Battlestar Galactica | We Are Not Worth That! 

Yeah, that the dumbest part of the later seasons, the final five arc was so fucking dumb.

@@TheKeyser94 was not dumb at all.

Nice pfp, dude.

All these characters grew sooo much over the series.

well, it was her best shot - deflect deflect deflect

Nope to controversial lol

The show was great in the beginning, but in the late Season 2 and the last two season, went downhill with stupid plots, like the Final Five arc, and Kara song, and the over exaggerated soap opera, that goes nowhere, sure, we get it, Kara is damage, Kara is broken. But is really necessary to get it that far? Even in the original Battlestar Galactica the melodrama was tone down even after all the tragedy, sure, the main protagonist not may had the happiest ending, but at least was way far better than the ending of the reboot that made everything meaningless, pointless.

I know right!!?? Where are they already. Star Trek Picard? Blegh. The Expanse? ...ehhh. Where THIS. I need this sort of television again. Maybe we'll never get it...

Working on a book. It’ll be a long time before it comes out, and I’m not sure if it will ever be made into a show, but it’s something, right?

no, I like a show with plot twists and everything but the only good thing about this version of Battlestar Galactica was the space battles. the rest is just confusing garbage

That's a bit much. He's definitely up there though. It helps that he's one of the few candidates with the acting chops to hang with Patrick Stewart.

Amos got a better character and script writers, it took Stewart awhile to find his footing as Picard, Amos hit the deck running with Adama, he was a flawed hero archetype but he did amazingly.

@@Elthenar sorry, but adama blows picard out of the fucking water. the situations he needs to navigate, constantly, while still keeping his integrity (for the most part) are a whole different caliber.

@@jenshep1720 That applies in reverse too. Adama was a grizzled old war horse. Who's paranoia about Cylons and his intractable nature just happened to be invaluable. Picard however, handled a number of situations that Adama would have been ill prepared to deal with. Picard representing Data at the trial to see if he was a real life form was a highlight, Adama was the son of a lawyer but he didn't have the philosophical or technical chops to mount the defense Picard did. Adama would have struggled with many of the things Picard did aside from tactics and strategy. Aside from Picard, Sheridan from Babylon 5 has a stake in this discussion too. As does Sisko.

@@Elthenar that is true, but context matters. any number of starfleet captains could have done picards job. be it sisko, or janeway, or even riker. he wasnt irreplaceable. adama however, was the only one who couldve done what he did. if he had failed, that wouldve been it for humanity. much higher stakes, much different pressure.

I mean, she is a toaster.

Casting for the cylons was so on point.

Sentient artificial person. Personally, I prefer artificial person. - Bishop

@@moffjendob6796 A female toaster, her very existence would probably drive a certain group of red robed technophiles to schism and doom the galaxy.

@@lolroflroflcakes Heretek: Worth it

They definatley are, in Sharon's defense she was kind of a mess at this point, so I would not be surprised if it was intentional.

@@sid2112 I agree with you. It still sucks that it happened.

@@sid2112 I don't know who you are, but I want you to know that I love you.

It's an unpopular opinion but a valid point of view. Adama got away with a lot because the plot demanded it and Olmos was the star of the show. When i think back to the mutiny toward the end of the show I don't think there's any chance i would have been on his side. I speak from having been in the Navy and can honestly say that from the perspective of the lower decks Adama would (by the 4th season) alienated a great deal of the crew and would have appeared a failure, incompetent and even a traitor.

You forget he won back the crew after the cally incident because as soon as the strike was called off he allowed the chief to do as he asked and meet the president, he was never against he crew but he had to make it clear they had to obey orders first and ask for concessions later

@@bathyprobe You realize that the Colonial Fleet isn't the US Navy, right?

Oh? So you know what should be done if the Human Race was down to 40,000 people, you commanded the only military ship left, and everyone was turning to you for protection? Please, do go on, give us your wisdom. How many ships have you commanded in your career? How many battles did you partake in? How many of those did you personally command?

@@Ares99999 I think you are missing the point here. I wasn't offering a commentary on whether or not Adama was right or wrong. My commentary was more about whether or not Adama would have been able to convince his crew (the ones further down the chain that didn't have his perspective or all relevant info) that his plan was the right plan. And the fact that this wasn't the USN and was last military ship would play heavily. In a real navy not following orders has consequences back home... what if there is no home? He would have a hard time keeping people in line if they started to doubt him.... all I'm saying is a lot of people would have doubted him by that point... and I think imagining myself as some red shirt extra I think I would have been one of them.
