Character Guide Pic

I wonder if there wouldn't be a couple of pretty good character pic opportunities for her during "Final Cut". --Steelviper 10:22, 24 January 2006 (EST)

I would think "Scar" would have even better opportunities; hopefully someone will step up. --Spencerian 16:22, 8 February 2006 (EST)

Dr Bat's Source has an interesting one of her doing the "equilibrium" firing drill (under the "Episodic" photography). However, it's not much of a face closeup, and I'm not 100% sure on the copyright status of those shots (as cool as they are). They look too good to be screenshots, so if they are really promo photos then I think we'd be ok. --Steelviper 16:40, 8 February 2006 (EST)

From Dark Thoughts: "All Battlestar Galactica images and videos © NBC and Universal Television.", which means the copyright is the same as for screenshots, so go for it. --Undc23 04:40, 15 February 2006 (EST)

What did Kara Realize?

I think I agree with Ricimer The Merovingian. Kara didn't realize that she was being destructive because of Anders... Anders is fraking up her normally destructive mentality. She didn't realize jack while in the cockpit. All she knew at the time was that she chickened out. Later, while sparing with Karl, he pinpointed why she chickened out. It's not like Kara was normal before meeting Anders. Before meeting him, she'd have gone on in and been blown up. After meeting him, she's become a bit more sane and she doesn't know how to handle that. I'll wait for responses before reverting, but I think The Merovingian (who sorely needs a name I can call him that's much shorter) and I had identical interpretations of the final few minutes of "Scar". --Day 00:48, 8 February 2006 (EST)

A) Agreed. I don't think Spencerian's assesment was right: Starbuck "chickened out" (prudently protected her own life) because, as they stated in dialog at the end, she has Anders to live for now, etc. etc.

B) Why? You seem to have little difficultly in typing "The Merovingian" at present. --The Merovingian 00:55, 8 February 2006 (EST)

Re: B - Well, I use "Day" partly because it is a short, short word. You may've noticed I refer to Joe Beaudoin Jr as simply "Joe", Peter Farago as simply "Peter", Spencerian as "Spence" and Steelviper as "SV". That may be a bit too many examples, but I'm trying to establish a pattern of typing laziness. If push comes to shove, I may start calling you "M" or something... "The Frenchman" is just as long, see... Anyway. That's the long answer. I guess the short answer would be, "Because I can't be bothered." *wink* --Day 01:21, 8 February 2006 (EST)

Frenchy? ;) --Redwall 07:39, 8 February 2006 (EST)

All: There's no problem in updating or revising my intepretation, especially given the insightful explanation in this thread. Please, just type it in so that it doesn't read like my 9-year old son wrote it, thanks.

And I have already selected "Merv" for the M's short name, which is very obvious to me (and any Matrix fan). --Spencerian 09:39, 8 February 2006 (EST)

Indeed. Yes, "Club Hel" scene, mexican standoff bit, etc. etc. --The Merovingian

Acting CAG?

Admittedly I am no expert on military nuances so correct my confusion if you can: Kat was leading the Vipers sent against Pegasus in Resurrection Ship part I, but does that mean she was the actual, promoted "CAG"? I mean, a pilot cannot be awake or expected to be capable of flyint 24 hours a day, so logically, at times they lead flight missions during which the actual "CAG" is not "leading the planes". We don't really know who Galactica CAG was after Apollo got transfered. Just thought I'd bring it up. Of course, I actually think the current idea of saying she was "presumed" in the link box is actually our best choice of action, and I actually don't see a better way of saying any of this. Just thought I'd bring it up. --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 22:34, 25 March 2006 (CST)

Kara was stationed on pegaus at the time. If the leader of a sqaud is not contacted who is then? A polit with less rank? She must have been acting CAG or even just CAG after the transfer. --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 00:14, 26 March 2006 (CST)

Well I guess that would depend on whether we consider Starbuck acting CAG during "Bastille Day" for example, but I don't think so. --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 00:19, 26 March 2006 (CST)

I would say she was a CAG at that time. She is conducting the meeting, and that who the CAG is... someone even if it is so such a short time... bears that title. everyone keeps their title, even past retirment. (i.e. Retired Soilders keep their rank, unless revoked by a Dishonarble Dischange.) It's almost like if I were the Governor of a State, and after I left office, I would still be called Governor. --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 00:22, 26 March 2006 (CST)
