Talk:Life Forms of the Twelve Colonies/Archive 1

I remember cats from Starbuck's nonsense dialogue with Adama and rats from a scene on Caprica, but when were dogs, horses and goats mentioned? --Peter Farago 23:15, 11 Aug 2005 (EDT)

Okay, that's resolved. What about Tobacco? Does that exist in this universe, or is it replaced by the Fumarella plant? --Peter Farago 16:38, 12 Aug 2005 (EDT)

Tiger

Now why exactly is Gaeta's full name and a link to his page included? We didn't do that for anybody else. I think his name is as instantly recognizable as anyone else's. Rocky8311 02:20, October 19, 2005 (EDT)

Changed it since it bothers you. This page could use some love from Battlestar wiki:Standards and Conventions - after we figure out quote formats, anyway. --Peter Farago 02:24, 19 October 2005 (EDT)

Coffea

Coffea is a plant. Coffee is a drink. --Peter Farago 19:39, 27 October 2005 (EDT)

Beef, Pork, and Fish Products

In a deleted scene from The Farm, Lee explains to President Roslin and Elosha that the ship's heavily guarded freezer contains, "the last steaks, chops, burgers, roasts, briskets, and fillets left anywhere in the universe." Which could indicate that cows, pigs, and/or boars existed in the colonies (fish already having been established in dialogue by Baltar and Leoben).

Can this be included in the wiki even though it's from a deleted scene (not exactly canon). --Mason 00:19, 22 November 2005 (EST)

If it were an actual deleted scene posted to scifi.com, as was the case for several cut scenes from season 1, I wouldn't hesitate. As it is, all we have is Moore's paraphrase of cut dialogue to go on, so I'm a little hesitant. --Peter Farago 00:51, 22 November 2005 (EST)

No, it was posted up on the official site; all of the delightful deleted scenes for season 2....except ANY from Pegasus; guess the extra 15 minutes was so long we'll have to wait for the Extended DVD Director's Cut. -->There's quite a bit of info in these deleted scenes, many of which were only deleted for time and pacing reasons, but get stuff from series bible, etc. We're going to have to figure out our policy on this (sometimes we say "in a deleted scene this was said" and other times we just put deleted scene material in as a given, but we're going to have to spend some time sorting this out. That said, I don't think we should assume there are cows and pigs because "steaks and fillets" are just cuts of meat and could conceivably come off of any kind of animal. --Ricimer 01:29, 22 November 2005 (EST)

Gah. How did I miss this? --Peter Farago 11:57, 22 November 2005 (EST)

I suppose, in the end, it's an interesting anecdote, but not conclusive about any particular life form, merely indicative of how those life forms can be served as meals. --Mason 12:42, 22 November 2005 (EST)
