RexCutter: +Centurion vs. Centurian paragraph

Hi. I hear you're the guy running this Wiki. I wondered if it would be possible to have the Format broken links preference (misc. settings) default to unset? I keep running into broken links because of silly typo's (Carpica instead of Caprica for example) and with this preference off it becomes a lot easier to spot these. Oh, and thanks for setting all this up btw.

Hi there,

No problem in changing the config. It does help out!

Feel free to shoot any suggestions my way any time.

==Pictures==
Hello Joe,

You state that everything on your wiki is GNU FDL which means that somebody can copy the pictures as long as they attribute it to your site, Being an old hand in picturediscussions at nl:wikipedia I do not dare to import your pictures, although I would love some for the BG articles I am doing in Dutch. Can you please elaborate on the issue a bit for me (praying to the lords of kobol I can use some) [[User:Waerth|Waerth]] 14:52, 3 Feb 2005 (EST)

== Regarding Licensing (Images, et al) ==

Actually, having reviewed the GFDL license, I've decided to go towards the Creative Commons License.

I made this decision after taking a look at the [http://www.memory-alpha.org Memory Alpha] website and the license they used (which is CCL). I also thoroughly read the GFDL, which didn't state anything about images or fair use under American law.

I'll write a more detailed explanation later on. Maybe Saturday... but anyway, here's my official position on the images:

Images are fair use. That means episode caps, images, and soundbites, can be used, as so long as

* credit is given to the original source;
* no one makes financial profit from the images use;
* and are not used heavily (we try to use 2 to 3 images max on any one entry, for example).

In essence, fair use is applied when the image is copyrighted and is for educational use.

==Centurion vs. Centurian==
Hi, Joe. Have you had a chance yet to check the spelling on the DVDs? (''As I own the TOS DVDs, I'll take a look into them to see what the spelling is. From what I remember, it is usually "centurion" as in the centurions from Rome. -- Joe Beaudoin 22:34, 26 Apr 2005'') -- [[User:RexCutter]] [[User talk:RexCutter|(talk)]] 19 May 2005

RexCutter: cp, +note, changed Centurian to Centurion

== Overview ==
: ''After crash-landing on a Cylon-occupied planet, Starbuck joins forces with a group of young human renegades.''

This is a "[[Starbuck episode]]".

== Summary ==

* While on patrol in the [[Omega sector]], [[Boomer (TOS)|Boomer]] and [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]] are suddenly attacked by four [[Cylon Raider (TOS)|Cylon Raiders]]; the undercarriage of Starbuck's [[Colonial Viper (TOS)|viper]] is badly damaged.
* On his scanner, Boomer locates [[Attilla]], a habitable planet for Starbuck to land his crippled fighter on; running low on fuel, Boomer retuns to the ''[[Galactica (TOS)|Galactica]]'' to bring back help.
* In a Cylon-controlled garrison on the planet Attilla, the two vipers are tracked on scanner; when one viper is seen crash landing on the planet's surface, garrison commander [[Specter]] (an [[IL-series]] Cylon) orders a squad of [[Cylon Centurion (TOS)|Centurions]] to capture the downed pilot.
* Starbuck pulls himself from the wreckage of his viper, but his leg is badly injured; meanwhile, the Cylon patrol looms closer and closer, approaching the [[Colonial Warrior]] through tall marsh reeds. Starbuck tries to evade the Cylons, but he collapses on the riverbank in exhaustion, only to be captured by the pursuing Centurions.
* Specter informs [[Baltar]] (aboard his [[basestar]]) of the warrior's capture; Baltar, of course, seeks information about the location of the last remaining [[battlestar]].
* Returning to the garrison with Starbuck, the Cylon patrol is ambushed by a group of young fighters (children, really) who destroy the Cylons and rescue Starbuck, who passes out cold.
* Aboard the ''Galactica'', an ill [[Adama (TOS)|Adama]] is told the bad news about Starbuck; they decide that [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] and Boomer will pilot a shuttle — so as not to attract attention to themselves — back to Attilla to fetch Starbuck. They have 24 [[Centar (TOS)|centares]] before the fleet is out of range.
* On Attilla, Starbuck is helped back to the children's campsite, inside a cave. The children turn out to all be siblings, the true owners of the garrison currently occupied by the Cylons; the children have been waging war against the "tin cans" ever since.
* The eldest son, [[Kyle]], is their ''de facto'' leader; eldest daughter [[Miri]] is their moral leader and acting mother. The other children include [[Araidne]] and brothers [[Nilz]] and [[Robus]].
* With his father away on the mission to rescue Starbuck, [[Boxey (TOS)|Boxey]] crawls into bed with his grandfather, and they tell one another stories as they drift off to sleep.
* Kyle, who had previously lied to Starbuck that his father ([[Megan]]) was dead, has secretly conspired with Specter and the Cylons to trade Starbuck for his imprisoned father. Specter gives the good news to Megan, who reluctantly agrees to cooperate.
* Specter lies while reporting to Baltar, concealing the fact that Starbuck has escaped; [[Lucifer]] expresses his distrust of Specter, a previous IL-version of himself.
* Starbuck, pleading to Miri's and Kyle's better judgment, finally convinces them to not proceed with the trade; instead, they put a dummy (wearing Starbuck's flight jacket) on a raft, and push it across the moat to the Cylons.
* Specter and the Cylons, who had the same plan, push a likewise-fake dummy of Megan in a raft across the moat to the children; when Specter realizes that he has been deceived, the Cylons open fire on the children's position.
* Kyle finally agrees to allow Starbuck to lead their forces, although Kyle will remain as the second-in-command. Together with their whole clan they compose a battle plan — and a rhyming poem to match — to attack the Cylons occupying their castle:
::Through the tunnel, under the land/Starbuck and Miri creep hand on hand.
::We swim the moat to the petro dump/And blow it up with a great big ''whump!''
::At the bridge, the youngest daughter/Drops tin cans into the water.
::And around the castle, the son firstborn/Rides at a gallop and blows his horn.
::We go up the steps to the castle floor/And sneek a peek through the secret door.
::Although the dump is double-guarded/We'll sneak across when the guards are parted.
::Robus sets one bomb and then the other/Leaving the rest to his older brother.
::When all is ready across the moat/Kyle will sound the signal note.
::At the bridge, the youngest daughter/Drops tin cans into the water.
::Through all the confusion, noise, and bother/Starbuck and Miri rescue father.
* As the plan comes to fruition, Specter files one final (bogus) report with Baltar; immediately thereafter, the entire Cylon force departs Attilla, as it is "too rusty for their circuits".
* With the Cylon presence gone from their castle, Megan is reunited with his children.
* Apollo and Boomer land the shuttle to bring Starbuck home to the ''Galactica'', arriving just in time to see Starbuck get a passionate farewell kiss from Miri.

== Questions ==

*Were Megan and his family the sole human occupants of the planet Attilla? If not, then why didn't the Cylons hunt down the other humans? The castle seemed to exist inside a vacuum on the planet.
*Why do the Cylons so ruthlessly pursue the ''Galactica'' as the "last remnants of humanity" when, in reality, humans clearly exist in abundance everywhere they go. Nearly every episode has them encountering some forgotten "fringe colony" teeming with humanity, yet the Cylons turn a blind eye toward them and myopically follow the ''Galactica''.
*When Colonials encounter a planet such as Attilla (specifically, a planet populated with humans), why don't they become inquisitive about the human inhabitants? In other words, why don't they assume that they're getting closer to Earth? After all, they left their devastated homeworlds (''[[Saga of a Star World (TOS)|Saga of a Star World]]''), then went through a vast, unknown magnetic void (''[[Lost Planet of the Gods]]''), and have since emerged into what is effectively "uncharted space". So when they find humans, shouldn't they be a little more inquisitive (or, at least, excited?) rather than dismiss them as an unimportant fringe colony.
*Which one was adopted, Kyle or Miri?

== Analysis ==


== Notes ==
*In the opening sequence just before Starbuck's viper is damaged, ''three'' incoming Raiders are seen on Boomer's scanner; however, there are ''four'' Raiders in the actual dogfight.



== Noteworthy Dialogue ==
*'''Starbuck''': A viper pilot only flies three fighters — the one he trains in, the one he escapes from, and the one he dies in."
 
*'''Boomer''':"I'll be back with a clean uniform before you know it."
 
*'''Centurion''':"These humanoids are not well constructed. They damage easily."
*'''Starbuck''': "At least we don't rust."
*'''Centurion''':"Silence."
 
*'''Specter''':"Oh, no! Not gain."
*'''Centurion''':"The petro dump is exploding."
*'''Specter''':"''I know'' the petro dump is exploding!"
 
*'''Baltar''':"Excellent idea: scorched earth policy. You're a wonder, Specter."
 
*'''Starbuck''':"About time you showed up. Got the clean uniform?"
*'''Boomer''':"Clean uniform? What...?"
 
*'''Starbuck''':"Miri, you'd have broken half the hearts on the ''Galactica'', including mine." ''(kisses Miri)''
*'''Boomer''':"I don't know how he does it."
*'''Apollo''':"Neither do I. Starbuck, we have to go.... Starbuck!"
