Battlestar Galactica | Galactica Tricks The Cylons 

so true

😂

Most underrated comment here…

@@kosh7911 deadass bro

Don't forget his moustache too!

meh it's just another day on Galactica when it starts raining Battlestar's have you built one in Empyrion or space engineer's?

"Where Galatica" The level of...it's somewhere and we are fucked is high.

Hotdog really did come into his own and become the new 'Starbuck'.

@@korbin58 Watching how the rookies became the vets was awesome.

It such a cool effect - another one was in B5 when a Whitestar opens a jump point in Mars's atmosphere

Or absolute suicidal stupidity. Battlestars aren't equipped to handle the heat of passage through the atmosphere.

Galactica's just built different lol. Quite literally. She's a solid-state entity, built like a brick to take punishment in a defensive war; and if atmospheric reentry is classified as punishment? Well, Galactica's built to take it. Hell, notice all the compound curves that Galactica's practically built out of? Curves and arches naturally take stress better than flat planes and hard angles. Now Pegasus? She *definitely* wouldn't have survived.

@@stephenbyrne2170 This isnt even Galacticas first reentry. During the First Cylon War, the Old Lady crashed into one of Capricas oceans and survived with her structure intact!

@LtCWest You cannot be serious man!

@@stephenbyrne2170 No, he's correct. In Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock, which is canon to RDM's BSG, Galactica, while defending Caprica from nukes, gets its FTL drive knocked out, so to escape she's driven into the atmosphere and crash lands into the ocean. She survives, obviously.

One of them for me too.

Balls out for sure. Completely untucked

One of the most memorable scenes alright and I can remember watching it for the first time all those years ago and being so amazed! Even better now in 2021 watching it on the much bigger TVs!

I remember watching this the first time... EPIC!

and Tyrell ist probably thinking "Goddamit who do you think will repair this"

That and the mini-jets of plasma sort of dragged along by the vipers as they are launched.

It does make them look like bullets tho@@danielbuggie591

The CGI on this show was phenomenal. Really the only sci-fi sfx that I've seen that have felt as realistic was the Expanse (That show deserved a *far* bigger audeince than it got) but that was only because the Expanse is more near future (About 300 years in the future tech) whereas BSG where far more interstellar star-trek level spaceships tech. But what made it look so real is just the physics of everything, and how working-class all the crew where. This wasnt a middle-class cruise-ship USS Enterprise. This was the space version of a naval aircraft carrier with overworked and underpaid "sailors" just struggling to make it thru the day. l. It looked like a real spaceship with real people working on it , and that just sold the illusion to me so well.

​@@shayneoneill1506I love The Expanse because it didn't have shaky cameras. BSG used shaky cam and jerky zoom effects for almost everything, which makes the show look incredibly dated now.

when 3 hears it's drones, she knows.

It's mostly because normally one doesn't move without the other, especially after Pegasus got ambushed that one time. Finding the flagship usually means finding its protector as well. And they were partially right, they almost took Galactica out before Pegasus came charging to its rescue.

It's also the name of the show.

@@Mobius_118 Galactica is far more robust and compact on every aspect compared to Pegasus where it is only superior in its armaments and production facilities

@@vitordanieleal Okay? I only said one doesn't usually move without the other, especially their flagship and definitely not after the Pegasus got ambushed. Besides, the Pegasus has proven to be a larger threat to the Cylons than the Galactica since it left the Scorpia Shipyards as a fully functional Battlestar (Galactica was missing a majority of its wartime amaments and only had one functional flight pod) and has since proven that it can brute force its way out of most situations and hold its own without Galactica's support, even when the odds are stacked heavily against it (primary example being when it was ambushed by three Basestars). It's arrival marked one of the few times the Colonials actually went on the offensive with the destruction of the Resurrection ship.

I'm sure that ramming The Colony and soaking up heavy AAA fire for five minutes didn't exactly help a bunch, either!

@@colormedubious4747 true that

All of that and the many jumps during he series start. They were jumping every 33 minutes for a long time. Jumping was incredibly hard on ships. Galactica had rotting bones basically and still she took all of this stuff years AFTER she was passed the end of her service life. A true testimony to the strength of her construction. What a absolutely beast.

Im sure taking a nuke at close-range didn't help either ;-) @@BamaChad-W4CHD

@@nicksantos43 oh yeah I had forgotten about that!

And so was the camera man

adama maneuver

The first 4 episodes of S3 is some of the best scifi you can see, even more so when you place the show in it's time - when suicide bombers were killing allies and military in Iraq, and the West were putting people into black sites. Oh we'll just put the colonists in a situation where they feel like that's their only way to fight.

Someone once described RDM's Battlestar Galactica as "the most realistic Sci-fi you can get while still having fun" I think that sums it up perfectly lol

@@xxxCrackerJack501xxx I would argue that the Expanse gets that title, but it sure applies here too

@@Ramschat I think that quote came before The Expanse was made into a TV show, so nowadays yeah it _definitely_ earns that title over BSG

@@xxxCrackerJack501xxx Ah, that makes sense then!

But we can agree that these are the top two, with the closest competition at least 12 parsecs away.

"This is the Admiral. All hands, brace for turbulence." ...Nuff said.

Hotdog is all grown up.

Standby... JUMP

They wanted to give Olmos' kid a memorable, low-key line after the one his dad had...

He also said that before he contracted an STD

Adama Maneuver > Picard Maneuver

@@Wicked_Sushi Both? Both. Both is good.

Pegasus: you can’t drop a BattleStar into orbit launch vipers and then jump out. Galactica: hold my fracking beer.

​​@@ryans413Hold my frakking Ambrosia.

The internet never forgets. It will always be here with all its badass glory!

Made George Lucas look like a child reciting for his betters...Moore and Eick.

So say we all.

Every time this scene pops up in my suggestions I watch it. Its the rules.

Galactica has to have some form of artificial gravity. It doesn't have a gravity ring, so artificial gravity has to exist.

@@chrisdefresne3235 i often see this one misused but uh that's an r/woosh, buddy plus a ship doesn't necessarily need a centrifuge ring to generate gravity, acceleration from the engines can provide thrust gravity without the needle that. that's not the case with Galactica, but other science fiction shows like The Expanse use that method

@@concon09090 They use the thrust to orient the gravity in The Expanse vertical along the spine of the ship.

@@chrisdefresne3235 I Yeah dude, that's what I said

He generates the gravity with those balls of steel he has. Rumor has it they had to reserve a compartment in the starboard side of the ship for their gigantic size.

He uses a wheelbarrow.

He'd make a poor rogue, with them boys clanging together all the time

My favorite part? When he taught the rooks calculus.

why do you think Galactica fell like she did

He's got a big Battlestar to haul them around in.

Something I love is that Tigh looks up prior to the ship jumping in. I don't know if it's a slight directing error, or if we're supposed to think Adama let him know the plan ahead of time, but I like to think Tigh evaluated the situation and realised what Adama was about to do just before it happened.

@@LabradorIndependent I know right. It all appears so accidental, like he doesn't know what else to do in that instant but glance upwards, and happens to see that flash high up in the sky.

@@brandonthesteele It feels to me almost like he's offering up a prayer to the Old Man for salvation, only to have that prayer answered in the most spectacular fashion imaginable.

@@LabradorIndependent "Well, we got this far, now it is your play my old friend. Wait, what play was that exactly?" He looks up. "No frakkin way....." and then Galactica appears. Yeah, Tigh would put the numbers together and figure out exactly what Adama was going to do.

Bro knew his bestie was coming for him. Adama delivers.

"on your left"

Well. Sometimes you gotta roll the hard six

@@endgame1222 so say we all

"Risk is part of the game if you want to sit in that chair" -Captain James T Kirk

"Who dares, wins."

Nothing will for a very long time music too

Amen! This scene, Empire Strikes Back asteroid scene, and Halo 2 Anniversary "Return to Sender" Are my top three.

I'm getting my men.

@@wellendowedplatypus9024 YES

There's a number of scenes in The Expanse that really make New Caprica work for that top spot, and may just stand beside it. Even in the first episode, the flip and burn scene is utterly jaw-dropping.

Tbh, I preferred Galactica straight after watching the miniseries

@@mateuszjokiel2813 For me, this is when it joined the likes of Babylon 5, Farscape, and The Expanse. Truly one of the all-time greats. So say we all.

The Adana maneuver!

_teleports behind you_ Nothing personnel, toaster

@@ReptilianLepton Thats the BSG version of Creed pulling Baneblades and Titans out of nowhere

*immediately drops multiple racial slurs*

I like Hot Dogs line well this outa be different lol

Truth, they really did bottle lightening with this show. I rewatched part of it recently, it's still amazingly good.

Kirk would approve 😂

Greatest of the greatest ;) So say we all !

@Join me on GAB at: JackTanner Without a question, why are you even comparing those two ?

@@echo0123 So say we all

@Join me on GAB at: JackTanner That battle as a whole is GREAT. This clip is just an AMAZING moment from an even more AWESOME battle

​@Join me on GAB at: JackTanner I asked you why are you even compairing? Your answer is not even an answer... well end of discussion there, since for discussion you need more than one person.

This is Adamas style of Leroy Jenkins the whole Problem

And a few "Pew, Pew, Pew's" as well.✌️🖖

move!

According to BSG Deadlock, if I'm correct, Galactica was converted into the Mk2 Jupiter battlestar after the grounding.

Wow, I didn't know about that icy planet, great stuff. Also it works really nice with the changes to Galactica through the series as her plating gets more cracked, battered, dented and scorched.

Do you know where I can read these? I tried to find them before but couldn't find anything

That's one way to deliver a payload.

wheres the souce on that fam?

I interpreted it as Adama giving more buffer time for the vipers to clear Galactica’s FTL field.

​@3M8RY0 yeah, but if your looking to make a statement, then doing works.

But at the same time, battlestars were designed to take direct hits from nuclear bomb blast and just shrug them off. No doubt, with no place to go for maintenance and years of being attacked, the Adama maneuver, and an unknown number of hyperspace jumps, it just all added up and the Galactica eventually failed like any warship would.

Ditto.

if you havent seen it you should watch Babylon 5. its the original and better version of deep space 9
