One of the possible weapons should be the poo-bucket under one of the seats.

Is Open Space a place or a weapon?

I suppose it could be both I have not started building weapons cards yet.

As a location? That’d be outside. As a weapon, it’s a possibility.

Thought the pilot’s seat was on the left? Like airplanes as opposed to helicopters. It is in The Passage - but who knows from earlier episodes.

Which passenger seat is the crapper?

Eleven.

890

I can’t imagine crapping into a vacuum is real pretty…

On that note:

Merry Christmas everybody!

hey guys,

I won’t get to see the webisodes (I don’t even think I can watch the New Caprica webisodes yet either), but here’s some thoughts from what I can gather, from an aspiring writer (read: i’m still studying the craft and haven’t written anything yet) :

[ul]
[li]The whole people-trapped-in-a-raptor thang is a tension-building device.
[/li][/ul]
The whole raptor sub-arc is an analogy of what’s happening in the big picture of Galactica itself. Like the New-Cap webisodes, RDM made use of the season-break to pull the camera away from Galactica itself, yet still manage to push the storyline forward. The webisodes are by nature, do not accelerate the plotline. Neither did RDM make them into red-herrings. They’re more like, minor keystones in the grand-scheme of episode story arcs that blend into the big picture.

[ul]
[li]Gaeta’s sexuality is non-relevant in the BSG universe.
[/li][/ul]
Ok, I’m walking on eggshells here. But generally in most stories, a character’s makeup of attributes are meant to serve the storyline, ultimately. I think this is a carryover from RDM’s time at ST Next-gen, where everything is politically correct. So yeah, it doesn’t really matter if Gaeta brang it on with barbie Sharon as well as with Hoshi. But the nature of Gaeta’s relationship with barbie Sharon should be significant once BSG goes online next year.

I don’t think Hoshi would play a significant character next year (I only remember him during the Pegasus arc), but rather, serve an excuse why Gaeta would be off-camera perhaps longer next year. :frowning:

[ul]
[li]I don’t think Viper pilots wear diapers.
[/li][/ul]
Which brings us to this question : How do fighter pilots on super-long sorties, or how do snipers in general, do their biz-ness while outfield?

Wolf-brand chillies
Ok, on to tangents. As someone who lives in south-east asia, we eat spice-laden food for breakfast, lunch & dinner. When my cousinne was studying in Australia, she survived by layering a generous dose of tabasco on everything she ate. I’ve come to respect the Southern Spices. And I’m quite interested in trying out that Wolf-brand chillies Sean was talking about. :wink: heheh…

I am completely with you re the “meaning” of the raptor story (it reflects the larger saga without advancing the overall plot - although there may be a “clue” to a larger issue hidden in there - and is a very clever parlor room mystery) AND the Gaeta issue - except to the extent that the writers might just give him a stable relationship in stark contrast to most of the straight story lines.

As for the discharge of precious bodily fluids - all I know is that as time marches on…oh, to hell with it.

And as a denizen of South Louisiana I agree that one of the few benefits of the pre refrigerator age was the development of hot sauces.
