D. Moore and David Eick have recorded commentary tracks for the [[Mini-series]] (also including director Michael Rymer), "[[33]]", "[[Bastille Day]]", "[[Act of Contrition]]", and "[[You Can't Go Home Again]]". However, they have not been put up online for free but are only available in the Season 1 DVD set. Therefore, transcripts of these are not provided here, though relevant quotes may be found sourced in certain articles on Battlestar Wiki.

This project is a daughter of the [[Battlestar Wiki:Citation Jihad|Citation Jihad]].

==Standards==

===Namespace===
Podcast transcripts should be named after the episode to which they correspond with the addition of the (podcast) namespace, for example, [[Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down (podcast)]].

===Structure===
Begin each podcast article with the template
<nowiki>{{podcast|author=YourNameHere}}</nowiki>.

Use first-level headings to divide Teaser and Act breaks. Make each heading an offsite link to the appropriate podcast segment, e.g.

==[<nowiki>http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/mp3/109/bsg_ep109_1of5.mp3</nowiki> Teaser]==

Try to break up RDMs comments into paragraphs along topical lines.

===Transcription===
RDM frequently uses "uh", "um" and "y'know" as discourse particles. For readabilities sake, try to exclude these where they interrupt the flow of an otherwise grammatical sentence.

Where RDM interrupts himself, end the last word of the first statement with an emdash. You may include whatever discourse particles he uses to introduce the next thought. For example:

"I think it's a very good movie, one that I always thought was a— y'know, prime for us to do a riff on."

Generally, you may ignore emphasis except where RDM's tone is critical to the interpretation of a statement (e.g. sarcasm).

===Links===
Where RDM mentions a BSG episode or character, link to our own article. Where he mentions a television show or actor which we do not have (or need) our own article for, offer a link to the corresponding page on IMDB. If another resource such as Wikipedia or Memory Alpha has more comprehensive information, you may link there at your discression. To avoid overlinking, only link once per act break.

===Corrections===
Except for simple spelling errors, do not offer a "correction" without first having listened to the relevant portion of the recording. Always leave a comment on the talk page explaining your change.

==Checkins==
When you begin work on a transcription, place your name beside the segment you are working on. When you've completed and uploaded it, mark your name next to "Transcribed". Afterwards, it would be helpful for a second user to verify the transcription.

== Overview ==

: ''Everything turns on its head as the survivors vote for a new president -- and vote for their fate.''

== Summary ==

===On Caprica===

*[[Kara Thrace|Starbuck]], the marines, and the [[resistance(movement)|]] continue to take fire from Cylon centurions and artillery. They make their way up a hill, and hold their position.
*The Cylons hold fire, and Sharon remarks that the Cylons will attempt to capture them with non-lethal weapons, such as gas.
*18 hours later, they emerge to find that the Cylons has disappeared. Behind them, [[Cavil]] -- who suddenly appears behind them -- announces that the Cylons have left the Twelve Colonies and that humanity was spared.

===In the Fleet===

*[[Cally]] is cleared back to work by [[Cottle|Dr. Cottle]], despite having her jaw wired shut (which illicits a sexist observation from the doctor). [[Tyrol|Chief Tyrol]] visits her, apologizing for the attack. Cally forgives him, saying that she’s always cared for him.

*[[Gaius Baltar|Dr. Baltar]] continues to gain in the polls. On [[Colonial One]], Tory mentions there’s always a victory plan. [[Laura Roslin|Roslin]] later calls a private meeting with Dr. Baltar, asking to deliver a joint statement of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_%28verb%29 tabling] the issue of colonization until after the election, which Baltar rejects.

*[[Kara Thrace|Starbuck]] returns to [[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]], with the resistance fighters, much to the delight of Admiral Adama. She mentions the fact that the Cylons have left Caprica, and a man appearing to be Brother Cavill confirms it. He also says he has a message, but is attacked by Chief Tyrol, claiming he’s a Cylon. Both Cavill and Caprica-Sharon are escorted to the brig under marine guard.

*The other Cavill (from last episode) is also taken to the brig, claiming he’s not a Cylon, but changes his tune upon seeing his copy. Both Cavills then talk about the fact that the “war heroes” (Caprica Six & Galactica-Sharon) have talked about how the attack of the colonies and the pursuit of the fleet were mistakes. They were told to relay the message that man and Cylon will go their separate ways. Both Roslin and Admiral Adama are less than trusting regarding the message.

*Election Day has arrived and Baltar has an apparent 5,000 vote lead over Roslin with only a few ships left. On Colonial One, Tory makes a call to Galactica, putting a plan into action.

*Amazingly, Roslin initially appears to have retained the presidency. While most are celebrating, Lt. Gaeta makes a starting discovery regarding the votes, and informs the Admiral that Col. Tigh may be involved in a conspiracy to throw the election.

*Admiral Adama confronts Roslin regarding the conspiracy, saying he has a confession to rig the vote. Roslin admits her involvement and Adama is disappointed.

*Baltar is informed of his nomination as President. He’s less than pleased, vowing to have full investigation in time. President-elect Baltar then orders a course for “New Caprica”.

*[[Gaius Baltar]] is sworn in as the new President of the Twelve Colonies, and orders the immediate colonization of New Caprica.

*''[[Cloud 9]]'' is destroyed by a nuclear blast, Gina being present before the explosion; in addition to the ''Cloud 9'', at least two other ships are destroyed in the blast. Admiral Adama reports to the president that this may be a Cylon attack, but Baltar ignores him and presses forward with colonization.

===One Year Later===

*[[Felix Gaeta|Mr. Gaeta]] is reporting to the President regarding a Union issue aboard Colonial One, now down on the planet. Baltar is upset, saying there have been no Cylon attacks but the people still complain. He has regressed, turning to alcohol, medication, and womanizing.

*Admiral Adama, now donning a mustache, is walking around a near-empty Galactica, the ship falling into disarray. Over half of the crew has moved down to the planet, and they are running on such a skeleton crew that they barely have enough pilots to fly training missions, much less a good CAP. Adama has a discussion with Tigh about going down to the planet, which Tigh reluctantly agrees to.

*[[Samuel Anders|Anders]], now Kara’s husband, is sick. Dr. Cottle is saying he can’t do much for him, saying there’s no medication available.

*Kara runs into the Tighs as [[Tyrol]] is making a speech to begin a strike, a pregnant Cally by his side. Saul mentions that there should be some medicine aboard Pegasus.

*Kara calls Lee aboard Pegasus to requesting medication. Dualla is now an officer, serving by Lee Adama's side in Pegasus' CIC. Before Lee can reply, Dualla catches something on [[DRADIS]].

*A fleet of [[Cylon]] [[Basestar (RDM)|basestar]]s arrive in orbit around New Caprica. The Adamas are having a discussion about what to do, when [[Helo]] asks if alert fighters should be launched. Admiral Adama keeps them in as the defense fleet jumps away.

*Mr. Gaeta informs the President of the Cylon approach. Later, before his assembled staff, copies of Number 5, 8, and 6 approach the President. The Cylons declare that as long as there’s no resistance, no harm will come. President Baltar declares surrender on behalf of the colonists, and as Cylon armies occupy the planet, Kara vows to resist.

== Questions ==

*What "number" is Cavill?
*Where did the defense fleet jump to?
**Likely a prearranged rendezvous point, similar to that of the miniseries.
*What happened to Zarek?
*Why is Leoben looking for Starbuck, specifically?
** Could it be the same [[Leoben Conoy]] that Starbuck interrogated in "[[Flesh and Bone]]"?
** Consider: "Maybe the last time I was the interrogator and you were the prisoner." - Leoben Conoy ([[Flesh and Bone]])
*Did the Cavils lie about the pursuit of humanity being a mistake? Or were they telling the truth?
** If they were telling the truth, perhaps not all Cylons are readily able to admit and rectify their mistakes as the Cavils believed.
*Why has the population (until Tyrol's recent union speech) accepted Baltar's imperious rule? People were hardly so passive under Roslin. Indeed, Adama executed a military coup over a rather less important issue than giving a nuclear weapon to a Cylon agent.
**Admiral Adama wasn't conclusive as to how the weapon got on board Cloud Nine.
***Baltar pointed out there have been no attacks since he took office. Under Roslin the attacks were common. Perhaps for a year the people decided they preferred the safety Baltar gave them to their liberties.
*Are the Six and Eight that Baltar surrendered to [[Caprica-Six]] and [[Sharon Valerii (Galactica copy)|''Galactica''-Sharon]]?
**Judging from Six's reaction to Baltar, almost definately.
*Where did the Cylon fleets go, after they left the Twelve Colonies? Cavil was deliberatly vague when asked if they simply returned to the [[Cylon homeworld]].

*Baltar's arrogance seems to have led to corrupt rule during his year on New Caprica—he replaces Roslin's modest desk with a larger, elaborate one, replaces the population count whiteboard with a portrait of himself, and keeps a harem aboard the landed Colonial One.
*After a whole year, everyone is still living in tents. There is a vital shortage of medicine, the military is of no use, and labor conditions are apparently intolerable. Baltar's administration is apparently as incompetent as Roslin feared.
*Tyrol's union speech alludes to Mario Savio's address during the Free Speech Movement at Berkeley in 1964.
*It's ironic that the obligations of duty keep Lee Adama aboard Pegasus while everyone else goes planetside—he is a reserve officer, and promised to build his pilots a bar as soon as they found a habitable planet.
*Ron Moore has once again decided to play with viewer's expectations; in the podcast for "[[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]" Moore commented on how everyone assumed that ''Pegasus'' would be destroyed by the end of the episode, and thus he thought it would be a good twist to keep ''Pegasus'' alive as another ship in the Fleet. Here, many viewers assumed that the nuke that Baltar gave to Gina in "[[Epiphanies]]" would be used to destroy ''Pegasus'' this time, but it wasn't.

== Notes ==
* Ron Moore's podcast for episode 13, [[Epiphanies]], states that the Nuke given to Gina will come back in this episode, to the benefit of the Cylons.
*In RDM's podcast for the previous episode, he said that in early drafts of this special 90 minute long episode, the writers actually tried to make it a 2 hour special, but this was soon dropped (these times are including commercials).
*The election board appears to have a definative list of the names of all of the ships in [[The Fleet (RDM)]]. Not all of them are clearly visible, but this would seem to indicate that the writers do have an actual list that they get new ship names from. Ship names visible on the chart are: Demetrius, Diomedes, Embla Brokk, Enkidu, Epheme, Galactica, Gideon, Gemenon Traveller, Greenleaf, Monarch, Odysseus, Pegasus, Persephone, Prometheus, Swordfish
*The framed photo of President Roslin and [[Billy Keikeya]] was still on her desk during the election.

== Noteworthy Dialogue ==
*''The Cylons occupy New Caprica:''
:'''Tyrol:''' "What do we do now, Captain?"
:'''Starbuck:''' "Same thing we always do. Fight them until we can't."

*''Trying to bring order to a Union meeting:''
:'''Tyrol:''' Everyone, please be quiet.
:'''Cally:''' Hey! Shut the frak up! (''crowd quiets down'')

== Official Statements ==

From the official site (http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/):
When Baltar wins the vote, Roslin considers stealing the election because she believes he is a Cylon collaborator.

Battlestar Wiki:Chiefs' noticeboard

2006-03-09T20:29:22Z

Laineylain: /* Billy */

This noticeboard is a location to discuss and coordinate administrative tasks for the Battlestar Wiki.

It is my hope that this place can serve as a location for administrators to coordinate their efforts on the maintenance tasks of the Wiki (it's not ALL fun and games), as well as a spot for our contributors to be able to bring things to the attention of the admins if something needs to be done. Need a protected page edited? An article or picture deleted? Admins will watchlist this page so that your request won't get lost in the shuffle.

== Tasks ==

Special pages that could use some attention include:
* [[Special:Lonelypages|The Article Orphanarium]]
* [[Special:Deadendpages|Dead-end Pages]] - usually a sign that there are no citations
* [[Battlestar Wiki:Community Portal]] - [[User:Steelviper/CommunityPortal|ideas]] to develop a "portal" for the wiki community

== David Larson Screen Capture ==
Hi

I am new to the site and wanted to say that it is one of the best Galactica sites on the web. I have used it as a reference source on many, many occassions. Thanks to all the contributors.

A few of weeks from now, I have an opportunity to get an autograph from David Larson (Baby Walker from TOS and one of the Super Scouts). Does anyone have a screen capture of him that I could get him to autograph? Thanks Larrydale140

:Hi, Larry. A number of folks that work on the [[Battlestar Wiki:Original Series Article Development Project]] have the DVD collection and have contributed many screenshots. I would direct your request on [[The Super Scouts]] article to request this picture. Oh, in the future, to sign and date/timestamp your talk entries, just place a couple of hyphens and four tilde ("~") symbols. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 16:12, 8 February 2006 (EST)

:The [[Walker]] article has the best shot that I could find in Greetings From Earth. I could take a shot of the whole scene (that includes Sarah holding him), though, if you wanted something bigger to print out. You might ask [[User:Mokwella|Mokwella]] about the Galactica 1980 stuff, as he's been the ONLY source of screenshots and information from that series that we've really had. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 16:30, 8 February 2006 (EST)

[[Image:SarahWalker.jpg|thumb|right]]
:If you click through the thumbnail on the right you should find the full 640x480 screenshot. It's the best pic of Walker that I could easily identify from Greetings from Earth. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 18:18, 8 February 2006 (EST)

Thank you. The screen capture is perfect. --[[User:Larrydale140|Larrydale140]] 12:18, 9 February 2006 (EST)

== Home, Part II ==
[[Home, Part II]] lacks a summary section in the episode summary. I JUST deleted that episode from my DVR last night (was cleaning things up), so if somebody who has a copy of that could take that on that'd be great. It'd be a shame to have a gap in our RDM episode coverage. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 11:12, 8 February 2006 (EST)

:Ah, hell, I can probably do that one from memory. I'll look into it if someone doesn't beat me to it. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 11:22, 8 February 2006 (EST)

::Fire continuously? Thanks for looking into it.--[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 11:26, 8 February 2006 (EST)

== Toaster revision ==

I have proposed a large-scale revision in [[Talk:Toaster]]--[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] 14:16, 20 February 2006 (EST)

=== Billy ===

Does anyone know why Billy was killed off? I have been unable to find an official statement on this issue. Did the actor Paul Campbell transfer to a different show or was his death solely story oriented? Is it possible he may come back as a cylon?
:Paul Campbell will be starring in another show, I forget the name.--[[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 18:26, 8 March 2006 (EST)
:According to RDM's podcast for [[Sacrifice]], the decision to off him was done to let Campbell take advantage of the leading roles he had been offered in other series. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] 17:25, 8 March 2006 (CST)
:It's a shame because I liked the Billy character, and Paul Campbell is pretty funny. See David Eick's [http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/bts/videoblog Video Blog Number 11: Billy Gets No Respect]. I just watched it last night and am still smiling. -- [[User:Laineylain|Laineylain]] 14:29, 9 March 2006 (CST)

== Spam Alert ==
I've noticed an uptick in the amount of spamming recently, all linking to the same sites (looks like some sort of a prescription drug outfit).
Examples:
# [http://www.battlestarwiki.org/en/index.php?title=The_Gun_on_Ice_Planet_Zero%2C_Part_II&diff=36566&oldid=36465 Redhook]
# [http://www.battlestarwiki.org/en/index.php?title=Howard_Kim&curid=1809&diff=36723&oldid=26771&rcid=34228 Punchcard]
# [http://www.battlestarwiki.org/en/index.php?title=The_Gun_on_Ice_Planet_Zero%2C_Part_II&diff=prev&oldid=36747 Amanda]

I don't have access to their IP addresses, but it appears from the IP block log that they are trying to repeat offend. Just wanted to let you guys know so you can be on the lookout. These persons (if there are, in fact, multiple), have been amply warned and the "leniency window" is quickly slamming shut. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 12:26, 9 March 2006 (CST)

Battlestar Wiki:Podcast Transcripts

2006-03-04T17:01:42Z

Laineylain: /* Checkins */ added username to Act 4 of Downloaded

{{project|Podcast Transcripts}}

This project is meant to coordinate and standardize the transcription of Ronald D. Moore's freely available episode podcasts. Our goal is to produce a searchable text repository for purposes of citation. At this time, we will only be transcribing freely available podcasts from [http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/ SciFi.com], not additonal DVD commentaries. Ron D. Moore and David Eick have recorded commentary tracks for the [[Mini-series]] (also including director Michael Rymer), "[[33]]", "[[Bastille Day]]", "[[Act of Contrition]]", and "[[You Can't Go Home Again]]". However, they have not been put up online for free but are only available in the Season 1 DVD set. Therefore, transcripts of these are not provided here, though relevant quotes may be found sourced in certain articles on Battlestar Wiki.

This project is a daughter of the [[Battlestar Wiki:Citation Jihad|Citation Jihad]].

==Standards==

===Namespace===
Podcast transcripts should be named after the episode to which they correspond with the addition of the (podcast) namespace, for example, [[Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down (podcast)]].

===Structure===
Begin each podcast article with the template
<nowiki>{{podcast|author=YourNameHere}}</nowiki>.

Use first-level headings to divide Teaser and Act breaks. Make each heading an offsite link to the appropriate podcast segment, e.g.

==[<nowiki>http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/mp3/109/bsg_ep109_1of5.mp3</nowiki> Teaser]==

Try to break up RDMs comments into paragraphs along topical lines.

===Transcription===
RDM frequently uses "uh", "um" and "y'know" as discourse particles. For readabilities sake, try to exclude these where they interrupt the flow of an otherwise grammatical sentence.

Where RDM interrupts himself, end the last word of the first statement with an emdash. You may include whatever discourse particles he uses to introduce the next thought. For example:

"I think it's a very good movie, one that I always thought was a— y'know, prime for us to do a riff on."

Generally, you may ignore emphasis except where RDM's tone is critical to the interpretation of a statement (e.g. sarcasm).

===Links===
Where RDM mentions a BSG episode or character, link to our own article. Where he mentions a television show or actor which we do not have (or need) our own article for, offer a link to the corresponding page on IMDB. If another resource such as Wikipedia or Memory Alpha has more comprehensive information, you may link there at your discression. To avoid overlinking, only link once per act break.

===Corrections===
Except for simple spelling errors, do not offer a "correction" without first having listened to the relevant portion of the recording. Always leave a comment on the talk page explaining your change.

==Checkins==
When you begin work on a transcription, place your name beside the segment you are working on. When you've completed and uploaded it, mark your name next to "Transcribed". Afterwards, it would be helpful for a second user to verify the transcription.

Hello and welcome to the podcast for episode 18, "[[Downloaded]]". I'm [[Ronald D. Moore]], executive producer and developer of [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|the new Battlestar Galactica]]. And tonight we're going to talk about one of my favorite episodes, "Downloaded", the Cylon point of view show. And as always, as I mentioned on "[[The_Captain%27s_Hand|Captain's Hand]]", there will be background noise. You will have to suffer through and NO WHINING. You'll just have to be tough enough to listen to the podcast.

Anyway, the Cylon point-of-view show is something I wanted to do very early in the season. We started talking about it as an early concept of what we wanted to do. I wanted to do an episode that was told almost entirely from the Cylon point of view, to really get inside their society for the first time, see how they operated one-on-one, with each other, without ''Galactica'' being involved. Our first attempt at this was something called "The Raid". "The Raid" was going to be a story where there was a satellite— sorry, a space station- there was a space station out there someplace where the Cylons were meeting. They were meeting to discuss their problems with the humans- the human problem was being discussed. What we started talking about was sort of doing a version of the [[wikipedia:Wannsee_conference|Wannsee Conference]], which was the conference in the Second World War where the Nazis got together at a place called Wannsee and they came up with the [[wikipedia:Final_solution|Final Solution]] to the problem of the Jews. There was a wonderful HBO movie called [[IMDB:tt0266425|Conspiracy]] which was just- tremendous piece of work which I thought would be an amazing sort of episode for us if we did that. To do sort of the Wannsee Conference with the Cylons coming up with the Final Solution, but the problem was that the Cylons had already come up with the Final Solution. They'd already devastated the human race, committed a massive genocide so that the stakes weren't quite the same. We kept working on "The Raid" and working on it and working on it and it was going to circle around that they're on this space station and then the B story was on ''[[Galactica]]'' and ''Galactica'' was going to be aware of the space station. They were going to try to infiltrate a group onto the space station to raid the archives or the computers or something on that space station and get information about Earth. The idea was that the Cylons, like [[Sharon_Valerii_%28Caprica_copy%29|Sharon]] had said in "[[Home]]", the Cylons knew more about Earth's religion- about the Colonial religion than the Colonials did and may have ideas about where Earth was and they were going to infiltrate that space station while the Wannsee conference, or a version of it, was going on at the same time. [[Caprica-Six]] was there and she's starting to have hallucinations about [[Gaius_Baltar|Baltar]]. And she was going to see the people coming on board and trying to infiltrate the station and ultimately she was going to let them go and they were going to come back to ''Galactica'' with more concrete information about Earth.

We struggled with the story. Several drafts went through and they just didn't work. It didn't like it. It didn't like the space station. Didn't like the parameters of the story. The Wannsee Conference didn't hold up for reasons I mentioned a moment ago. We eventually abandoned that story. However, the notion of doing a Cylon point-of-view show was something we were all in love with. The network really liked it too. And so we kept talking about it. And then we decided- we came to this idea about following Caprica-Six, as she's come to be known, and Sharon. And follow them through the process of being downloaded and having them wake up and see what happened to the two of them and then constructing a story that took place in Cylon-occupied Caprica that was all about Caprica-Six and [[Boomer]], the two sort of heroes of the Cylon, as we call them in the show. And see how they would ultimately come together and sort of settle on a different direction for the entire Cylon nation.

This idea here of the birthing chamber... well, I'll get to that later. Here's like one of the great ideas... was the notion that Caprica-Six would be hallucinating [[Baltar]], in the same way that our Baltar hallucinates Caprica-Six. There was a delicious symmetry to that idea. There was something really interesting and something really profound in sort of- this sort of duality of these two characters. That they both had been changed in a fundamental way by their experience with one another. They were both at the epicenter of this massive genocide, of this horrific event that had altered both of their civilizations forever in fundamental ways. And these two were at ground zero of that idea and that it would affect both of them profoundly. That Baltar's guilt and Baltar's psychosis, as it were, was sort of born out of that event. And that it would also affect Six. That it would affect that woman as well. That she was- she's a Cylon, she's a machine, but they're so close to being human and in some ways it's hard to even differentiate them from human beings. That their psychology- the psychology of Caprica-Six would also be altered by that event especially since one of the sort of fundamentals of who and what she is was her belief in God, her belief in a loving God and her desire to be loved and what did it mean to that character to have participated in the destruction of all these innocent people. To have used the man that she professed to love in such a profound way. That she had used her love for him and his growing infatuation, or possibly love for her, was used and twisted to commit this horrific event. How would that affect that character? And then that Sharon, when Sharon who thought she was a human all along, the ultimate sleeper agent came to wake up back on Cylon-occupied Caprica... How would she adjust? Would she just become a regular Cylon like all the others or would she struggle with it? How would she fight against it? Could she ever integrate herself back into Cylon society? And it was a very provocative, very interesting idea. That's really the roots of this episode.

And there's the other Sharon and then she just totally loses it. She completely flips out, which I think is great. (Laughs) She just starts screaming. [[Grace_Park|Grace]]- and I have to say right up front, Grace and [[Tricia_Helfer|Tricia]] and [[James_Callis|James]] do such a good job in this episode. I mean they really- each of them are playing nuances of nuances of these characters. James is playing a hallucination for the first time, where he's been on the other side of that for so long. Trish is playing this complex Six that is really a character that we have not seen, in truth, since the miniseries and now she's back and how does she grapple with all that. And Sharon, y'know Grace is playing the character that we haven't seen since "[[Resistance]]". And they're making them all very distinct and individual and it's an amazing performance from all three of them. I can't say enough about the cast, as usual.

Present day. Cylon-occupied [[The_Twelve_Colonies_%28RDM%29#Caprica|Caprica]]. I did take a pass- I took a pretty significant pass through this episode. I love this little- I came up with this whole little sequence here of the [[Cylon_Centurion|Cylon Centurions]] doing their version of [[wikipedia:Arbor_Day|Arbor Day]]... planting a tree. There was something so odd about that. I had to fight to keep it in the show. It was an expensive shot and everyone kept saying "Oh no, no. Why don't we just cut the Cylon Centurions planting the tree?" and it would save us all this time and money. I don't know, I was tickled with the idea and just kept insisting that it go back into the show. (Laughs)

It's great that we brought [[Lucy_Lawless|Lucy]] back. That we've established Lucy's character in "[[Final Cut]]" as sort of the Cylon that no one knew on ''Galactica''. We definitely wanted to play her down on the planet. One of the questions that sort of comes up in this episode is a legitimate one, which is "OK, why don't we see all twelve Cylons?" 'Cause logically you'd see all twelve Cylons, you would think. And we just didn't want to do that. I mean that would blow so much in the show and give away so many things about who the Cylons are and who all the other Cylons are in the fleet. All the surprise would be gone. So we took the concede in this show that we would just concentrate on [[Doral|Dorals]], Sharons, [[D%27anna_Biers|D'Annas]], and Sixes. We talked about having [[Simon]] in the show as well. There's some background of photo doubles that sort of look like Simon that we pass on by, but we didn't really want to give away- we didn't feel the need to really have Simon as a character in the show. There wasn't really a role for him to play, and it was sort of a waste of money and waste of the actor's time really to just come have a cup of joe at the coffee shop or something. So there are some quick pass by's of the character of something like Simon, but he's not really in the show.

This sequence- we talked- we've been waiting for the birth of the child all along for two seasons now and we wanted to just jump in. And, oh my God, the child's being born prematurely by C-section and you're just jumping into the middle of a crisis with- that something has gone wrong. It seemed realistic and just seeing them amidst of a crisis. This storyline actually has more scenes to it that we cut somewhat for time, but also because we just wanted to spend more of our time down on Cylon-occupied Caprica. There was whole subplot that was attached to this, where the Lucy Lawless character was also on ''Galactica'' and she was interviewing the [[Laura_Roslin|President]] about the rumors that the child had been born. And ultimately she was going to help try to kidnap the child off of ''Galactica'' in collusion with Gina. And one of the problems that we found was just confusion. There was too many Cylons for once. We had all these Cylons down on Cylon-occupied Caprica that you were trying to keep track of and trying to keep them all straight in your head. And then you were also cutting to ''Galactica'' and playing with the D'Annas there and the Six in his head and the current Sharon. It was too much. It was too many Cylons- too many Cylons, Mozart. And so I opted in the edit- in the cutting room to just eliminate virtually all of that storyline and make the ''Galactica'' B story just the bare bones of what was necessary to tell that story. So the whole D'Anna's attempted kidnapping of the baby, the Gina sequences, all that were cut. They just confused the issue of who's who and who knew what and the story plays much better now. 'Cause now the focus is not so much in trying to keep the Cylons straight as it is to the drama that's happening down on Caprica.

What interests me about- well, there are many things that interest me, but one of the big things that interests me about the Caprica storyline is this idea that there are different points of view within the Cylon, for the first time. That they're not monolithic. They're not the [[wikipedia:Borg|Borg]], ok? They are both similar to one another and different from one another. The Sixes all share certain commonalities of personality and archetype. The D'Annas all share certain personality traits and archetypes. But beyond that they have their individual experiences and their individual motivations and their individual life experiences. And I thought it was interesting to then say ok, here's this society that is essentially gone on a relatively homogenous way, that while there are multiples of each of them and they have all had their own individual life experiences, they haven't really faced a situation where there was a genuine difference... where there was a really- there was a model or two that stood out from the rest. They were somewhat interchangable. This was a situation where there two distinct models who had done something definitely heroic, in their point of view. That Caprica Six had been a key player in the downfall of the Colonies and she had helped bring about the Cylon plan and had been wildly successful and was a hero to her race. And Boomer is sort of looked at in the same way. She had been on ''Galactica''. She had been a great sleeper agent. She had shot [[William_Adama|Adama]], he almost died, and she had carried out her plan even though she was struggling with the fact that she thought she was human all along. And that that sort of fundamental distinction between them and the rest of the Cylons was going to cause a problem. It was going to cause the body politic of the Cylons to sort of react and try to move those sort of viral ideas away from the rest of the body and that the plan would be to put them together in some way that would eliminate both of them. That ultimately Sharon would get boxed and Caprica Six would be driven mad by the knowledge that the man she loved, Gauis Baltar, was actually still alive.

This is also an interesting way to just give us backstory on Sharon, because this is the life that Sharon thought she had. All of this is made up, as the character says in the scene. This was the life Sharon Valerii had accepted as her own. She lived in this apartment on Caprica. She had her things, her photographs, a family she thought she loved. And none of it was true. It was all this lie that she had been programmed with to carry out this mission to then kill and betray the people she loved. And Boomer was having an incredible amount of trouble with that. She couldn't break away from that thought and she naturally gravitated back to what she knew. She went back to her apartment and tried to resume that life, even though she knew it was impossible. She stubbornly was not going to just move on and become one of them, and that too was causing a problem with the Cylons. They didn't want to have this person in their midst that was acting differently so they would send in somebody to try to talk her out of it. But they still had not quite crossed the threshold of just killing her or just taking harsh measures. There was still this idea that they love one another, that they're better than human beings, that they're something special. They're the children of humanity and they're not like us. They would deal with their problems in a different way. They would let Sharon continue to live in her apartment and then they would try to work with her, they would try to talk with her, they would send in this Caprica Six to go deal with her.

There was a lot of playing around in editing with when Baltar appears and under what circumstances, when you would see him and when you wouldn't see him, to sort of give the phantom idea... it's played so it's clear to the audience. [[David_Eick|David Eick]], my producing partner, did a lot of editing in this episode in that arena where he played a lot with when Baltar appeared, when he didn't appear, and what the emphasis of the scenes were. I kind of did a- what you talk about as a macro pass through the show: working on the large supporting members, playing with the structure, eliminating the ''Galactica'' stuff, deciding where to emphasize the story. And then David really took a tremendous hand in working through all the detail work on the scenes. So a lot of this is his hand at work.

This little gag here I like a lot, which is something I came up with in doing my pass. She throws the picture, the shard of glass hits her on the cheek, and that creates a moment where she could bond with Six. But, it's actually another piece of deception. I never wanted to lose track of the fact that this was Six. She was manipulative. She was duplicitous. She was a woman of secrets. A woman who is capable of a lot of lies and she was sent here to deal with Sharon and get her out of that apartment. She very coldly and calculatingly in that moment when Sharon threw the picture frame against the wall, she determines that this is a moment that she can manipulate Sharon's human emotions. Her conscience, her Baltar, calls her on it and then helps her one step beyond that. Baltar knows how to manipulate human beings and that is part of Six. It's the part of Six that understood how to manipulate Baltar, is now talking back to her.

(Tries to get lighter to ignite) Oh no, my lighter. Oh there, thank God. Woo, that was close, huh? (Takes a drag) Gotta love these [[wikipedia:Zippo|Zippos]]. (Exhales) But sometimes they are a little cantankerous.

This is [[David_Weddle|David]] and [[Bradley_Thompson|Bradley's]] script and this whole little gag of setting up the cigarette, the clothespin, the bomb and all that... pure David and Bradley. They do a great job with all this. They really are a pair of the key players on the show. They come up with so many of the textures and thoughts and specifics that work on the show, that it's just a pleasure to work with both of them.

This is supposed to be the back of one of the military trucks that we've established that they've had. It's also the return of [[Samuel_Anders|Anders]] on the show. We've talked about Anders ever since [[Kara_Thrace|Kara]] left Caprica in "[[The_Farm|The Farm]]". This is really the first time back to where we see him doing his thing. He's fighting an insurgency on this planet. He's battling the occupation. He's willing to do whatever it takes to kill these guys and whatever form to kill these guys. And that was interesting.

There was a scene here. Here's Baltar's house from other episodes obviously. There was a scene I wrote where, and Dave and Bradley took a pass at as well, where they actually went to the rubble, the wreckage of Baltar's house overlooking the water. They played this scene amid the ruins of Baltar's house which I thought was really interesting, we all wanted to do but ultimately we had to cut it. We couldn't afford to do it. We couldn't afford to create that location virtually or practically, both for scheduling difficulties and in terms of the days out and all that kind of thing, and also just sheer dollars and cents. This was already an expensive episode and we couldn't afford for the additional cost and time to go out and find a location to play as Baltar's house. So unfortunately, we couldn't go there.

I love that she's just lying to her so much. She's really still working for the Cylons here. She's trying to manipulate poor Boomer. She's trying to get back- Caprica-Six is trying to get back into the graces of her people. She wants to be a good Cylon. She thinks of herself as a good Cylon. She did a good thing. She helped... she was a hero. And now she's trying to be a hero again. It's just this little hiccup here, where suddenly she realizes something else is going on- that "Wait a minute... Baltar's alive?".

It's the doubt. It's the question of "Who am I?" that I think is fascinating with Caprica-Six. She's a person in a way. She's a machine who thinks she's a person. Well, does that make her a person? I guess it's a matter of perspective. It's her confusion over what she is, what she wants, what she believes, what's right and what's wrong, that create this interesting dynamic within the character that I think is just endlessly fascinating to play.

Now there's a great line coming up here... back in ''Galactica'' (unintelligble). (Laughing, repeats line) "I don't make suggestions. If I want to toss a baby out an airlock, I'd say so." It's a good line. I think it was David and Bradley's line. I love the way [[Mary_McDonnell|Mary]] gives it. I just love the way Mary gives that line it's just so ironic and it's so knowing that she has tossed so many of these frakkers out the airlock. You know, why not a baby? But it's a heavy thing... they're struggling with what to do with this infant, this child. What do they do? One of the things I really like about this episode is that they're thrust into this situation before they thought they would. They thought they had some time to think this over, some time to sort of deal with this issue. It is such a human failing that if we think we don't have to deal with an issue right now, we tend to wait. We tend to wait until we actually deal with it. And then suddenly that day comes and you're just not prepared. You're like, "Oh my God. What are we going to do with this child? How- are we gonna let Sharon raise it? I mean what the hell are we gonna do? And everyone's going to want this kid? And what does this mean? And aren't the other Cylons in the fleet going to come looking for it? And oh my God!"

This relationship between [[Helo]] and Sharon is a lovely relationship. It's gone much farther than I think anybody ever thought it would. As I've said, as I've openly admitted to, I didn't know where the hell this was going when we first decided to bring Helo back to the show and marry him up with Sharon down on Caprica. I'm so glad we did. I just think it adds so much to the show. It's just become one of the fundamental threads of the entire series.

See there's a Simon sort of walking away down on Caprica.

Uh cars. This question has come up before: "What do you do about cars and vehicles?" How do you handle the fact that if you're going to see ground vehicles on Caprica, you're going to have to get existing cars. We're not going to go out and create brand new vehicles every week to create "Ooh space cars! Or Caprican cars!" I mean the whole aesthetic of the show is that they're basically us, that they look a lot like us. Well, that's all well and good, and then put a Ford in the picture, put a Must- put a Toyota in the picture, and it kind of takes you out of the show a little bit. It just does. It's just one of those interesting lines that cars are just kind of a strange thing. We got around it a little bit by giving Kara a Hummer in an earlier episode. Well, we couldn't have them all having Hummers so when we went down into the parkade, as they call them in Canada, or the parking garage in the States, what are the cars you see? Someone had the suggestion of doing- I believe this came from [[IMDB:tt0119177|Gattaca]], I'm not positive- I believe the reference somebody made was Gattaca- I didn't see Gattaca, but the reference was one of the things they had done in that movie was to use European cars... sort of eastern European-looking cars. Things that were recognizable as motor vehicles but still had a slightly different aesthetic than what you're used to seeing on American television. That's kind of the way we opted to go. Those are somewhat more European models. They feel different enought that it doesn't feel like "OK, they're just Fords and Toyotas". And yet they're still obviously cars and we didn't put like wacky headlights on 'em. We didn't put big silly designs on the end. They're different enough.

Again, Lucy comes in and just gives us this wonderful other dimension that she's not a mustache-twirling villain. She's coming from a place where it seems like she's trying to help or she actually cares about Sharon. She's not just coming and saying "You will be a good Cylon or we will box you." But Baltar's starting to suss out the situation that there's more to it than that.

And again there's more smoking because, hey, smoking's good. We're trying to corrupt America's youth whenever possible.

We cut away from that a little bit because Anders (laughing) actually took a puff of the cigarette before he put it in the clip. We had trouble cutting around that in the editing room because every take he kept- he took the cigarette and he took two puffs on it and then he put it in the clothespin. We realized "Well actually doesn't that blow the whole timing gag?" They've timed out how long the cigarette takes and then Anders blows it by taking a couple of puffs. We kept having to cut around it. We finally found a way to get out of the scene slightly earlier before he actually took those additional drags.

This was a very complicated sequence to play out the intercut between them going upstairs, Anders planting the bomb downstairs. All these bits and pieces have to relate to one another and the timing has to work just so in order to make this all believable. Now you can see they're going up the stairwell there. The theory was that when Anders blows the building, the building comes down but the Cylons are sort of in this somewhat protected area... they're sort of- Sharon, Caprica-Six, and D'anna are in this stairwell. The idea was the stairwell came down in its own sort of protected way and fell into the bottom of the parkade and that's why they survive and none of the other ones did.

This sequence went through a lot of machinations chiefly because we were already way over budget and we kept having to parse out exactly- I mean we had endless discussions about EXACTLY how many cuts of the Cylon Centurion, from which angle, where he was going to be standing, how to cut this this sequence. There were more shots and then we kept having to cut back and cut back. We eventually had the bare number of shots that we could get away with to make this sequence work. Again, it works really well in large part because [[Gary_Hutzel|Gary Hutzel]] and his visual effects team simply won't let it work badly.

He looks. Anders shoots at him. Now, there was an additional piece here where the Cylons started shooting back. You can see the gun comes out and Anders ducks his head. In the original cut, he just blasted that whole car with a fuselade of bullets. But we couldn't afford to show that so we had to cut it before it happened... we had to blow it up before it happened.

Back to ''Colonial One''. As I said earlier, there's a whole thing with Laura being interviewed by D'Anna. D'Anna then had a scene with Gina, and Gina and her came up with this idea that was going to be aided by Baltar. Baltar was going to try to steal the baby away because they wanted to keep it for themselves and get it off ''Galactica'' and presumably get it back to the Cylons. D'Anna had this fake- had a fake camera case that she was going to bring on the ship. They were going to get it in the- the baby into the camera case. It had a life support system and all this stuff. They were going to try to get it off the ship. She was in the corridor outside sick bay and then Helo came out and she was there talking to one of the nurses- D'Anna was talking to one of the nurses. The nurse came out and said "You can't go in." D'Anna was like "Why not? I've been given access. The President has said I can take photos of the baby to show the fleet that it's just a child." That was the subplot. Then Helo came out and said "You can't see her because the baby's dead, you bitch!" and was crying and very upset. We just opted to cut that entire- that whole piece of business. So now it plays as a bit more of a mystery where you're wondering "What's Laura up to? What's going on?". When the news comes shortly that the baby's dead, you're much more shocked by it. You're not quite sure what's going on. Again, it avoided the confusion on the D'Annas, "Which D'Anna am I dealing with? Is that D'Anna? No. Does this D'Anna know what that D'Anna's doing?" (unintelligible)

Like that little idea there about D'Anna's willing to euthanize the wounded Six, but Six is starting to cling to life, actually value her life. Doesn't want to be reborn once again. She's becoming a little bit more human than I think she ever anticipated.

And there's- Anders supposedly survived because he's by that car. The idea was that when the building came down, he was somewhat protected by the car. That's kind of how he survived. So he comes out... Yeah, "Thanks". (Laughs) "Thanks!" and a boot to the teeth. (In a pirate voice) An iron boot... to the head!

This may be the largest handgun I've ever seen, by the way, that Anders is carrying and Lucy pulls out. And again Boomer's dedication to human life and Caprica-Six hunting for a reason not to kill him. Why not kill him? Why NOT kill him? It's about guilt and it's about responsibility. It's about right and wrong. Caprica-Six is the one that talked a good game. "God is love." Well, what does that mean? I mean if God is love, how do you justify doing what she and the Cylons did. She's suffering through that internal contradiction of who and what the Cylons really are because she fell in love with Gaius Baltar. For good or for bad, Gaius Baltar was the man that she actually gave her heart to and actually wanted something back from him. And if you can love and be loved, what is it then mean to kill. You could argue that maybe they're two sides of the same coin... love and death, murder and emotio- and and uh... but I don't know. It just seems like you couldn't quite square that circle, anymore than human beings can. I think human beings struggle with a lot of the same problems. The horrific things we do I think do weigh on our conscience. The best of us are capable of the worst things, and the worst of us are capable of the greatest things. I think that's one of the interesting things that the show continues to play.

It's interesting to note- again the performances. James is playing- not Baltar- he's playing what her idea of Baltar is... her hallucinatory idea of the man she fell in love with. In the same way that Baltar deals with the Six in his head, the hallucinatory idea of the Six he thinks that he fell in love with. Neither one is quite accurate. Caprica-Six is NOT the same Six that comes and toys with him in his brain. And the Gaius Baltar in Caprica-Six's head is not the same as the Gaius Baltar that we see. It's about perception and it's about the person that you think you're in love with and your perception of how you think they would be. It's interesting to me that each character, that Caprica-Six and Gaius Baltar, both view the other one in some way as their own conscience. Baltar, his conscience is sort of telling him he's done horrific things but it's ok because "God wants you to do that, and you're the saviour. You're a messianic figure and it's all part of this greater plan, Baltar." Baltar's guilt is assuaged by the fact that this woman comes and tells him it's ok, and actually she worked for the Cylons. Caprica-Six's response is that Baltar's more of an actual double conscience, that he's actually sort of there to fuck with her and tell her "Yeah, you've killed billions. Isn't that OK? Isn't that what you really want? Y'know, what's wrong with you? Why don't you do this? You're a manipulative bitch. Live with it." They're both kind of tortured by these visions of themselves.

(Clears throat)

End of Act Three.

==[http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/downloads/podcast/mp3/218/bsg_ep218_5of5.mp3 Act 4]==

This is a lovely little scene. Helo spreading the ashes of what he thinks is his child into space. There was dialogue between Helo and [[Tyrol]] here where Helo thanked Tyrol for coming and being there for him and Tyrol saying "No problem, man. It's the least I could do." Ultimately we cut the dialogue because it seemed unnecessary. We were also fighting time so we were looking for little nips and cuts all the way through the show. There was just something more powerful about just the fact that Tyrol was there. It just plays much more powerfully that Tyrol is just there. It speaks volumes about the fact that he's still connected to Sharon. He's still connected to that story line and he was there for Helo as a man and as a father... as someone who did love Sharon and would've cared about this child, had that child been his.

And then we come to Baltar's realization that the child is dead, and what does that mean. And again, this is his perception of Six. It's his perception of that woman he once- that loved him, that he was so intimately involved with, and how would she react to this news.

Look at the expression on James' face. Look at that expression... look at those eyes. And Six... she just- the way she can just barely hold it together.

Now this little thing here of giving the child to this other woman, [[Maya]], this other woman in the fleet, to replace the baby that she lost and to do it in secrecy and to put the child away. There's obviously echoes of [[wikipedia:Moses|Moses]]' story. It's a metaphorical- metaphorically putting the babe in the basket of reeds and floating it down the Nile to be picked up by somebody else to be raised in secret. It did seem like the only way that Laura figured out- out of this box. If the child remained on ''Galactica'', they knew that it would become this magnet. Every Cylon in the fleet would have designs on getting to it. God knows what Sharon would be trying to do. It was a dangerous element. The safest way in Laura's mind was to convince the Cylons that the child was dead and then secret- but she didn't want to just kill the baby. She couldn't quite bring herself to that- to go to that sort of moral place. This was the best solution she could find. She would keep an eye on it. She would see what happens. And hey, y'know, she could always chuck it out the airlock later. But, Laura is a human being and she couldn't quite just commit infanticide. She just couldn't do that and this seemed like an interesting compromise to sort of see what happens later. This will continue to be a storyline for us. This will definitely play into next season... with the baby being with Maya.

For Anders this is not a good place to be. Yeah, really not a good place, Anders.

I'm finding myself just sort of drawn into watching the show. There's times when I do these podcasts when I just- I'm drawn into the show itself because I'm just compelled by the scenes and by what we've created. It's an interesting thing doing these podcasts overall. Sometimes the danger is I feel self-congratulatory and I feel like I'm just endlessly praising the work that we do and the work that I do and that it's just a big pat on the back session. But, I do like the show. I do enjoy- I do enjoy watching it. When I'm watching these episodes and doing the podcasts it's sort of a push-pull situation. Where part of me just wants to watch it again because I'm kind of just pulled into the drama and trying to think of things to tell you about it.

That little piece of verse was actually a piece that I wrote when Lee was floating out in space in "[[Resurrection_Ship%2C_Part_I|Resurrection Ship]]". There was a sequence in his mind when he was hallucinating a bit, and he saw the entire cast was standing in the water as he was struggling for the shore. Each of them said a different piece of verse and that was one of the little couplets that different characters said to him. It was a long piece of verse. That was a really interesting bit of poetry that each of them said. David Eick just reacted really (unintelligible). He was like "OK, you know what, dude. This is crazy. I don't know what any of this means. Can we not do this, please? Please, it's going to be too complicated to do... it's the entire cast, they're standing in water, we're over budget. Please don't do this." I cut it because I kind of recognized it was a bit indulgent. But I was always sort of in love with these lines that I had written. And there was something interesting about having Gaius Baltar- the phantom of Gaius Baltar say it in that context because it wasn't literal. It wasn't a bit of advice... it was something a little bit more elliptical, a little bit more interesting. So I resurrected it to put in there. See? Resurrected. (Laughs)

"Say the things that you know to be true." Isn't that the fundamental contradiction in what she's said and what she believes. Murder and vengeance... aren't they sins in the eyes of her loving God?

It would've been easy to have Anders actually shoot her there, but that's not really the point of the story. The point of the story is the Cylons turning on one another, the division within the Cylon ranks ultimately providing the answers. Not that the human character pops up and solves it for them.

Giving her back Kara's dog tags. Nice little touch.

I don't know what kind of people we are. I don't think the Cylons do. I think the Cylons are growing. They're a young people. The Cylons are a very young people. They don't have thousands of years of history behind them. They don't have this massive cultural history to fall back on. They are figuring out who and what they are in many ways for the first time. As they grow- as they grow older, and as they have more experiences, they start to question the world in ways that we question the world. This pact- this pact that is borne in this moment between Caprica-Six and Boomer and their determination to change, to try a different tack, to actually uphold what they think is what God wants them to do, will have profound ramifications into the next two episodes as you will see. It will fundamentally change a lot of things about the Cylons and lead to some very unexpected directions for themselves and for the series.

Can they do it? Can two people make that big of a difference in this civilization? And what will happen to this civilization if they are successful? Where will it go? And what will we think of them? Can we ever forgive them? Are they worthy of forgiveness? Is anyone?

And then a light shines in on them. They're alive... Yes. "We're alive." I love that. I love that that's the final thought of the episode. It harkens all the way back to the very beginning of the miniseries when the very first question that Caprica-Six asks them- or not even Caprica-Six- the very first question that Six asks at the beginning of the [[Miniseries|miniseries]] was "Are you alive? What does it mean to be alive?" What does it mean to be alive?

Uh that's "Downloaded". Again, it's one of my favorite episodes of the entire series. I hope you enjoyed it as well. I'm sure it'll be a controversial episode. I'm sure it will be an episode with a lot of debate and I look forward to seeing your responses on the board... as long as there's no whining. (Laughs) OK, thank you and good night.
