Updated User Page

I stole my revised article design from Mercifull, and is living proof that I can't wiki code worth a damn. --Spencerian 21:04, 19 December 2006 (CST)

He stole the design from me. Joe stole it from him. lol. Been going around. heh. Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 21:14, 19 December 2006 (CST)

It continues the rounds; I've "borrowed" now. =) JubalHarshaw 23:04, 12 January 2007 (CST)

Response to EoJ Reversion

Hi, just wanted to drop a quick line regarding the rollback to the article summary. I posted a comment regarding it on the Talk page, but wanted to say that as it was written, it seems too narrative. Granted, my changes may have confused readers, but I feel it needs to be consolidated. What do you think? --Sgtpayne 12:26, 20 December 2006 (CST) ^{(T - C - E)}

Shane had a good idea. We could break it up into acts (commercial breaks) but we should keep the relative order. I'll give that a try if someone hasn't done so; I have the episode downloaded. --Spencerian 18:03, 20 December 2006 (CST)

Response from Meteor

Hi you added something to my talk page recently. I just rewatched the scene in Kobol's Last Gleaming part 1 where Elosha, Billy and Roslin discuss Kobol. Billy says the ruins on the planet are 2,000 years old. Elosha responds that this corresponds with when the 13 (not 12) colonies left Kobol.

While I agree you're probably right about the 13th colony leaving for earth 3,600 years ago and the other 12 colonies only a mere 2,000 years I do think the article should reflect the fact that Elosha's comment is not entirely accurate. Meteor

Response from MatthewFenton regarding clean up

Hey. Responded at the talk page showing some concerns as to why I believe it needs a clean up - if you don't think it needs a clean up then feel free to remove the tag, I've shown my concerns at least, hopefully it can make the article better. MatthewFenton 17:39, 1 January 2007 (CST)

Red Pill

Follow the "Yellow" Link Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 12:46, 5 January 2007 (CST)

Strange... it's not yellow for me. (Monobook has either blue or pinkish). --Steelviper 12:58, 5 January 2007 (CST)

Aww...this is very cool, one way or another. I'll fill it in a little later today. --Spencerian 13:15, 5 January 2007 (CST)

Welcome, Young Padawan!

Congrats! Here's a Squeegee, and some pertinent reading material from Wikipedia. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 20:04, 13 January 2007 (CST)

Have we seen a Squeegee Boy in BSG yet? :-) Congrats Spenc! Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 20:07, 13 January 2007 (CST)

Congrats man, you've earned it. --Talos 21:54, 13 January 2007 (CST)

Congratulations ;-) MatthewFenton 06:08, 14 January 2007 (CST)

Congratulations! --Peter Farago 08:06, 14 January 2007 (CST)

Much obliged, everyone. Thanks. --Spencerian 09:58, 14 January 2007 (CST)

Thanks

Just wanted to thank you for the advice you left on my talk page, next time I'll try not to jump the gun without better researching.--The One True Fred 08:00, 26 January 2007 (CST)

We've all done it before, but its not much of a learning curve. Once you know what's probably rumor and what's good, it only makes contributing and reading things here that much more intriguing. Don't let it sway your enthusiasm! --Spencerian 08:05, 26 January 2007 (CST)

Howdy

Are you a fan of the flying bikes of doom? MatthewFenton 04:44, 27 January 2007 (CST)

Um, I have no idea what that is. --Spencerian 08:10, 27 January 2007 (CST)

"Flying motorcycle" I presume --Serenity 08:12, 27 January 2007 (CST)

Galactica 1980 :-P MatthewFenton 08:22, 27 January 2007 (CST)

Oh, lords, no. It's only ten episodes, but because of its horror I blame it for my social inadequacies in high school, my acne, the heartbreak of psoriasis and global warming. Who can I sue? Is that Oprah calling...? --Spencerian 08:33, 27 January 2007 (CST)

Also, FYI, Dr. Phil on line 5. --Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 08:59, 27 January 2007 (CST)

I noticed a comment in my talk about why you removed notes about the real Earth as homeworld for Humanity some months ago, feeling they were fanwanking. At the same time you pointed to pages about the sacred scrolls and various fan theories about the Exodus or Exodi in the show. In order to learn, I wanted to understand the difference. Is it just where I put it? My goal was to add only factual information. While I realize that the Earth in the show is going to be somewhat fictionalized (if we ever see it) there is an important difference between an Earth that had a different history than ours, and one where the science is so different that you might as well say Mars had canals (a common SF trope from before the 60s) or that rocks fall up.

However, where is the proper place to speculate what theories of Earth are consistent with what the writers are trying to show us in the program? The question of whether, in the re-imagined series, Earth is a colony of Kobol, or instead Kobol is a colony of Earth (and why that was covered up) is an important one to the show, and there are a number of clues in the show pointing to the latter case.
