This reminds me, I remember RDM saying on the post-Daybreak RDM response thread on the Syfy (then Scifi) forum that the bit about the Thirteenth Tribe seeing their twelve brothers in the sky was an example of mistranslated scripture actually referring to the colonists seeing the twelve signs in the sky on our Earth in the future. My memory of it is a bit vague and I wouldn't know which page it's on. -- [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 04:09, 2 March 2010 (UTC) | |||
Revision as of 04:09, 2 March 2010
This page looks great. Congrats to the updaters. Spencerian 15:55, 28 August 2005 (EDT)
The Tomb of Athena's hologram no longer makes any sense[edit]
The events of the finale have invalidated the information within the Tomb shown in "Home, Part II. The Tomb clearly shows modern constellations as viewed from our Earth, but the Lords of Kobol wouldn't have known about it, the Thirteenth Tribe went to a different Earth, and God led the Fleet to our Earth 150,000 years ago (so the constellations wouldn't have looked like that due to stellar drift). Kevin Grazier, BSG science advisor, considered the Tomb problem one of his biggest regrets from working on the show (full interview here, emphasis added):
- Is there anything you wish you could change?
- Grazier: There’s two. There’s one that I recognized too late. That was when the explosion in Water blew out the side of the [Galactica] and we have a big venting of water. [Galactica] was connected to the Virgon Express. That would have imparted a pretty healthy delta v [change in velocity], meaning it would have yanked the Virgon Express with [the Galactica] and probably broken the water lines. I didn’t think of that until too late, and I called and said “hang on!” and they said “that ship’s sailed, sorry.” That was the second episode and I was a baby science advisor then. The other one is I wish I would have been more insistent with the constellations in Home Part II. Because when you start thinking about those constellations, who put them there? Wasn’t the Kobolians. Those aren’t seen from the original Earth, so where did those constellations come from?
- Those constellations were a big part of why was I sure the show had to be set in the future!
- Grazier: Right. I wish I had been more insistent on “we really need to rethink this.”
Obviously, this was a writing error (the finale hadn't been thought up yet when this episode was penned), but it still sticks out like a sore thumb.
Anyway...can I add this information to the "Notes" section? -- Liquidcross 01:02, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
