Talk:Cylon (1978)

[edit] New BSG image

Isn't there a BSG real series Cylon picture out there that came from the real series and not from the modern bastardisation?

I mean, to those of us who actually do despise the un-imagining (oh shock shock), it seems just bloody rude to use a picture from this modern... whatever. Aberration. Ugh... as a representative picture for a race from the real BSG.

Yeah, the deimagining picture is poor form. I put it in there because it was the one in the original article. It should be changed... so go ahead.

Whats up with it? It shows a Cylon what more do you want :\? thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 15:23, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

An actual 1978 Cylon for the Cylon (1978) article would be better. But, I'm not about to change it.

[edit] Cylons - reptilian race

Cylons are reptiles. Also, Luke Skywalker is a Vulcan. Cite your sources, know-it-all.

Apollo specifically says this in the pilot (end of the second episode when split.)

In German, the word for year is "Jahre" (plural, "Jahren", pronounced as the English "Yarn"). As German Jews speak Yiddish and much of Yiddish is lower German, this is probably the borrowed source of the word. Therefore, should it be spelled "Yahren" in this wiki? Maybe it should be changed to the spelling with a "J"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.67.126.162 (talk) 04:56, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Offical sources spell it Yahren, whatever the origin of the term was.
