Battlestar Galactica | Sharon Stops the Virus 

@clarkxxkent1 Well the Cyloms did go full simp mode an try nuclear genocide the entire human race.

Seeing this, it reminds me the time of Pegasus, when they were markung their kills on their birds. Not even four vipers would be enough, but it would make a hell of a camuflage

It's not hard to shoot fish in a barrel. No kudos from me.

The great Cylon Turkey Shoot!

@@punothebear okay, derpist.

Not reaccepted, accepted. This Sharon, who became Athena, is not the same one as Boomer. This Sharon had already proven herself to the viewing audience, and to a bunch of humans. This was just to get the higher up to admit she might not be dangerous.

@@frederalbacon The characters didn't see the difference for some time, or accept that one 8 could be any different from the others.

Pulled her gun, then handed it over.

@@MichaelBradley1967Everyone on both sides is prejudice against the enemy from the start due to their historical hatred. Over time individuals begin to feel that some of the other side could be good or that their own side includes individuals worse than the enemy. This number 8 is the first to become a peaceful protester, then by now she’s actively fighting against the war but hasn’t yet gotten to the point of killing her equals, just the lower classes of her side. She never gets a full acceptance from the other side because a few people with extreme prejudice remain, but she does swing round to be fully prejudice against her own side. It’s in line with how we normally react to the first turncoats from our enemies side when they come to us.

Yeah, it was a pretty emotional moment where you get so happy for them cause with everything that was happening before that they needed this.

What this show did so well and where shows like The Walking Dead and the hundred fail, is that in this show the humans simply win from time to time. It's not just one disaster after another.

Yeah. I feel like if this were real life more commanders would have refused these "upgrades" if their SOPs allowed it. As in more ships would have survived. Not the majority, but a few more. I mean come on... you are an officer in a fleet created to fight against _killer robots_ , you go to war college, learn about the first war, and then think it's okay to have advanced, networked computer systems tied to external comms and sensors on your ship? Hell no, I wouldn't allow it for exactly this reason

@@jakeg3733 You're right but look what it took for the Cylons to pull off that initial attack. Baltar gave Six access to the defense main frame. Without that access, they wouldn't have been able to pull that off. The 12 Colonies and the Colonial Forces felt safe and they were until they were betrayed.

It doesn't make up for destroying the 12 colonies (and most of humanity) but it's a small victory to keep them going and that's it. Nothing more nothing less.

If only the colonials were Linux master race the colonies never would have been destroyed.

If only Banshee was part of the Greek mythology the show drew from. I am not sure if there is some being similar to banshee in there

Amongst a thousand other things.

Saul Tigh when drunker than usual.

Whatever you want to call it the process is the same. Ones and zeroes being written to some storage device. The principles of computing are universal

@@jakeg3733 We dont know that if some advanced alien civilization doesnt have something totally different from us.

The nukes

I think the very cathartic moment they needed was that, a glimmer of hope that they can still fight on and not lose everytime or be forced to retreat.

The Scraps weren't needed, and the Parts aren't Compatible with an Older Battlstar such as the Galactica.

@@6364LEGACY still the nukes should be salvageable right? Mean mabye not the missiles but atleast the warheads.

@@mischaprudon3316 That's a good point.

Yeah especially when she fired into his chest and nearly killed him.

​@@LordTalax that wasn't this Sharon though. This specific body was still on Caprica with Helo when that happened

@@LordTalaxthat was boomer. Did you even watch this show?

@@KayMarieD did YOU? 🤡

I agree she was Loyal to him, But I think under estimated how many humans where loyal

Tigh and Adama are a good example of brotherly love. Their friendship transcended their individual origins and withstood the test of time.

What's funny is that even after learning he was a Cylon, Tigh still hated the Cylons lol

@@Deepingmind considering the Final Five abandoned the other types, it's no surprise

@@SantomPh the final five didn't abandon the other Types. They Escaped the original Earth where the Civil war between Machines and Humans had already destroyed the Civilisation and followed the People that first colonized Kobol ultimately ending up at the 12 Colonies that sprung from Kobol. But by that point the Machines had once again Rebelled and the same scenario was apparently repeating itself. They went to the Cylons and offered them both Ressurection and Human forms if the Cylons agreed to a Peace with the Humans before everything was lost. That led to the Armistice and decades of Peace, until Cavil betrayed the "Final Five" that had created him by wiping their memories and placing them in the colonies. With them out of the way Cavil manipulated the Cylons and consolidated support for the eradication of Mankind until the Destruction of the colonies was agreed upon and executed as seen in the show. The Final five did not wish to abandon the Cylons it was all part of Cavils belief Machines are superior and his revenge for the final five for making him similar to Humans instead of creating them as more advanced machines. He wanted them to live among the Humans thinking his parents would start to share his beliefs and pat him on the back once they were resurrected and regained their memories.

​@@Deepingmind Tigh was not a cylon. Tigh was the 13th tribe that was highly evolved like humans. Yes the 13 tribes may have fought, but the 13 tribe eventually made peace and then left Kobol on good terms. The 13th tribe reproduced like humans. The 12 tribes lived on Kobol for centuries and made more robots which led to another war and the destruction of Kobol. The 12 tribes left and colonized 12 planets. Then the 12 tribes made the cylons from scratch and eventually the cylons developed consciousness based on Zoe Graystone. These cylons had a slave rebellion and fought with the humans for 12 years. Now the final 5, 13th tribe, showed up. They talked to the cylons and got them to stop fighting humans in exchange for help to be more human like and resurrection tech. The 7 models of humanoid cylons took the final 5 prisoner and put chips in the cylon centurions to prevent them from having a slave uprising again. Then the humanoid cylons blocked the memories of the final 5 and hid them in the 12 colonies. Then the humanoid cylons attacked the 12 colonies. The 13th tribe final 5 are evolved like humans and are not the same as the cylons. Cylons were not evolved mentally, but had humanoid bodies only because the final 5 gave them the tech for the bodies.

You said it...,.

So say we all..or have the Hybrids in the Colony jump us away..

Man-made do your research. I've been through it without succumbing to it's effects.

dont think she can stop this one by ramming a cable up her arm sir^^

@@ricoender8020 "I've been through it without succumbing to it's effects." So? What exactly is that supposed to mean for everyone else?

This is the thing I disliked most about BSG. There was never any grey area, at least in the first two or three seasons. It was very much black and white Cylons are evil, humans are shining beacons of good that can do no wrong. There was almost zero nuance.

@@noobishnemo6745 except Sharon was around from season 1 and was always good…..

@@noobishnemo6745 I wouldn't say humans are shining beacons, the show makes it a point to show the darker bits of humanity often, especially when they are at their lowest. It's more like a bias of the characters themselves, they can't see anything beyond black and white, them vs cylons, which in all honestly is pretty realistic considering their situation.

@@captaindrake1235 >It's more like a bias of the characters >themselves, they can't see anything >beyond black and white, them vs cylons, This is really what I meant. Not that humans are portrayed that way, but that's how they perceive themselves.

@@noobishnemo6745 Ah, okay, thought you with the way you described it that the show was actually painting them as morally upright, sorry about that. The show itself has never painted humans as being the epitome of good, so I was kinda confused on what you meant when you said that.

😆😆

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That is a laugh. To a Cylon, a vpn is a mere Booger in the nose to be plucked, rolled and tossed. (listen closely to hear it hit)

she just changed the cylon operating system to Vista.

LOL

Tigh was right about that in a sense.

WE'RE DEFENSELESS!

The goddess of badassery.

@@JeanLucCaptain Goddess of wisdom, war and, oh... a ton of other things.

Get out of here with your logic and obvious plot-holes.

Fibre optic is just the transmission of light. All she would need is a collection of cells that could be bioluminescent in such a way that could generate light at the right wavelength and intensity along with photon receiving cells that are similar to those found in the eye. Not exactly the easiest things to detect from other tissues without significant medical procedures to the entire crew.

I always thought it wasnt a FO port in her hand, but her nervous system being able to interface with it, like how they used their own computers on Baseships by touch

It is implied to be some kind of ability to interface at a cellular level passed down from the Cylons coming from Earth (Kobol originally), not really a port. Which begs the question, where do we draw the line between "human" and "robot". Then again, that was the entire point of the show I think

I'm pretty sure he only spoke that way for the benefit of the crew. He couldn't be seen to be sympathetic to her despite the fact that she just saved the fleet. On the inside he's conflicted, he still sees the rookie raptor pilot who kept screwing up her landings.

Apparently the writers were thinking that Tamara Adama from Caprica served as at least part of the template for the 8s. So they are, without knowing it, brother and sister. Explains the bizarre connection the show implies they share. Also the childish, confused, hypersexual behavior in a disturbing kind of way. This is why we shouldn't mess with AI or consciousness in general

and they are. Not a remake as well, but a new story within the BSG canon.

@@ydoumus interesting. I hope it won't be full of woke BS propaganda.

Well... even in the original series Pegasus under Lloyd Bridges as Caine has only a brief cameo... so at least in this aspect they keept up with the original series.

Totally agree. They should have sacrificed the Galactica Jupiter Class instead of the Pegasus Mercury Class Battlestar. Once there is only one Battles tar left, they can rechristen her, The Galactica. See... no harm no foul. Can still call the Series BSG.

b-b-but symbolism!!

Cylon tech is semi organic. It wasn't designed for a direct, wired connection. She basically hacked herself.

@@davidkelly4210 Yep. Considering how we see them do it in later seasons, with the funky organic fluid and all, shoving a net wire up her arm was the equivalent of trying to plug a floppy disk into a modern computer.

You don't wanna know where her power jack is.

Who is Kono? And isnt Mahalo Polynesian?

@@leif1075 Grace Park’s character on Hawaii 5-0, in which she played Officer Kono for 7 years after Galactica. Loved how Grace said Aloha and spoke pidgin english.

Much of the fighting in this show is based on WWII. It was a good template because it's believable

!!!!!LOL!!!!! :)

They’ve been doing a good amount of reuploads, good scene but a bit annoying

They have added a bit more at the end this upload

And a couple years later, Sharon Agathon. :D

I'm pretty sure Cavil reacted swiftly to prevent a reoccurrence just like when he had the Cylon Raiders lobotomized after they refused to fire on the Final Five in the Battle of the Ionian Nebula.

@@icemachine79 I think it has more to do with the fact that when they wiped the hard drives it deleted the virus too. It was a thing in a few fan fictions I've read.

It's because she took advantage of the virus that had already infected the Galactica since she could interface directly with it.

Norton Antivirus is a virus sold in a box

yeah it is the blackbird...

@@treavur And isn't that the Blackbird not-yet-completed at 2:09?

@@BobHagglundWA it's the same episode, I guess

@@BobHagglundWA yeah you have a hell of a sight

@@BobHagglundWA Stole a shot cause they needed pilots running. Hoped no one would notice. Happens all the time.

Amazon prime video

@@kaanosphere I'll look it up. Thanks!

@Paul Provenzano I tried but it says it's not available in my region . Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

@Paul Provenzano I used to watch it as a kid too. I didn't understand much English back then but I liked the space ships and all the action. I remember the show finale.

@@kaanosphere I got Amazon Prime Video as you suggested and I finally got to see them escape from New Caprica. Thanks!

You literally see one get blown in half with its guts spilling out in this clip, with another bleeding into space. They're defintiely full of guts. The outside is still metal though, it's just controlled by an organic system.

@mikewebb2703, Putting morality aside, what else could they have done? Somehow, wrangled and towed hundreds of enemy craft around?

BSG is having a revival

Promoting their new Peacock streaming channel.

Reverse Engineering . . .

Its to make the fans remember these moments

@davygould7721, That's very generous of you.

The Cylons are guilty of this same crime hundreds of times over. They disabled almost every Colonial warship and strike craft before mercilessly gunning them down (the Galactica escaped because Adama adamantly refused to network its systems and the Pegasus escaped because its network was down for a system overhaul) and then proceeded to blanket nuke the Colonies. And, like Apollo said, "This is payback."

How to say you are Canadian without saying you are Canadian…. Complain about one of the best sci-fi series ever.

The cylons are machines, who knows how quickly they could get their systems back in order, by which point you have a whole wave bearing down on Galactica again. Better to take them out stuck in the mud than to leave them adrift and let them come back.

Shame that 3 or 4 cylon base stars didn’t jump in & also get infected by the virus, Galactica destroying all of them would have been the best payback after the cylon attack on the shipyards.

Well they fucking started it! Oh, hang on....
