[edit] Restructure and Revamp

I've stripped all the text from the LOE and just left the tables, I'm going to be revamping the LOE as it was in a bit of a state - the original article is still in the history. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 12:18, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Section move?

I'm going to float this idea here before going forward with a full RM... what do people think about moving the Galactica 1980 episode section to its own article? --BlueSquadronRaven 21:46, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Nah, think it's a bad idea, it only had 10 episodes.. I just don't think the length would justify a dedicated article, secondly both seasons were of the same continuity and they also combined can produce a more stable and better article. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 21:51, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Side note: I would like to rename this article though, 1978-1980 bothered me slightly, (1978, 1980) bothers me as well, what about (original continuity)? Thoughts? thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 21:53, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. By the same token, I hate euphemisms, as they can be ambiguous. The whole, overused phrase "re-imagined" bugs me no end. I think the years, even comma-delineated, are better for accuracy. --BlueSquadronRaven 21:57, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

True. It's liveable with in all honesty. What's your opinion on cancelled episodes? for example "The Day they Kidnapped Cleopatra" -- the problem I see with that is it's going to be a toughie to reliably cite, there's not a lot known and also does it have a place among the LOE or would it be better suited to the parental article? thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 22:01, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

The parent article might be best, if only as a sideline note, since it was never actually finished and aired. If you can't get it on DVD these days, it probably doesn't belong in an episode list. --BlueSquadronRaven 22:04, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

If no one else objects (or is it just me and you with this page watch listed heh?) I'll do it tomorrow :-) -- I'll see about digging up a cite as well. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 22:07, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
