Talk:Jack Fisk/Archive 1

Is Fisk a Commander now, or still only a Colonel? He IS commanding a Battlestar, now. The article lists him as a Commander, but refers to him as a Colonel. He seems to be listed as a Commander in most places, so I am going to change it. If someone has evidence to the contrary, they should change it back. --BMS 16:43, 20 January 2006 (EST)

No, do not do that. We don't know if he's been promoted. And we'll find out soon enough anyway, so don't bother. --Ricimer 16:50, 20 January 2006 (EST)

Established in the episode Black Market, Fisk is at the rank of Commander, they referred to him as "Commander Fisk" during the meeting with the President and Admiral Adama. --themoonrulez 20:55, 30 January 2006 (EST)

Actually I already did in his info box after the episode aired, I just thought someone else might rewrite the article itself. --Ricimer 23:12, 30 January 2006 (EST)

I know I'm really going nuts in using spoilers and spoiltext tags, but I'd rather do this than hear more whining on how someone's day was officially ruined because they couldn't realize that they can't plod through BSG Wiki with inpunity, spoiler-free. They have been warned. :) I'm becoming more aware when the spoiltext tag is more appropriate and adjusting accordingly. Spencerian 15:01, 21 September 2005 (EDT)

Preach it. --Peter Farago 17:25, 21 September 2005 (EDT)

It's possible that Fisk was the Landing Signal Officer of the Pegasus prior to the XO's murder. He could have been in the same position as Captain Kelly before Adama got shot by Boomer. Just a thought. Ltcrashdown December 23, 2005

Possibly, but we don't really know at all. I mean, Galactica is functioning at half crew capacity. Thus it only has one Commander, one Colonel, NO Majors, and a few Captains. Perhaps a FULLY crewed (at the time of the attack) Battlestar like Pegasus would have several Majors on board? Or maybe even more than one Colonel? (seeing as it was the flagship of an Admiral, it may have had more officers for that reason, as well. Anyway, I'm not quite sure on that and I hope the upcoming stuff gives a little more backround. Consequently, you have made a running start here at BSGwiki LTcrashdown, kudos; I did not notice that Kelly's first name is Aaron, etc; good catch (you know how scifi keeps scrunching the credits down really small? Makes it hard to read stuff, etc. --Ricimer 17:40, 24 December 2005 (EST)

Well I like to watch the DVDs with subtitles on as well as looking over the closing credit co-stars. You can learn a lot about characters in an episode that way. Thanks for the kind words. Ltcrashdown December 24, 2005

I agree with RIcimer's assessment. --Peter Farago 19:23, 24 December 2005 (EST)

I also agree. No reason to believe there weren't plenty of high-ranking officers on an Admiral-commanded Battlestar. I figured that I'd just mention Fisk's possible LSO history. It was just a theory. Ltcrashdown December 24, 2005

Fisk's Serial Number

Since Fisk's serial number we see on the recon photos does not conform to established serial number style, is it possible what we see on that photo is NOT his serial number and the abbriviation SER stands for something else. I think it's speculative (albeit educated speculation) that SER stands for serial number. After all, the accepted abbriviation for serial number here on Earth is SN. I think it should be removed form his bio until we have other evidence (which we probably won't get since Fisk is dead). I was going to edit it, but it's been so long since this page was edited, I thought I'd get feedback first.--RUSnooky 23:11, 1 June 2007 (CDT)

Looking at the photo, it is possible that "SER" stands for "Series", as in "series of photos". I noted that there isn't a colon after every heading on that sheet; both "Ser" and "Request" don't have them. That leads more credence to it being a separate header, rather than an addition to the "Authorization" header. Tyrol's serial number is six digits, numeric. Same for Kara Thrace. Helo's has a two digit alpha component - but with a six digit number after it. Viper 7242's serial: 7242NC. The Viper 220 notes the six-digit nature of the majority of known serial numbers. My research seems to support the removal. JubalHarshaw 23:45, 1 June 2007 (CDT)

Does anyone else have any other screencaps of the Res Ship recon photos? Maybe there's more to it. Or maybe this is a question for Bradley Thompson. Thoughts?--RUSnooky 10:28, 4 June 2007 (CDT)
