Talk:Cylons (TOS)/rewrite

Article Organization

Should we have a separate page for each of the "models", or just aggregate all the information here? There's not much that can be said about Command Centurions, as we only see them a few times (Ice Planet Zero, Living Legend (on Gamoray), and Hand of God are all that I can recall). I can't find too much on the IL-series (Lucifer appears pretty often, Specter in Young Lords, and a handful of no-names on Gamoray during Living Legend). Supposedly the IL represents Industrial Light & Magic, though I can't find a canonical source to back that. There's screenshot material of "civilian" Cylons on Gamoray, but there's not that much that can be said about them. I'm leaning towards separate articles, but maybe trimming some of the content about the models from this page (and moving it down to the child articles) so that this article doesn't steal their thunder. --Steelviper 09:43, 14 February 2006 (EST)

If you can find a way to do it the way you want it to be done, that'd be fine. -- Joe Beaudoin 10:02, 14 February 2006 (EST)

I thought IL just stood for Imperious Leader? --Peter Farago 10:55, 14 February 2006 (EST)

That's the common assumption.

"The phrase is a play on words for John Dykstra's Industrial Light and Magic, which provided special effects for Galactica's initial episodes."(http://www.kobol.com/archives/BG-FAQ.html here) (http://www.geocities.com/sjpaxton/newpage12.html#il or here)

Like I said, not canonical, but definitely a different twist. --Steelviper 11:06, 14 February 2006 (EST)
