Template talk:Dead Characters

Dead Cylons

Comprehensive list of Cylon copies who have died outside of Resurrection Ship Range:

• Entire crew of two basestars, resurrection ship and support ships in the Battle of the Resurrection Ship
• Scar (Raider) (Destroyed in "Scar")
• All Cylon casulaties in the Battle of the Binary Star System
• Number One (Galactica Copy) (Airlocked in "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II"
• Number One (Caprica Copy) (Airlocked in "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II"
• Gina (Suicide in "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II")
• Entire crew of the basestar crippled by lymphocytic encephalitis in "Torn" (Resurrection Ship is ordered to jump out of range)
  • Including the five prisoners (a Two, Four, Five, Six and Eight) killed by Helo in "A Measure of Salvation" (Asphyxiated outside of resurrection ship range)
• Many Twos, Sixes and Eights in the opening shots of the Cylon Civil War in "The Ties That Bind". Many basestars are even completely destroyed in this battle (Faith), presumably killing all aboard.
• An otherwise unidentified Six previously drowned by Jean Barolay in "Faith"
• An unidentified Eight in "Faith" (shot by a Centurion)

Problematic cases:

• Number Three (Fleet Copy), a.k.a. "D'Anna Biers". Did Sam Anders expose her upon joining the fleet in "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II"? Or did she manage to lay low until the start of the Cylon occupation?
• Crew of the Guardian basestar and the First Hybrid during the Battle of the Guardian basestar in "Razor" (did this faction have its own resurrection ship? Were its models capable of downloading at all?)

Well, my understanding of this template is that we chronicle important deaths of recurring or major characters... Otherwise, I see this template getting whacked and out of control real quickly. So, Gina definitely counts, given her recurring character status; the other various copies don't.-- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 21:48, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Sure, just trying to make sure nothing slipped through the cracks. --Peter Farago 21:49, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Did some minor tweaks here and there. I know it's not good practice on talk pages, but it's more practical in this case. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 21:54, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Don't sweat it. --Peter Farago 22:03, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Shaw and Belzen

How about adding Kendra Shaw and Jurgen Belzen? While not recurring, their deaths were important to the plot. Ausir 10:44, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes to Kendra. No to Jurgen IMO. OTW 11:48, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Kendra is not that important. Like Alastair Throne, she was important in one episode, if you look at the large scheme of things. Plus, if you're going to go that route, you may as well throw in Maya, who had multiple appearances and was the caretaker for Hera. So... only really major or recurring characters should really belong in this template. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 12:45, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
