I hear that NBC may be trying to make a spinoff of BSG, focused on either the Caprica resistance or on the crew of the Celestra research vessel (a third option of following the Pegasus crew was abandoned). Apparently, NBC is jealous of SciFi, and of RDM's unwillingness to bring BSG over to NBC. Kuralyov 01:02, 24 Jul 2005 (EDT)

Well, I guess I've heard of more short-sighted things... -- Joe Beaudoin 10:28, 24 Jul 2005 (EDT)
That kinda...doesn't make sense. They should just be happy that they get the money from the channel that they OWN. -- YeNguyen 12:42, 24 Jul 2005 (EST)
I think their reasoning is that if it were on NBC as opposed to SciFi, they'd get more viewers and thus more money - and if they had a show on each, then there'd be even more money than that. Kuralyov 22:13, 24 Jul 2005 (EDT)
I've got the theme songs of the first and second season, but don't know how to convert them into an .ogg file, can someone help? --Blacklight
I'm afraid that we aren't going to be able to use them, anyway. For one, we need to have permission to use them anyway; as of right now, both themes are available on the season 1 soundtrack, and were we to post them, we'd probably get in trouble for copyright infringement. Something that I seriously do not want to occur. -- Joe Beaudoin 21:50, 30 September 2005 (EDT)
Ah alright, not a problem. --Blacklight

"sop vs. SOP"

In the discussion of the doctor's smoking habit. RDM calls this "my one sop to the idea of an idealized society". Someone well-intentioned added the definition "[Standard Operating Procedure]" after "sop", probably after looking it up on an online dictionary. Unfortunately, this is incorrect. "sop" in this case does not refer to the abbreviation SOP, but to the word "sop: noun, 1. A piece of food soaked or dipped in a liquid. 2a. Something yielded to placate or soothe. b. A bribe."

I simply removed the bracketed addition.--Jasontondro 15:19, 23 December 2005 (EST)

Caseless Ammmo?[edit]

From the official statements: "[The bullets] are some sort of caseless ammunition." Hmmm. That would make sabotaging the casing a little bit more difficult then, wouldn't it? Bah. This is why writers hate being pinned down by technical details. --Steelviper 13:45, 16 February 2006 (EST)
