I love the simple evolution in this one scene of how Cain views Adama. She starts out simply treating him like a misbehaving dog. Cute, but ultimately subservient. How her tone changes when she realises he's committed to disobeying, that he and the Galactica stand their ground when pushed too far, unlike her own crew. She's pissed, but also unnerved and a little frightened. If fighting started, regardless of their chances of victory, Galactica is still a significant threat to her ship and crew.

It's perfection. One could argue that the overall premise of the series is too religious or it's a cop out somehow but I'm an atheist and for me it's one of the best Sci-Fi shows out there.. up there with Babylon 5 and Farscape (and Person Of Interest if we count this as Sci-Fi).

@@unclereaper The reason why BSG worked and so many shows that just decide to take your favorite stories and remake them with female characters in most/all key roles is that they gave some thought to making these characters real people and not just another "as-a-woman" who needs to beat you over the head with her womanhood despite it not making any sense whatsoever in universe. Apollo, Starbuck, and Boomer are not the same characters as Lee, Kara, and Sharon, even if those 2003 series characters have callsigns of the 1978 character names. Which isn't to say you can't do the "as-a-woman" character badly. Marvel's Agent Carter did the badassery as a woman _because_ her superiors presumed that a woman couldn't even dream of doing the things she did. And she used it to her advantage. But nobody doubts that Kara or Kat can be an excellent fighter pilot. They have nothing to prove to anyone. Unless it be the proving to themselves which of them is the better pilot (or coming to terms with the fact that they're both damned good pilots.) And since they aren't constantly telling us they have nothing to prove and then trying to prove women can do the job, they can spend more time doing it well. When Hollywood in general pulls their heads out of their asses and figure that out … maybe we'll get more Sigourney Weavers and fewer Brie Larsons. Or not and most of their as-a-woman characters will be STUPID and their stories unwatchable. Their choice.

Oh yeah I swear the president even comments on this saying she assumes the Pegasus would win but Adama cuts back with not counting them out just yet.

She could absolutely destroy the Galactica
@StrayCatInTheStreets4 жыл бұрын
@@gdfgaming97 good point - I read it somewhere, canon resources I think, that the Galactica line of Battlestars were effectively built to last (like tanks) while the newer ones were more offensive orientated. This kinda makes sense, when Lee takes command of the pegasus it's close to being annihilated by 2 basestars, even leaving New Caprica Pegasus doesn't last too long when Galactica has faced similar odds and survived. I don't think Galactica would be destroyed quickly, rather her outdated fleet of birds would be eradicated and she would be disabled then forced to surrender. Adama would then be captured and executed

Oh gods, this whole scene is SO spectacular. The screenplay, the directing, the acting, THE MUSIC, the camera... I feel so attached to every single character that comes on screen - the good guys, the bad guys, it does not matter. This is how the very best TV show is made. At first, Cally is worried about chief's good reputation. Then, in the matter of seconds, the reputation is the least thing at stake. Adama is struck with the terribly bad news and he realizes that he has just a few blinks of an eye to make the right decision. He knows that whatever decision he'll make, it will come for a high price. This moment makes you think what YOU would do; and you realize that not everyone is the natural born leader. Next moment, when the camera decides to examine the feelings of Cally (instead of following the leading character), you can physically feel her rising panic. And you know that RIGHT NOW something irreversible is going to happen. You get waves after waves of chills... The dynamics of this whole scene is just breathtaking. Awesome. Just awesome. I say big THX to all the creators of this fantastic show.

As the conversation continues the camera speeds up and spirals inwards towards the two commanders. As the tension ramps up the camera spins faster and pulls in tighter. You feel the two commanders frantically running through options trying to find a way out. The camera only stops when both commanders are out of options and are committed to a course that seems like it will end in disaster.

@@equivalentexchangeisalie5726 I agree that the Expanse is more plot than character focused, but to me Expanse is a lot more cohesive and rounded. BSG was a product of its time and old TV show tropes, budgets mad eits quality a bit fluctuating (although S4 of Expanse is also a slog). At its ending it also leaned on spirituality more than I would have liked. So the Expanse edges out a bit, especially the books. And I also think that Holden and his crew are more template characters for the readers/watchers sake. But in the "secondary" characters we find complex and intriguing characters like Avasarala, Bobbie, Duarte or Drummer. I also consider the expanse a hard scifi due to it more or less obeying the laws of physics and thus shaping the universe, characters and plot. BSG is more like a space adventure.

@@Mickekzon Product of its time how so? It dealt with very timeless themes. If you mean because of its comparisons to the US war on terror and the war in Iraq, that contributed to some of its best writing. Also, what tropes? BSG was ahead of its time for sci-fi and TV in general. And the show did a really good job with the budget it had. The spirituality aspect was partly due to the writer's strike but you're right. But again better actors/characters elevated the material. Baltar being the head of a religious cult was more interesting then anything an Expanse character even at its best writing ever did. Template characters aka self insert characters meaning they're bland and generic so anyone can place themselves in the role. You just proved my point. The secondary characters are better but still not on the same level of even minor BSG characters like Kat. The genre of sci-fi is down to preference. BSG is hard as well but not completely since it has religious, military and romance themes.
