Talk:Precipice/Archive 1

Spoiler Source

I've listened through a couple episodes of the linked radio show. It appears to be a political talk show - which episode contained the spoiler details, and how were they presented? --Peter Farago 22:39, 12 April 2006 (CDT)

Further, could you tell us which specific episode this info appears in? What if this guy just saw the same early (wrong) script drafts I mentioned before, then read them on radio as if fact? --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 22:55, 12 April 2006 (CDT)

Peter, I'm trying to get to the bottom of all of these rumors: I consider them all as "accurate" as the unfounded rumors that the show would move to NBC! I asked Ron's wife in the messageboard but she has yet to return for a day or two and I'm iffy on whether or not she'd answer questions like this: I prefeced it by saying that I wasn't just a fan, but reporting it on BattleStarWiki and would spread corrections to other news sites, etc. (roving reporter) so I didn't just sound like one man that wanted to know. I hope that helped. But seriously, all of this isn't adding up. --->if you follow the link to that supposed early draft page, half of it has cross out marks on it. And usually most of an episode is heavily revised. IF this is even real! --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 22:59, 12 April 2006 (CDT)

The cross-out marks are for the parts that the oracle character isn't in, since it's a casting side for that particular role. --Peter Farago 23:04, 12 April 2006 (CDT)

Gotcha. My other complaints stand. --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 23:26, 12 April 2006 (CDT)

Kuralyov, if you can't provide an exact source, this needs to be deleted. --Peter Farago 20:20, 14 April 2006 (CDT)

That's kind of what I meant, yeah Peter. --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 20:28, 14 April 2006 (CDT)

Well, I wanted to give him a chance to get back to us about it. Do we even have a source for the title? If not, we should just delete the page outright. --Peter Farago 20:29, 14 April 2006 (CDT)

Yes, but meanwhile, we have to have SOMETHING for "Occupation" even though I think it's not true, because Gateworld and such already reported it, but just to keep warnings in saying that we don't know how true it is. We've all seen wrong rumors before, haven't we? Last time I trusted one of these things, I thought that Cally would kill Crashdown in "Fragged"! After that I realized how unreliable these "early reports" are. --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 20:32, 14 April 2006 (CDT)

We're not talking about Occupation here, and the source of those rumors (the casting side) is a settled matter anyway. Gateworld is no longer cited. The question is, do we have a source for "Precipice"? Even gateworld would be sufficient here, just something better than Kuralyov's word and a link to a talk radio station. --Peter Farago 20:36, 14 April 2006 (CDT)

Yes. To be honest, when I followed the link I couldn't even find the interview, but this may be due to my own lack of techno savvy :) --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 20:39, 14 April 2006 (CDT)

I must be having trouble communicating today - No, I couldn't find it either, which is why I've brought this up. If Kuralyov can identify the particular interview in question, then we can cite it directly and keep the content he added here. --Peter Farago 20:43, 14 April 2006 (CDT)

Found it. Transcribing. --Peter Farago 20:50, 14 April 2006 (CDT)

LV Rocks Transcript

will continue later this evening

Shaun O'Mac: "What's your big battlestar galactica news?"

Koenigrules: Allright, well. Gateworld.com some of the plot synopsis to episode one which is called "Occupation". However, I've got some interesting tidbits. It is true that Lucy Lawless, Number Three, will be in the first one. And brother Cavil, Dean Stockwell, is coming back—

SO: Uh-oh.

KR: —as well, in the first one. And guess who he is frackin'?

SO: Uh-oh!

KR: He is frackin'... Ellen Tigh.

SO: [Laughs] You're kidding me! [Laughs]

KR: No, no I'm not.

SO: He— so, Dean Stockwell is with Ellen Tigh. Allright.

KR: Yeah. [laughs]

SO: And what— where's the colonel?

KR: Uh, he is in a Cylon detention facility.

SO: What the hell? You're kidding. Why is he being detained?

KR: I don't know the specifics, except they're torturing him.

SO: Oh no.

KR: and his eye is gouged out.

SO: Uh-oh. Uh-oh. What? So they gouged out his eye? And so what is it, what is it, just hanging from his face, in the epi— or what? Or is— it's gone completely, huh?

KR: All I know is he's not— he's not the same person anymore.

SO: Wowww. Really.

KR: So maybe he'll wear an eyepatch, that oughta be cool, huh?

SO: Yeah, like a pirate. Arrrgh. Arrrgh.

KR: Yeah, there you go. Really dark and gritty, huh?

SO: Oh, poor Colonel. He was so nice in the season finale there, with the— with the Starbuck and all that, and now he gets—

KR: —and maybe he'll have a beard, maybe a hook.

SO: Aw. Awww.

KR: Wooden leg?

SO: He'd be Captain Hook.

KR: A cylon parrot?

SO: [laughs] [untingelligable] they'll go that far with that character. Well I mean, ah well, y'know, what else do you have? Is— He's not gonna die, is he?

KR: He isn't, but—

SO: —Uh-oh—

KR: Around episode four, yes, Ellen Tigh is going to die.

SO: Oh, no! She's leavin'. Oh, man.

KR: Man. Well, you heard it hear first, right?

SO: Well, yeah. Well...

KR: In fact, there's going to be a couple significant deaths—

SO: —Uh-oh—

KR: —in these first couple episodes, but uh—

SO: —wow—

KR: —the one that I heard definitely confirmed is Ellen Tigh.

SO: Woah, really. A couple of significant deaths? Really. Wonder who that could be. I mean they've—

KR: I don't know.

SO: —they've killed off pretty much everybody else that we seem to care about on this show.

KR: I think that they're going to be creating a leaner and meaner Galactica, probably so that they can do more special effects—

SO: —ah, I see—

KR: —so they might not have as many of the incidental characters as they've had in the previous seasons.

SO: Really.

KR: That's my guess, because some of the cool effects really showed up in the last episodes in the end. My guess is they're going to be creating some really nice special effects in season three. Make it more, y'know, the type of Sci-Fi that we've come to expect from Galactica.

LV: Well, that'd be good, it'd be good if they could take a look at Dr. Who—

KR: —yeah—

LV: And see what they're doing—

KR: Yeah, well, I think they could do that too, because with Dr. Who
