Battlestar Galactica: Battle of the Tylium Asteroid - Spacedock Battlescape 

and when he sees the conveyor: "oh...don't do this lee", because he knows he is too hot headed to not do it

Yeah. Really sympathetic character, and good performance from Bamber.

The first few seasons are frakin' amazing, they start to get very fuzzy after that but still good.

You shouldn't need to be told.

It's one of the finest television shows ever. You won't be disappointed.

@@jaredloveless I actually disagree but I respect your opinion! To me the first few seasons are more accessible, the episodes more enjoyable as standalones and easier to digest (although still very gritty). For me the final 2 seasons represent a change of pace but still a staggeringly brilliant show, for me it's actually the last couple of seasons that elevate Battlestar to my favourite TV show of all time. It's much more about the mystery of cosmic forces at play, a questioning of spirituality, a comment and reflection of how time and age affect us all, the ones we love and even the things we love (Galactica) and how precious the gift of life is. It also creates really fascinating questions of how friendships and allys can shift and how it's possible to be an outcast within your own people (Cylon Civil War) especially when a religion or spirituality is involved. The reveal of how the cylons came into being and the explanation of who the final 5 cylons are is one of the best reveals/story conclusions in Sci fi history to me, it all joins together so beautifully and there is a confirmation of a spiritual/cosmic element all along with the storyline of Kara Thrace. The ending is the most satisfying and fulfilling of any show I've ever watched. I dunno man I can't even put into words how brilliant the final couple of series were I think they are actually more standout than the first two, though I'll admit the early series are easier to digest and more fun! I finished my 4th watch-through of BSG a couple of months ago and I was just blown away by what an enjoyable and genuinely reflective experience it was for me. So yeah I get where you're coming from, respect your opinion, but to me it's perfect! My favourite show of all time hands down.

yeah you should

My other favorite was Ragnar station, but it's not that complex of a battle.

I apparently need to buy some movies

I know your post is several years old, but just wanted to post that I’ve recently started rewatching the series, starting with the mini-series, on the Peacock network. You can watch it with commercials for free, or ad free for something like $10 a month

So say we all

As a non-supporter (sorry, but I can't) I can fully understand that decision. No worries! :D

+That Guy the should do the first engagement in the battle of sigmus Octanus 4. The engagement where commander Jacob Keyes preformed the 'Keyes loop' destroying a covenant destroyer and 2 frigates, forcing the last ship, a carrier to retreat

Please make it happen space dock as it wouldn't take too long as all the information is detailed between chapters 16 and 18 in the book halo: the fall of reach

More than fair to your Patreon supporters! (Non supporter here!), thanks for the clarification!

Aww! Well, that's fair.

Isn't the resurrection only applicable to the human-model Cylons?

no in the "Scar" episode Athena told Starbuck that even the raiders are resurrectable

They indeed resurrect fallen raiders, it can be of use their battle experience and in the case colonials try a similar tactics they can counter attack

But it still cost them resources to build new 'bodies' for them. Dead Cylon is a good Cylon.

@@odisseusrh Scar was spooky. Raider that had died so many times it had a real grudge against colonials. Like a wraith.

Yes, a few hundred raiders against a Battlestar is not a fair fight.....for the raiders.

@@Pwnstared I mean, most other vessels would be fracked, but a battlestar has so much flak they don't even need to aim to stop most missile strikes, they just make a massive field of shrapnel and explosions and call it a day.

@@megan00b8 The downside of the battlestar is to put up this flak field, they have to sacrifice almost all their offensive capability.

@@Debbiebabe69 Not necessarily, the Jupiter class battlestar has multiple sets of weaponry that can be split up into two main groups: broadside flak batteries and topside heavy artillery. While the heavy artillery can give a nice boost to the flak field when using proper munitions the smaller batteries can keep it pretty solid as well. The field can be also somewhat directed as the flak batteries (quite obviously) have a wide firing angle, and so it can be concentrated more to provide better protection against single opponent or spread wider if the attackers come from multiple directions. And while the flak guns hurt small vessels quite badly, you're not really giving up much firepower if you use only the main artillery against something with better armour like basestars.

Thanks! I was wondering where I knew that from. 😀

You know during that scene I wouldn't be surprised to have Apollo mentally going, "Okay Time to pull a starbuck!" Because that is totally something she would do!

I felt the same!

I think all pilots are officers automatically in bsg. So for a pilot its likely a low rank.

Do you mean rapport?

Report? Yeah all of these Spacedock episodes sound like what I imagine military breifing/debreifings sound like.

Given the nature of their jump drives, Sol could be 12 or 12,000,000 light years from Kobol and it would take the same amount of time to get there. The trick is knowing where it is and accounting for stellar drift and the differences in stellar velocities. (It's possible that after 150,000 years, Kobol is now at the other end of the Milkyway)

also one guy gets to deal with 8 because not everybody is lucky.

Sorry I did not see your note there. Still, you have created an awesome channel with very original content. I hope you get the support you deserve!

Go patreon!

Not a lot of analysis on that one beyond, The Federation Got Mercilessly Slaughtered

the length of any video describing the battle would be longer than the battle itself

The Saratoga, a refitted Miranda, charges in phasers blazing. An Excelsior, said to be the Melbourne in a video game, is slightly ahead and is destroyed by a combination of tractor beam and cutting beam. Saratoga is locked in a tractor beam. A Nebula and Ambassador charge in with phasers. Saratoga suffers critical damage to its lower saucer from a cutting beam and issues an evacuation. An Oberth is destroyed near the Saratoga by a pulse weapon. Saratoga is destroyed by a cutting beam miraculously only after a full evacuation. Further data is missing but likely that remaining fleet including the Tolstoy and Kyushu were easily destroyed as well. Reports from the Voyager inform that survivors were assimilated.

Agreed! I really want another episode for this series. It is awesome!
