Talk:The Ties That Bind/Archive 1

Is this title a hint to everyone's favourite alcoholic colonel? OTW 19:23, 21 June 2007 (CDT)

That would be "The Tighs That Bind". hehe. Like "Tigh me up, Tigh me down". That was a nice play on words. --Serenity 01:22, 22 June 2007 (CDT)

SG1 thing?

Is the SG-1 thing really necessary? After all, I'm sure that here are tons of television shows that have similar names -- for instance, I'm sure that there are shows that have episodes named "Faith". To be honest, I find nothing significant in that note. Thoughts? -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 13:22, 13 October 2007 (CDT)

Agreed. Usually it's simple title that get reused often, but since this is a fixed expression it's not so surprising. --Serenity 13:25, 13 October 2007 (CDT)

Didn't know "The Ties That Bind" was like a common expression (one of the downsides of being a near-native, but still non-native, English speaker), I was under the impression it was simply a Biblical quote. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 13:49, 13 October 2007 (CDT)

The origin is of course that bible quote, but if you google it, you'll also find a Bruce Springsteen song and many news articles that use it. For example "The ties that bind China, Russia and Iran" or "Sony Cuts the Ties That Bind Walkman" or "Technologies to untie the ties that bind". And for TV, an episode of "The OC" shares that name too, so Stargate shouldn't be singled out. We already pay way too much attention to it with cast notes. --Serenity 13:55, 13 October 2007 (CDT)

Right. I just didn't know TTTB was a common expression. Removing. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 13:59, 13 October 2007 (CDT)

Image

May I suggest taking some image that is a) smaller b) oriented horizontally, not vertically? Current image breaks s.4 episode guide and is a bit too big. -- Spike 17:56, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

It's already scaled down and it might not be so obvious once that page is filled with content. The only other interesting image would be this (I can get a high-res version). Or we could crop the current one at her waist. -- Serenity 18:01, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

My vote goes to this, right. -- Spike 18:41, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

It depends, because Cally... ahem. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 19:15, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Then crop it at least if it must be Cally. -- Spike 20:25, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

I say this one How many do have Cheif and Tory? We have lots with Roslin and crew. :) Shane (talk) 03:23, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, it's not like there is a shortage of things about the Final Five, either on screen or online, so I chose pictures that are about something else. -- Serenity 15:49, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Mixing it up is good. I been thinking about making them all random {{#random:image1.jpg,etc}} Shane (talk) 15:56, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Orion

At about 28 minutes, when the other baseships jump in, the constellation of Orion is clearly visible in the background. Worth mentioning on the entry?--Werthead 10:57, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
