Podcast talk:Act of Contrition

"When she grabs the hand": correction to "head"

For the context of what I'm working from: I haven't listened to the podcasts in their original location, but many of the commentary tracks on the Blu-rays (perhaps even all) are clearly the same audio, both because they're identical to these transcripts and also because several of them so far have been verbally introduced as "podcasts".

This commentary moment coincides with Starbuck walking away from Adama after he tells her to "walk out of this cabin while you still can", grabbing her own head/hair in distress as she goes. I'm not completely certain if it's "head" or "hair" that's said, but after a few listens I'm leaning towards "head". Of course, "the head" isn't grammatically correct (and "the hair" wouldn't be either), but I think that happens because one of them interjects with something like "the grabbing of the head" and then the other echoes that wording. But it's definitely not "hand" - and it was Starbuck's behind the scenes section that led me here, because it mentions grabbing Adama's hand (which doesn't happen in the scene) with this podcast as a source. I'm going to make a corresponding edit there.

If someone with a better grasp of American accents re-listens and decides it sounds more like "hair", I defer to their judgement! AshhawkBurning (talk) 19:51, 11 February 2026 (UTC)
