*When Lacy first meets Odin at the spaceport, she asks, "Do you speak Caprican?" to which Odin replies, "Everyone speaks Caprican." This could mean that the native language of Caprica--depicted as English--was commonly spoken on Gemenon given its proximity to Caprica and Caprica's position as a powerful, influential colony.  It is also possible that Caprican was spoken on other colonies, as well. Given that every character in the [[Battlestar_Galactica_(RDM)|re-imagined ''Battlestar Galactica'']] speaks Caprican a mere 58 years after the events of "Blowback," the latter explanation is especially likely.
*When Lacy first meets Odin at the spaceport, she asks, "Do you speak Caprican?" to which Odin replies, "Everyone speaks Caprican", indicating that the power and influence of Caprica have led to its native language being spoken as at least a second language throughout the other colonies. This is supported by the fact that every character in the [[Battlestar_Galactica_(RDM)|re-imagined ''Battlestar Galactica'']] speaks Caprican, 58 years after these events.

Notes

Analysis

  • When Lacy first meets Odin at the spaceport, she asks, "Do you speak Caprican?" to which Odin replies, "Everyone speaks Caprican", indicating that the power and influence of Caprica have led to its native language being spoken as at least a second language throughout the other colonies. This is supported by the fact that every character in the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica speaks Caprican, 58 years after these events.
  • The "hijackers" speak Old Gemenese, which is similar to Romanian, as established in the re-imagined series movie "Razor".
