Battlestar Galactica | Putting The Fleet Back Together 

I shook the man's hand, and have peaked

I wonder how the cast of the original series would've dealth with this precise story and set of teleplays.

I truly believe the only person who could match Edward James Olmos adama in terms of sheer badassery is lorn greenes adama

Fact!

Tell me about it did not expect it

I didn't care for her character all that much with how quickly she got past the death of Elliott lol. But her suicide was definitely shocking and a sad moment.

I still wonder what little truth she may have found for herself upon setting foot and laying eyes on the burned remains of the planet that was once home to the "Thirteenth Colony of Kobol"

@@Enruler You mean Billy

"Ma'am/sir, should I tell you what you want to hear or what you need to hear?" Hand salute for your aunt.

In my experience, it's not just Navy :)

I served in the Navy. Yes it is true. I was a barber and a good bunch of the officers came to the barbershop to ask me for an enlisted 's point of view. Even my CO and a 2 star Admiral. No lie.

​@The Cat. And while the COB like a SGM is normally who you go to for enlisted matters as an officer, if you want the true pulse of a unit you talk to the platoon Sergeants or the E-4's under them because they are one effecting the doing.

More a "true" answer than a "correct" one.

What makes this scene for me is that she never blinks.

we have had some

So say we all.

@@viewernewest FACTS

So Say We All. Although I would say that we have had a few who qualify. Such as, perhaps, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Dwight D. Eisenhower, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln. I'm sure that there are a few others that would qualify whom I'm just not thinking of right now. The most recent presidents of the United States wouldn't qualify however because none of them would be as willing to de-escalate a situation. GWB wouldn't. DJT ( the Orange Russian owned Tool) definitely wouldn't. WJC's ego wouldn't allow for it. Ronald Reagan most assuredly wouldn't. Neither would Johnson or Nixon: both demonstrably. Jimmy Carter would probably but beyond the Iran Hostage Crisis he wasn't called upon to do so. And BHO although talking a good game wasn't in reality the politician that the media made him out to be and that most people take him to be. He was marketed as, and mostly understood to be, both a democrat and liberal and even somewhat progressive as well as transparent. If you look at his actual record , however, whether it be executive orders or policies or initiatives or accomplishments he was in truth not very transparent, was quite compliant with more conservative agendas, and not only continued but indeed expanded most Bush era policies, etc.

@@wardoc0435 I don't think you gave enough credit to Reagan, and I'm speaking about the man's character not his political affiliation. If you think about it, the Cold War with the former Soviet Union ended because of Reagan, Germany was reunited as one country, and former Soviet states were able to split away and become independent due to the groundwork that was laid after decades of oppressive control.

What I notice in lot of shows nowadays. The Walking Dead, the 100 and some other as well, is that everything always goes wrong. The whole season, every plan they have, it just fails completely. And then in the last 10 minutes of a season, something finally goes right. Before it repeats itself. With a show like this, with a very depressing atmosphere and a race fighting against extinction, many things go wrong and often it gets worse. But then there are these key moments, that just fill you up with hope and strength. I think Battlestar Galactica did an amazing job with things like that.

So say we all!

My favourite sci-fi would be SG-1, Farscape and Firefly, mainly because I enjoy sci-fi as light escapism with a bit of humour thrown in, but when it comes to total immersion and edge of the seat drama I don't think anything ever came close to the feelings I got from Battlestar Galactica. Each episode was like a mini-epic movie where I would get angry when Adama was or would feel exhilarated when Kara was, such a fantastic show.

Dee's courage to call Adama out at this point was tremendous. She was right about his assumptions; that she would listen to him and "had nothing to say." But she showed a different kind of bravery here: telling her commanding officer the truth when no one else dared. Great scene and incredible series.

I always imagined him picturing the two alleyway in front of him as allegory of his future choice. Until he realise that there is another path, the one where he came from to begin with. Every movement he makes during this moment seems to back me on this, but who knows ?

If you watch his eyes, you can see the pain and yearning he has for what Dee described, the fleet, as it was. And he had the power to make it happen

Separate from yet connected too. Mark of a good commander.

Troop? Where'd you learn English?

Well said

@Drew Taylor The show runner was Marine option NROTC midshipman before he got hurt. He uses some terms common among FMF. Grunt is MC term for rifleman. Another, 'Galatica Actual', actual is an infantry call sign for the person in charge of a unit.

so say we all, exactly

So many of those moments. One of my most favorite from the pilot episode was. "Hey! Aren't you Gaius Baltar?"

Shame noone could save her from herself......

@@PumpkinHoard yeah to bad she had a gun and depressions... Probably Lee's fault...

@@schiefer1103 She was head over heels in love with him but knew that Kara was never far from his mind. If she had stuck around they would have been happy together on Earth.

NorfookianJesus Too soon

When i first saw this scene, i expected Saul to look at Dee and give a little nod

@@eschatollog9968 I'm not sure if the Colonel knew Dee had spoken to Adama.

yea its a shame. *i said it's a shame!*

So say we all

There's so many great moments in this show.

@John Smith Tolerant people make you sick, what a radical view point.

@John Smith your comment, juxtaposed with the content of the video, is ironic, to say the least. Do you ever process anything you watch?

I always felt her ending didn't make sense, she was a fighter from episode one

@@dave1994jones I accept that point of view, but I felt like it was more of a, "you don't know what is going on in someone else's head." I too was disappointed because I thought that Dee had her head on straight. But that seems like an underlying part of the show. People are complicated. One can be a hero, then a victim. Dee was heroic until the moment that she was not, but that leaves her a hero overall.

Yeap still can't get over it

@@FinnMcRiangabra I always thought that the thought of Earth kept her going. Earth being a nuclear wasteland broke her, so she killed herself. Like an echo of what Roslin said to Adama when he made the speech about Earth, that people will hate him and that it will hurt many when they find out. Indeed they did.

I was too. To see such a beautiful, strong woman just...gone.

SO SAY WE ALL!!!

So say we all!!!!

THERE IS SOMETHING IN MY EYE, I SWEAR

SO SAY WE ALL.

So say we all.

Not a fucking chance Id ever elect Starbuck, shes a by the books psychopath. Adama/Dualla 2020

They definitely got the age requirement down.

Baltar/Number 6 2020

I mean right after the Orgy, betrayal and Killing everyone.

Officers who are Academy grads don't listen to their enlisted often enough. Mustang officers do because they came up through the enlisted ranks. It is the rare Academy grad officer who actually listens to their senior NCOs.

Biden = Cain (or worse a cylon) Trump = Adama choose your side nugget...

@@jose7391 - You Trump followers sure are delusional. He doesn’t share a single positive quality with the character of Adama, and you’d realize that if you didn’t get your news from your curated silo. But you do, so of course you’re confused.

@@HurricaneDPG gee ned you sound like a white guy, and you feel the need to lecture the Hispanic guy about how "he thinks wrong", you sound like a Klu Klux Klan Nazi Ned, now STFU Ned...Welcome to the world you people created 🖕😂...now sit on it and rotate "Nazi Ned"

@@jose7391 The plain fact that you are telling me to choose a side tells me all I need to know about how Trump has poisoned your mind.

@@nathonkim725 ahhh I can see the liberal brainwashing has really taken hold of you... Do tell do you have panic attacks and cold sweats when you have to decide which bathroom to use do you support pedophilia child molestation genital mutilation and or mass death through depopulation... And you have the cajones to say that my mind has been poisoned, 🤣 you really do need to look in the mirror 🖕🖕

@John Smith Alright youtube keyboard warrior. Youd have a breakdown if your mom didnt wash your cloths for you, the fuck would you know about pressure

@John Smith yup, took the coward way out and went out with a bang.

@@MilkySubstance Amen!

@Drew Taylor lmao chairborne rangers

@John Smith Ritterhaus -Like you could? Life breaks us all, sooner or later.

The actress who played Dee was GOREOUS !!! Especially with them pretty GREEN eyes !!! YUM. LOL.

@@powerbad696 You will get NO argument from me. She is absolutely gorgeous.

@Fabian Kirchgessner Way to play spoiler

John McGee the show’s been ended for years, not really much of a spoiler xD

People screaming spoilers, and yet you guys are still here in the channel full of spoilers. Smh.

@@dominicyu4145 I'm not screaming spoiler.

Sheridan?

Adama was an Admiral, but a Commander during this scene.

Alasdair Gardiner : Which Captain Kirk are you referring to? The original one or the one in the new alternate timeline?

@@timonsolus - Both of them.

@@alasdairgardiner2313 Starfleet had good Captains to. Picard and Janeway are good examples of excellent leadership skills and grater than life posture :)

They would never engage their enlisted personnel like Adama.
