I'm continually inspired by the power she exuded with her unbridled determination and rage. The last shot going down the line of Cylon cannons was epic. As a kid I remember yelling "Do it! Blast them out of the sky!" I'm glad they didn't but man... I felt that
I've said it before, but I love the reaction of the Six in this scene - she's shocked by the pure fury coming off Roslin. The Sixes were obsessed with love, and here was a prime example of what love can drive a person to do.
in this moment Laura reminds me of Delenn from B5. Delenn, Flat out breaks her own council and through almost sheer force of will brings a fleet to save B5 You are infront of me, He is behind me. If you value your lives.. BE somewhere else You just dont want to be on the side that pi$$es eithier of them off lol :D
I would put this one along Delenn's (B5) - If you value your lives, be somewhere else. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UYloWBP79ro.html
What a woman! She'd have made a fine Klingon! I honestly think an angry Roslin is every bit as scary as an angry Adama. Of all the things that happened in this series, if I could change just ONE thing, then at the final end of the series I'd have written it so that Adama and Roslin got to live out their golden years on Earth together. Everything else was perfect but she didn''t have to die upon reaching Earth. Never saw how that moved the story.
'No. Not now. Not ever. Do you hear me? I will use every cannon, every bomb, every bullet, every weapon I have down to my own eye teeth to end you! I swear it!I'm coming for all of ya'. At that moment, 6 just came.
@@BDaMonkey That mate, is penosterous! We had 2. *2!!!!!* Battlestars in our arsenal. And Galactica from my point of view was holding back. Now if you recall that battle which resulted in the destruction of the Cylon resurrection ship, Galactica and Pegasus combined had enough man-power and firepower, to sink, I counted 9 Basestars. MAX
@@stephenbyrne2170 The Cylons had enough Basestars to nuke all the colonies simultaneously. Pegasus was in no fit state to fight at that point, it did a blind jump because it was about to be obliterated. They lost 700 men. Galactica wasn't in a much better condition, as it was being decommissioned when the colonies were attacked. So no. There's no way they would've won a fight. They got caught with their pants down and had their entire fleet destroyed bar Galactica and Pegasus. The cylon fleet had a massive tactical advantage over the colonial fleet. I'm not even mentioning the computer virus they used on linked ships.
god fucking dammit I must have watched this scene 90 times and every time I get goosebumps and burst out laughing at the end uncontrollably because of how badass it is it's like my body is in shock and doesn't even know what to do. one of the great sci fi leaders of all film TV and movies
There is a point at which despair gives way to insanity and rage. People describe it as seeing red, or something inside them breaking, but the contours of the experience are the same if difficult to put into words. The border between the two is an emotional cascade which overwhelms everything else in your being with frightening speed. Adama is describing something very similar after the Fleet breaks up over Kobol, that the anger over his betrayal "suffocates all other thought, all other emotion, until nothing is left but the rage." The acting here is simply incredible, not just for Mary but for Trisha and James as well. You see the cascade occur on Mary's face, from shock, to utter and complete despair, to a withering and all-consuming determination for vengeance no matter the cost. Her declaration is so emotionally powerful that you can see the unconscious impact it has on Baltar and Six, the gravity of the emotion behind her words immediately firing the spirits of both, who experience a piece of that cascade based on their own experiences. Hell, even Felix hears it over the wireless. Anyone who hears this immediately understands the threshold that was just crossed, and how they can never go back. Finally, when Adama gets on the horn you see the cascade of rage come to an immediate halt, as if Roslin had jumped off a precipice and someone hit 'rewind' returning her to the ledge. It's as thought you've witnessed the birth and death of a monster that was always inside us all. It's incredible.
Frak me what a powerful scene... Despite all their differences in the past, all the trials and tribulations that they've endured be that alone or inflicted upon one another by each other, this scene unites them all. Even Baltar looks emotionally gutted upon hearing that Adama had been executed. And then when Roslin refuses to give up and lets her rage surface you can see it infect and unite all present. Again, even Baltar looks like he wants to fight alongside them lol. Epic stuff and by the Gods I miss this show.
The star power through this series.....I mean James and Mary goes without saying......James Callis, Tricia Helfer.....they were incredible......Jamie Bamber.......and all the others.......it was just an incredible series.......
