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

Transcription moved to Sources:Precipice. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 12:30, 15 April 2006 (CDT)

Question about Koenigrules

I know that he is a big name on Galacticastation.com, and a regular contributor at Subject2Discussion since its inception, but just exactly how "sourced" is this source? How does Koenigrules know this stuff? Is it possible...that he simply read the same stuff we did? What are HIS qualifications? Great work transcribing Peter. --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)}

Having transcribed this, it's obvious that he knows absolutely nothing more than what we do from having skimmed the casting side and made a few logical predictions. The only new piece of information we have here is the title for the episode, so at least we have someone to cite; but I'm not at all satisfied with this as a source. Nothing else here was original information, so I'd like to find out the originator for the title. FYI to Kuralyov: I'm not going to do this again, so do your homework next time you post spoilers: quotes and citations. --Peter Farago 02:29, 15 April 2006 (CDT)

I had thought as much. --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 13:05, 15 April 2006 (CDT)

Another bit of original information was that Ellen Tigh will die in the first couple of episodes. You can't really infer that from the casting side. --Noneofyourbusiness 10:28, 15 April 2006 (EST)
