Battlestar Galactica is the classic adventure of a ragtag fleet of humans, the sole survivors of a devastating nuclear attack by the robot cylons. Faced with an un-winnable battle against a deadly enemy, they are forced to flee under the protection of their one remaining warship, the outdated Battlestar Galactica. Pursued by the cylons-some of whom have now taken human form-Commander Adama (Olmos) and President Roslin (McDonnell) lead these last remnants of humanity in search of a new home - a planet called Earth.

This is the worst writing about the command structure and sets up the premise of sacrificing the Pegasus, a almost new ship, that very little combat damage, but has twice the viper capacity, longer range, generations ahead in armor and defenses and has the capacity to manufacture new parts for both fleet ships and vipers. And to setup the sacrifice to save the Galactica. A ship literally a museum that then suffered continuous battle damage and was falling apart half way through the series.
So, his best moments are: * his court case speech (which is yeah his best moment) * getting promoted (for being the son of the admiral) * getting shot * getting congratulated for... Well without context, not much According to the video, his best moments aren't: * final episode wanting to explore, choosing not to build a city * standing up to the president in an attempt to stop the coup * making the tough Olympic carrier decision * Battle at the Cylon mine s1??? * His (controversial) Pegasus sacrifice?????? (Or his choices in Razorback)
iirc, the Cylons were following standard protocol by closing off certain areas and venting others to vacuum. Tigh, being a vet, immediately knew what they boarders were planning...
isn't this essentially what happened on USS Enterprise (CVN-65) when she had her flight deck fire in the 60s or 70s? Ordinance malfunction results in the deaths of tens.
The fact that massive story points are explained by a character in a hospital bed doing a Basil Exposition really shows the writers did not have this planned from the start. Shame really because they could have been really cool if they had left hints and clues along the way
I could see why Adama backed off, especially after talking with Sharon and her speech about humanity and whether it deserved to survive. I’ve never gotten why Cain didn’t follow through, though. For someone who was ‘by the book’, why stop? Did Adama garner a small bit of respect from her, especially after a victorious battle? Was it possible she was actually intimidated by Adama, and that maybe she understood they survive longer working together? Oh, and Fisk’s hooded eyes…I couldn’t even see them.
I see so much Blade Runner in this, but in a twisted fashion. The Five think that the human form has endless possibilities, but Cavill rejects that out of spite, only in what he could've 'quantified' or 'detected', rather than in seeing true beauty. He really comes across as a middle-aged brat who rails at his creator for his perceived shortcomings and who wanted nothing more than to destroy all they wanted to create with humanity.
I remember a funny story after this cliffhanger, Michael Hogan did some traveling after and at a ticket counter for his flight, the rep did a double take and quietly asked, 'Are you really a Cylon?' 🤣
Had to skip ahead to Episode 19 of season 4, they ruined the show and just a weird soap opera, ...no cools special effects, no action, just a bunch of dribble... Must have paid the writers by the word, cause it is just poor excuse for technology predictions or any redeemable factor .... :(
For me, while most peoples were placed in different continents, i still think some at least created communities, it's the most human trait with strength in numbers. Either way, Exogenesis Rules.
After watching this multiple times, I just realized that at 1:04, Six has her hands on Ronald Moore's shoulders. So I guess they are angels. Silly me...
I realize it's entertainment and there has to be a certain amount of suspension of disbelief but I always wonder how Galactica repaired battle damage sustained in heavy combat. Comparing her to naval vessels when a WWII battlewagon was gravely wounded in a conflict with the enemy they would steam for drydock and get repairs. The isolation of Galactica would preclude that as solution so they would have to repair her in space. Also, I know they had nukes and I will assume the Cylons did as well. Why wouldn't they deploy these as regardless how sturdy a ship is, even a tactical nuke would cripple or destroy any ship be it Colonial or Cylon.
To be fair the preschool said the homework was to draw BSG promotional material so Hera just drew 6. This isn’t too far off given 6 was all over promotional material in a red dress. Smart kid.
one of the few shows that takes characters that show up for one/two episodes, yet create whole arcs for them when they shine so brightly in those few moments.
Loved this ending, even though we're still not sure who/what Head!Six or Head!Baltar are. Ironically, the ending is even more relevant today, more than ever....
one thing so many other previous shows never did, was show the aftermath of a war, or a battle or an insurgency. As much as other shows only show the noble, clean, proper version of humanity...this is a fallacy. Real humanity is messy, grey and probably always will. The best of us rise to the occasion despite the darkness.
Loved Fisk's look of shock at what Shaw did...almost as if he knew he were looking at another Cain in the making. God, this series was so awesome, putting it up there with Babylon 5, and the Expanse (and perhaps For All Mankind).
Loved how they talked about a 'super weapon' being made on some 'ice planet', so couldn't help thinking of the original BSG with the 'Raveshol Pulsar' on a similar planet. When the Hybrid ship took off, i appreciated it being a blending of the original circular design and the 'arms' jutting out that would later become the modern Base Star
Loved this scene as we didn't see the attack happen to the shipyards in the original Miniseries. What a contrast Cain had when hazing Shaw, being personable with her XO...and then shooting him in front of her crew. I guess she could've just had him relieved and had Fisk take over right there...but i think a Message needed to be sent for all to see. When i saw that scene, not only did it show how 'grey' the show is, but i also realized that something like that would never, EVER, happen in Star Trek (with its black and white morality and no one every getting into fights or questioning commands at the point of a gun).
I know how it feels you think your in a relationship and then you have always been the other guy the second choice the one she’ll settle for when things don’t turn out the way she wanted and then your the one she’ll never be happy with.
One of the most tense and awesome scenes in scifi tv history. Other shows would've had something 'technobabbly' to make a nice peaceful ending with all smiles at the end, but not this show.
