However, the project was changed to be more generic, due to unknown reasons. The "flying saucers" in the game are actually Cylon [[Raider (TOS)|Raider]]s, since they did not change graphics; this change is mostly imperceivable, due to the lack of detail that could be used in graphics of the platforms of that era.<ref>{{cite_web|url=http://www.digitpress.com/library/interviews/interview_hal_finney.html|title=Digital Press' interview with Hal Finney|date=|accessdate=17 October 2007|last=|first=|format=|language=}}</ref>

Action figures

2009-05-11T07:14:05Z

Leechcode5: /* Series Three */

Action figures of characters from the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Reimagined]] and [[TOS|Original]] ''Battlestar Galactica'' Series have been produced by several companies at different times. This page is an overview with an emphasis upon the action figures currently in production for the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Reimagined Series]].

==Original Series==

Action figures from the [[TOS|Original Series]] were produced by Mattel in the late 1970s, Trendmasters in the mid 1990s, and by Joyride Studios in 2005.
===Mattel (1978/79)===
Action figures from the [[TOS|Original Series]] were produced by Mattel in the late 1970s. The 3 1/2 inch figures were similar in quality and scale to the then-current Star Wars figures produced by Kenner.

*[[Adama (TOS)|Commander Adama]]
*[[Starbuck (TOS)|Lt. Starbuck]]
*[[Cylon (TOS)|Cylon Centurian]] (sic)
*[[Imperious Leader]]
*[[Muffit|Daggit]]

====Bootlegs of Mattel Figures====
Bootleg copies of Mattel's Cylon figures have been found for sale in Mexico and on the internet. [http://actionfiguresca.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=Starwars&action=print&thread=5198] Appearing to be made from the same molds as the original, licensed figures, these knock-off Cylons can be found in numerous colors, and sometimes even with heads from completely different toy lines. [http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2511481340092311211zaSwXZ] It is important to note that bootleg toys are often made with cheaper, sometimes even dangerous, materials than authentic licensed products, and care should be taken to differentiate whether a figure is legitimate or bootlegged.

===Trendmasters (1996/97)===
Action figures from the [[TOS|Original Series]] were produced by Trendmasters in the mid to late 1990s. These toys included figures and ships based around the Richard Hatch continuation novels. Cylon figures featured LED lights in their visors that glowed when a button was pressed on the figure's abdomen.

Religion in the Twelve Colonies (RDM)

2009-04-23T09:21:35Z

Leechcode5: /* Belief */

:''This article discusses the religion of the Colonies as seen in the [[Re-imagined Series]]. For summary information on the Kobollian religion from the [[Original Series]], see [[Religion in the Twelve Colonies (TOS)]].''
:''For information on the various mythologies used in ''Battlestar Galactica'', see [[Mythological references]].''

{{RDM twelve colonies series}}

The dominant '''religion of the Twelve Colonies''', which the various characters of ''Battlestar Galactica'' practice to greater or lesser extent, is a [[Wikipedia:polytheism|polytheistic]] faith<ref>The Colonial deities are very similar to the [[Wikipedia:Greek mythology|Olympic gods]] of Greek mythology on the real-world Earth.</ref> with a strong emphasis on the philosophy of [[Wikipedia:Eternal return|eternal return]]. There is a several variations of this faith practiced by different groups.

==Origin==
[[Image:Pythia.jpg|right|thumb|A portion of the Sacred Scrolls, specifically, a portion of the Book of [[Pythia]].]]
The eternal return aspect between the peoples of [[Kobol (RDM)|Kobol]] and [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]] suggest a parallel or reverse-origin with humanity as a whole or the [[Thirteenth Tribe (RDM)|Thirteenth Tribe]] that presumably populated it. See [[History of the Twelve Colonies]] for more analysis.

In the burial scene of the [[Miniseries]], [[William Adama]] states, "Life here began out there,<ref>This phrase is a homage to the [[Original Series]], where each episode began with this phrase in a voice-over introduction.</ref>" reminding the assembly that this was the first line of the [[Sacred Scrolls]], the principle religious tome of the Colonial faith, told to them by the Lords Of Kobol many centuries ago.
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
==Belief==
===The Lords of Kobol===
Colonial religion is centered on the Lords of Kobol. In the Re-imagined Series, ten Lords of Kobol have been positively identified:

* [[Zeus]] - The leader of the gods. [[Tom Zarek]] has twice referred to [[William Adama|Bill Adama]] as "Zeus" ("[[Bastille Day]]", "[[The Farm]]", as a play on [[Lee Adama]]'s callsign).
* [[Aphrodite]] - The goddess of love and sexuality. Kara Thrace prays often to this Lord ([[Flesh and Bone]]).
* [[Apollo, Lord of Kobol|Apollo]] - Zeus' son, said to be the god of the hunt and of healing ([[Bastille Day]]).
* [[Ares]] - The god of war. The [[Nicholas Tyrol|infant son]] of [[Cally]] and [[Galen Tyrol]] is [[dedication ceremony|dedicated]] to this Lord of Kobol ([[Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance|The Resistance, Episode 10]]).
* [[Artemis]] - Twin sister of Apollo, goddess of the hunt. [[Kara Thrace]] prays often to this lord ([[Flesh and Bone]]).
* [[Asclepius]] - The god of healing ([[Escape Velocity]]).
* [[Athena, Lord of Kobol|Athena]] - This lord committed suicide "out of despair over the exodus of the thirteen tribes" ([[Home, Part II]]). Her [[Tomb of Athena|tomb]] holds a map to [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]] ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I]]).
* [[Aurora, Goddess of the Dawn]] ([[Maelstrom]])<ref>Aurora is the Roman counterpart of the Greek [[w:Eos|Eos]]. Eos is one of the [[w:Titans (mythology)|Titans]]. Since the Lords of Kobol are modeled after the [[w:Twelve Olympians|Twelve Olympians]] however, this could indicate that she is not one of the Lords, but belongs to another group of deities.</ref>.
* [[Hera, Lord of Kobol|Hera]] - Wife of Zeus. A [[Gates of Hera|mountain ridge]] on Kobol is named after her ([[Home, Part II]]), and the [[Hera Agathon|first Cylon/human hybrid child]] is named for this lord ([[Downloaded]]).
* [[Poseidon]] - [[Gaius Baltar]] mentions this deity in a conversation with [[Tracey Anne]] ([[He That Believeth In Me]]). Deckhand [[Brooks (RDM)|Brooks]] also prays to this god. ([[The Face of the Enemy]])

The Colonials appear to use multiple names for their gods, interchanging "Mars" for "Ares", "Jupiter" for "Zeus", and so on.<ref>Curiously, [[Laura Roslin]] mentions that the 134th day of the Cylon occupation of [[New Caprica]] is Mars Day ([[Occupation]]), suggesting that Ares may also be called by his alternate Roman pantheon's name. The same happens again in "[[The Passage]]" when Zeus is referred to by the name of his Roman counterpart Jupiter.</ref>

====Afterlife====
Believers think that they will go to [[Fields of Elysium]] after death if they led a good life ([[Faith]]). <ref>This is clearly a direct parallel to the ancient Greek [[w:Elysium|Elysian Fields]], the part of the [[w:Hades|underworld]] corresponding to "heaven". The visual image of a ferry crossing a river also parallels the river [[w:Styx|Styx]].</ref>

==== Paradise Lost ====
According to the [[Sacred Scrolls]], the gods once shared a paradise-like existence with the people of [[Kobol (RDM)|Kobol]]. Later circumstances forced the exodus of the human population of Kobol to [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)|the Twelve Colonies]] and [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]], and lead to Athena's suicide.

The existence of the Lords of Kobol is attested to by the survival of numerous artifacts, including the [[Arrow of Apollo]], the [[Tomb of Athena]] and the [[Gates of Hera]]. However, although she accepts their historic authenticity, [[Sharon Agathon|Caprica-Valerii]], a [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]], questions their actual divinity.<ref>There is a notion in fan circles that there are twelve lords of Kobol, by analogy to the twelve Cylon models, twelve Colonies, and perhaps the [[w:Twelve Olympians|Twelve Olympians]] of Greek mythology. A post from [[Ron D. Moore]]'s blog [http://blog.scifi.com/battlestar/archives/2005/03/index.html#a000023 on March 12, 2005] loosely alludes on this coincidence, but further official sourcing has not been revealed.</ref>

====The Jealous God====
[[Elosha]] states that the exodus from Kobol was precipitated when "one jealous god began to desire that he be elevated above all the other gods, and the war on Kobol began."<ref>From a [[List of Deleted Scenes - Season 2 (RDM)#Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I|deleted scene]] cut from the episode "[[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I]]".</ref> This figure may be related to or identical with "[[The One Whose Name Cannot Be Spoken|the one whose name cannot be spoken]]", whose [[Temple of Five|temple]] is discovered in "[[The Eye of Jupiter]]".

====The Path of Olympus====
[[Tom Zarek]] conveys to [[Laura Roslin]] and her [[Laura Roslin faction|followers]] the news that Commander [[William Adama]] had resumed command of ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'' after the attempt on his life by saying: "Zeus has returned to '''Olympus'''" ([[The Farm]]).<ref>In Greek mythology, the home of the gods on Earth resided high atop Greece's highest mountain, Mount Olympus, at a time where access to the mountain summit would be almost impossible with the inhabitants' technology of that age.</ref> By Zarek's comment we can infer that Colonial religion appears to acknowledge the existence of a place called Olympus. It cannot yet be determined, however, if Olympus was thought of as the residence of the gods at a specific physical or ''metaphysical'' location of Kobol, as there has been no mention of Olympus elsewhere in the series. If Olympus is a metaphysical locale, this may contradict [[Elosha]]'s comment that the gods and man lived on Kobol together in harmony.

===Other Mythological Names in Colonial Culture===
Various items have been identified which are apparently named after other gods and legendary figures of their faith, although these have not been explicitly identified as Lords of Kobol.

:''See main article: [[Mythological references]]''

===The Cycle of Time===

''"All this has happened before, and all this will happen again."''<ref>In a short talk he gave before a screening of "[[Flesh and Bone]]", Ron Moore revealed that he "stole" the line from the introduction of the Disney animated version of ''[[w:Peter Pan|Peter Pan]]'' (lecture [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9op6PC03LRA part 1] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0w-9NglSNG0 part 2]).</ref>

According to [[Gaius Baltar]], this line from the [[Pythia]]n prophecy is very well known ([[The Hand of God (RDM)|The Hand of God]]). [[Laura Roslin]] later expands on it, reminding [[Kara Thrace]],

<blockquote>"If you believe in the gods, then you believe in the cycle of time that we are all playing our parts in a story that is told again, and again, and again throughout eternity" ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I]]).</blockquote>

Various events throughout the series have led some characters to believe that they are playing out another turn of this cycle<ref>The notion of a circular progression of time (also known as [[w:eternal return|eternal return]] or eternal recurrence) is a common theme in other faiths, particularly [[w:Maya#Religion|Mayan]] mythology and is a cornerstone of the Hindu and Buddhist faiths. Moreover, [[w:Stoic|Stoic]] philosophy did believe in the concept of ''ekpyrosis'', the fire which consumes the old world and signals the birth of a new world, identical to the old, for a recurring cycle of birth, death and rebirth.</ref>. (see [[Sacred Scrolls]] for more detailed analysis).

===Sanctity of Life===
According to the Sacred Scrolls, abortion is "an abomination in the eyes of the Gods". The more fundamentalist [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Gemenon|Gemenese]] strictly adhere to this commandment, however the more secular Colonies such as Caprica apparently do not follow this as strictly: officially, Colonies-wide Federal law guaranteed a woman the right to an abortion, at least at the time of the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]] ([[The Captain's Hand]]).

==Individual Practice==
The Colonials display a wide spectrum of religious practice, ranging from [[Billy Keikeya]]'s atheism ([[Home, Part II]], [[List of Deleted Scenes - Season 2 (RDM)#Home, Part II|cut scene]]) to Corporal [[Venner]]'s literalistic readings of the Sacred Scrolls.

While not fully explained in the Re-imagined Series, it appears, based on the information from a [[dedication ceremony]] for [[Nicholas Tyrol]] and the prayers of [[Kara Thrace]], that each Colonial is paired, or "placed in the service" with one or more of the Lords. Based on the dedication ceremony blessing, Zeus is a considered "almighty" or foremost of the gods, while other Lords are prayed to by Colonials as a proxy to Zeus.<ref>This practice is similar to a Catholic practice of prayer to Mary, mother of Jesus. While Mary is a human, followers believe that, by praying to Mary, she can intercede to aid the acceptance of the prayer by the [[w:Trinity|Trinity]], the godhead of the Catholic faith.</ref>

===Artifacts===
<div style="float:left; margin-right:1em;">[[Image:Bsg-arrow-apollo.jpg|75px]]</div>
Despite Gemenon's fundamentalist climate, the city of [[Delphi]] on [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]] was apparently of a mind to store an important religious artifact, the [[Arrow of Apollo]], in a [[Delphi Museum of the Colonies|museum]], rather than a devotional institution ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]]).

Ancient temples may be also be the repository of special artifacts such as the [[Eye of Jupiter]], believed to be stored inside the legendary [[Temple of Five]] ("[[Rapture]]", "[[The Eye of Jupiter]]").
<br clear="all">

===Dress===
[[Image:Season 3 - Promo - Epi 1 - 2 - Oracle Selloi.jpg|right|thumb|200px|The robes of [[Dodona Selloi]] ([[Exodus, Part I]])]]
As seen by the various [[Laura Roslin faction|separatists]] orbiting Kobol in "[[Home, Part I]]", it appears that many Colonials have clothing that suggests a religious deference. In the scene, one older, white-bearded gentleman is dressed in simple colored robes and a round, flat head covering<ref>These robes may remind viewers of the tradition dress of Hasidic Jews, Islamic clerics, or Eastern Orthodox clerics of the real-world Earth.</ref> Other distinctive dress styles of other characters in the scene increase the sense of the dedication of religion in the Gemenese people (which appear to comprise the majority of Roslin's separatists).

The [[oracle]] [[Dodona Selloi]] dresses in a turban and robes, suggesting a special role in Colonial society or its religious hierarchy ([[Exodus, Part I]]).
<br clear="all">

===Idols===
<div style="float:right; margin-right:1em;">[[Image:Idols.jpg|100px]]</div>
At the end of the episode "[[Flesh and Bone]]", Kara Thrace, a devotee of Artemis and Aphrodite (as stated by [[Leoben Conoy]] in the same episode), prays to them on Conoy's behalf using figurines that bear a similarity to classic representations of Artemis and Athena. Artemis is depicted with her bow and arrow, and Athena with her helmet of war.

When visting the oracle [[Yolanda Brenn]], Thrace receives a figurine of the goddess [[Aurora, Goddess of the Dawn|Aurora]] as a gift ([[Maelstrom]]).
<br clear="all">

===Prayer===
<div style="float:left; margin-right:1em;">[[Image:The_Farm-Group_Worship.jpg|100px]]</div>
Some prisoners on the ''[[Astral Queen]]'' seeking rehabilitation have turned to group prayer.
They greet Laura Roslin as a prophet and she provides them with a blessing ([[The Farm]]).

Priest [[Elosha]] sings a group prayer in a [[Service for the dead]] after the Fleet escapes from the initial Cylon attack ([[Miniseries]]).<ref>The language she sings is [[w:Sanskrit|Sanskrit]], a classical language of real-world Earth's Hindu/Indian peoples. More about the verses that she sings and their meaning can be found in the [[Language in the Twelve Colonies#Liturgy|Language in the Twelve Colonies]] article.</ref> The priest also gives a prayer after ''[[Colonial One]]'' is boarded by Commander Adama's troops to remove Roslin from power ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]]).

A chaplain delivered a simple prayer at the funeral of [[Zak Adama]], two years prior to the fall of the Colonies ([[Act of Contrition]])<ref>The prayer's mention of committing a "body to the ground from which we were all made" echoes the Biblical passage of [http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/genesis/genesis3.htm Genesis 3:19]:'''
:"By the sweat of your brow
:you will eat your food
:until you return to the ground,
:since from it you were taken;
:for dust you are
:and to dust you will return."</ref>:

<blockquote>"The burdens of this life are with us but a short time. For Lieutenant Zak Adama, son of [[William Adama|William]] and [[Carolanne Adama]], brother of [[Lee Adama|Lee]], the time was too short, but we take comfort in knowing his life was willingly given in service to all of us. We honor them for that. And thus, it falls upon us to repent our sins and with the help of the Lords of Kobol, make our own lives worthy of that gift. And now, we commit his body to the ground from which we were all made."</blockquote>

Corporal [[Venner]] asks [[Laura Roslin]] to join him in a simple prayer while ''Galactica'' is attacked as it desperately tries to find its Fleet ([[Scattered]]).
<blockquote>''(To Roslin:)'' Will you pray with me? ''(He begins:)'' Help us, Lords of Kobol. Help your prophet Laura guide us to the path of righteousness. That we might-- that we might destroy our enemies. Let us walk the path of righteousness and lift our faces unto your goodness. Help us turn away from the calls of the wicked and show us the knowledge of your certain salvation. We offer this prayer.</blockquote>

Prayer is also seen in the [[Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance|Season 3 webisode series]] in a temple (where prayers are written and then burned before an idol), and by [[Kara Thrace]] ([[Miniseries]], "[[Flesh and Bone]]").<br clear="all">
<div style="clear:both;"></div>

===Rosaries===
<div style="float:left; margin-right:1em;">[[Image:Rosary.jpg|100px]]</div>
As [[Laura Roslin]] begins to suffer from [[chamalla]] withdrawal in ''Galactica'''s brig, Corporal Venner, a [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Gemenon|Gemenese]], anxiously clutches a set of white prayer beads ([[Fragged]]).
<br clear="all">

===[[Temple]]===
[[Image:Resistance - Webisode 4.jpg|thumb|[[Nora Farmer|Nora]] and [[Cally Tyrol]] pray in a temple on [[New Caprica]] ([[Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance#Episode 4|Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance - Episode 4]]).]]

Temples may have been more elaborate places on the Twelve Colonies, but the spaceborne remnants of humanity presumably use any space they can find on their ships to form a basic temple. As seen on [[New Caprica]], a basic temple may consist of a simple altar with candles, idols of the Lords of Kobol, and what meager offerings the Colonials can give as a [[w:tithe|tithe]]. Some prayers are written on paper and burned ([[Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance]]).

The temple on New Caprica was known as the Temple of Artemis ([[Collaborators]]), suggesting that temples are dedicated to a Lord or Lords, and may be related to the pairing of Colonials to a specific set of Lords at their dedication ceremony.

A similar arrangement to temple is found in an [[Yolanda Brenn|oracle camp]] ([[Maelstrom]]).

A room used for religious services on ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'' is referred to as a temple ([[Escape Velocity]]).
<div style="clear:both;"></div>

===Sagittaron beliefs===
Orthodox [[Sagittaron#Culture|Sagittaron beliefs]] are more anachronistic than the Gemenese's, believing that the mind and body are myths, and that medicine is "an abomination, a sin against the Gods". Sagittarons also blame physicians for the spread of disease due to their ignorance of the aforementioned "myth" of the body and mind. They traditionally do not believe in violence, even to the point of not aiding the [[New Caprica Resistance]] in their fight against the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] occupation of [[New Caprica]] ([[The Woman King]]).

===Other minority beliefs===

A small minority of the Colonials were secretly [[God (RDM)|monothiests]]. While it is not clear if such worship was still in practice in modern Colonial times up to the Cylon holocaust, an [[Temple of Five|unusual temple]] found on a [[Algae planet|remote planet]] suggests that monotheism was prevalent in the [[Thirteenth Tribe (RDM)|Thirteenth Tribe]].

After the [[Second Exodus]], [[Gaius Baltar]] later founds a monotheistic cult which finds itself in conflict with the established faiths. Baltar's faith comes into direct, violent conflict with the [[Sons of Ares]] as well as the general Colonial polythiests. [[Mithraism]] is also noted in practice ([[Escape Velocity]])

==The Clergy==
The religious and government bodies of the Twelve Colonies work together. This association is likely based on the religious homogeneity of the Colonies.<ref>This differs from the United States, whose government is based on religious tolerance through the separation of religious practice and legislature. While the real-world Earth has many, many religions, the Twelve Colonies, as yet, appear to have only one religion and as such does not suffer greatly from schisms or other religious factions, although colonists such as the Gemenese show a different emphasis on how they interpret the religious writings.</ref>

===Priests===
[[Image:Season 3 - Promo - Collaborators - Priest.jpg|right|thumb|A male [[Unnamed characters (RDM)#Priest|priest]]. ([[Collaborators]]).]]
[[Image:Elosha1.jpg|thumb|left|Elosha, priest and friend of President Roslin. ([[Home, Part I]])]]
[[Laura Roslin]] [[Case Orange|is sworn into the presidency]] by a ''priest'', [[Elosha]], who continues on in an advisory capacity within Roslin's administration.
Priests also preside over military funerals, without regard for the beliefs of the deceased.

Priests in the Twelve Colonies are apparently not required to practice celibacy, and can be male or female. Chief [[Galen Tyrol]] states that his father was a priest and his mother an oracle ([[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]]).<ref>Galen Tyrol's information may be skewed by the revelation that he himself is a Cylon ([[Crossroads, Part II]]).</ref>

According to [[Billy Keikeya]], some priests use [[chamalla]] for its hallucinogenic properties. The prescient dreams it imparted to Laura Roslin may imply the use of something similar by [[Pythia]], an ancient prophet. [[Oracle]]s also use the drug.
<div style="clear: both;"></div>

===Brothers===
[[Image:Cyca2.jpg|left|thumb|The false Brother [[Cavil]] ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]).]]
The term ''Brother'' is used as a title for male members of the clergy, although it is not fully apparent whether this role is similar to that of a [[w:Monk|monk]] or [[w:Deacon|deacon]].

As with priests, a brother offers consultation and leads prayer.

The only instance of this clergy is Brother [[Cavil]], who offers guidance to Chief Tyrol.

Cavil, however, is revealed as a [[humanoid Cylon]] some time later. Because of Cavil's nature, there may be doubt as to whether Cavil is a useful example of the work of a Brother in Colonial religion.

It is probable that Brothers are lay clergy (unlike priests and oracles, who appear to have political status as well as their religious status).

<div style="clear: both;"></div>

===Sisters===
[[Image:Tivenan.jpg|right|thumb|Sister Tivenan (right) at a [[dedication ceremony]] ([[Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance|The Resistance: Episode 10]])]]
As with Brothers in the clergy, there are ''Sisters'' as well.

Sister [[Tivenan]] is briefly seen tending to business in the temple on [[New Caprica]], guiding prayer and officiating a [[dedication ceremony]] for the [[Nicholas Tyrol|newborn son]] of [[Galen Tyrol|Galen]] and [[Cally Tyrol]] ([[Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance]]).

It is probable that Sisters, like Brothers, are lay clergy.
<div style="clear: both;"></div>

===Oracles===
{{mainarticle|Oracle}}
[[Image:Season 3 - Promo - Epi 1 - 2 - Oracle Selloi.jpg|left|thumb|The oracle [[Dodona Selloi]] ([[Exodus, Part I]]).]]
[[Image:S3 oraclebrenn low.jpg|right|thumb|The oracle [[Yolanda Brenn]] ([[Maelstrom]]).]]
There is little information as to the religious functions of ''oracles''. [[Dodona Selloi]] is one of two oracles seen in the Re-imagined Series. She confirms the dreams of a copy of [[Number Three]] and the existence of [[Hera Agathon|Hera]]. It is not clear if Selloi is sitting in a tent designated as a temple, but there are numerous ornate or curious inscriptions surrounding and inside her tent that suggest the significance of the oracle's tent or her presence. A second oracle, [[Yolanda Brenn]], gives counsel to [[Kara Thrace]] on her strange dreams aboard ''Galactica'' ([[Maelstrom]]).

Priests and oracles may assume their roles due to an personal, possibly inherited affinity to sense spiritual changes or conditions. [[Galen Tyrol]], [[Final Five|believed to be the son of a priest and oracle]], detects the presence of and finds the [[Temple of Five]] alone, based only on his senses, apparently detecting the hidden temple on the otherwise-unremarkable (and undocumented) [[algae planet]] ([[The Eye of Jupiter]]).
<br clear="all">

== A Cylon Connection ==
:''Main article: [[Cylon Religion]]''
:''See Also: [[The Destiny]], [[Final Five]], [[Temple of Five]]''

While humanoid Cylons show a strict, firm belief in a monotheistic [[God (RDM)|God]], referring to the Lords of Kobol as "false idols," a connection between the Cylon God and the Lords of Kobol may exist. In "[[Exodus, Part I]]", an [[Selloi|oracle]] tells [[Number Three]] (who has a ''dream'' of the oracle's tent and of holding the believed-dead hybrid child [[Hera Agathon|Hera]]) that she has a message from the one that Number Three worships. This poses the question how an oracle of the Lords of Kobol be able to hear the messages of the Cylon God.

A Kobollian god(s) was separated from the others (per a deleted scene about a [[Religion in the Twelve Colonies#The Jealous God|jealous god]]).

The [[Temple of Five]], which a [[Number Three]] uses to visualize the identities of the [[Final Five]]) was not built for the Cylons (who were not created until 4,000 years later) but for humans. The Temple, according to the Sacred Scrolls, was built for five priests who worshiped "[[The One Whose Name Cannot Be Spoken]]". It is not clear if this was the spurned "jealous god" or another fallen member of the Lords of Kobol. No further information on the connection between the Cylon and Colonial religions in regards to the Temple of Five is revealed as of the end of Season 3.<ref>While the notion of a fallen Lord is speculative in the Re-imagined Series, there is already a parallel series of characters from the [[Original Series]]: The [[Beings of Light]] and their fallen member, [[Iblis]]. [[Ron D. Moore]], however, has stated in several interviews that he was not planning to use this Original Series concept in the Re-imagined Series.</ref>

[[Kara Thrace]] realizes her [[The Destiny|destiny]], first from the words of a [[Leoben Conoy]] model, and later, in a type of dream, through a [[Virtual Leoben|entity that took the likeness of Leoben]], but was not a Cylon. From death, Thrace [[Crossroads, Part II|returns]] to the Fleet, not as an illusion, but resurrected -- something that, prior to Thrace, only a humanoid Cylon could do.

Season 3 gag reel

2009-04-16T10:35:58Z

Leechcode5:

{{sillypage}}
[[Image:Demonchild.png|right|thumb|"Here, Cally, and take your '''''demon child''''' with you!"]]
The producers of the [[Re-imagined Series]] released a '''gag reel''' of humorous outtakes and gag scenes from production of [[Season 3]].

The 13-minute video has not been commercially released, but can be found on various video sharing websites.

Among the humorous tidbits are:

*Several Viper outtakes with [[Katee Sackhoff]], including one in which she ad-libs whistling "Girl from Ipanema" and another in which she gets an itch on her nose but can't scratch it because of her helmet.
*Baltar, in a [[flight suit]], runs towards a Raptor, but fails to clear the door and bangs his head on the slowly rising door.
*Various boxing scenes from "[[Unfinished Business]]" set to the song "Eye of the Tiger" by ''Survivor'', including
**While Adama gets boxing advice from Roslin, [[Donnelly Rhodes]]'s cellphone goes off to which [[Edward James Olmos]] says "You better answer that quick. It might be my mother."
**[[Aaron Douglas]] confuses Adama's rank and corrects himself: "Commander...Admiral, whatever the fuck you are." To which Olmos replies "He's lucky I'm a good guy!"
**Katee Sackhoff shouts at Apollo/[[Jamie Bamber]] that "you're getting beaten like a little bitch!", causing [[Grace Park]] to crack up laughing.
**[[Michael Hogan]] does a little sparring in the ring between shots.
*A clever series of sound edits using an animated simulation of U.S. President [[w:George W. Bush|George Bush]], in which Bush recites the show's opening mission statement ("The Cylons were created by man...") ending with "And, unlike me, they have a plan. Thank you."
*A couple of gay jokes at [[Alessandro Juliani]]'s expense, as Gaeta comes on the the marine guarding Baltar and later is woken up from a dream, right after he dreamingly utters the name "Gaius".
*[[Nicki Clyne]] and Aaron Douglas toying around with a prop of baby [[Nicholas Tyrol]], and an outtake in which the real infant portraying Nicholas attempts to nurse from Nicki's arm.
*Olmos, on hearing [[Gaius Baltar]]'s voice at the start of the episode "[[The Eye of Jupiter]]", tells Baltar to "eat shit and die."
*[[Tricia Helfer]] and [[Lucy Lawless]] failing not to notice the extra "abilities" of a naked [[James Callis]] during a scene from "[[Collaborators]]". See the episode's article for comments from Lawless about this incident.
*Another naked James outtake in which he improvises the introduction to a new TV show, ''Baltar's Basestar''.
*Sackhoff pretends to reveal a spoiler, which is followed by scene from the movie ''Halloween Resurrection'' in which a woman (played by Sackhoff) gets her head cut off in a very unconvincing way.
*Several fart jokes (including one with a near-payload) committed by Olmos in various scenes, to the nasal consternation of [[Mary McDonnell]], [[Michael Hogan]] and others.
*A very ''wet'' long fart committed by [[Ryan Robbins]] during a scene with the [[The Circle|Circle]]. As others react in laughter and disgust, [[Katee Sackhoff]] yells, "There was a line! There was a line and you went over it!" As a shock joke, the moment from the televised version where Tigh slams Charlie Connor's head into the table is edited into the middle of the blooper.
*Mary McDonnell and Olmos in a scene from "[[Hero]]", with McDonnell ad-libbing about Adama's plan to resign, saying, "I think you're having a ([[frak]]king) breakdown...you're out of your (frakking) mind!"
*Olmos and McDonnell in a scene from "[[Unfinished Business]]" where Olmos asks if she has a [[New Caprican loco weed|"joint"]], and McDonnell says, "Yep" and pretends to pull one from her blouse.
*When Adama has the phone conversation with his son in "[[Occupation]]" about the botched excerise, Olmos mispronounces "scenario" causing [[Tahmoh Penikett]] to start laughing, after which Olmos ends the take with "...how the hell are we gonna pull this off? Huh? Tell me! Up your ass too! Thank you."
*[[Tricia Helfer]] and [[Lucy Lawless]] jokingly gyrate against each other in a scene from "Hero", with Lawless telling the cameraman "put that on your perv tape!"
*A tribute to [[Number Three]], including outtakes of Lawless tripping over both her lines and her feet.
*Two [[Colonial One]] mishaps: one in which Tricia Helfer bumps her head on a low ceiling and another in which [[Rekha Sharma]] nearly pokes her eye out with the corner of Baltar's portrait in a scene from "Hero".
*A doubled up blooper in which [[Dean Stockwell]], acting against a greenscreen version of himself as [[Cavil]] messes up a line, calling the humans "The Poop People". His greenscreen counterpart then accidentially says "fuck" instead of "frak" and cracks up.
*Michael Hogan and [[Kate Vernon]] fooling around between takes on "[[Unfinished Business]]".
*Olmos breaking into laughter during his otherwise-serious confession scene in "Hero".
*A mock dream sequence where Adama and Roslin talk quietly (in a scene from "[[Taking A Break From All Your Worries]]") Roslin appears to dream of Olmos as clips play of a younger, sleeker Olmos swimming in the ocean, while Olmos imagines McDonnell as a clip of the actress in her role as "Stands With A Fist" from ''Dances With Wolves'' plays. The scene ends when Adama says "So, what do we do?" and turns off the light in a humorous suggestion of some sexual hijinks.

The clip ends with a message congratulating the cast and crew to a "kickass season 3" and a [[I Wanna Frak|BSG themed rap song]].

==Other outtakes==
So far the Season 3 gag reel is the only one to be widely disseminated. Other bloopers have been shown at conventions and low-quality clips taken from the audience have appeared on the Net.

Also widely circulated is a series of outtakes by the cast during recording sessions for various Sci Fi Channel promos during Season 1, during which most have difficulty saying the name of their series, although [[James Callis]] tries to save his take by changing the name of the series to ''[[Gaius Baltar|Baltarstar]] Galactica''.

Action figures

2009-04-12T07:28:28Z

Leechcode5: /* Trendmasters (1996/97) */ Was incorrect about there being an Apollo figure in this line.

Action figures of characters from the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Reimagined]] and [[TOS|Original]] ''Battlestar Galactica'' Series have been produced by several companies at different times. This page is an overview with an emphasis upon the action figures currently in production for the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Reimagined Series]].

==Original Series==

Action figures from the [[TOS|Original Series]] were produced by Mattel in the late 1970s, Trendmasters in the mid 1990s, and by Joyride Studios in 2005.
===Mattel (1978/79)===
Action figures from the [[TOS|Original Series]] were produced by Mattel in the late 1970s. The 3 1/2 inch figures were similar in quality and scale to the then-current Star Wars figures produced by Kenner.

*[[Adama (TOS)|Commander Adama]]
*[[Starbuck (TOS)|Lt. Starbuck]]
*[[Cylon (TOS)|Cylon Centurian]] (sic)
*[[Imperious Leader]]
*[[Muffit|Daggit]]
*[[Ovion]]
*[[Baltar (TOS)|Baltar]]
*[[Command Centurion|Cylon Commander]]
*[[Lucifer]]
*[[Boray]]

====Bootlegs of Mattel Figures====
Bootleg copies of Mattel's Cylon figures have been found for sale in Mexico and on the internet. [http://actionfiguresca.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=Starwars&action=print&thread=5198] Appearing to be made from the same molds as the original, licensed figures, these knock-off Cylons can be found in numerous colors, and sometimes even with heads from completely different toy lines. [http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2511481340092311211zaSwXZ] It is important to note that bootleg toys are often made with cheaper, sometimes even dangerous, materials than authentic licensed products, and care should be taken to differentiate whether a figure is legitimate or bootlegged.

===Trendmasters (1996/97)===
Action figures from the [[TOS|Original Series]] were produced by Trendmasters in the mid to late 1990s. These toys included figures and ships based around the Richard Hatch continuation novels. Cylon figures featured LED lights in their visors that glowed when a button was pressed on the figure's abdomen.

*[[Starbuck (TOS)| Lt. Starbuck]]
*[[Centurion (TOS)| Cylon Centurion]] (silver)
*[[Command Centurion| Cylon Command Centurion]] (gold)
*[[Centurion (TOS)| Cylon Stealth Centurion]] (black)
*[[Imperious Leader| Cylon Imperious Leader]]

===Joyride Studios (2005)===
Action figures and vehicles from the [[TOS|Original Series]] were produced by Joyride Studios in 2005.

*[[Apollo (TOS)|Captain Apollo]]
*[[Starbuck (TOS)|Lt. Starbuck]]

Action figures

Leechcode5: /* Mattel (1978/79) */

Action figures of characters from the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Reimagined]] and [[TOS|Original]] ''Battlestar Galactica'' Series have been produced by several companies at different times. This page is an overview with an emphasis upon the action figures currently in production for the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Reimagined Series]].

==Original Series==

Action figures from the [[TOS|Original Series]] were produced by Mattel in the late 1970s, Trendmasters in the mid 1990s, and by Joyride Studios in 2005.
===Mattel (1978/79)===
Action figures from the [[TOS|Original Series]] were produced by Mattel in the late 1970s. The 3 1/2 inch figures were similar in quality and scale to the then-current Star Wars figures produced by Kenner.

*[[Adama (TOS)|Commander Adama]]
*[[Starbuck (TOS)|Lt. Starbuck]]
*[[Cylon (TOS)|Cylon Centurian]] (sic)
*[[Imperious Leader]]
*[[Muffit|Daggit]]
*[[Ovion]]
*[[Baltar (TOS)|Baltar]]
*[[Command Centurion|Cylon Commander]]
*[[Lucifer]]
*[[Boray]]

====Bootlegs of Mattel Figures====
Bootleg copies of Mattel's Cylon figures have been found for sale in Mexico and on the internet. [http://actionfiguresca.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=Starwars&action=print&thread=5198] Appearing to be made from the same molds as the original, licensed figures, these knock-off Cylons can be found in numerous colors, and sometimes even with heads from completely different toy lines. [http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2511481340092311211zaSwXZ] It is important to note that bootleg toys are often made with cheaper, sometimes even dangerous, materials than authentic licensed products, and care should be taken to differentiate whether a figure is legitimate or bootlegged.

===Trendmasters (1996/97)===
Action figures from the [[TOS|Original Series]] were produced by Trendmasters in the mid to late 1990s. These toys included figures and ships based around the Richard Hatch continuation novels. Cylon figures featured LED lights in their visors that glowed when a button was pressed on the figure's abdomen.

*[[Apollo (TOS)| Captain Apollo]]
*[[Centurion (TOS)| Cylon Centurion]] (silver)
*[[Command Centurion| Cylon Command Centurion]] (gold)
*[[Centurion (TOS)| Cylon Stealth Centurion]] (black)
*[[Imperious Leader| Cylon Imperious Leader]]

===Joyride Studios (2005)===

*[[Apollo (TOS)|Captain Apollo]]
*[[Starbuck (TOS)|Lt. Starbuck]]
*[[Cylon (TOS)|Cylon Centurion]] (silver armor)

Advance sketches shown in January 2007 at the UK ToyFair indicated that an alternate flight suit body was considered that would have featured an unzipped collar.<ref name="UKToyFair2007">2007 UK ToyFair images available at [http://www.action-figure.com/events/main.php?g2_itemId=57021 ActionFigure.com].</ref> Pending licensor approval, the first wave of figures will be in stores summer 2007 (and the Chief Tyrol variant will be available online exclusively from DST).
