In the new Battlestar Galactica miniseries there's a bit of dialogue that implies a kind of sci-fi version of the military alphabet--you know, alpha, bravo, foxtrot, sierra, etc. Just for fun I tried to fill in the rest.
Here's what I have so far. Some letters are still empty and some I'm not entirely happy with, so feel free to make suggestions.

The new Battlestar Galactica miniseries really sucked.

Which has nothing whatsoever to do with this thread. Feel free to reactivate the "Battlestar Galactica (The Next Generation)" if you want to discuss it some more.

Saying vector when you may want to vector some vipers in to an area, especially with a V callsign could get really screwed up....

I didn't intend for this to be a BSG-specific list per se, so much as a generic, skiffy version of the military alphabet. "Kepler" might be a stretch in a Colonial alphabet.
Although...it occurs to me that Moore is going to need to make up one for the BSG series. Having used it in the pilot, he's painted himself into a corner. Unless they just drops the idea and hope the audience doesn't notice.
Thanks to Aban Rune for his suggestions. I hadn't though of any of those.

What if the pilot's name is Charlie or Roger?
A whole sketch from Airplane ensues.

Mad magazine? I sure didint laugh at anything in Ep.I except the horrific dialogue, terrible acting from little Anakin and the notion that Vader and Jesus were created the same way.

Which could be a touchy subject.... For those with hands left anyway....
