Talk:Laura Roslin faction/Archive 1

Should this page include Helo and Starbuck due to the events of "Home"? The description refers primarily to the "Resistance" break-out and is rather ambiguous as to whether later events should be mentioned as well. --Redwall 20:02, 22 Aug 2005 (EDT)

Interesting point. Helo & Starbuck are only accidental members of the faction, at best. Don't know if I'd say that Starbuck started the faction by disobeying orders and jumping to Caprica. Colonial one 23:36, 22 Aug 2005 (EDT)

Kara is the very last person on the ship who would sit around watching Tigh make disastrous decisions while Adama was incapacitated. She already demonstrated her completely disrespect for him on far less crucial issues. Her loyalty to Adama is stronger, but he was still comatose when the Roslin Faction made their move. It defies my imagination to think she'd have stayed on Tigh's side of a Tigh/Roslin showdown. --April Arcus 00:24, 23 Aug 2005 (EDT)

Agreed. In fact, I'd say she'd punch him a second and third time to ensure that Adama had an equally unconscious bedmate than see him in command. She'd happily be in the brig for that one, I think. She knows he's a bad commander, although she may have a begrudging respect for his military knowledge. Spencerian 00:37, 23 Aug 2005 (EDT)

Is this article worth keeping?

Is this article worth keeping? It didn't turn into as big of a thing as we thought it would. --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 02:29, 8 August 2006 (CDT)

Ships in the faction

Why not put a list of known ships in the page to give off the 24 ships list. I know that Astral Queen, Monarch, Adriatic, Gemenon Traveller and Gemini are on that list. --CoreyDanian 10.56 24 October 2006

Feel free to add these ships to the list as appropriate. --Spencerian 19:42, 23 October 2006 (CDT)

Thank You, veteran.--CoreyDanian 13.14 24 October 2006

Conspiracy or Fleet or both?

Is this article about the conspiracy to release and re-instate President Roslin only, or should it also cover the topic of her fleet of 24 ships? At the moment it seems to originally define itself as the former, and then tag-on little bits about the latter at the end. I propose creating a seperate article, Laura Roslin Fleet to describe the breakaway ships and people (it's "government", Zarek's quest to become leader etc.) OTW 19:53, 17 July 2007 (CDT)

I think the intent of the article was to cover the entire fracture of the fleet from the prison break to the portion of the fleet that jumps away...all the way through Home Part II. However I think it was put together piecemeal and so it's as fractured as the fleet :) I'm going to mark it for cleanup rather than create a new article. I think of the whole thing as one big event.--RUSnooky 22:05, 17 July 2007 (CDT)

Agreed. Keeping both in one article makes sense. But it could be restructed to flow more naturally. --Serenity 07:40, 18 July 2007 (CDT)

I restructured the article a bit, by moving the part about the escape plan and the people involved further up, thus it's really about the people and their actions. I also expanded the retelling of the escape a bit as it's spread over several episodes. Tigh's and Baltar's action are truly analysis and get a separate section.
The overly technical composition of the Fleet is really secondary, but doesn't need an own article --Serenity 07:40, 14 August 2007 (CDT)
