Episode 2

There is no proof the McGavin died at the end. All we see is medics working on her.--Quig 10:44, 13 October 2007 (CDT)

To me it looks like the bodies on the stretchers are covered completely with blankets. --Serenity 10:53, 13 October 2007 (CDT)

the far body is covered. the one in the forground isn't. you can catch a slight glimpse of her face.--Quig 11:11, 13 October 2007 (CDT)

I'll have to watch it again myself to be sure, but it was apparent to me at least that she probably was a goner. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 12:23, 13 October 2007 (CDT)

The quality of the AVIs I have suck, so I'm not sure. Also, is it just me or are the uniforms somewhat inspired by the Original Series? Particularly some of the ones in the background? -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 15:06, 13 October 2007 (CDT)

Yeah it's a bit ambiguous. Bodies are carried away and one crewmember goes to one of the stretchers as if that person still lives. On the other hand, it looks like Gavin dies and Adama's reaction seems to reinforce that. Maybe it'll be cleared up the in the next episodes.

I only really noticed that the flight suits look a bit different with an additional layer. --Serenity 15:13, 13 October 2007 (CDT)

That vest worn on the flightsuits definately reminds me of the old uniforms. I thought I saw one of the personnel in the back with the stretchers moving out was carrying an IV hooked into her, so she might not be. --Talos 17:19, 13 October 2007 (CDT)

Episode 3

Anyone appreciate the many homages to the Original Series? One you might not have caught: Look at the Viper pilot helmets. It's the little things that stood out. Like watching TOS, only better. --Spencerian 14:04, 20 October 2007 (CDT)

The music was TOS-like too. It was alright, but I don't like the TOS Cylon Raiders in this context. They even have windows. It makes no sense whatsoever for a machine to control another machine like that. If the Cylons have the resources to build their own stuff like the basestars (which should be explained at some point btw), they can also build ships that fly themselves. I'm not even looking forward to see the TOS Centurions if they don't update their movement. All in all, small things like the uniforms are nice, but taking too much from TOS is a bad idea. --Serenity 14:22, 20 October 2007 (CDT)

Actually, it wouldn't be surprising if the Colonials created basestars and Raiders, since we know they did war with one another before the Cylons came along and unified them. So, in light of that, if humans had created the Radiers then having windows on the craft make sense. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 15:17, 20 October 2007 (CDT)

I loved how they included the two vipers , one coming down from behind to join to the other one after destroying a cyclon ship, they used this one all the time in TOS. --Eddyed 16:11, 20 October 2007 (CDT)

Columbia armor

Anybody notice the extra armor on the bow of the Columbia (I think it's her)? It seems that Columbia either got a refit or was part of a subclass that featured heavier armor. --Kregano 17:46, 20 October 2007 (CDT)

Does anyone else think that the Galactica was originally built fully armorplated and parts were blown off in battle or removed after the war. --Spartan-117

The ribbing is actually a defensive measure, so that it can better take strikes against the hull. The visible ribbing design is deliberate. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 20:20, 20 October 2007 (CDT)

Interesting, particularly since the later battlestar types (Valkyrie type and Mercury class) don't have that feature. Do you have a source? --Peter Farago 01:29, 21 October 2007 (CDT)

There are a few discussions with the original CG designers that indicated this. I'll see if I can find them. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 01:39, 21 October 2007 (CDT)

I think what your talking about can be found Battlestar_Wiki:Official_Communiques/Archive3--Quig 06:20, 21 October 2007 (CDT)

Columbia isn't fully armored either. She has more armor than Galactica in a few places, but visible ribbing as well. That really indicates that is like that on purpose. --Serenity 05:57, 21 October 2007 (CDT)

In that case, why wasn't Galactica later refitted? Her historical status or some other reason? --Kregano 17:02, 21 October 2007 (CDT)
