She's been in the background for too long. I enjoyed her early development, but it's slacked off to where she just seemed bitter. Cally was a perky upbeat person with a creative streak, and the attack (as did all characters) changed her. Not that I want Cally to become the Whore of the Battlestar, but it would be fun for, say, her and Gaeta to strike a rapport (if not romantic as Gaeta can be a bigger stickler of regs, even with the need to make babies). There's plenty of enlisted; perhaps even she and the chief, Laird...others from Pegasus. I don't want her to become a lost character as Billy K had become. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 13:41, 14 February 2006 (EST) | She's been in the background for too long.

I just thought of this: in going with the Classical-themed names, maybe her full/real name's Calliope. Kuralyov 20:43, 28 Apr 2005 (EDT)
New Look
The last page was mostly garbage, opinion and things unverified. The new page has information that came directly from the episodes, and is accurate.
- But this picture is horrible...much too dark. I'll see if I cna find a better one. Kuralyov 17:39, 26 Jun 2005 (EDT)
- I added a picture. Actually, I had uploaded it, but forgot to add it to the article the first time around. Let me know your thoughts and concerns about it. -- Joe Beaudoin 11:32, 27 Jun 2005 (EDT)
- Looks good to me. Kuralyov 17:39, 27 Jun 2005 (EDT)
- I think it needs a better picture, one of the ones of her smiling on the flight deck. This is the one of her looking sad during Adama's speech. ---Ricimer, 25 Aug 2005
First Name
According to the novelization of the miniseries, her first name is "Jane". --Peter Farago 19:35, 29 December 2005 (EST)
- I noticed this myself, but I didn't put it up because I don't know if that is canonical. I mean according to the novelization she was also in a relationship with Prosna; I think a lot of this is just "made up" by the writer and not associated with RDM in any shape or form. I need to get around to making a full write-up of the novelization. Updates as I get them. 5x5. --Ricimer 20:35, 29 December 2005 (EST)
Possibly a nod to B7
Since "Number Six" may be a nod to Prisoner, it may be that "Cally" is a nod to the eponymous telepath on "Blake's Seven," another tough-edged science fiction series. Below 16:26, 2 February 2006 (EST)
- No. I was unaware that Cally was a character name on Blake's 7, but Ron D. Moore stated in the DVD commentary for "Bastille Day" that he picked the names of Cally, Socinus, and Prosna from an internet "Random ancient name generator". I actually had that in my transcript of the DVD commentary. Someone saw fit to remove it. I thought that was okay, but I guess I'll look at the history page and restore it now. --Ricimer 16:37, 2 February 2006 (EST)
- I doubt that this is a nod to B7... Unless Avon and Vila show up with Servalan at their heels. :-) -- Joe Beaudoin 22:05, 2 February 2006 (EST)
Time for a Cally romance
She's been in the background for too long. I enjoyed her early development, but it's slacked off to where she just seemed bitter. Cally was a perky upbeat person with a creative streak, and the attack (as did all characters) changed her. Not that I want Cally to become the Whore of the Battlestar, but it would be fun for, say, her and Gaeta to strike a rapport (if not romantic as Gaeta can be a bigger stickler of regs, even with the need to make babies). There's plenty of enlisted; perhaps even she and the chief, Laird...others from Pegasus. I don't want her to become a lost character as Billy K had become. --Spencerian 13:41, 14 February 2006 (EST)
