BATTLESTAR GALACTICA
2X12 - RESURRECTION SHIP (2)
Original Airdate (SciFi): 13-JAN-2006
(from internet transcript)
Fisk: Specialist Gage, let me ask you something. Those men in there, are they wearing Colonial uniforms?
Gage: Yes, sir.
Fisk: Specialist Vireem, do you agree with Specialist Gage here that those are, in fact, Colonial officers?
Vireem: Yes, sir. They killed lieutenant--
Fisk: Shut your frakkin' mouth! You see, I don't quite understand what I just saw because I think I saw you two knuckledraggers treating those men like they were Cylons, which, of course, couldn't be right because if, in fact, that was the case, then you're both subject to charges of assaulting a chief and a lieutenant under color of authority in a time of war. Which, if I'm not mistaken, carries a penalty on this ship that is quite severe.
From 8/30/1946 ( ) To 1/13/2006 ( ) is 21686 days
From 11/2/1965 ( my known birth date in Antlers, Oklahoma, USA, as Kerry Wayne Burgess ) To 3/18/2025 ( ) is 21686 days

Kat: Ooh, Scar's gonna smoke you like a fine cigar, my man.
BB: Who's Scar?
Duck: Not who. What. Toaster's top gun. Deadliest raider in the cylon fleet.
Jo Jo: Gimme break. Come on they're machines. one's the same as the next.
Yeah, that's what we thought till Captain thrace cut the brain out of one.
Hotdog: Scar's the best they got. Lotta pilots die going after that bastard.
BB: Why do they call him Scar?
Kat: You'll find out soon enough. He's got a taste for nuggets. Easy pickings.
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA
2X15 - SCAR
Original Airdate (SciFi): 03/FEB/2006
Galactica - Brig
Boomer: This guy's probably died and been reborn a dozen times. You may have faced him before.
Starbuck: So what, raiders reincarnate? Just like you?
Boomer: Yeah, just like me.
Starbuck: Great. What a frakkin' world.
Boomer: A raider's much like a trained animal, with the basic consciousness and survival instinct. But with the destruction of the resurrection ship, when they die, they're really dead. So, they're not gonna mount mass attacks where they could have major casualties.
Starbuck: Raiders reincarnate?
Boomer: Makes sense, doesn't it? It takes months for you to train a nugget into an effective viper pilot. And then they get killed. And their experience, their knowledge, their skill sets. They're all lost forever. So, if you could bring 'em back and put 'em in a brand new body, wouldn't you do it? 'Cause death then becomes a learning experience. How, uh-- how many pilots have we lost? I mean, have you lost?
Starbuck: You know, there are times when I look at you and I forget what you are. All I see is that kid that pooched her landings day after day. The kid that was frakkin' the chief and thinking she was getting away with it.
Boomer: Yeah, I remember. [Crying] You were like a big sister to--
Boomer reaches out to touch Starbuck on the leg. The marines promptly cock and raise their rifles to stop her.
Boomer: Kara, um-- be careful of Scar, okay? He's filled with rage.
Starbuck: About what?
Boomer: Dying's a painful and traumatic experience. Every time he's reborn, he's filled with more bitter memories. Scar hates you every bit as much as you hate him.
