'Battlestar Galactica' Reunion ft. Edward James Olmos, Katee Sackhoff & More | PEOPLE

[@1003196110031961]

Just being honest, I’m 62 years old and fell in love with the original Battlestar Galactica as a teen. Starbuck was by far my favourites character and when the reboot made Starbuck a woman, I was pissed. I learned to eat humble pie when I saw the reboot. The cast was unbelievable, the twist and turns stories wise was simply amazing. Everyone involved in this series has every reason to be proud. Fracking good job.

[@GrayNeko]

So say we all! ^_^

[@aman4everchanged......129]

I grew up watching the original as well. Bringing back Richard Hatch (original series Apollo) as a villain was hell of a twist.

[@Jay-h8e6r]

I grew up on the original and loved it. I prefer the TOS over this trash but that's just me.

[@Jay-h8e6r]

@@GrayNeko Honestly, I like "By your command" over that line.

[@jamescarter5042]

I liked this show. however my only complaint was starbuck was changed into girl.

[@hazardduck]

I accidently met Edward James Olmos outside a restaurant in Encino, CA. Having just finished breakfast, I was putting my riding gear on when he had just gotten out of his car right next to my motorcycle. Right before I put my helmet on, he wished me a safe ride. One of those moments where I was stunned, but also not stunned by a movie star in that he was so chill. It's good to know that he was "Admiral" behind the scenes as well.

[@FishingWithFitz]

I would screamed “Yes sir Admiral!”

[@RubyJones-zj4fu]

As of this moment I will ride safely!

[@Aldaris1234567]

Should have said 'So say we all!'

[@waddawa]

Cant remember when i started crying over a youtube comment

This was the absolute best remake/reimagining/reboot of anything, ever. PERIOD.

[@jackkerning3478]

Remakes almost always suck. BSG was a shining exception.

[@yusefendure]

Agreed...for a TV show. Now, we've got Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color to handle.

[@paulmichaelfreedman8334]

How'd ever expect that a deep psychological drama could be combined with gripping Sci-fi action? Because the Six-Baltar interactions were pure genius mindf*cks and the space action was the best ever seen.

[@Travixius1]

SO SAY WE ALL

[@DevinEMILE]

@@jackkerning3478 Dredd Was also really good. I'd say far better then the original. And another one True Grit. The original is just typical John Wayne movie, a good western for the time. The Remake is one of the Best Westerns Period. BSG though is probably the best remake.

[@DrRussPhd]

One of the best shows I've seen in a few decades. Well written, well acted.

[@maxpayne930]

[@bradanderson7105]

I AM SO GLAD toward the end that James Callis comments on Gaius Baltar's last on-screen moment. That one moment is one of the most brilliant character turns in the whole series. Chokes me up every time when he remembers his dad, with the only other person in the whole universe who even knew his dad, at his side.

[@jedsithor]

"I know about farming..." damn, the feels.

[@CharlieBrown20XD6]

​@@jedsithora skill he always dismissed as beneath him and he only appreciates his father's teachings when it's far too late to let his dad know. Makes me cry

YEP@@jacksdad734

[@blakerackley8874]

🤣🤣omg, this is dumb as hell.

[@hazmatt3250]

Incredibly powerful. It’s a very human-centered show. It really seems to revolve around consequences, with the Cylons representing the ultimate consequence of man’s sin (or so my theory goes). It’s like Terminator in space but with more emphasis on character development over action.

[@AlexShimp]

It’s amazing if you haven’t seen it

[@geraldmcdevitt3996]

Loved Michael Hogan in his version of Col. Tigh... so different. The character was so much more complex than in the original show. He was more like your favorite drill instructor. Eddie was so awesome.. and can't say enough about the rest of the cast. I'm so glad they're still close and meet together each year.

[@chrinamint]

Poor Michael Hogan. So sad what happened. I hope the rest of the cast is continuing to stay in touch with him and visit him.

[@OverTheFence555]

One of the best series I've ever watched - more than once. The story was all encompassing - and eventhough it was a reboot it paid homage to the original in a very respectful way. And the cast were magnificent - to the point where it felt more like science-fact than fiction. Magnificent.

[@racebiketuner]

Same!

[@EmperorAtreidesDune]

So say we all ;) seen it 6x ;)

[@insideoutsideupsidedown2218]

The first several seasons were good. After that, the writers got lazy. All they had to do was go all in with the original story and modified it.

[@brazil-y2y]

@BadApe you sound like an adult, real adult of 30+ probably 50+ I recommend you a few shows, 1 Babylon 5. 2, Farscape, 3 Space above and beyond, 4 Firefly. Tag me one day thanking me.

[@Doug_Hannon]

It cannot be overstated -- the score by Bear McCreary is still the best TV score of all time, and it's not even particularly close.

[@KaitainCPS]

What tends to get forgotten is that the musical sound of the show was created by Richard Gibbs for the 2003 miniseries, with McCreary as his assistant. He was asked to return full-time when the show was greenlit as a full series, but he had to pass as he had other commitments. He recommended McCreary be given the sernior job. It worked out extremely well, and McCreary deserves his plaudits, but Gibbs made a big mark on the show by going in such a distinctive direction for the pilot. Some of the cues from the miniseries are outstanding - not only "Are You Alive?" which became the leitmotif of Six whenever she appeared, but also "The Storm And The Dead" (when they're laying out the dead before approaching Ragnar Anchorage), a stellar piece of work with a plaintive choral component.

[@lucemiserlohn]

@@KaitainCPS That is not quite accurate. The only music of Gibbs the show used was the original main title (Colonial Anthem), all the original music was written by McCreary. IIRC Gibbs turned them down from the start, and had a hand in suggesting McCreary, but ultimately did not work on the show.

[@Lykw1dSloth]

@@lucemiserlohn The soundtrack for BSG Miniseries was largely scored by Gibbs (his name is the only one listed/credited on the soundtrack as well). However, McCreary took it to another level (several actually) on seasons 1-4 & the films. Even the score he did for Caprica was amazing (as well as Outlander & everything else he works on). McCreary put so much thought & passion into his work on BSG & boy does it show.

[@jangoisbaddest]

I absolutely agree with this.

[@bahamutt68]

was amazing the ST. My daughter went to drum line

[@Shervin86]

Just browse through the comments here... not two people loved the same thing about this entire show... that says a lot about the quality of the production and skill of actors. So say we all

[@MarieAnne.]

Not disagreeing about the quality, but I think it says more about how different people are.

[@AndrewKendall71]

Roslin and Adama's relationship does so much - shows the need for humility and not narcissism by those in authority, shows the need for separation of powers, shows how that separation can and should be beloved by those served by it. Pretty great. And cool that SW gave us BG... and then BG gave us Katee who's in SW.

[@thisiscarib]

This brought sci-fi back …. This series was EPIC

[@AndrewMuscat-t3k]

Along with firefly

[@jeffjanoda8177]

BSG was the best thing on television from 2004 to 2008. Like, literally. It was beyond good, and will always hold up. I was entranced by it. Much respect to all who made the show, and all who acted in it. It seemed such a short run, and I wanted more, but it fulfilled its arc. A perfect tale. Much love to all of you.

[@andyedie7920]

When the Sleeper Cylons were finally revealed, it blew my damn mind. One of the best "twists" ever.

[@Lykw1dSloth]

Loved the whole Final Five anticipation

[@insideoutsideupsidedown2218]

It was too predictable.

[@ryans413]

That whole episode was fire. Then It ends with Starbuck returning and the epic song Watchtower plays my favourite episode

[@brazil-y2y]

Andy, how old are you, 1 and 2 how much TV, scifi especially have you seen? I'm sorry I've seen so much pre BSG, I have no memory of the twist, I was waiting for the blooming plan, that had to be added, because such great writing, but that twist, awesome! I'll add the word sarcasm, and repeat how little have you seen? Star Wars Clone Wars does not count.

[@hiegstar]

This was one of the shows I binged while my twins were still infants. Such an amazing experience, story, and acting!

[@johnharris6655]

Still the greatest scene in the history of TV. When Lee arrives with the Pegasus to save Galactica. All you see is Galactica taking a pounding, then total silence followed by the drums and Pegasus firing all guns.

[@marijanewernsman6134]

Best soundtrack ever!

[@lawbinson]

The drums always get me

[@darrencromer]

Best scene of the series. I felt I was watching the Galactica die. When the Pegasus appeared I jumped out and yelled "YES!". very very out of character for me.

[@DevinEMILE]

The part where Pegasus arrives to the fleet for the first time still gives me goosebumps. Apollos line, It's like a dream is apparently a reference to the first show.

[@j.f.monahan3589]

One of my all time favourites. The connection you get with these characters is undeniable. Time for a re-watch I think. So say we all!

[@Rip-Van-Tinkle]

This is one of the best TV series ever made, not just sci-fi... Congrats to all involved in this absolute epic.

[@Travixius1]

SO SAY WE ALL

[@Lykw1dSloth]

McCreary’s score on seasons 1-4 & the films really added to the prestige & polish that took this series to another level.

[@drlca6601]

Richard Gibbs also had some great groundwork on the Miniseries.

[@angermanagementstudios]

In my top 5 shows of all time. Amazing from start to finish.

[@RodgerRamjet]

possibly the best space opera ever written, acted, presented, performed, cast. i love Sci Fi, i watched every one that ever came out. original BSG... to the reboot... its possibly, if not, the best reboot ever. i cant believe how GOOD this show was. and it was genuinely depressing to see it finally go.. the side "movies" are spectacular... it was just perfect in every fashion, had twists i never saw coming, and just loved it.. so endlessly re-watchable..

[@joseph-ow1hf]

I think the best SciFi TV show ever & maybe one of the great drama series regardless of genre. I'm now on my 4th viewing of the series I like so much. Great script and simply brilliant acting. These people become their characters and make you come to care about them. And yes, I loved the parallels between this show during it's time frame and the US 'war on terror'

[@bobdrago69657]

Ron D Moore = Sci Fi tv series brilliance. BSG2 and DS9 were the two best ever. The Expanse, Space Above & Beyond are also up there.

[@kathleenweinberg6442]

They are wonderful actors and actresses on the show

[@artiek1177]

[@GonzoDonzo]

I recently watched the series for the first time. Man were those first two seasons amazing

[@ryans413]

The cliffhanger at the end of season 2 was the highest viewed episode next to the final episode in season 4

[@joelreed9763]

I had the unique opportunity to talk with Mr. Olmos for about 15 minutes. We covered everything from Miami Vice to BSG. We both felt that BSG was one of the best shows of any genre that had ever aired. He was incredibly personable and generous with his time. I'm not a celebrity worshipper or autograph chaser, but the picture I got of the two of us was the wallpaper on my phone for a long time.

[@ericapelz260]

I adored this show, so many great characters. When Katee showed up on The Mandalorian, my first thought was "Starbuck?" LOL Two badass fighters! My kind of gal.

[@DeclanOReilly]

This is the way

[@DevinEMILE]

Another cast member on BSG went on to be pretty important to Star Wars. Sam Witwer. He plays a pilot callsign Crashdown, whos a supporting character for a about 15 episodes. In the Star Wars universe, he is Darth Maul, and StarKiller.

[@skinner5334]

Pure magic- best show I ever watched.⚡️⚡️

[@commonsense6257]

Unfrackinbelievable! What a cast and they don’t appear to have aged. The world needs more Battlestar Galactica.

[@bogdanvelica]

Now it's 2024 when I am writing this and it's been 20 years when this was first out... I just finished seeing the series for the 5th or 6th time... Thank you to all the people involved in this project, wonderful work and performance!

[@KaitainCPS]

One of the things that seems odd now: Gaius Baltar was originally not conceived as a comedic character at all; he was just going to be a regular, straight-laced dramatic character. But when James Callis started delivering some of the lines in a semi-improv comedic style that made people laugh while still serving the plot, they realized they could write for Callis's specific take on Baltar, and he quickly became the character as we now know him.

[@DeclanOReilly]

No more mr nice gaius

[@makasete30]

He brings a lot of British mannerisms and comedy that just worked and made a very unlikeable character very watchable. It’s a shame Callis wasn’t in much after BSG finished as he had a lot of potential. It was nice to see him again in Picard season 3 for a it, though.

[@Kang2112]

I also was a fan of the original Battlestar Galactica but the reboot was absolutely superb in every way. Everyone on the cast was brilliant.

[@insideoutsideupsidedown2218]

Issue was BS 1978 suffered from cost of production. If they had sucked it up and took the show to a 5 season run, it would have been phenomenal.

[@wrohr15309]

OMG for some reason I had just watched this again several weeks ago and now i found this reunion. I loved this show.

[@michaelmuckinhaupt584]

When people ask me what my favorite TV show of all time, I say "Battlestar Galactica". To this day, I can't remember any TV show giving me goosebumps, but this show did it when the Galactica jumped into the atmosphere on the camp where the humans were being held.

[@DevinEMILE]

When Pegasus First Arrived for me. The whole scene is so good. From the suspense to Apollo going, It's Like a Dream. Then we pan to see Another Battlestar. And yes the Adama Maneuver is amazing moment in TV.

[@Gukworks]

How can this remake be almost 20 years old..... I old.

[@ilyanemihin6029]

Battlestar Galactica is one of the best movies, plot, music, actors etc. When you see this series you're deep dive in new world. Thanks to all creators!

[@allgeekthings]

Love BSG and the characters. The actors really did some brilliant work. I watch Battlestar Galactica at least once a year when the real world gets too much for me. From Adama's decommissioning speech, “Why are we as a people worth saving?” to the final episode, the series gives me a big boost.

[@FFKfanTV]

I watch it once a year sometimes more. Don't think I know many other shows were you connect that much with the cast. Thou I must say the expanse also is amazing.

[@deadmetalbr]

Once every two years for me, and I still love it as much as I did during its run... maybe more.

[@liannechristian8597]

I think I've watched it at least once, and sometimes twice a year since the show ended, I love it so much. ❤

[@TStormGuy]

" I watch Battlestar Galactica at least once a year when the real world gets too much for me" Wow, same here. When it gets tough (usually around autumn and winter) I rewatch the series.

[@allgeekthings]

@@TStormGuy Yes! It's about that time.

[@jesse33cdn]

The GREATEST REBOOT EVER!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@brendan1]

I think I'm on my fourth time round watching the entire series. It's the only show I've ever purchased the complete set of seasons for and the movies. And I had the pleasure of meeting Katie Sackhoff at the Calgary Comic Expo one year. She was so kind and such a great actor. They all are. And the show is by far my favourite of all time.

[@evoeightyci]

I could not agree with you more. I too have the complete set including Razor and Caprica. It's one of those series that you can watch time and time again. Each time you learn a little more and things you've missed in the past. For a series that was already a hit in the past it took guts to put it together again with real differences from the original. I'm green with envy that you actually go to meet Katie Sackhoff. She is a wonderful actress. I put this series up with Babylon 5. Peace out.

[@brendan1]

@@evoeightyci Interesting fact. I told Katee my favourite episode was when she found and was piloting the Cylon Raider ship. She told me that was a horrible day for her because she was really sick that day and they'd prepared a bucket for her in the ship she could use if she was going to throw up. What actors will do for their craft! She signed the photo of her for me "We're going the wrong way!!!!". Was so awesome.

[@evoeightyci]

@@brendan1 That was great you actually got to meet her. I've heard the story of her being ill that day but didn't know about the bucket! I think just being inside that "monster" with all those great effects would make anyone sick never mind actually being sick. There is another series called Babylon 5 worth a look.

[@cowbertnet]

probably the best post-9/11 show ever, perfectly embodying every angle of Walt Kelly's quote from Pogo: "We have met the enemy and he is us"

[@BonaTaylor]

The show is soooo heavily underrated. Its the best show on television, ever. All of the other great ones such as breaking bad etc. came AFTER BSG. RDM is the most underrated writer and producer in Hollywood.

[@kontrolist4200]

I wish they also mentioned the music. It was mind-blowing, an important parti of the show and also a suprising element of the story. I like all works of Bear, but BSG is the best.

[@Gamble661]

Tricia Helfer is one of the most beautiful woman on earth, was then and still is now.

[@zzygyy]

She was a blonde bombshell. I remember going to strip club back in 2005. My buddy pointed to one of the dancers and said " omg she's a Cylon for sure". Was an inside joke every time we see a hottie

[@JohnLee-db9zt]

Nope. She looks trans.

[@RiderZer0]

She’s definitely in my top 2

[@wraith1117]

I had heard about the show and to be honest it really didn't sound like something I would like. Was just flipping through channels one day and started watching a show that seemed pretty cool not realizing it was BSG till after a commercial. I was amazed, and hooked. Turned out to be one of my all time favorite shows. The writing was harsh, and I mean that in a good way. Violence, real issues, hardships, the works, nothing candy coated. you got invested in every character. and the use of 'frack' was brilliant. I bust out and binge the whole series from time to time still.

[@richardb.7054]

Just finished a rewatch. This show is incredible. One of the very best series ever made. For the record, I think the ending is perfect.

[@frederalbacon]

It's cool that they actually got a reporter who was a legitimate fan of the show to talk about it in Shirley Li.

[@ryans413]

The ending blew my mind when I realized are modern earth was populated by half Cylons and half humans and everyone was part of both. Such a great ending.

[@wmlau69]

Ron Moore took the minor characters like Tigh and Boomer from the old show and made them more interesting in the new series.

[@henne2k]

The opposite of what showrunners are doing today. Sadly. Hope we get back there

[@FirstSuiGeneris]

I watched Battlestar Galactica back then and have watched the whole series four times since! I love the story, and I wish they would make a series about their survival and how the crew restarted humanity!

[@matthines4748]

The first time I watched Battlestar Galactica was when I was sick for several days, which never happened to me before. I think the show was on a streaming service at the time and I watched most of it in three days. I was hooked. I couldn’t get the ending out of my mind. Still a favorite to this day.

[@Die_Graue_Eminenz]

This show was part of an important period of my life. I was a university student, watched it (together with other shows but BSG was the diamond of all) in my student dorm with my roomies. It was so intense, if I remember correctly there was also the writer guild strike and we had to wait for the continuation. My roomie and I were always trying to oredict the plot twists and whats happening next to the characters and storyline. As the show ended, I was overwhelmed by feelings. It carried me for the most part of my university time. At the end of the year I had to make the decision to leave university and start a new life back at home. Never regret it but it was a wonderful time, the show truely was a big part of it

I hated the original Battlestar because of the way the women were protrayed in it. They were very true to the time....dependent, relegated to a supporting role and far less important than the men. So the new version kept my whole family glued to the television every week., All four of us, our teen daughters, myself and my husband never missed an episode. A piece of each of us died with Laura. What a wonderful way to pass an hour once a week! Thank you all for your contribution to us.

[@lastpme]

I found this show by accident. I hear some of my coworkers talking about, but wasn’t interested since I remember the original as a kid and I thought it would be a kids show. Then in 2009 Circuit City went out of business and had to sell everything. So I bought the first two seasons and once I started…I could not stop. I now have the DVDs and Blu Ray, which is good since Peacock stopped carrying it. I have lost count how many times I have watched the show.

[@billc.8569]

Loved the show. I kept hoping Dirk Benedict would show up as Starbucks father in some way early on. I liked Katie as Starbuck but Dirk was always my favorite. My favorite of the new show was Gaius Baltar, Great acting by James Callis.

[@cainabel615]

I was leery when I had heard Starbuck was going to be played by a woman. I was a fan of the original. I am glad I gave this a chance. It’s got to be my favorite Sci Fi series and Katee Sackoff has got to be one of my favorite actresses, all because of this show. It is phenomenal, considering this show spoke to a ton of issues immediately following 9/11. The story writing was excellent, the acting was excellent. Again, one of the best series of any genre out there ever.

[@mikefox3258]

This reunion brought back so many memories. I watched the series in a little over 1 week the first time through... that's how addicted I was. I remember my first time watching it through... there were characters I loved and hated. But after re-watching the series so many times, all of them were just perfect. I think in the end, I would say my favourite subplot of the series was the relationship between Roslin and Adama. It embodied so much of the real world power struggle that exists in politics even today. Also, there was the aspect of Roslin being a woman trying to lead or co-lead in a world that had been or (has been) dominated by men. The disgust they had for each other in the first season contrasting with the incredible love they had for each other by the end of the journey... just absolutely amazing. Kudos to both Edward and Mary for their phenomenal portrayals of these legendary characters.

[@cesarbaca5297]

Oh Frak I love this show. Since it first came on Netflix and now on Peacock I watch the whole series once a year. As of today I'm halfway through season 2 for this year. So Say We All!!!

Katee Sackhoff's Starbuck is a WAY stronger and better character than the Starbuck of the original series. There. I said it. And you know I'm right.

[@JohnLee-db9zt]

Nope

[@RiminiVirage]

It’s a completely different take on the story. 40 years later with different actors, writing and technology. One version of Starbuck doesn’t need to be better than another. They are simply different.Played by very different actors and of course gender, which alone put a different perspective on the outcome.

[@Alex_G_M]

Absolutely agreed. And Dirk Benedict sadly turned out to be a massive tool - remember the piece he wrote that was basically a rant against feminism in general and more specifically Katee Sackhoff being cast as Starbuck? If you don’t, don’t worry - it was epically dumb.

[@anniktoukanchery]

Yep 😊

[@billberndtson]

10:46 I was born in 1972 and watched the original BSG as it came out. It helped inform my childhood. So, when I say that Katie Sackoff IS Starbuck, the Starbuck in my head canon, the only Starbuck, understand it's saying a lot. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜 I've watched this series 4 times start to finish. It's Peacock's only reason imo.

[@johnecoapollo7]

I love how Olmos felt that it would run for years from the beginning. It reminds me of how Shohreh Aghdashloo, who played S.G Avesarala, was saying that the show will go on for 6 Seasons to the cast and crew of The Expanse.

[@Gaeilgeoir]

This show is genuinely a masterpiece. There were no “dud” episodes for me. Every one of them was engaging and masterfully done, and it's reflected in all aspects of the show: from the lighting and sets, to the script, the acting, the character arcs, the SFX... Just perfect! 🥹🥲

[@jobu9224]

This series defined the career of every single very talented people who worked to create this and bring it to life. Ron, Bear, David, all these wonderful young actors who learned their profession from some true theatre artists. I feel for them in a way because when BSG ended, none of them would ever be part of something this special ever again.

[@ryans413]

The only two actors that were known was the captain and the president everyone else were new comers not known and all them were fantastic

[@shaynedra3331]

That is almost exactly what Edward James Olmos said at another reunion. That he was glad that BSG happened at the end of his career as an actor because nothing as great would come again. And that he was kind of feeling sorry for the younger ones.

[@feffe4036]

BSG, was such a huge part of me growing up. Loved it.

[@Winkkin]

One of the 3 best sci-fi series of all time.

[@coreymoore2719]

My God, Mary McDonnell hasn't aged a day😮

[@danapeck5382]

Fun to watch Moore and the cast work their magic, plus an ending that worked

[@nevilleanitelea1372]

Man I watched this show religiously in the day - great plots, storyline’s, great actors

[@ThereIsAlwaysaWay2]

I binge it when I feel low. A two days Battlestar binges cures pretty much anything.

[@nevilleanitelea1372]

@@ThereIsAlwaysaWay2 I feel ya. I used to clear my Friday because I would be binge watching till early next morning. My brother and nephew would be tapping on my bedroom window to see if I was alive. Haha 😂

Jim telling Andy the reboot is a shot for shot remake of the original and Dwight losing it is my favorite bit on The Office.

[@jeffreyatlee8785]

People so often talk about how this or that narrative saved their lives or made life bearable. This show renewed my faith in everything but faith.

[@BrittTheFurry]

One of the best TV shows I got to watch. No laser weapons, no force fields, no ships on a flat plane, believable ship designs, great writing, great effects, so many twists, great score, just perfect

[@lindahopson5003]

Loved this series! And, "Frack" is still my go to word for colorful language.

[@WestcoastAudiGuy]

Show gave us the Adama maneuver.... "99,000 - falling like a rock! " Such a big part of my mid to late teens - each week waiting on an episode.

[@bigboycombo6342]

I grew up watching the original then was glued to the tv for the reboot. Tried to go back and watch the original and couldn’t sit through it.

[@hubbsllc]

Funny; I never liked the original. Figured I'd check out the initial miniseries on a lark, not expecting much - and then my jaw was on the floor after the first installment.

[@classicgalactica5879]

I felt the same way about the reboot. I thought it was horrible.

[@arniespace]

Lot's of goosebumps watching this. I have all the DVD's and I watch from beginning to end about once a year. Wish the current crop of writers could pull off a show like this, but it's not happening currently. Even with more sophisticated special effects now days, the writing falls flat in modern TV and movies.

[@Sephiroth144]

I would suggest checking The Expanse; BSG is still my #1, but The Expanse is phenomenal as well.

[@magnubeido832]

​@@Sephiroth144 agreed about The Expanse and BSG. BSG has a special place in my heart and always will but The Expanse is equally superb !!

[@chrisbiro1]

I fully agree with the recommendation to watch the Expanse. It's very well done and well written. Today's great writers can write great stories but they are not being hired due to diversity hiring for non-writing-skill based qualities. But there are a few great shows being produced occasionally. The first season of West World was amazingly awesome. Andor is superb, surprised the heck out of me coming from Disney, the horrific woke nightmare that they have become.

[@deerock7]

I REALLY MISS this show! love it.

[@jamib7970]

Such an amazing intersection of writing, cast, and even the effects for their age hold up better than some billion dollar franchises. It will always be one of my top five favorite series.

[@powerbadpowerbad]

Mine too. So say we all !!!! LOL.

[@GonzoDonzo]

I just watched it for the first time last year and the effects still look amazing. They really nailed it

[@Aussie1276]

Tahmoh Pennikett as Helo was my favourite in this show. Still have my DVD's

[@hazmatt3250]

I’m glad they brought that up around the 37 minute mark. I’ve seen Katee in a bunch of different roles, but this one just seemed to have more character than others. I got the feeling she wasn’t really having to try all that hard to act like Starbuck because she IS Starbuck.

[@chrinamint]

I feel like she played the exact same character on Longmire. Doesn't matter... I rewatch both of these all the time. I love her in both.

[@lordofentropy]

When a respected legend of Olmos' stature rates it the best show he's been part of that says a lot; as he said himself, he's been in a lot and done some really good shows.

[@SamnissArandeen]

I remember the Sci-Fi Channel made an hourlong special commemorating the end of the series called "The Last Frakkin Special". Towards the end, Eddie reflects upon his association with BSG. "The one question that people always ask me as I'm walking around is, 'How's it feel to be on Battlestar Galactica?' and I always tell them, 'It's the frakkin best job I ever had!'"

[@southcalder]

I fell into BSG by accident. Flicking through the channels and BBC2 was showing a repeat of the episode where the sleep deprived crew are running from the Cylons every 33 minutes. I was hooked on it. Discovering that (at that point) there were 3 more seasons of this to watch…. I binged!

[@AtomicElectronCo]

The series in the 70s had the last offshoot with "humanoid" cylons in the very last series episode where they found a 1980s earth. It was only briefly ran and wasn't popular but they sure picked it up on this new series! Best TV ever.
