Who's the Mop Guy?

Hi there. We have a humorous article dedicated to our administrators: Mop Boy. We have a screencap of a Galactica crewman who is mopping the floor in the documentary of "Final Cut" (which, metaphorically, is what admins do). Did that character have a name? If not, can you give him an unofficial one? "The Unknown Mopper" is the administrator's patron saint. :) --Spencerian 18:40, 8 October 2006 (CDT)

I'll ask Mark to give him a name when I get back to LA - Ngarenn 22:56, 19 October 2006 (CDT)

New episode names

Hello Mr. Thompson, we have a couple more "working titles" if you'd care to confirm them as such: Episode 15/16 - Dirty Hands, Episode 16/17 - Maelstrom. --Straycat0 22:41, 19 October 2006 (CDT)

So far, "Dirty Hands" is the title of Episode 15. - Ngarenn 22:46, 19 October 2006 (CDT)

BTW, "Download City" is Seelix's slang for wherever Cylons go to get resurrected. - Ngarenn 22:51, 19 October 2006 (CDT)

Darn. Oh well.. i liked the idea of a city. lol. --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 23:14, 19 October 2006 (CDT)

And one "working title" more: Episode 17/18 - The Son Also Rises. Is that correct, Mr. Thompson? -- Spike 16:10, 3 November 2006 (EST)

Guest stars in Exodus, Part 2

I was curious about the names of some actors in the episode that weren't credited:

--The Viper pilot with the call sign of Red Wing. Hot Dog talks to him over the wireless as they launch off Galactica over New Caprica.

--The baby who portrayed Hera/Isis.

Any information would be much appreciated. Thanks. -- 123home123 01:41, 27 October 2006 (CDT)

Chadwick in "Collaborators"

We only saw the character Chadwick in a photo as the Circle debated her fate near the halfway point of the "Collaborators" episode. I was wondering who the actor is. Is the person an actor or is it a friend or relative of one of the production staff? I find these little tidbits interesting. Thanks for any answers on this. -- 123home123 23:31, 30 October 2006 (CST)

Final episode titles

Mr. Thompson could you please confirm these episode titles:

3.16 - Maelstrom
3.17 - The Son Also Rises
3.18 - Crossroads, Part I
3.19 - Crossroads, Part II

And I suppose that episode 19 is season finale, right?

Thank you for your time. -- Deus 18:04, 8 November 2006 (CST)

Kacey's real name

I've noticed that the actor who plays Kacey has been spelled two different ways in the end credits: Madeline Parker and Madeleine Parker (with an extra "e"). Assuming that these aren't twins, which spelling is correct? Thanks.

I'm also assuming that the director's name was misspelled for Torn. Jean de Segonzac has directed many shows and movies while there is no information on a Jean de Segoznac as the director's name was spelled in the onscreen credits. -- 123home123 19:23, 9 November 2006 (CST)

New Baseship Design

Hello, I was wondering (and I'm sure many more too) about why the external design of the Baseship was changed to what we started seeing in Collaborators and have seen since?

Don't get me wrong, I like it a lot more, it's sharper, more menacing, and a lot more mechanical, but I was wondering if there was a reason for which the design was changed, and whether it meant that this was a new class of Baseship (since it also appears to be a bit smaller than the older ones). --Sauron18 23:36, 12 November 2006 (CST)

Battlestar Valkyrie

Dear Mr. Thompson,

There is a slight confusion over the design of the Battlestar Valkyrie, which is clearly different from the Galactica and the Pegasus. Is it is different style of Battlestar, or just a refitted type? --Volostheguardian 10:04, 18 November 2006 (CST)
