[@LoboalphaMASTER]

@@briandeiwert5911 Actually both B5 and DS9 came out of different versions of the same script and sourcebook, basically, the same author left some copies of his ideas lying around several studios as he went after someone who would be interested in making his project a reality, and some studio head found it and handed it to the people who made DS9 as something they could take ideas from, believing that it was from some abandoned show that never made it into production, and the result were 2 shows, filmed at the same time, based on the same source.

2:38 I love that green light board display on the back wall. It's showing galactica's structural integrity throughout the ship. This episode takes place shortly before they find the dead earth, but this split second moment already shows just how weakened galatica has become. as it shows most of her lateral struts (her spine) has been compromised. Granted the cylon renegades buy her some time in the coming episode with repairs, but its a wonderful attention to detail foreshadowing tighs statement in the final episode after her last jump that "all lateral structural lights on the board are red... her backs broken, she'll never jump again." Little things that make this show great.

As a result the crew's understanding of her maximum integrity was based upon a ship built to code....galactica was not and as such damage the specs said the ship could endure was crippling to the now elderly and under-supported galactica.

@@Phoenixesper1 Well it's less about intentional than it was about was on hand when Galactica was refurbished after her forced grounding at I believe Aerlon in the first war, after Galactica was retrieved by a reformed Colonial Navy the refurbished her in secret and thus couldn't bring here to the docks at Scorpia and Daedolis had already been lost at that point so if your gonna refurbish a Jupiter-class Battlestar in secret you are really limited where you can dock her and you don't have access to all the materials you should given the security situation.

This has always been one of my favorite scenes. You can sense the absolute panic, discord, and fear of the crew on all three ships from not knowing who’s friend or enemy. The other ships in the fleet, and the president’s shuttle hurrying to the safety of Galactica, really amplified the gravity of the situation as the Vipers race past the civilian vessels desperately trying to jump away. This scene was executed just phenomenally. We also can’t forget Bear’s scoring. High marks all around.

[@jonothandoeser]

Wow! Never noticed that before! Thanks for pointing that out!

[@andromidius]

I never noticed that either. But it makes sense - they need eyes on target to reduce reliance on targeting computers.

[@RayPall]

Yeah, that's a nice detail. But it's also quite a pointless design feature if you think about it. 1) It gives each gun turret a massive weak spot that can be exploited by any stray Raider that would be able to slip past Vipers and flak shield. One missile hit and the entire gun crew is dead and/or vented into space 2) Visual contact with the target is useless for the gun crews as they are getting target solutions from ballistic computers anyway and I reckon Galactica has some sort of centralized fire control system to synchronize all batteries.

[@Cowracer67]

@@RayPall 1) A missile that would take out the human gunners would wreck the turret anyway. 2) we all know of Adama's reluctance to computer controls. I would imagine that the turrets 'could' be slaved to a ballistic computer, but the old man probably prefers human gunners.

[@RayPall]

​ @Cowracer67 1) That is true, but that glass cockpit would be probably shattered even by cannon fire, while a fully enclosed, heavily armored turret can be taken out only by an accurate hit with a high-penetrating weapon. If you really need to have gun crews stationed directly in the turrets, you could at least protect them by moving them inside of the turret. They can't rely on visual information anyway. 2) placing humans in gun turrets is an obsolete concept in itself, especially when you can hardwire them to a ballistic computer. Even our current naval warships don't use manned turrets anymore with all the targeting info being relayed from their CIC.

B5, for me, is my best sci-fi series of all time. plot lines and how well they played out-just hasn't been touched by any other show.

[@sithlord115]

It was a great series for sure except how the writers boxed themselves in on the ending with Kara but my favorite is DS9 it took the star trek universe in a new direction by tackling social issues as well as having one of the 2 baddest sci fi captains in history that being Sisko and the other being Adama. Still BSG reboot was amazing

[@Negativvv]

For me, BSG went bad after the New Caprica rescue. It was still an ok show but never again reached the heights of S1/S2 along with the Battle of New Caprica. Later episodes included that ridiculous Tillium fuel refining ship where men sorted rocks by hand, utterly insane as modern petrol isn't hand refined let alone some sort of ultra high yield super fuel...Also the Gaeta/Zarek rebellion, in the words of my friend "there was no suspense as the rebels were made up of rapists and murderers with all the big name characters being on one side; it was obvious who was going to win". The final episode felt way too long, the bits on Earth simply felt forced and the insistence on shoe horning All Along The Watchtower into the storyline was meh. Why the hell was the Cylon Colony doing "there" after what would likely be many many light years away from the 12 Colonies as they had been travelling for years by that point?! But I'm too harsh, was a great show overall!

[@Negativvv]

The lack of discipline could be explained as Galactica was the remnant of the Colonial military plus it was a ship that was literally en route to the scrap yard at the time of the attack. So it was staffed with personnel either looking for a retirement job or ones who were likely deemed by the fleet to be unworthy of serving on more modern ships. That doesn't explain how well the pilots performed Vs Cylon Raiders which were purpose built and bred to fight but meh...

[@Scoonertuna]

I love this show. I think many thought it lost traction during and after S3, but I kind of enjoyed it. I wouldn't call the later seasons of BSG more Fantasy heavy, but more embracing what the creators did for DS9... it was more Spirituality heavy...

[@randomlyentertaining8287]

Really nothing special that Tigh did. As Rob Gyanisu said, he simply noticed no Raiders were launching. As shown in the first episode, Cylons are pretty predictable. When a basestar shows up, it pretty much always launches Raiders to disperse Galactic's fire and to hold off Vipers. But this one jumps smack dab in the middle of the entire fleet and just sits there, not even moving an inch. Something is obviously different.

[@Crisscross918]

"Obviously different" yes, but not "obviously safe". It's entirely possible the basestar was one giant suicide bomber which would launch/self-detonate a bunch of nukes right in the middle of the fleet. Tons of other potential scenarios too, all of which constitute a "shoot first, ask questions later" response. The possibility that a cylon basestar is actually FRIENDLY should not have crossed any sane military commander's mind if their objective is the protection of the last remnants of humanity. Tigh's "gut feeling" was truly a miracle that it turned out to be right.

[@jonthegeologist616]

I loved those little moments where the cylons showed their robotic nature, in the earlier seasons it was shown that models had a way of communicating to each other kind of like a cybernetic kind of telepathy or wireless communication.... and that was how I interpreted this scene that the final five were able to communicate to each other like this and thus Anders was somehow communicating to Tigh that they were there and not to fire

[@blusafe1]

I disagree. Tigh is a military genius and his intuition told him to weapons hold.

[@PhoenixT70]

The Baseship was just sitting there, not firing and not launching Raiders, which contradicts everything the Cylons had previously done. It’s not telepathy, it’s Tigh reading the situation and seeing something is different.

[@chrisinnes2128]

Tigh is not just a military genius he is also genius scientist he just doesn't remember it

[@jzenhenko]

probably should have had the demetrius go back first to warn them and this could all be avoided

[@T3DNR3D]

If you've watched the show, the basestar needed to sync to the Demetrius to jump because it's navigation systems were damaged, and the Demetrius only had enough tylium left for a single jump. That's why they had to jump together.

[@SapphireZeev36]

I have to be wondering what it was like at 2:50. Everyone on the civilian ships must have been like holy….!

[@mikeknowles8017]

Character development. Dee doesn't wait to be ordered to get authentication, she just jumps in on her own authority. I love that moment.

[@sam23696]

The people on the ship at 2:45 must be having a fucking hell of a ride, the pilot filling his pants and everything not bolted down turning the interior into a blender.

[@Hunpecked]

Remind me why Demetrius couldn't jump first and warn the fleet the allied Cylon ship is coming?

[@Ender-Corbin]

XO countering Adamas command: Priceless.

[@samsonguy10k]

As an XO can do, as long as it is for a VERY GOOD REASON. Especially when you are countering Admiral Adama's order.

[@metiwalkthroughs]

I never noticed Galactica had a Defender Class Escort until now :D Too bad they never showed it in action

[@LtCWest]

From what I know Lore wise, that Defender had been converted into a civilian ship. No guns or other military hardware whatsoever. Btw, did you know there were a bunch of Defender in Serenity as part of the Reaver fleet? ^^

[@danteellerbe3427]

I'm pretty sure I watched Spacedock talk about this, both the decommed retrofitted part and the reaver fleet tidbit.

[@danteellerbe3427]

@High Lord Baron oh no doubt lol

[@DudiMr]

At what time can I see it? I still don't see it

[@Eshanas]

@@DudiMr I think it's at 3:38, the ship with the two prongs at the rear.

[@splatoonistproductions5345]

Does anyone know the OST when the baseship jumps into the fleet?

[@tomlawrence1335]

I always liked that shot of the galactica approaching the base star. Almost looks like a shark coming in for the kill.

[@dirdib69]

There was always something dramatically beautiful about seeing the fleet ships jumping away - like you could just see the panic. For the civilian ships, jumping was the only thing they could do. I'll always remember the scene in the miniseries where those ships with FTL have to jump away to avoid being destroyed - leaving those without to the mercy of the Cylons.

[@Miloshhhhh]

Still gives me goosebumps...

[@rapid13]

Need to re-watch the whole thing again.

[@OptimusWombat]

Tigh's got some good instincts.

[@TigerWing141]

when having a relaxing day but then 2:27

[@KuyruksuzSatyr]

Soundtrack is so goosebumpyyy i love it

[@UFO721]

What song is that? The one that plays when the base star jumps in without the Demetrius.

[@iantolyczak8411]

Old lady turned to Fight!

[@damianmorningstar4127]

Always be one of my favorite scenes

[@Em.P14]

what is the song that is beeing played there? is there a version that has a clearer version of the melody ? PLZ I NEED HELP

[@pablom-f8762]

"Frakking thing sitting right on top of us!" God's, I love Saul.

[@Privatepain1234]

Those viper pilots probably didnt only shit themselves when the demetrius showed up right in front of them so suddenly, but also probably were swearing up the biggest storm known to the twelve colonies

[@frankharr9466]

Man, I'dforgotten that scene, there's so much good stuff in that series.

[@Borealopelta]

Одна из любимых сцен за все сезоны, абсолютно гениально

[@CptSaveAH03]

Haha how scared was everyone when the Cylon ship ftl right on top of them💀💀

[@sneakeyred]

Long live BSG

[@PyrosEnjoyPieHW2]

I love when they're doing the countdown and they get to six they cut to the Six

[@gettingtoastedatq]

I have to say the reworked BSG is absolute money. What a fantastic show

[@SoCalBIGmike]

Weapons HOLD!

[@HrLBolle]

2:40 one of the best shots of the space dedicated to Damage control

[@fredlandry6170]

I miss the Pegasus so much it was the perfect Battlestar.
