== 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. -- [[User:123home123|123home123]] 19:23, 9 November 2006 (CST)

== Sykes ==
There's a character in Rapture, named Sykes. I am pretty much absolutely certain he is played by Tygh Runyan (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0750353/). I had two questions. First, I just wanted confirmation on the name of the character and the actor. I've asked others, they agree with me it's the same guy. The other question is, is there more to Sykes? Tygh Runyan is a somewhat well known actor. He's appeared in several TV shows, and had a fairly prominent role in Snakes on a Plane. It seems odd that he'd be cast as just an extra. Did he have lines that were cut? Will he be appearing more? Thank you. [[User:Alpha5099|Alpha5099]] 23:00, 25 January 2007 (CST)

==Cavil, Leoben, Simon model numbers==
Is there a reason why we haven't got the model numbers yet for these three [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]]? Is it a story reason or is this something trivial that the writers have just never gotten around to revealing? I noticed a few websites refer to [[Cavil]] as Number Two based on closed captioning...is that an error?
--[[User:Meteor|Meteor]] 9:09 05 February 2007 (EST).
:Closed captioning did call Cavil "Number Two", but Bradley Thompson [[BW:OC#Cavil.27s_number|stated elsewhere on this page]] that that's not canonical information, although he doesn't directly deny that Cavil is Number Two. I still wonder why we haven't got their numbers yet, though. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]] 08:46, 5 February 2007 (CST)
::Yeah, it's been nagging at me lately. Unless model numbers '''do''' have some significance, there's no reason we shouldn't know the numbers. --[[User:BklynBruzer|BklynBruzer]] 09:00, 5 February 2007 (CST)
:::I'd like to point out that Cavil is called Number Two by the closed captioning of some televisions but not others. My captions don't say anything of the sort in the scene in question and some other people on message boards have confirmed that their captions don't either. As for why the model numbers aren't being revealed, my guess is that the writers don't actually care about them and haven't assigned them. -- [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 12:32, 12 February 2007 (CST)

Question on a recurring extra[edit]

In early Season One, there was a large Asian pilot with tattoos that appeared at a card game. As far as I remember, he disappeared after that. Then he reappeared during the partying scenes in Scar. And now he's back in a major way in Season Three, appearing in most scenes involving lots of pilots. Personally, I'm a huge fan of the man, and was wondering if there's any actual information on him. Does he have a name? And will he ever get a line? Thanks for your time. Alpha5099 13:51, 6 December 2006 (CST)

Good question. Lots of pictures can be found in this Galactica BS thread.--Pedda 18:02, 6 December 2006 (CST)
I created an article about him: Tattooed pilot. When (if) Brad gives us his actual name, we can move it.Ausir 06:09, 22 December 2006 (CST)
He's getting the reputation of being BSG's counterpart to Morn from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. :) --Spencerian 09:38, 5 January 2007 (CST)
Now we know the name of the extra: Leo Li Chiang. Ausir 20:17, 15 January 2007 (CST)

Boxed Cylon Storage Room[edit]

Hello, Mr. Thompson

Cylon Homeworld?

At the end of "Rapture" we see Cavils boxing Threes inside a large chamber, where they presumably leave the bodies after they're done boxing them. I am wondering, where is this room? Is it aboard each Resurrection Ship or is it in the Cylon Home World?

Originally, I thought it was in the Resurrection Ship, but the ship itself isn't that big, and it would make sense for the Cylons to pack up all the bodies and send them back to the homeworld, keeping the Three's in a buffer until they download them over there and box them. So now I'm wondering, is it in the Homeworld?

Thank you for your time --Sauron18 23:02, 13 February 2007 (CST)

This scene took place aboard the local resurrection ship. No doubt similar scenes happened wherever there were D'Anna's to box. - Ngarenn 21:07, 1 March 2007 (CST)
Thank You! --Sauron18 07:07, 2 March 2007 (CST)

Spelling of Ferdok root[edit]

The Saggitarons use this root as a calmative for the sick but how is it spelt? --Mercifull (Talk/Contribs) 03:37, 14 February 2007 (CST)

Mr. Angeli's script has it spelled "burdock root" - Ngarenn 21:09, 1 March 2007 (CST)
Thankyou for the clarification. Moved to burdock root. --Mercifull (Talk/Contribs) 03:07, 2 March 2007 (CST)

Chief Tyrol & his 'Knuckledragger Crew', Will we see more?[edit]

The Dirty Hands episode was fantastic as it gave us a glimpse into the heart and soul of the crew/workers that have dedicated their lives to securing a future for all the survivors in the fleet. It was interesting to see an episode introducing some of the new faces involved in the 'Dirty Work'. It was very well written and acted and a pleasure to watch. Can we look forward to seeing more of Chief Tyrol and his main crew of 'Knuckledraggers' - Figurski, Pollux and Redford?

--Chillishake 14:08, 27 February 2007 (CST)

I'll pass your compliments to Jane and Anne. We've been wanting to see life in the fleet for a long time and we finally got to do it. We'll certainly see more of Tyrol and Figurski. I seem to remember Ep 16 introducing SP2 Sarah Ryan to the hangar deck (christened at the last minute and I'm not sure her name will reach the screen as I've given it here). How much? Depends upon the order for Season 4, which has been given a "go" but the number of episodes has yet to be determined. - Ngarenn 21:15, 1 March 2007 (CST)
SP2 = Specialist 2nd class? Could you tell us what the rank structure for the enlisted crew is? According to some, admittedly, old blog entry by RDM it goes somewhat different and we pieced it together here. And what is Figurski's rank/rating?
I expected to focus "Dirty Hands" to focus more on the deckhands, but it was great to get a look at a civilian ship too. And the guy with the prosthetic arm was a nice touch. --Serenity 05:46, 2 March 2007 (CST)
