Battlestar Galactica OST - "Best of" Compilation

[@franzhaas5597]

The best soundtrack in television history. I've listened to a lot of sound tracks.And and this really is something. So say we all.

[@Dekerus]

I hate trying to tell people about this show and they just blow it off. I was skeptical about it, but good grief this is probably by far one of the best shows I have seen. SO SAY WE ALL!!!!!

[@ineedmorenaruto]

+Dekerus my sister kept trying to get me into it and i kept saying "being trapped in empty space sounds so boring and depressing". But after hearing some of the soundtrack i immediately watched it and loved every episode!

[@cv2586]

+Dekerus My favourite series. SO SAY WE ALL!!!!

[@Dekerus]

HAHA! Cool guys, I still try to tell people.. ah whatever.

[@cv2586]

Dekerus NO! NEVER GIVE UP! Tell everyone you know about this awesome series! Again, and again.

[@brianwalsh7991]

Although the character development and acting were great, the reimagined BSG had the most unrealistic, contrived plots I've ever seen in my life. No consequences for mutiny, shooting and murdering people and prisoners. No consequences for holding the president at gunpoint. No explanation how a Cylon prisoner could escape her cell and make her way unmolested to the commander's quarters (Cain). And how is it Tory murders Callie on the flight deck and there is absolutely no one on duty? Knowing there are probably Cylons on the ship or in the fleet, they conveniently leave places unguarded when it suits the plot. It was awful and completely ruined this series for me. Adama & Apollo are supposedly loved by the warriors, but that is again completely unrealistic and embarrassingly poor BS that the writers contrived. Let's see, Adama allowed Apollo to mutiny twice, Starbuck once, and for Starbuck to hold a weapon on the president. No real consequences. The pilots would despise him for the double standard. And Apollo? He merely defended the man (Baltar) that most people believe sold out the entire human race and caused a near genocide, but Apollo quits being a fighter pilot to help defend him. Then, of course, we see the warriors all giving him tribute at his retirement. The writers of this show wrote the most horrible, melodramatic scenes in the history of television. Whenever they wanted something big to happen, they ignored the fact that the price of the action would be too severe, so they just let everyone off the hook. Oh, and when Helo sabotaged their chance to wipe out the entire Cylon race? Adama stopped the investigation because he didn't want to know how did it. Right. There is someone under his command he can't trust, someone who committed treason, someone whose actions could have ended the enemy's pursuit of them forever, but Adama cancels the investigation. Incredible. And, of course, the constant use of 20th & 21st Century colloquial Earth terms by people who had never had any contact with earth was another huge embarrassment. It was a juvenile approach designed to entice the non-science fiction audience, and it apparently worked by all the good reviews that I've read about this show. It's too bad viewers watch without processing what they are really seeing. A very promising reimagining was allowed to crash and burn because of the contrived, melodramatic writing.

[@MatheusSilva777]

God! Not even Game of Thrones has a soundtrack that can be compared to this series. It is exceptionally exciting.

[@sickofitall89]

Game of Thrones is a joke , joke made to appeal to lovers of flesh and blood , im not saying i don't enjoy it but BSG is just whole different lvl .

[@edharris2395]

I don't think even think it's worth even mentioning Game of Thrones .. let alone compare it to BSG.. I mean the entire premise is winter is coming, winter hasn't turned up yet but it's still coming, we know winter has yet again not shown up but we assure you it's on it's way.... winter's coming and it will be worse than ever .... look at that winter is here and it lasted three days....

[@gambar]

Dudes! He's talking about soundtracks!

[@christophersmith9654]

Game of thrones did however have it's good soundtrack moments, but very very can compare to the sheer master class which is the Battlestar Galactica soundtrack.HBO's Band of Brothers is another worthy soundtrack.

[@andrewwing5086]

I find this so visceral.

[@NaD-o2p]

[@albertocattaneo4627]

Bear McCreary, ladies and gentlemen... what a great artist!

[@Dwight511]

Bear McCreary is barely noticed by the masses and he made so many excellent sound tracks not for just battlestar galactica

[@michelepugiotto]

sul serio !!! ci vorrebbero più "bear McCreary" anche per radio... tra l'altro bravino anche il fratello

[@geekonomic]

The man!

[@sandansaiyan5675]

I was happy that he made GoW 2018 ost.Spectacular

[@huculzdun]

I hate to be the bearer of bad news (and this came as a shock to me too), but the BSG soundtrack is a nearly one to one ripoff of Philip Glass’s soundtrack for the movie Mishima. Check it out.

[@spenzism]

BSG is a must watch before you die show. It's not only for Sci-Fi nerds out there, for me, there is a message that is the most important thing in this show, which is; -- life is so precious and we have so little time left to live, we're so fragile as humans that we can die at anytime, anywhere. So we must not waste time, we must make the best out of it, we must treat time as the greatest and most important commodity in the universe.

Bjørn Erik Fjeld For 1 time siden (redigert) Option: we can transform to the robotic life finding other earth alike planets or planet to bring dna and data and brake the circle, if not world war 3 or should i say 4 comes on us . its even almost impossible to catch up time even if no war comes. And compete the time, that would need (just my nr ) 80% of mankind to focus on one goal as a team, just as we do at a smal lab , but instead use data and media and 80 % of world population around th world using one goal and human leaders must take that action, from this date to win aginst the time and live the robotic life with HD copys of our memorys. to set the next gen DNA & Data for human to start agin or continue on another Planet somewhere , its even almost impossible from this date to win aginst time and live the robotic life with HD copy memorys to save the humanity to continue. To set the next gen DNA and data. (and all that other expertise and stuff theese robot or robots needs. last hope to be lucky have 50 years to work on this or maybe 20? thats maybe to long time?. MOST IMPORTEN - there will be no love combained with sex and feelings as us agin, befoore the robotic humanoid can root the seed the human DNA on the new planet with lots of data and hi tec with it. its pretty much werry late for that trip . X. but many are working on it, but leaders of the world makes it not possible- im afraid. its just not enogh. many do lots and help , but hey i promise thats good. but its not enogh. we can - BUT., take som trips around the world, our way of doing el cars and all that stuff her in the good spot of success, dosent help to go for the global warming missons, just do a trip around so many country`s - i did. we are not so many, even i do my best, but i rly know it wont help, but i wont stop! and for battlestar galactica, maybe it wasent just unreral. One moore thing. robots can almost now today be a copy of a human brain and be able feel somthing. On this journey. ilness may not happend anymooer, like cancer ,i hope love and sex must not die out. im humanist.

That Easterly View to Shape of Things to Come transition was magical.

[@LesPaulBJJ]

Christ the most epic moment in this series was when Kara "remembered" the music at the piano. The music itself was awesome and the revelation was stunning.

[@AkheirAX]

Yep, that was some work. Itching to start watching this for the 6th time. :)

[@AkheirAX]

Abdul Al-Amry Right, just replied to myself to remind myself to go back and watch the series again. 12:04 onwards just brought it all back.

[@BorcishHorde]

Abdul Al-Amry Did you forget to watch it again? If so, you should watch it again. If you didn't forget you should watch it again anyway. ;)

[@snarfer5612]

***** definitely. this wasn't much a show as it was a fucking lifetime experience.. easily one of the most impacting series i've ever had the pleasure of watching. and the soundtrack was just as perfect.

[@trevorc5477]

Simply one of, if not the best, tv series out there. The kara remembers scene gives me MASSIVE goosebumps and chills every time. I've never been so emotionally connected with a series

[@WOjdasMo]

It is 2024 and I just saw the pilot episode today. I am completely hooked! How did I not know about such masterpiece till now?!?

[@marcboss6]

Cherish it.

[@paintur68]

I listen to the Battlestar Galactica soundtracks all the time....they are superb....beautiful.....they are tragic, triumphant....titanic......a masterpiece of work.

[@eternitY-33]

2022 - best Show and Soundtrack ever!

[@heavypen]

Some people say that this is the best scifi television production of all time. I find no fault in that description. But I do find fault in the limitation: just scifi? I think BSG - THIS BSG - is one of the top 10 dramatic shows ever put on the air. Right to the very bitter end. To think that the concept didn't start out that way. The original BSG is a poor cartoon by comparison. And such few television productions attempts such epic storytelling. To reach such emotional depths. To attempt such complex character development and attention to continuity. Amazing. Breathtaking. Definitely a bucket list show. Rewatched many times.

[@schambortski]

not everything must have happay-end

[@sandansaiyan5675]

Not top 10 but top 25(which is still more than great) and but if we talk about soundtrack it's top 5 alongside Rome,Lost, GoT and 6 feet under/Dexter.One of a kind show

[@slamjackfhuckery4321]

I have watch all episodes 13 times.

[@alessandroruggiero2501]

Just finished the last episode for the first time (yes, 10 years after the ending) and I think that was the best thing I ever seen in my life

[@Arnold-l1k]

What's the best way to describe the music of Battlestar Galactica is that it has become its own hidden character inside the series itself

[@JunkPhubeta]

Ah... the BSG OST. The soundtrack that made me love taiko drums...

[@jcbryant4200]

I think the soundtrack for this series had a huge part in the success of this show. It just helped to set the whole tone and theme of the series. So thankful that Bear McCreary (edited) got picked to do this. Its one of my favorite OSTs ever.

[@timstannard2346]

[@JamesS_007_]

haha, it's Bear McCreary. Not Grillis. Maybe you were thinking Bear Grylls the Man vs Wild guy?

I fell in love with the show and almost immediately I noticed how beautiful the music score was for it throughout the entire series. So glad I found this!!

[@BorcishHorde]

This is me as it goes on: Yeah, this is pretty amazing. I really like it. Yeah. Ok. This is fraking fantastic. HOLY shit. Why have I not been listening to this non stop for the last 2 years? HOLY FRAKING GODS THIS IS AMAZING! NEVER STOP! and then it stopped.

Je viens donc de terminer mon 4ème visionage de battlestar. Que dire... j'ai beau chercher, je ne vois pas d'égal. C'est un énorme travail profond, sur l'homme, son rapport à la religion aux technologies, son rapport aux différences. C'est une grande réussite. Bravo. La musique est une pure merveille, et elle joue d'ailleurs un rôle clé dans la série...

[@paulin2461]

Bsg is simply the best series I've ever seen, everything in revealed itself and came together, the moments of tension and "What" were simply amazing whether it was happening this with such and such a character and that with another character, and the ost especially Kara Remembers helped even more to enhance certain moments and to involve me emotionally in many scenes!!! Thank you for this music compilation, nothing like to finish the series and already find this beauty to listen to!

[@MrFluffytheTurtle]

It was marked as unavailable for years... finally i can listen again 😢this is still one of the first few things I ever added to my original "favorites" playlist over 10 years ago

[@minimoyundhonigtorte]

just finished the last episode(again).... *-* I just love this show!! With all its ups and downs. My favorite show by far. Forget House of Cards, Game of Thrones, Walking Dead, Dexter, Breaking Bad even Family Guy. This Series filled me up with anger, joy, hope, sadness, my eyes with tears, my heart with hate and love. The Series handled perfectly even a tricky topic like religion. Although I'm an atheist i liked the solution they choose. Objectively BsG isn't perfect but for me it is. ahh i love it and will ever do.

[@sugimura135]

+minimoyundhonigtorte I agree, I used to think TNG was the gold standard in sci fi television and for many years it was. I was totally resistant to watching new BSG but then I watched all four seasons and it's essentially the greatest tv show ever made. I pretty much cannot watch Star Trek or anything else in the same way again.

[@Loveandbullets1]

I agree. I'd say BB and Walking Dead come closest with Walking Dead coming the closest emotionally. It's funny how a lot of atheists enjoyed the ending. And religious folks didn't LOL

But what would be the plot? The Earth doing the same mistake? Adama having been a cylon all the time,launching a nuke on earth to reach his goal,destroying humanity? No no,nothing reaches the original..At least not such a sequel.

[@MediumRareOpinions]

I've always wondered if there could be room for telling the story of another colonial ship with another crew, But then it has the problem of been there done that. If they could find a new angle on it, it might work. Maybe the story of a fleet of ships lost during a jump before the attack on the colonies, finally making it home only to find home destroyed? Making the journey the other way, with the crew thinking they need to get home and warn them about cylons they encountered without realising they already lost the war

[@klausheinrichs5988]

ChaosSandwhich A good alternative would be telling a story wich took place before the cylons destroyed the colonies,but sadly this was already done in the 70´s and BSG Blood and Chrome actually bases on it.But it was more like a TV series for children,and a complete makeover for mature viewers could be the best way..

[@MediumRareOpinions]

Klaus Heinrichs i agree a mature content approach is the best way, some of the best episodes involved a lot of ethics and moral choices

[@gaterzoom]

Since everything happened before and only the roles change they could do the series in reverse. Overpowered colonial fleet attacks the fleeing cylons
