That Cylon pilot is not only humorous, but extremely cocky. As the Pegasus is headed right for Baltar's ship, the Cylon pilot does not take evasive maneuvers. The Cylon clearly sees the Pegasus, but is also waiting to get Baltar's reaction. Then, receiving his reward of a terrified Baltar, the Cylon turns away from the Pegasus at the last second. Yet, even at point blank range, the Pegasus laser canons miss the Cylon ship (in part 2). The likely reason for this is given in the prior scene when Baltar commands Lucifer to provide him a ship with his two best pilots.

It was clear Baltar was not a victim of the Cylons but clearly a traitor to humanity. I always wondered if he knew that even after accomplishing his goal of beating Adama he'd be executed. I once read that the studios [whichever owns the rights to the franchise] are considering doing a newer version of the series that is different from the reboot is there any new information I can't find anything even concept art is lacking on both versions. Can you also help me possibly on any site that has clear concise photos [for my own personal use] of the studio model? Or is there a detailed CGI model available for download? I don't want to seem annoying so my apologies.

This was perhaps the single greatest moment of the series. It is an interesting note to end on a cliffhanger. Normally, a cliffhanger like that would be when the hero of a show faced sudden or unexpected danger, not the villain. The remake's Baltar may have (literally) been on the side of the angels, but not John Colicos version. Perhaps a fallen angel like Count Ibley, but that's it.

I think what made it a "cliffhanger" was that the Galactica was SUPPOSED to be the LAST and only remaining Battlestar. Damn, Battlestar Galactica sounds so damned cool, the way it rolls off of the tongue. In the original mythos there were 120 Battlestars and I wonder if a bunch of executives in the board room were one at a time practicing phrasing "Battlestar Orion" then "Battlestar Atlantis" and then"Battlestar Epsilon" etc and having to FIGURE OUT which one of the Battlestars had the coolest sounding name until they finally decided on the Galactica. The characters IN the story, both human and Cylon AND the people WATCHING THE SHOW all thought there were no other Battlestars left. Even the SCRIPT WRITERS probably thought that then decided it would be cool to introduce another Battlestar so in order to avoid continuity errors there had to be a back story that established that they were wrong to assume it had been destroyed and a reason why it took so long to reunite with the other surviving Battlestar. If the mythos had not made such a big deal about the Galactica being the ONLY remaining Battlestar then it would not have been as big a deal

I was 13 or 14 when this was on TV and I loved the show dearly. So much did I like the original that it took me years after the new Galactica had been shown before I decided to give it a shot. WOW! The new series was wonderful and more 'Realistic'? and grimmer and I watched the entire series I think in like 10 days. I also love what they did with the Pegasus storyline in the new one as well. I was pissed at first with the decision the new series made on season 3, but it all worked out in the end. Fantastic show, both the 70's version and the newer one.

Humans flew another Raider when Starbuck and Apollo stole one in a different episode and they were almost destroyed by "friendly fire" but luckily Commander Tie (forgot the name, the African American actor) figured out it was them. Thing is, Cylons are ROBOTS so they do not need AIR TO BREATHE but somehow when a human gets into one of the raiders there is LIFE SUPPORT to keep them alive? For Baltar it makes sense, as he was their leader on that mission they would have made ADJUSTMENTS to the ship to keep him alive but the ship Star Buck and Apollo Stole? Pretty damned convenient that it was fully of BREATHABLE AIR and life support systems.....
