Timeline (RDM)

This page is silly. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

You have found a link that leads nowhere... deliberately.

Reasons?

The reason for this is to clean up the Special:Wantedpages, thus making our lives easier behind the scenes.

So, what links lead here?

There are too many to bother wasting our time listing. So here's a list of pages that link here. Dates use the day of the Cylon Holocaust as a baseline. See also Survivor Count, Original Series Timeline.

Note: Roslin states that the chair will remain open for nominations for 72 hours on the morning of Day 47, but the next episode clearly takes place the day after the victory party, and is stated to take place on Day 50. Perhaps the Quorum moved to close the nomination period early after the nomination of a strong candidate.

Notes

• The above day listings use a simplistic calender system with 30 day months and no leap years. The colonial calendar may be more sophisticated.
• The date of Valerii and Agathon's child is speculated, assuming that the Humano-Cylons share the same gestation period that humans do, and that the birth of their hybrid daughter is not premature.
