Cybernetic Living Organism
Hello, Mr. Thompson, we wanted to ask you a question regarding the meaning of the word "Cylon".
When we began getting reports and such about the proposed spin-off "Caprica", amongst them was the news that we would learn what the word "Cylon" meant by the end of the pilot. Amongst this information we got a partial name, and then later on more was revealed: "Cybernetic Living Organism". However, we do not know if it is truly the one you, the writers, intend to use, or if it was just a rumor. Is "Cybernetic Living Organism" the canonical origin behind the word "Cylon", or was this just a rumor/old version?
Thank you for your time. --Sauron18 15:02, 6 July 2007 (CDT)
- The Battlestar Concordance from the original series doesn't document the etymology. Ron D. Moore's "Caprica," has a character coin the term, saying, "A cybernetic life-form node, a Cylon." But as "Caprica" has yet to go before cameras, there is yet no "official" version. - Ngarenn 13:39, 20 September 2007 (CDT)
Season 4 Episode Titles
Hello Mr. Thompson,
could you please confirm and maybe add (for us) unknown S4 episode titles, like you did with S3 episodes? So far we know about:
- 4.01 - He That Believeth In Me
- 4.02 - Six of One
- 4.03 - The Ties That Bind
- 4.04 - Escape Velocity
- 4.05 - Into the West
- 4.06 - Faith
- 4.08 - Sine Qua Non
- 4.10 - Revelations
That leaves 4.07 and 4.09 unknown. Thank you for an answer. --Deus 12:18, 17 November 2007 (CST)
- Additionally, can you confirm that these 10 episodes have been produced, that the 10th ("Revelations") is the mid-season cliffhanger and that the one after that is the episode Ronald Moore was supposed to direct? --Catrope(Talk to me or e-mail me) 12:45, 17 November 2007 (CST)
- If there's a title called "Into the West," it's news to me. The series has put thirteen episodes into the can -- that counts "Razor" as episodes #1 & 2 of the fourth order. Can't really call it all a fourth season, because SciFi could air it as two seasons or just one. The numbering we use in-house starts with 4.01 & 4.02 as "Razor." Season 4 Starts with Episode 3, "He That Believeth In Me." The titles you have are otherwise correct, though the Confidentiality Agreement in our contracts keeps me from filling in the gaps. This season's episodes contain so many spoilers that script distribution has been severely curtailed and diabolical measures have been enacted to catch and chastise leakers. Crucifixion, line on the left, one cross each. (Thank you Monty Python) Ngarenn 02:00, 30 November 2007 (CST)
