Sources talk:Subject 2 Discussion, 11 April 2006

Is it just me, or did Koenigrules just assume that Tigh loses his eye? I mean the phrase is "looks out of his eye"...for all we know, that was just a turn of phrase, or perhaps, he got a really bad black eye and it's swollen and he can't see out of it. Lots of possibilities. Yikes, Koenigrules handled this really irresponsibly. I'm pretty steamed about it. --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 00:51, 16 April 2006 (CDT)

No, it's not just you. It's clear to me that KR just read the casting side and RDM's blog and made a few conjectures, and Shaun O'Mac heard Katee's interview on KUFO in Portland. Because the majority of KR's comments can be traced to other sources, I'm hopeful that we can find out where he obtained the few scraps of information which appear to be original, and which he doesn't explicitly identify as guesses. Namely:

Title of episode 3x02
Death of Ellen Tigh around episode four

Do we officially condemn Koenigrules? (Your call). --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 01:15, 16 April 2006 (CDT)

"Condemning" him isn't an option, and as always, any citation is better than nothing. But we should approach his reports with a healthy skepticism and try to uncover his primary sources. --Peter Farago 01:52, 16 April 2006 (CDT)

Probably because I'm half asleep and I've been watching Apocalypse Now reruns all day, but my patience with Koenigrules is running thin. I honestly don't know why he is considered a more important news source than us by GalacticaStation, he usually just reports stuff based on the things we've seen. Look, really I've had nothing against him before this at all. But like dominoes, I saw all the news sites reporting his *interpretation* of a poorly sourced script as if it was fact, and I'm annoyed--->regardless: I don't want to "condemn" him, I want to know if our official position is that his report is lousy, so that when I'm on the official site, I can say "at BattlestarWiki, we analyzed this and decided he didn't know any more than we did", because if anyone doesn't want me to say that, I will not. But it comes up in conversation alot, but I thought the right thing would be to check here first. ****Brilliant idea. I should try to get an interview with Subject2Discussion, to hype the Golden Toaster Awards which I am a spokesperson for, and mention in passing that KR was a little...overzealous in his reporting. Overzealous is a better word than condemn. The horror....the horror....--The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 02:12, 16 April 2006 (CDT)
