Talk:Battlestar Galactica 0/Archive 1

Yeah I saw this last week but I didn't know how to categorize this; I mean the comic's name is just "Battlestar Galactica"? NOTE: the writers of the comic talked with RDM. I don't think that makes it canonical, but it should be fairly in keeping with the theme of the series without getting outlandish, like other comic book versions of Trek and Wars.--The Merovingian ^{(C - E)}

Rofl the cover art looks great. Baltar looks totally kick ass! --Mercifull 04:12, 8 April 2006 (CDT)

I have to dig around to find the original interview, but I can assure you that Kuralyov's summary is correct, I read the same interview article and that's exactly what it said. --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 18:50, 14 April 2006 (CDT)

There's actually at least two covers. I have a second with Six on the cover, but same content.

I'm for creating a comic continuity for these, noting that the events are based on the RDM continuity but are of a different continuity. This prevents us from mixing what contradictions or "non-events" occur between the shows. Obviously if a major character of the past reappeared, our characters should have been gravely affected, but then, the TV continuity character may not. They have a place, but we need to make a distinction. --Spencerian 13:36, 3 June 2006 (CDT)

So does this mean we would need separate pages for Zak Adama and Timeline (RDM) to include comics continuity information? Would separate sections within the main page be enough? --Peter Farago 14:56, 3 June 2006 (CDT)

I think that making separate subsections in an article is a mistake, as is making a separate timeline. It's a comic book. STar trek has dozens and Memory Alpha does not include such info outside of the comic book article. We don't need to include them into our projects when their canonicity is dubious: we don't include info from the video game. --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)}

We don't include (much) information from the Video Game because few people have contributed anything. Our purpose is to be an encyclopedia for all things BSG. I don't think it's our place to make quality distinctions here - we could argue against documenting Galactica 1980 on the same grounds. I say that as long as it has an official license, it's fair game. --Peter Farago 20:13, 4 June 2006 (CDT)

Right. I'm just saying Galactica 1980 and RIC stuff don't get mixed. Current warning on top of this page seems adequate. --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 21:06, 4 June 2006 (CDT)

Looks like someone's used the episode template already. Good. I'm going to add the usual sections that would appear in an episode so we can add the fun chatter and commentary. --Spencerian 18:02, 4 June 2006 (CDT)

I received my copy today (just to have it). Inexplicably and unexpectly, the story really caught my interest. Can't wait for the next. --gougef 19:25, 9 June 2006 (CDT)

Got mine today too. Was expecting the inconsistencies with the actual franchise to be jarring, but I actually found it quite absorbing. The characterisation seemed very well observed and if the story weren't so contrived it'd actually fit right in as an episode. Plus it was only 20 pence. --Pearse 14:28, 16 June 2006 (CDT)

Canonicity

Merv, I think that you nailed it. --FrankieG 20:25, 27 June 2006 (CDT)
