Summary Split?[edit]
We've taken to splitting the episode summaries between the Fleet and Baltar. Am I alone in thinking this isn't the best method? I'd prefer the summary going through the events of the episode chronologically. Especially now that the two storylines are beginning to converge. It was fine in Collaborators, where the two threads didn't effect each other. But now, someone reading the summary encounters a mention of the dead basestar at the end of the Galactica summary before getting to any of the details in the Cylon summary. -- Alpha5099 00:00, 8 November 2006 (CST)
- Personally I think it's fine. It depends on how much interaction there is between the two story lines in the next episode. If they signicantly interact, then this summary may require change, but for now I think it's ok.--Cohnee 06:14, 8 November 2006 (CST)
- Actually, we've been describing each story line separately since "33". It really makes the story lines easier to keep track of for both the viewer and the editors. However, if there's a better way, I would be interested in a discussion of it. What method or methods would you suggest? -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate 08:18, 8 November 2006 (CST)
- I think it's a fine format in most cases. It certainly worked for Collaborators, and it worked well for the Helo arc of Season One. However, in those instances, the main plot and the sides-story didn't interact, so knowing how the Galactica side of the episode pans out before you read what happened to Helo, it isn't a problem. But here we have the Galactica storyline ending with something that was explained in the Cylon storyline. I guess I'm just concerned that some reading it without having seen the episode would be very confused. Something as simple as putting the Cylon half of the summary first I think would clear up any potential confusion, especially considering that nothing in the Galactica story effects the Cylon story. -- Alpha5099 11:56, 8 November 2006 (CST)
Promotional pictures[edit]
Look at these pictures:

Where do they come from? I don't remember such scene in "Torn"... -- Spike 01:51, 8 November 2006 (CST)
- P.s. All promo images are also on the wiki. As for those images, when I was uploading new promo images tonight, I noticed those, and I was like... "I never saw them.". if they show up in another episode, I will recategorize them in the media wiki. Shane (T - C - E) 01:53, 8 November 2006 (CST)
- They may have come from a deleted scene as well. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate 08:07, 8 November 2006 (CST)
- They might have been moved to the next episode "A Measure of Salvation" --Serenity 08:13, 8 November 2006 (CST)
- Can anyone identify the patch on Baltar's flight suit? It looks like it has a picture of an old style Raider on it. http://pics.livejournal.com/drewcypher/pic/000ksya5/g248 -- Alpha5099 11:59, 8 November 2006 (CST)
- That's the standard Raptor patch. That's the Raptor squadron that Sharon belongs to. We maybe ought to crop some of the patches off uniforms and have a patches and insignias section of the uniforms page. --Steelviper 12:06, 8 November 2006 (CST)

Questions?[edit]
I have no idea how to phrase it or if i remember correctly, but didn't Sharon (athena) start talking incoherently when they jump to the Lions Head? Is she infected? We don't see them jump back... Puneypunk 06:26, 8 November 2006 (CST)
- No. She wasn't infected. She was shocked at what she saw and quoted scripture. She said "When god's anger awakens, even the mighty shall fall" --Serenity 08:10, 8 November 2006 (CST)
Helo as XO[edit]
Surely if he was the XO, Adama would of promoted him to at least Major, if not Colonel, by now? I'm not disputing that Helo is acting as Adama's "eyes and ears" but I'm surpirsed that he is being described as XO.--Cohnee 06:39, 8 November 2006 (CST)
- Rank isn't everything. An officer can also "outrank" someone with a nominally higher rank just by position. Adama probably still plans for Tigh to return some day and has Helo as interim solution. --Serenity 08:09, 8 November 2006 (CST)
- It's quite possible that Helo hasn't been promoted because he hasn't met the minimum time-in-grade for a full Lieutenant yet. Kat's quick rise from Ensign to Lieutenant seems to contradict this, however. --Slander 11:06, 8 November 2006 (CST)
