Battlestar Galactica | Pegasus and Galactica Destroy The Resurrection Ship 

Just a detail, I think it's called electronic warfare.

@@TehAntares can you tell me the tittle of the music where the breed ship is destroyed this music is wonderfull

Another thing is, the Baseships are firing everything at Pegasus. That was a desperate move to remove the bigger threat, the one that was prepared for them, instead of a more squishy target like Galactica and remove some DPS of the battlefield

@@TehAntares ECM = Electronic CounterMeasures

@@chrisstrijbosch9318 it's a variation of bloodshed from season 1

The shaky cam doesn't get enough credit either.... ugh

I was thinking the same thing too. Every time I see Battlestar Galactica with the Pegasus especially this episode, we went to a hotel just to watch this episode because are cable was turned off.

The effects are super, but I'd be more impressed if they had made them a little more scientifically accurate. C’mon, in a total vacuum with a leaking suit he’d be frozen instantly. The designers should have had the flight suits inflate upon entering a vacuum, to maintain the pressure inside the suit and prevent all of the pilot’s cells from exploding from the pressure imbalance - that is, if the body heat isn’t immediately sucked away first and the cells burst from the water content freezing (as they showed Cally after being airlocked by Tory).

To have the gall to remake a cheesy 70's scifi series and turn it into this show, is beyond vfx.

@@joetoh6675 "C’mon, in a total vacuum with a leaking suit he’d be frozen instantly." No this is definitely not how it works in space, there's medium to conduct heat away efficiently. It would take a long time to lose all that heat. What you are proposing is sci-fi made up stuff, not what they showed.

Adama is a model of professionalism and coolness under pressure. Loved the way the actor played the role

@@jonathanlee5314 yea E.J.O was perfect fit for the role of Adama. Visually as by his acting..... in my eyea he IS the best incarnation of this character.

Jefferson Davis had a young son who died during the American Civil War. He grieved for one day then went back to work.

@@jonathanlee5314 Your talking about LT. CASTILLO from Miami Vice mehn.

It was in fact Foch

That was the awesomeness of Pegasus, it’s electronic warfare capabilities matched a baseship. Sucks that she was sacrificed.

Yes! Yes! Oh no!

spawn camping

Lol The next death was permanent. They said they hated dying but were fascinated what real death was like, because the hybrids always uttered poetic lines about it.

Such a brilliant show

Spawn kill

Yep. Even galactica a 50 year old ship still ripped the Basestars to shreds.

This battle showed what they could dish out, but the Battle of New Caprica showed what they could take. Though I much, much prefer the cinematography of this one ✌

A Battlestar was basically like a battleship with an air wing. Even today, an Iowa-class battleship would obliterate ANY enemy ship within the range of its guns -- and with missiles even further away.

@@WilfredIvanhoe Although true, when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor their real targets where the carriers. They just happened not to be in port at the time because they failed to realize one thing. When tensions are high, carriers are at sea. Ships such as the Arizona were targeted because they were available targets. By the end of the war Japan didn't even want to send any heavy ships to sea, because regardless of their combat capabilities, they were still sitting ducks to the allies fleet options. But to be fair, a battlestar is a carrier and a battleship. It was designed to take on both roles. The two side wings served two purposes. landing bays for the fighters and platforms for their main weapons. By putting them on the wings, you make the wings the key target in a attack and not the core parts of the ship. And that was the thing also about the battlestars. They were floating repair stations in space. If you follow the logic of the literature produced about them, the bulk of their size was devoted to repair and production facilities. If given enough raw resources they each could build replacements for anything lost. Could they build a complete battlestar? That question was never addressed as it was impractical to do so while fleeing the cylons. But I really do think, if given enough resources and left stationary, a battlestar could in fact build its own replacement if given enough time. It is like the military in WW2. Every base and every structure was mirror images of themselves in the US. Why? because the construction units all had the same plans to build from. A barracks built in England would be identical to a barracks built in The Philippines. Same logic applies with battlestars. If you need to replace an I-beam, and you can produce it, what is preventing you from connecting several I-beams together and making the backbone of another battlestar?

@Fabian Kirchgessner no, 1 of the most and another that was the best 30 years earlier. Base stars had a massive weakness in only using missile technology and having no missile defense, the colonials would always win as flak fields would shoot down missiles and raiders and then base stars had nothing else to attack with.

@Fabian Kirchgessner still much better than the cylons with no missile defense. Also battlestars had other weapons so if missiles were shot down by raiders they would have other means of attack instead of the cylons not having any conventional weapons other than missiles.

@Fabian Kirchgessner ironicaly, the galactica was about to get retiered beffore the cylons attack. This just say how stupidly powerfull those ships are.

TBF, the Pegasus and Galactica represent the apex of Battlestar design for their respective eras.

@Fabian Kirchgessner Technically the galactica wasn't "the most powerful". It was a Relic. But effective because of its outdated systems. Pegasus in the other hand, was top of the line. Their front guns obliterate a basestar in 2-3 salvos. And no surprise, the basestars were designed to work after crippling the normal operations of ships and worked more like bombardment positions than direct ship to ship.

Relax. It's a show.

@@GoLakers3900 I'm not sure where I implied it isn't a show? Do you have an argument against my statement?

@@MatthewBanks100 You started off with, "Gawd,..." hence me telling you to relax.

@@GoLakers3900 so, you concede that at no point did I argue this, in fact, was not a show? Where is it implied that I am anything but relaxed in my remarks?

@@MatthewBanks100 The point is, there's nothing to get upset about over a show. You're a touchy fella. I didn't mean to touch your defenses. Sheesh...

Agreed, I miss this show. It didn't last long enough.

@@GoLakers3900 Yeah, no sound would be boring, but the muffled sound was a reminder that there isn't sound in space. Kind of the best of both worlds. Also, if you're in a ship, you'd hear your ship firing even in the vacuum because vibration through the hull. No show is perfect, I didn't like Starbuck disappearing or the ending, but overall the show was good. If you don't like the show that much, why are you here?

@@beayn Was the camera view inside the ship that was firing??? Those were long shot fo the fight scene where we heard the "pew pew pew" sound. And what's this talk about having the best of both worlds? That's called science fiction. Pew pew pew. Mind as well watch Disney's Star Wars. Stop making dumb excuses and just say it's another Hollywood show. People like you talking like the BSG is soooo realistic...

@@GoLakers3900 I didn't say it's realistic, that's another discussion entirely. I'm saying it's impressive cinematically, visually, etc. Trust me, I've got problems with the show too, but I was just commenting on how great this particular scene is. Chill out.

@@GoLakers3900 lol 😂 you are so angry about it. Dude, just go away to another channel where you can find something that is completely physically accurate and possible, which is also boring. This is sci-fi, it CAN be inaccurate, this isn’t a fracking documentary. So chill man, or just leave if you think this is so ridiculous. Why would you be wasting your time in first place 🤷‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️

my fav

Fully accurate zero-gravity/vacuum combat maneuvering. Love it.

Love how this "old show" is so far ahead of its time. Star wars never used such realism zero g logic like drifting Vipers.

Deja Vu

A realistic space scene. Newtons first law of gravity on screen.

Both literally and figuratively. Not sure most of the space combat scenes are survivable with those g-forces (oh yeah, forget about the cylons, just basic ACM). I recall some video in the past where someone calculated the g-forces based on the description of the performance of the viper when Starbuck was CAG and teaching the “nuggets” about the viper. From those, didn’t seem to need an enemy, since people would be smeared across the instrument panel. I’m willing to suspend disbelief if they had a mcguffin (like most shows use “inertial dampeners”), but they don’t and just sort of hand wave with a “tough it out”…

Depends on the maneuver, a lot of the shots we see wouldn't actually be all that high G. For example: when they're strafing the res ship they are pointing their nose, but not thrusting against their primary vector significantly. It's also exceptionally hard to do an accurate calculation of G-forces from imagery, since we don't know how fast anything is truely going determining acceleration is equally tricky.

Agreed, it's so sad to see shows like Star Trek: Picard or large parts of Discovery being so lackluster in their special effects compared to these stunning and grounded CGI here.

I was talking to my dad about this. You can tell that while yes, these were people hired for a job, they were also clearly enthusiastic about what they were doing, and enjoyed it. Cgi today might be rendered better, but it doesn't have the same personal feel as this does.

seeing the cylons going to smashed in to space ohhhh shivvers

the name of the music where the ship is blown what music is that wonderfull the titel please

@@chrisstrijbosch9318 It's called Bloodshed it's the last track in season 1

Yes that really happened he was picked up later by an American rescue plane.

I know the story but I hadn't made the connection. That's a great insight. I've heard it said that military veterans consider this show to be a very realistic portrayal of military life even though it's set in an imaginary science fiction world.

Sure...or just a similar idea by an artist. Not exactly a once in a lifetime idea.

@@floodsye dude I'm a writer. I know how it works. sure, you can conjure up an amazing idea from the depths of your imagination, or you can find inspiration in an inspiring moment. And usually you'll find the idea already exists either in reality or in another person's creativity. No shame in that. We humans circle back to the same inspiring universal things.

Shiny? Browncoat?

A befitting comment. Must've been a bittersweet moment for her to see herself decommissioned (as a museum, of all things, as if that wasn't enough message to say to her "you're a relic") after complying with her role. But then like a retired soldier that receives a personal call back to arms, being told "Forget your decommission, we got a job to do". To me that's the moment when Galactica shone the most. It's like she said "Ready when you are, partner" to Adama and outperformed even her younger, ruthless sister. To me it was a manner for her to say "thank you for not giving up on me yet". Then this is the second battle where she shone the most. It was like her spirit reignited, and said "It's payback time" to the basestars and "I'll show you how it was done in my prime" to Pegasus. The last battle where she shone, and the one it was the brightest was the final one. It's like she knew she was aging and when the time came she didn't say "So this is it..." Rather it's like she said to Adama herself: "How about one last showdown, partner?".

@@elementxxrider yep. Well said.

The worst part is that it didn't even get hit by a Cylon. Lee hit a disabled Raptor.

I still don't understand why they couldn't just build a new one

@@themc.kennyshow6585 There wasn't really a point. And the production facilities aboard the Pegasus were better used for recuperating the Viper and Raptor losses the Galactica suffered.

​@@Mobius_118 They could have built a new one. It didn't seem like it took much resources to build one. It doesn't make sense to not make even just 1. I think it was just too powerful against the Cylons that the writers had write it out of the story.

You would think a patch kit would have been in one of those pockets on that suit seeing as how if the suit were in a situation in which the pilot would rely on its protection would likely involve an ejection and possible suit damage.

exactly

Duct tape is a no brainer,lol

Oh yeah. Hell, even Gundam makes a point of having emergency sealant tape in a separate pocket on every vac suit for fixing punctures, cuts and faceplate cracks, and we do actually see it used multiple times.

@@amitakartok yeah, similar thing in The Expanse, it's to the point we know exactly where the patch kit is for every suit: the left chest pouch

it's actually because the cylons didn't learn from their mistake. Although hunting the enemy with hundreds of fighters is good idea. Carriers are easily hunted unless they are supported by other ships. Cylon basestars should have at least had better protection.

@@nowayman1406 Modern Basestars were built under the assumption that the Cylon capital ship force would only need to be a fighter logistics support platform and a missile delivery system to destroy helpless Colonial ships and nuke planets from orbit. Any other capabilities (better Armor, kinetic weapons, etc) were likely deemed superfluous to need during the design phase. In short, the Cylons were putting all of their eggs in the Colonial Mainframe Virus basket, and designed their entire military around the assumption that they would have that key advantage in every engagement of the coming holocaust. In short, they wound up being as shortsighted as their own creators, in their own unique way.

NOT basestars, but baseships.

@@Simeon301091 you really underestimate the newer battlestars, dude. ships like the mercury class trumped the cylon basestars in every way, except maybe fighter capacity (which was offset by much higher fighter quality) jump range and resurrection (for obvious reasons). without the cnp, the colonial fleet wouldve curbstomped the cylons. youre talking about hundreds of battlestars in mass engagements here. plus, the logistical support of 12 worlds, as opposed to the cylons one colony. its not a question of if, but when the colonials would have won. also, the comparison with destroyers doesnt really work. basestars, when they have to fight themselves, still do it at ranges where they are very much susceptible to enemy fire. destroyers today launch their missiles from sometimes thousands of kilometers away. itd be more fitting to say that its a carrier with guns going up against a battleship with a flightdeck.

@@Simeon301091 it may technically have had hundreds of launchers, but they couldnt all be utilized simultaneously, as they were placed on opposing sides of the arms for example. youre talking about maybe a third of the launchers actually being used at any one time. which, admittedly, couldve been solved by simply spinning the baseships, but eh. also, remember the battle at ragnar anchorage from the mini series. the flak field that galactica projects alone had a range of several kilometers, while its main batteries later in the series struck the cylon basestars even beyond that. ill freely admit that the cylons had the advantage as far as information was concerned. their agents had infiltrated colonial society to a fatal level. im not disputing that the fall was inevitable. but we are talking about a hypothetical match up here, where both factions go toe to toe in a conventional war, so some liberties have to be taken. if were just comparing the factions on that level, the way i see it is this: the cylons had a much smaller fleet than the colonials, about one third if i remember correctly. the ships of said fleet were not designed for battle, but to effectively nuke the colonial worlds and fleets, so focus wasnt put on diversified armaments or particular resilience to enemy fire. further, the cylons had only their one colony and probably a few mining operations and a shipyard plus a few outposts here and there (this is pure extrapolation, because in 40 years they had to have built their fleet and mined the necessary materials somewhere after all). on the other hand you have the colonial fleet, which was made up of 120 battlestars (canonically anyway, but practically there had to have been more due to the sheer amount of battlestar groups already) plus smaller combat vessels, like cruisers, battleships, escorts, and so on and so forth. plus the colonial reserves. battlestars were designed with heavy armor and effective artillery, plus sustainability for limited durations of time. battlestars could manufacture their own ammunition from mined materials, and the newer models could even build entire vipers. they had training facilities for pilots as well. battlestars carried ground troops and equipment as well, making them viable to support ground invasions. they were resistant to hacking attempts, and the newer models employed modern technology and it infrastructure to wage war as well. they fielded large viper wings and point defense systems. they were designed to withstand extensive punishment. it took several minutes of uninterrupted punishment from several cylon basestars to destroy even an old jupiter class. when the cylons fought galactica, they stayed out of range because they werent a match for a ship designed for actual blow for blow battles. and now add in the sheer resources at the disposal of the colonial fleet. mining companies, wartime industry, scientists researching better ways to kill cylons and defend against them, constant recruitment lines and new forces to throw into the fray, munitions depots, constant resupply and superior knowledge of terrain because its literally their hometurf and they can fight on their terms, likely extensive satellite networks and monitoring stations, heavily armed outposts throughout the cyrannus system, its really no match. in a conventional war, the cylons would probably be able to inflict some heavy losses through the surprise element and being underestimated by the colonials at first, they could cause great damage on the planets and on the ships with their hidden agents, but ultimately it wouldnt be enough. the models would be discovered and rounded up, and at the end of the day the colonial fleet and the 12 colonies are too big a job for the cylons. they would rebound and that would be the end of it. its as if during the independence movement, america didnt stop at throwing out the brits, but instead tried to attack england itself in retaliation. you cant battle a faction that large if youre that small. unless youre really good, and the cylons werent. not where it matters in a conventional war.

My head cannon is all the fancy spires and buttress like structures are all one big signal antenna complex needed for the download process. It would explain them having a function more than mere aesthetics.

Wasn't it that way in the OG series as well?

@@Interfect727 Didn't know there was a resurrection ship in the original series.

I still think they should have been using energy weapons, not "bullets." Anything solid would be hazardous to their own ships.

Remember: every shot they miss continues on at that speed forever.

​@@badgercdlyonsand space is endless trust me it makes no impact

One of my favorite parts of the show was that they averted the sci-fi trope of laser weapons. Besides the artificial gravity and FTL travel, everything was grounded in familiar territory.

Yes it was a bitter sweet moment seeing many thousands of Grace Parks and Lucy Lawlesses go to waste like that, such a sad sad day.

@@MrBlewvane Like tears in rain.

Now imagine Galactica would be on peak streanght....she was armed down and still plowed through cylons like they are paper xD

How did Pegasus, a newer-model battlestar, get around it? I imagine they found some sort of counter. The theme of hacking the enemy's central fire-control system is something I encountered as far back as 1979 in Stewart Cowley's book "Great Space Battles", where the Lagunans do it to the Terrans (humans). It's not as critical in that story because the humans still have plenty of ships and the homeworlds aren't threatened, but the tactical problem is identical. The human response is simple but effective - go back to the boneyards and reserve hangars for older ships that have no central control to hack. I'd love to see it made as a film or miniseries; the danger is that some idiot might think they were plagiarizing BSG 2004, instead of the other way around.

@@Ensign_Cthulhu pegasus was awaiting her refit (to Baltar's system) in the dock when the Cylon attack So they were able to do a blind jump and escape

Every Season of the show was nominated for Outstanding Visual Effects Emmy's and it actually won them twice even got 1 for sound editing one year. Shame it never got nominations for the acting, but the Emmy's hate Sci-Fi.

BSG holds up incredibly well for a show that is nearly 20 years old.

Why is it that this CGI is still so incredible and CGI like the last Star Wars movie looks so fake?

@@cmbuelow Talent, experience and hard work. Whoever worked on this scene obviously cared about what they were doing.

@@skippertheeyechild6621 it’s the best CGI battle I have ever ever seen and it’s 20 years old. Amazing

Yes and fire and explosions are possible in space as soon gas/oxygen is involved. BSG did a very good compromise between action and realism.

@@robertzimmermann9710 Fire is possible in space, though. Otherwise, how would rockets work?

@@ClockworkGearhead Pretty sure rockets use a type of solidified oxygen. So technically speaking, the rocket is bringing some of her own atmosphere with her.

@@proudamerican183 Yes, they bring oxidants. Just like the ships, filled with oxygen and fuel?

The Expanse takes what Galactica had done so expertly, and takes it to that delightful next level. First time I can ever recall a show taking interception of a target's orbital path and momentum into account, and I LOVE it.

Yeah, for me too. This one and the other great space battle i saw that comes to mind is from a game actually, Freespace 2 ...

@@DreamskyDance Absolutely classic game

and the reason is surprisingly simple: we can follow it. the battlestars are all understood by us way more than any other ship in any other combat ever (maybe the enterprise come close, but even that was just a bridge and a holodeck mostly.) we even understand the basestars as weapns better than most hero ships, and the resurrection ship is also clear and obvious. than the small number if big ships makes it clear what happens, not just visual noise and pew-pew, even the fighters are in limited numbers, mostly piloted by actual characters we all know, ever call in has actual meaning, not just some bs. and of course, we all know the meaning of the battle, not just two fleet meet and than fight happens, both side has costs and consequences. compare this to the most common way of battles: blobs of ships doing who knows what and why?

Colonials: Exactly. The thought that those frakking toasters nearly wiped us out and force us to keep on running all the while makes this battle of us tearing them apart even more beautiful.

This must be the only scifi show they have in Romania.

I personally prefer the Battle of Ragnor Anchorage in the pilot.

@ Lovely, the guy just wanted to express his dedication to the show. Did it good or bad, nvm, you still had to pull him down, right. Because a homo sapiens cannot be a homo sapiens without feeling better over somebody else. Guess it made your day better, huh? P.S. You sure your surname is written with "e", not "u"?

I prefer the expanse

ily

Great catch!

Sounds like a good amount of cylon missiles got through the flak shield so they had to switch to attack mode to shoot them down directly. Too close range for flak since flak is meant for longer range.

This is why I love comment sections.

@@KylewithaK nah the 'attack mode' was an order to fire on the base ships directly. Heres why. When a missile gets too close for flack, the last line of defence is the rapid fire point defence guns, which have no other use. Hence, they would NOT need an order to 'switch modes' as they only have one mode - shoot anything that gets through the flack.

The Hammerheads in Space Above and Beyond had similar movements - granted hindered by 90's special effects.

Imagine if all of these technologically advanced sci-fi futures had rear facing weapons that were controlled by computer? Why are people still "flying" around with front mounted guns and having to aim/fire manually?

In an ep of Star Wars Rebels, Darth Vader actually did just that to 2 pursuing X-Wings.

Let’s be generous. BSG/ST/SW are different universes. The totality of comparing them is irrelevant; the only comparison is what you personally believe and that to no other.

This show is not really old, you are just young...

Oh, lots of Star Wars' battles were more epic in terms of number of combatants, etc. BUT, they weren't as well thought-out or presented. BSG and The Expanse run away with THAT prize.

It's called plot armor. That means that one modern battlestar and that clunker had it in the bag.

@Fabian Kirchgessner Yes; extremely powerful ships which I think is why a toe-to-toe fight was always a lost cause for the Cylons. But I would say at New Caprica, the battle was Galactica and her birds alone for the most part and they seemed confident in dealing with 2 Basestars. It was only then the Cylons got reinforcements that Adama realised they couldn't handle 4 Basestars. I imagine if the Colonial situation was not so desperate then they would have organised a joint strike using both Galactica and Pegasus as they did with the Ressurection ship. If Adama thought a skeleton crew Galactica could handle 2 Basestars then a joint strike with Pegasus can surely pick up the other 2. As it turned out, Galactica barely escaped destruction; but only because Lee jumped into the middle of the battle at the last minute. If they had always planned to do that then I think the outcome would have been very different.

@@matthewjohnson903 Haha! That's very interesting... since it was the skinjob Cylons arguing with each other that ultimately started their civil war and ended resurrection for good. Baltar was stirring it too when he had words with that one Centurion. If the mechanical Cylons got wise they would have just relentlessly kept cranking out more and more ships and Centurions until they simply overun the Colonials with their numbers. If Galactica outruns the raiders and missiles from 1 Basestar... how about 10 Basestars. How about 50... 😂😂

@@GoLakers3900 Haha. It's funny but this is probably the first show I watched without feeling any character escaped a situation because they had plot armour. Of course, they all have it or there wouldn't be a show... that season 1 cliffhanger still gets you good! 😂

@@matthewjohnson903 The question here is, at what point do the Cylons become the Slave Masters they were fighting against? They also seemed to have no idea what to do after they wped out humanity. Sure, they could have colonized the galaxy, even the universe, but what is the point? Even without resurrection technology, if they can avoid being destroyed, they are effectively immortal (as long as spare parts are available).

Tried watching the expanse. The battles there are insanely exciting and tense especially since they ships experience inertia so the crew need to be strapped in and every change in direction is felt with the body experiencing very high Gs... Search " Rocinante saves RazorBack"

@@jaysonm.1598 Agree, I think only The Expanse gets close. I hope PICARD ups the ante for once and we get a DS9 total war style.

*law of motion

@Fabian Kirchgessner honestly i disagree. After the first cylon war the colonies knew the targets , tactics and supply lines of the cylons . they also had far superior weaponry and with actual defence fleets i think the cylons would of been decimated . The issues the colonials had in the first war was it was a suprise and the colonial fleets where still taking shape and relied on alot of old vessles from when the colonies fought each other .

@Fabian Kirchgessner im interested in the 1st world war bcs honestly the design of the cylon ships seems like it was made for this one attack and not for fighting battlestars. So im pretty sure the colonial fleet could have dealt with the cylon basestars quite easily actually. The cylons are heavily reliant on missiles which can be destroyed before hitting target which the battlestars often did throughout the series. The cylon basestars would have stood a chance.

@@Husker5454 No. in the event of war, the cylons had instantly replaceable troops with experience (scar). War over, no mankind

@@sirkuchen1501 If you are interested in the 1st war, there's a turn-based strategy game called BSG:Deadlock, which is somewhat fully canon, let you play out how the 1st cylon war went and why they fought into a stalemate. The writing wouldn't be as good as the show, but the visual and gameplay aspect 100% matches the CGI in the show.

@@hellstromcarbunkle8857 Yeah, but they're only replaceable as long as the Colonials don't start targeting Resurrection facilities and the relatively defensless Resurrection Ships. And judging by how easily the Resurrection Hub was destroyed by a single rebel Basestar, I can't imagine how fast it would be over if an entire Colonial Battlestar Group decided to hit it. Plus, neither of the Battlestars present are at full strength. Galactica is missing most of its crew, armaments, armor, a Flight Pod, and a majority of its full air wing since it was in the process of being decomissioned. Pegasus is also lacking in its air wing and crew since it was in dry dock when the Cylons attacked the shipyards and it was forced to make an emergency jump. That being said, it's likely that the Cylons would focus development on ships more akin to those seen during the First Cylon War (like those seen in Deadlock) which were more durable and had a decent amount of survivability compared to modern Basestars.

Too OP They should have done something that has been done in FreeSpace 1 and 2 The terrans captured shivan fighters and used them for recon missions behind enemy lines

Mmm delta flier

The stealth blackbird was cool but i didnt liked at all that they could create a stealth ship "accidentally".. I mean they litterally had to use carbon composite panels to do the fuselage.. and then they said "oh it sure will be hard to see on dradis" like a total aftertought.. and then it turns it was a massive strategic asset capable of sneaking in the middle of Cylon fleets totally undetected.. if its as simple as coating a ship in carbon panels wich also are aparently much easier to find and produce than regular alloys why they didnt made a few stealth ships for tactical/inteligent porpouses? because after the Blackbird is lost they never ever again bring the topic back.. It would be if today some poor country has to make a plane out of foam board or EPP and it turns out to be stealth accidentally capable of sneaking into heavily defended airspaces

@@danieldorn2927 Freespace FTW!

I know your comment is a year old, but check out 'The Expanse', either the books or the show. Babylon 5, BSG and The Expanse are all spectacular in their own right.

@@DeliciousCornbread you are so right. I have seen all 3 of those shows and enjoy them very much.

I agree. The Expanse also, did an amazing job of battles. As for Babylon 5, it was ok, but the cgi was a bit ropey in my opinion. The Expanse however would stand up to the battle effects of BSG.

Oh for sure! I mean B5 will be 30 years old next year, so it's certainly quite dated back in an era when big budget TV series weren't really a thing. So all things considered, not too shabby. But anytime a Starfury was on screen I was happy! @@Bazbat01

Funny thing, I've watched Sopranos and BSG probably 3 times each from start to finish (replayed them). But I can't make it all the way through Thrones for some reason. (Maybe because the last 2 seasons were so lame compared to the previous seasons. Dunno. I can't quite put my finger on it.) But BSG, I can watch again every few years. That says a lot about it.

Great series except the ending

@@jaffarebellion292 So say we all

It is one of the most brutal series I've ever seen. Also, is brilliant in quality and execution.

plot puncture.. im pretty sure the colonial survival pack must contain patches or some kind of anaerobic glue that can seal off such damage (they had those in Gary Anderson's UFO in the 60s)

Half the reason that Humanity was fighting the Cylons was because the Cylons attacked... the other half was that nobody kills Humans apart from other Humans.

Part 2: I don't understand why Battlestar Galactica wasn't as successful in the world as Star Wars

@@AntonioCarlos-ii6yw Disney star wars is garbage, books however are amazing. and they hit the imagination hard. (although this show is incredible as well)

Then he loses his wife, then he loses Starbuck.

Shame on you. You should own this already 😤 lol

It’s free to watch on Tubi. Though I don’t know how good the video quality is there.

@@Maxphyte should be decent, but full of ads lol

Or internal seals to isolate things like this

$2 DUCT TAPE: Am I a joke to you?

Well, they are not UNN or MCRN soldiers

That's a plot hole, but excused for it is used to give us a great scene of Lee watching the battle from the front row and then his "passing" under water. Both a physical condition and a soul journey. That's what makes the show great, the layers and how they are exemplarily well thought out and integrated in one another. All made possible by the fact that colonial engineers "forgot" to invent a standard repair kit for a leak like that.

It wasn’t part of the story line
