Adama's last flight out and his 'So say we all' speech were the 2 most epic moments in the entire series. For me, this one is the most epic. Adama saying bye to an old friend.. As a huge fan of the original when I was a boy, that theme for me is the greatest in TV/movie history. Moore used it at the beginning, and end of the series.. Just perfect.
Despite all the nukes, artillery, free falling into New Caprica's atmosphere, and the entire frame bending under the stress of the final jump. Galactica still proudly displayed her name in its entirety on the flight pods to the very end
They’d been to war together, both as a young pilot and as seasoned vet. They’d been through hell and high water together. This was how he said goodbye.
Grew up with the old seris and always wanted to fly a viper this scene always brings a tear to my eyes farewell old friend thanks for the memories you will be missed
My family lived in the same house for ten years. My children left to go live with their mother, I wasn’t sure if I’d see them again. I moved out after buying my own house. I walked to the front door and turned around. Seeing all the memories of them. I said in a loud voice to my kids “ I’m going out buddies, I’ll see you later.” Then I walked out. This is the feelings
I think that was the dumbest move humanity could have done. All the sweat and sacrifices the ancestors made to have the knowledge to be in space just lost. This among many other mistakes made from remaining humans.
Galactica and CV-6 Enterprise have a lot in common they both gave all to protect their personal and country and in the end were completely worn out but there legend lives on.
What gave this scene full power was how the used the music from the original Galactica series (1978) which was adapted in this series to be the colonies anthem. I watched the original series when I was a kid, and this one scene really got me. I know the studios are attempting to make a new movie/series, but I think they could explore this series as an alternative. Remember, the Galactica and the fleet did not go straight towards the Sun, they can't, instead, they have to follow a spiral going inward towards the Sun that could take a long time. Technically, the fleet could have taken years to finally crash into the Sun... so, if there were no computers anymore, and the one and only pilot is no longer to control it (maybe he dies before reaching the destination), there could be a small chance of the Galactica itself missing the Sun, and perhaps crash into any of the planets, could be Venus, Mercury, or if it somehow passes the Sun and slingshots out of it, it could crash into any of the planets including Earth. A follow up series could show humans today or in the near future finding the wrecked Galactica, a good spot would be either Mercury or the Moon or a large asteroid since there is no atmosphere and it would not burn up on reentry and the lower gravity would allow it to "crash land". That would be very inetresting.
I love that feeling. That empty, hollowness of being _the _*_last_* person in a place that was teeming with people, aflood with purpose. You can _feel_ the energy, the weight of history.
Makes me wonder why the hell so many people split into warring camps over the original series in 1978, and he 2004 series? Can't we enjoy BOTH? I loved the '78 series. I was 17 then, and I look back on it, and yeah, it was campy, but there was still the underlying story of humanity trying to survive. I was one of those idiots who, when I heard of the remake and that Starbuck was gonna be a GIRL? I refused to watch it. I finally gave in in 2013 and watched-and that "GIRL" who played Starbuck became probably my favorite female actor of all time. Katee Sackhoff blew me away with her portrayal of Kara Thrace. Kara Thrace as become one of the most iconic Sci-Fi characters of all time. I will never forgive Dirk Benedict for his crybaby "opinion" in 2009 about "Stardoe". He was excellent as Starbuck, but his pettiness toward the remake and Katee's portrayal soured me on the guy.
I don't know if many of us can truly grasp what Adama felt doing this. He served on that ship as a young man and then had the privilege of commanding her towards the end of his career. Here he is on the other side the galaxy finally retiring from his final command and decommissioning the ship that was a large part of his life.
David IS a pretty boy, like cmon now [i havent watched doctor who yet I wish I could, but I dont have time cuz of the 3 other shows ive been trying to watch 5 maybe 6 10? 20? 50???? idk
Adama never wanted to do the polygraph. But when Tigh wouldn't answer him when asked if he would "do it" for a civilian desk job, that settled it for Adama.
I named my cat (snowshoe breed) River Song because I thought my kitty was a girl. Turns out, whoops, he's a boy! I kept the name and I nicknamed him Pretty Boy because of this episode and, well, he is.
