Battlestar Galactica | Abandoning Ship 

He's a human who was able to resurrect. It's not quite the same thing.

@@JohnxLocke Thank God none of that plot line was confusing.

@@JohnxLocke I thought he was the offspring of many generations of artificial intelligence created on Kobol that was destroyed by a new artificial intelligence that they created on Earth none of which were cyclons.

Holy shit.

Everyone thought it was Roslin.....But Galactica led the fleet no matter who was in charge. Even when Pegasus showed up, It was Galactica at the front of the fleet. The Rebel baseship fell in line with the Grand Old Lady when it arrived. The Dying leader brought them to the promised land....but didn't live to see it......... as she became one with the star that shines over them to this day. Godspeed Galactica

They took that about Moses. He carried the tribes into the promised land, but was not aloud to go in it.

FUNNY CYLON ;LEADER HUMANS LEADER BEST FRIENDS

Moses parallel

This version made the ship a character - in the original it was more of a location.

Aye that they are

So say we all.

BEST SHIP IN THE FLEET, SO SAY WE ALL.

The opposite of Star Trek Voyager

The only damage that seemed to be repaired was to the water tanks as well as a few dints to the aft of the port flight pod

I love how Tyrol says they cut corners building her but that she's also endured hits that've felled other battlestars, showcasing exactly how right the designers got it when they built the ship. Just makes me wonder what that Battlestar would've been like if she'd had all her armor plating. I'd wager she'd still be in rough shape, but not about to split in two. That said, Galactica was always the flagship of the colonial fleet in my eyes. Her sheer resilience should be proof enough why she used to be just that.

one thing I wasn't convinced with was their viper/raptor replacement rate. they must've lost at least a few dozen before even meeting pegasus, but in season 2 ep 9 they manage to launch what looks like an entire wing including the modern vipers. it doesn't add up.

@@SmokeyBCN They showed a lot of the same recycled scenes of vipers getting wasted/destroyed, but in reality it's best to not pay attention to those scenes, given they don't seem to count those. IIRC a wing is 40 vipers, which is... essentially all that Galactica had.

So say we all

SO SAY WE ALL.

SO SAY WE ALL!

@@rohesilmnelohe So Say We All!!!

I'd like to believe that one of the main reasons (if not the only one) he endured it all was Bill. Cheesy as it sounds, it was "the power of friendship". They were true brothers.

And he’s still got his own teeth!

Some of the best humans in this show were cylons. We could all learn a little about honor. integrity and loyalty from this show. Positive attributes that seem to manifest less and less these days.

Tigh was one of my favorites.

@@orusandornots1915 De-balls ensigns within a 20-foot radius.

Wonderful way to put it. "This was a hell of a ship once"

In my heart, she never died.. I felt Adama had a secret crack engineering team find a planet, rich in minerals and began building a newer Galactica quietly. When the old Galactica made it to earth, the old Galactica was gutted and everything stripped to the new Galactica being built. I’ve read historical accounts of a ship of retired ship builders caught in a gale and arrive at an island.. They later scrapped the old ship and made two smaller ships to continue on their voyage home.. Let the engineers build and create a better ship.. Let the Engineers of Galactica rebuild and upgrade her! So Say, We All!!!

@@lawnmowermanTX It wouldn't be the same. A different ship inevitably comes with a different soul.

Ironically.... she broke her back in the end because they didn't retract the flight pods before jumping

@@k1productions87 seriously, despite a design flaw and a beating at new caprica and multiple strolls through some space storm, that bucket was the real beast.

Ship maybe gone but the name will be passed on

@@joeyboedeker7205 CVN-80 is being built!

@@6120mcghee Very good. The Navy isn't the Navy without an Enterprise

Shame they didn't save her, and turn her into a museum ship. It had such a colourful history. I know that it was not safe, specifically because it had nuclear reactors, and it would cost way too much to clean it up. In fact, removing the reactors in themselves requires cutting away 1/4 of the ship, which makes a lot of sense why they're not saving the rest. Granted, if they DID turn her into a museum ship, you'd have to wonder whether the ceremony of turning CV-65 would take place just as World War III starts... or Cylons...

@@TheEDFLegacy CV-6 also had a colorful history and she had every right to be saved as well. But I guess one Enterprise at a time...sadly...

Wait he's in the hospital? What happened to him?

@@dennismatula650 He fell and hit his head real bad. Partially paralyzed and memory loss. Search for his gofundme to get latest updates. He's doing better now, but still has a long way to being recovered.

_"Beware of an old man in a profession where men usually die young."_ I reckon that holds true for Galactica as well. She's got spirit.

MA BAAALS

SO SAY WE ALL.

Fair winds 75!

Give Black Sails a try

Galactica did thats for sure she was as a much a character as anybody else Like they she was a grand ol lady

I’m wondering what the engine of a used car, my mom bought was telling me back in 2019, on that cool November morning.. “Thanks honey, for the sweetest trips we made together… I am really tired…” Then her main front and rear main seals gave out and despite her passion to keep going was fading her FTL drive went offline and that was it.

Cars too 🖖

Yeah, Saul has the T word pass cuz hes one of em ;)

Darth Marth Me to I thought "what an unnecessary fracking waste".

Infernal460 why the ship was done.

Matthew Burtis I'll let Tigh in this scene do my talking for me.

Didnt help that they played the original Anthem that moment....

Why did Anders agree to do it?

Seems so.

Probably, Galactica has some similarities with The Big E also. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Enterprise_(CV-6)

In respect to two fine ships, I like to believe that Galactica embodies the spirit of both Enterprise and Warspite. Three grand Old Ladies together, who saw their crews safely home

@@darrengorham667 well in a way, she was built to be both as well. The guns and armour of a Battleship, while also being a carrier. Seemingly indestructable no matter what was thrown at her, just like how Enterprise took so much damage in her life the Japanese believed her to be sunk on multiple occasions, combined with the legthy history and battle honours of Warspite.

Home Improvement with William Adama.

Um....I disagree. I liked the Galactica but the best fleet of the ship was definitely the Pegasus. Lee should have scuttled the Galactica and transferred the flag to the Pegasus.

Well said....Long live those old BONES 😉

Frack'n Bastard! I'm going to Airlock his ass!

@@jblonar I have an LDV Pilot van thats rusty as hell, takes two hours to get going if very cold weather, no heating but I'll be damned if I don't love her to bits Ever seen a 2 ton van beat a Lambo from a standing start? This old girl can

@@Trek001 184,000 miles and she's still going strong. Still gets about 29 mpg.

and no respite in sight...

At least she didn't die by Uboat like her predecessor....Even though I'm a Yank, it breaks my heart at what has happened to the Royal Navy....I just hope you get enough funding so your 2 brand new bird farms get full air wings.....want to see a multi national CVBG with USS Enterprise CVN-80 and the RN "twins" patrolling the North Atlantic....and to the shitheads in Hollywierd; the next time you film a startrek movie you had BEST show models of USS Enterprise CVN-80; USS Enterprise CVN-65, and USS Enterprise CV-6 on the bulkhead in the Captain's day cabin, or they will launch a full Alpha strike (the Sunday punch...) at your sorry asses....!

Starbuck Adama/Roslin

Which Adama? Not Lee, that's for sure. You need the older Adama to keep Kara in check, and even then you have to be wary of what happens should the worst eventuate. Starbuck (both of them, the original and this one) is a superb warrior but a not-so-great leader.

I had another reply, but this one is the most appropriate: SO SAY WE ALL!!!

"Bones....what have I done?" "What you had to do...what you always do....turn death into a fighting chance to live"

Kirk had to watch his Grand Old Lady burn up in the atmosphere of a decaying planet.

They do, but it's inverted. At the end of Star Trek 6, when Uhura tells them Starfleet ordered that they're to go in for decommissioning: Spock: "If I were human, I would tell them to go to hell. IF I were human." Kirk: "Second star on the right, and straight on till morning." Decommissioning does not necessarily mean scrapping; it's often for a crew change and Kirk notes that in his log. "This ship and her history will soon become the responsibility of another crew."

In the original BSG universe, some of Galactica's artillery or stuff they salvaged seems to have gone to the civilian ships in the fleet. From the novel "Battlestar Galactica 2: The Cylon Death Machine" - "One ship, marked _Colonial Movers, we move anywhere_ had, with makeshift armament, turned back an entire Cylon squadron single-handed."

TBF, this situation wouldn't have come up if he hadn't destroyed the Pegasus since the Galactica (and probably Adm Adama) wouldn't have survived New Caprica.

Have you heard of the expanse

It has, it's called The Expanse! ^_^ It's streaming on Amazon Prime as we speak!

The scene where Galactica flies toward the Sun and the scene where Babylon 5 is self destructed gets me every time.

The lore for the Mk II Jupiters (according to BSG: Deadlock) is that they cut corners due to scarce resources, which also left some of the drawbacks of the original frames present in the newer version. Not to mention they had to repair her as fast as possible after surviving atmospheric reentry and slamming into the Caprican Ocean during the First Cylon War.

Let’s give her death a fighting chance to live again! So Say, We All!

Sure would be a bitch to build another ship while on the run.

@@usul573 Agreed 👍, yet when they arrived at Earth, build a ship yard on the Dark Side of the Moon, with enough Raptors and other ships, a few humans build a tougher Galactica, salvaging the best of the old and explore the Sol System… How else would they know about Mercury, Venus, Mars, and other planets?
