This might be interesting to look at (involves Fragged, Resistance, Farm), but I'm too tired to write up any of this:

"Apollo can fly a Raptor" comment

Look again. He's sitting on the right, while it's well-established (see eg. Kobol's last gleaming pt. 1) that the pilot's seat is on the left (both as seen from the front).

- WouterCoene is correct. Lee is sitting in the passenger seat, which is the seat on the port side of the Raptor. (Or the "front", were we to look into the Raptor from its front.) -- Joe Beaudoin 22:57, 30 Jul 2005 (EDT)
- But look to the mini-series when Sharon leave Helo! Sharon seats on that right seat where Lee is sitting in this episode. Well, then, if pilot seat is the Left one (when looking from the front), how could Sharon leave Caprica in mini-series? or the young boy was flying that raptor? :-) -- Lordhp <lordhp (at) centrum (dot) cz> - 1.7.2005 18:20 GMT+1
- Actually, having reviewed the footage from both the mini and Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I, the cockpit controls on the port side of the raptor are also pilot controls. (See the part where Crashdown tries to contorl the descent of Raptor 1 in the fourth or fifth act.) However, I believe that the primary controls seem to be seated at the starboard side. (as evidenced throughout the season) -- Joe Beaudoin 16:00, 1 Aug 2005 (EDT)
Disassembling what? Large unidentified Cylon craft
After holding a funeral for Socinus and Tarn, the ground crew stranded on Kobol discover that the Cylons are cannibalizing the parts of the downed Raptor craft, and are using the parts to build an anti-aircraft battery.
That is definitely not a Raptor. You can see on the front right portion a Cylon brain cockpit, in a similar position where it would be on a Heavy Raider. However I don't remember a Heavy Raider having those pointy pylon things up front. From the relative size of the Centurion walking next to it, this ship could be even bigger than a Heavy Raider. My guess it is those large unidentified Cylon craft seen outside the Basestar in KLG2 when Boomer's Raptor arrives. If you watch it frame by frame, you can vaguely see those pointy protrusions up front. Except for those two pointy things it kind of looks like a flying Washington Monument, with two blue flame engines burning in the back. --Laven 02:12, 1 Aug 2005 (EDT)
Then just edit the line. Seriously, you didn't need to make a big fuss over it. It's just a show.--Crazyrabbits 03:17, 1 Aug 2005 (EDT)
The draidus dish was salvaged from the nose cone of the Rapror, Tyrol speculated as much when he saw the dish. The ship shown need not be the raptor. Clearly the cylons had to get to the planet somehow after the base start exploded (I doubt even a Centurion is resilient enough to do a re-entry). If their ship was only for transport (a light raider or cargo ship) and didn't have ship to ship missiles canabalizing the raptor makes sense. Remember, the raptor also crashed in a relatively open area and the missile stands were in the forest, so the Centurions landed at the downed raptor, riped off the interesting stuff, flew into the forest, and begam assembly. --Shemnon 16:01, 1 Aug 2005 (EDT)
