William ,'Conversations with Dead People'
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Short answer - yes and yes.
Starbuck, Apollo, etc fly Vipers, which are the BSG version of fighter jets.
Boomer is a Raptor pilot, which means she mainly flies scouting missions, and flies with a copilot/navigator on board. The Raptors can also carry cargo and passengers.
And the Colonies have always been named for the Zodiac signs.
Yes, on the planets named for the zodiac on the original.
I think Sharon is a raptor pilot. They are more transport and support ships than fighters. The fighter ships are called...uh,..something else.
Vipers! xposty save!
Thank you! I was hearing raptor and viper and conflating them for some reason
I can't keep them straight for the life of me. And what are the Cylon fighters called again?
Wings? Maybe. But there are bigger ships with another name. And the massive ones with yet another name. (So not helpful.)
I have no idea about the cyclon thingies.
I am also wondering if Cheif Tyrol should be my favorite...I just love him, and I feel bad that all the new pilots are his superiors!
raiders
Raiders for the boomerang-y fighters, and Basestar for the big ships. And then there are Resurrection Ships.
I love the design of the raiders -- how sharp and sleek they are. They remind me of predatory cats for some reason.
What are the bigger fighting ships - the ones that carry the Centurions?
I'm tempted to say Elephants. But then I remind myself that Hannibal was in Dirk Whassname's other show, not BSG.
