Talk:William Adama/Archive 1

Just curious, but what's going on with the page? I thought it had more information than this... -- Joe Beaudoin 19:59, 5 May 2005 (EDT)

As it turns out, it did? Is this currently being revised? If so, that's great. -- Joe Beaudoin 20:01, 5 May 2005 (EDT)

Divorced?

Is there a source for his being divorced from Anne and a reason she is not mentioned in his "Marital Status" entry? --CalculatinAvatar 21:17, 28 December 2005 (EST)

I don't believe Adama was divorced from Anne at all, but in any case no episode data confirms that status. Note he wears a wedding ring in the miniseries. Also note his sadness on announcing Caprica City's nuking, suggesting other loved ones (maybe Anne) was a victim, too. The only information we can confirm thus far is that Adama married twice. --Spencerian 11:29, 17 January 2006 (EST)

OK, NOT the Adama I Expected to Get Kissed

Wow. Resurrection Ship, Part II took me a bit by surprise at the end there. Not Cain getting shot, but Adama's little kiss with Roslin. That was an interesting turn. Not sure what to make of it, other than I was getting all girly-swishy watching it all like a soap opera. That should make the next episode more harder to watch with Roslin...well, don't want to spoil it. And damn, I'm glad the wiki's back up. --Spencerian 23:32, 13 January 2006 (EST)

I was incredibly impressed with Olmos' acting just after the kiss. After she turned away and his face fell... I could very easily sense the utter depth of sorrow the Commander Admiral was feeling. I've seen that face a few times in real life regarding real life sickness and loss and, well, as I said, I was impressed. --Day 02:35, 14 January 2006 (EST)

Another good bit of Olmos' acting was in the last episode. I didn't notice it until after I listened to the podcast, but Olmos wipes away a tear as he turns around to hear Roslin say one more thing as he leaves Colonial One in the scene before the battle plan scene. He's a damn fine actor--they all are. --Spencerian 08:36, 14 January 2006 (EST)

I thought that RDM said something in the podcast about Olmos spontaneously adding the kiss, which is why Roslin's reaction is so good. --Deadlygopher 14:55, 16 January 2006 (EST)

That's correct. I learned this later myself when someone else noted this from the podcast as well as well as from the podcast when I listened in, too. --Spencerian 11:26, 17 January 2006 (EST)

"Roll the hard six"

Does anyone know what "rolling the hard six" actually refers to? I know it has to do with the game of craps, but I don't know specifically what it means. It would help if i did, because I've started using it completley inadvertently in everyday speech, along with frak. My friends look at me like I'm insane, its pretty bad. --BMS 00:52, 29 January 2006 (EST)
