Years?

[Flamingo Girl]

I'm watching the series premier, and I swear I heard the President say they had been at war for a thousand years. Am I hearing things?

Yes you heard it right. It is part of the inconsistencies the original is famous for.

[Flamingo Girl]

Ok.

You'll also hear the time units change a lot between the 1st few hours and the rest of the series and centon (minute-like) and secton (week) sound a lot alike and may have been mixed up to boot. Michael's got an article on bp.com that talks about the whole time & distance units thing: look under articles/interviews.

I never thought of that as an inconsistency. What colony was Adar from anyway? Seems to me different Colonies may have different units of measurement. Sort of like the US and the metric system that everyone else in the world uses. We know what the metric system is and can use it if we have to, but we still hold on to our old method. That's the way I always saw it, but if you're just looking for inconsitencies they aren't hard to find.
