Would this be the place to include any mentions of the Colonial radio alphabet? So far all I know we've heard are C - Constellation and N- Nebula. Obviously they can't use some of the same things we use in our International Radio Alphabet. I mean--They don't have October or whichever one it is that's a month. --[[User:Day|Day]] 21:58, 1 September 2005 (EDT) | Would this be the place to include any mentions of the Colonial radio alphabet?

No, listen. None of these characters are actually speaking English. The whole thing is a conceit to make it intelligable to the viewer. I'm sure that in the fictional universe of BSG, Boomer does speak with a "trace of an Aerelon accent", but since the show chooses to represent this as Standard American English, there's little point speculating about phonological variations that we can't hear. It's not a matter of Baltar being able to hear something we can't, the showmakers have just chosen not to give us the information. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 01:38, 10 September 2005 (EDT) | No, listen.

Is it just me or does Racetrack have a vaguely Canadian accent in her scene on the Raptor early in [[Final Cut]]? --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 02:10, 10 September 2005 (EDT) | |||

Radio Alphabet[edit]
Would this be the place to include any mentions of the Colonial radio alphabet? So far all I know we've heard are C - Constellation and N- Nebula. Obviously they can't use some of the same things we use in our International Radio Alphabet. I mean--They don't have October or whichever one it is that's a month. --Day 21:58, 1 September 2005 (EDT)
Aerelon Accent[edit]
- (It is probably some subtle nuance that a Colonial character like Baltar could notice, but that is indistinguishable from an American accent to the audience).
