Picture

Where is it from? Are there more? -- Noneofyourbusiness 20:20, 15 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thanks! I wonder why there are none for Sine Qua Non so far. -- Noneofyourbusiness 23:14, 15 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
Can anyone identify the gun Cavil is holding there? OTW 14:55, 29 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
Looks like a Walther PPK actually...the shape of it is a dead giveaway. -- Fordsierra4x4 09:55, 7 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
Maybe we should change the picture; unless I missed it (which seems unlikely, as I pay extra attention when Cavil's on screen), that scene didn't make the final cut of the episode. Something from the episode would be nice: the Hub, D'Anna, maybe even Elosha. Alpha5099 02:28, 8 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

The The

The SciFi website omits the preceeding "The" from the episode title. Just bringing it up because I'm of a lower class with no ability to move pages and the such. --Mars 11:47, 20 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

"The Hub" was confirmed by Bradley Thompson, so I guess it's the correct title. --Catrope(Talk to me or e-mail me) 15:08, 20 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
NBC Universal's Media Village says "Hub", too, and they were right with the one-L "Traveled", too. "Hub" would be a painfully dull title, though. --Pedda 16:35, 20 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
How did these two sites report "The Road Less Traveled"? With our without the "the"? In this case, it's obviously a Biblical quote and the "The" is clearly supposed to be there. And yeah, no one in their right mind would call an episode "Hub". --Catrope(Talk to me or e-mail me) 18:10, 20 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
no one in their right mind would call an episode "Hub". – Eh... why not? –Sasoriza 03:48, 31 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

The episode is titled "The Hub"... we knew this months ago, thanks to our own source. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus 03:48, 8 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Teaser

I'm sure anyone who's seen this knows by now, but just in case... In the teaser from "Sine Qua Non", D'anna says something like "You didn't know you were one of the final five", then (spoiler; highlight)

Spoiler follows, highlight to read.
Laura Roslin is shown.

I avoid spoiler blogs & the like, so I don't know: Intentional, or too obvious? –Sasoriza 04:04, 31 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

That could easily be some clever editing. As we saw in Sine Qua Non, the conversation between Tigh and Adama was much longer before Tigh hit Adama, but the preview made it look like Tigh hits him right after Adama asks him what he was thinking re: C-Six. There are no guarantees that those two share a scene in the episode, but we'll just have to wait and see. --Kevin W.So say we all 18:00, 31 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
Yeah. Drawing anything from this is completely ridiculous. Promos are often very misleading. Sometimes deliberately, but often there just isn't the time to convey any real meaning. -- Serenity 18:06, 31 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
IMO she's probably talking to Anders. -- Gordon Ecker 03:47, 2 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
I don't think Anders is there. I think she's messing with Roslin. We know they share scenes. -- Noneofyourbusiness 04:15, 2 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
Anders ain't anywhere, it seems... Odd. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus 03:27, 8 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Callum Keith Rennie is in the episode

He appears right at the beginning, when everyone is still kind of hanging around the hybrid.

You're right. He doesn't have any lines though. Also, I'm pretty sure that's the same footage from the episode where they first jump away. I guess they couldn't get him for the episode, but he got credit for standing around he'd done already. I don't have the earlier episode on me right now. Can anyone confirm that is the same scene (and not a reshoot), and then we can update the details about CKR's absence. Alpha5099 02:28, 8 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
The scenes are from "Guess What's Coming For Dinner?"... there's nothing new there. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus 03:29, 8 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Rebuilding the hub?

> Why do the Cylons have only one Resurrection Hub and the implied inability to build another? > Are the Cylons capable of building a new Hub, and if so, how long it would it take them?

My personal theory is - they can have more than one, and they can rebuild it, but it takes considerable time and resources, too much to have another one ready before the end of the war.

On the other hand - maybe it is possible to modify / reconfigure Res Ships to not require the Hub to coordinate them?

Airlocked?

How come this page wasn't kept airlocked until the British release date, but Sine Qua Non was kept airlocked until the American and Canadian release date? I thought the entire point was to keep the page locked down until the episode had been fully released. Doesn't this portray double standards? Otterstat 10:07, 8 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

The episode was first released on Friday in America, not on Tuesday. (SciFi told SkyOne to not release the episode early... long story.) The point of locking down the pages is to prevent multiple people from bum-rushing the episode page after it had aired with edits, which degrades the performance of the wiki's server. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus 13:59, 8 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
Aye I know, and the British release date has been pushed back to Tuesday, so the roles are exactly reversed - what I'm saying is that last week the page was locked until the episode had aired in America, but this week it was unlocked straight after it was aired in America despite not having been aired in Britain yet. I thought another reason it was airlocked until the episode had aired in both areas was: "Locking articles give everyone a chance to watch the episode before a wiki visit could spoil that." I'm just a bit confused as to why it's been un-locked prior to the episode being aired in Britain, is all. Edit: To follow on from this, does this mean it is okay in the future for me to un-airlock a page if it has been aired in Britain first but not America and Canada? Because that's basically what happened here... Otterstat 14:07, 8 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
Let me put it to you this way, just over half of our audience is American. The other half is oversees, with less than a quarter of that half being from the UK. We actually get a lot more traffic from Canada and Germany than we do the UK...
Further, we always airlocked the pages for the American airings, because that's when the Wiki is hardest hit... after US airings. Not UK airings. And, actually, "Sine Qua Non" proved that, because the traffic was more evenly distributed between the two air dates for that episode. You can see some of this statistical data for yourself here. Also, to answer your question, you don't have the permissions needed to lock our unlock pages; that's an ability only the chiefs have. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus 22:24, 9 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

psych!

Can we get Three's joke at Laura's expense in the Notable Dialogue section? I can't remember it word by word myself. OTW 21:25, 8 June 2008 (UTC)`Reply

There we go. What an amazing moment. If there's any problems with how I formatted it, feel free to tweak it. Alpha5099 23:49, 8 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Deleted scene or misplaced promo image?

I don't remember seeing Cavil holding a gun or wearing a hat, and we have had production number related misunderstandings before. Do we know that this image is from The Hub (episode 9, production number 411) and not Sometimes a Great Notion (episode 11, production number 413)? -- Gordon Ecker 03:22, 9 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

It's not a mistake. This is not the first time that promo images from (later) deleted scenes were released. For example "Torn" had one or two with Doral, Boomer, Six and Hera in a church, and "A Measure of Salvation" had a scene with Thrace interrogating Leoben. They are on the DVDs and summarized here. We should chose a different picture, but the other promo pics for the episode aren't really any good. -- Serenity 12:42, 9 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
I can grab something from the HD version... Any ideas? -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus 15:48, 9 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
