Battlestar Galactica - The Plan "Tribute"

[@u805]

The Colonial Fleet actually has approximately 120 Battlestars as Starbuck says after Cmdr Adama tells her that 30 have been destroyed, "that is almost a quarter of the fleet".

[@OriMedian]

Is this a movie?! OH MY GOD I NEED TO SEE THIS!

[@MichaelCollins1922]

In the Miniseries, the Cylons were able to infiltrate the computers of the battlestar's through Baltar's Navigation Program. Since they were networked, the Cylons could send a signal to deactivate all Colonial units. That's why they all shut down.

[@brkicar2]

cool i love BSG the plan and the music.......

[@SardaukarOne]

In the pilot, its shown that the Colonial fleet did try to fight heads up when Boomer and Helo headed to Caprica. The Valkyrie is a name of a Battlestar, not a type of Battlestar. One would think that the Battlestar Atlantia was a Mercury class Battlestar, like the Pegasus. Both the Pegasus and the Atlantia had admirals commanding them. From what I can tell, the Mecury class is the most powerful battlestar there is. Seems to be the biggest too. Sounds right for an admiral to me!

[@xchanticochulox]

The updated version of this show and all of its movies are so epic im a trekkie but i made room for Battle Star galactica and all of its shows and movies

[@sonofcy]

That is was the entire ethos of the entire ethos of the show. The cycle of blood and vengeance endlessly repeating. "All of this has happened before and all of this will happen again".

[@WarGrowlmon18]

I LOVED that ending to the movie. Ties in PERFECTLY to the show though we don't know what happened to that other Six. It pretty much means that the Cavil in the movie is the John Cavil of the show who killed himself in Daybreak.

[@Spaceopticsguy2010]

This sounds fantastic on a good sound system

[@UnionLords]

Oh... and one more thing. :) Season 3 is BY FAR the most amazing season of the entire serie. No doubt about that. Just rewatch the episode 3x06, 3x20, 3x04, 3x01, 3x12, 3x17, 3x11... All of them are the proof of what I said... You will see. ;-)

[@ilm_seeker]

Good Job! Most people pick crappy music and marry it to cool BSG footage. You did GREAT!! BIG THUMBS UP TO YUH!!

[@scottgrimes1287]

Actually, if you pay real close attention to the series, their is a Colonial escort/destroyer class that survived and was with Galactica all the way to Earth. The one thing to the Pegasus benefit was, they could manufacture vipers on ship. That is why they had so many when they met Galactica.

[@drutalero2962]

Where

[@SardaukarOne]

In the pilot, it states that the intial Cylon attack destroyed 30 battlestars. Or 25% of the fleet(battlestars). Apart from allowing the Cylons to "turn off" the battlestars, it gave them info as to the locations of colonial units. "Deployment schedules" etc(see pilot). In the intial attacks, the CNP may not have made much difference. Suprise was overwhelming as the near escape of the Pegasus showed. The Cylons didn't need the CNP here.

[@gliderfs621]

I recommend to see first "Caprica", after, "The plan" and to end "Battlestar Galactica". That's the best way to inderstand the world of BSG in my mind :)

[@Emrod82]

The Cylon homeworld concept its pretty relative....its all around space :P

[@Neakal]

yup. but if you zoom in on HD, you can see that one of those Battlestars is THE Valkyrie. Always wondered what happened to it.

[@TomboTheTornado]

Brought it back for th last few eps

[@easyalpha1]

One of the most serious depictions of space warfare ever. Star Wars and Star Trek don’t even come close to the grit of this scene.

[@MareTranquil]

@Starliner1701 The fleet wasn't lost quickly, but not in one instant. Remember lines like "We lost a quater of the fleet in the first wave" from the pilot.

[@wesleymccurtain166]

Ohhhh something just occurred to me. I just recently saw the rerun of the episode where Ellen Tigh shows up and her account of not recalling how she got on a liner , that "someone" made sure she got aboard. It had to be Cavil. He was obsessed with her in the first place!

[@JoseMorales-lh6nt]

Me encanta este vídeo porque combina la canción con las explosiones en las ciudades

[@SardaukarOne]

No, they started talking about the final 5 when Baltar was with the cylons after the escape from New Caprica. Baltar asked six about them. This was before the 3's got boxed. I suggest you take your own advice and watch the show again. Everyone makes mistakes. And you would know that more than others! :)

[@shr4n]

well done loved it! thank you!

[@SardaukarOne]

Apparently so. In earlier seasons, the Cylons stated that they downloaded to their homeworld. And the reason for the res ships was to overcome being too far away from the homeworld. Two problems. 1) The homeworld clearly can't move after the fleet in this scenario. Its a fixed position. After a certain distance, u are too far away to download. The 'colony' / massive space station can move. 2) The colony has no res technology on board. Which contradicts earlier tales of the homeworld.

[@lupulul]

@PatrickHanibal it is the Valkyrie type battlestar. If you look closer you recognize Valkyrie :) That type of battlestar it's Galactica class but modified.

[@TheVargr]

Also Boomer states in the miniseries that there were Vipers that weren't being shutdown by the hacked CNP, but that they were all older planes. I think the problem the unhacked parts of the fleet would have would be that those that used Viper 7s would have ended up without any fighter support against raiders.

[@SardaukarOne]

No, the Valkyrie special ops mission shown in the episode "Hero" happened one year before the Cylon attack on the colonies. Not three years before. The mission was a failure.

[@Nathaniel1415]

THE BEST TV SERIES EVER!!!!!

[@TariqAlSuave]

@UndyingHunter1 Right, but the Colonials accepted terms that were very disadvantageous to them from a standpoint of deterrence. The Colonials weren't allowed to cross the treaty line, so they had no idea where the Cylons' vital assets were, but the Cylons sure as hell knew the location of the twelve colonies. The Cylons could deter any colonial attack by threatening to nuke the Colonies, but the Colonials had no targets. That proved to be a dangerous asymmetry.

[@SardaukarOne]

No, I was basing it on the time it took the baseship to heal itself. Which took a long time for not that much damage. No one gives type O blood to someone who has type A blood. They have tests! So thats not a good comparison. The Galactica was given the cylon metal because it might have worked. Because the concept behind the cylon's use of it means it could have worked in repairing the Galactica. You apply it to a structure already in place. Add skin and tissue to the skeleton.

[@hereholdmyhobo]

Why did the Cylons have to be...likeable...bad guys? And why did you have to use that song in the video? It gives me chills like you wouldn't believe. 5 stars.

[@TheEdSquared]

@Halo4Lyf Yep, so much for the Google Auto Close Captioning Program :-( It is a subscript for when #1 says " ... and feel the super wind of a supernova flowing over me ... " comes out: " ... and fuselage of the superbowl of jello ... " I guess 'and' becomes 'and'; "feel the' becomes "fuselage"; 'super nova' becomes 'superbowl'; and 'flowingover' ('fello') becomes 'jello'?

[@moonsorrow77]

great video bro,keep it coming.

[@burki677]

[@Recan404]

The Colonial Fleet was regarded by the Cylons to be a decisively superior force in a direct engagement. Therefore, the Cylons returned to a variation of their Cylon War tactics by undermining the Colonial Fleet's CNP to attack ships equipped with the software from within (TRS: "Downloaded").

[@Boxghost102]

actually, I found the scratching to make the video more powerful; a symbol of the destruction.

[@Bifirocker]

[@warbossgrotsmasha23]

@TariqAlSuave that may be so but don't forget that the colonials had a greater army, the only drawback were those new systems they instaled cause that allowed the cylon virus to disable the entire colonial fleet (except those ships that weren't linked to that network)

@turbooggyboy It was actually due to the time it took to track where the humans had jumped to. The where chasing them using a tracking device that used residual blah blah blah from the FTL jump.

[@SardaukarOne]

Plus they missed showing Clavill's reaction to the Peg showing up. Considering how 'upset' he was getting at everything else not going to plan, I can only imagine him laying an egg the size of a house when the peg found the fleet.

[@SardaukarOne]

I'd add that another factor against the use of nukes by the Black bird would be the proximity to its target. If the pilot was to survive, then the BB would have to launch the nuke a safe distance from the target. This would surely reduce the chance of success. But the only real defense the Cylons had against this would be Raiders. The baseships don't seem to have any defensive batteries, and the res ship didn't seem to have any defenses either. If no raiders around, i like the odds.

And yet we're still here. The cylons struck first. Now prepare for the counter-strike. Pray there's any of you left when humanity has its vengeance.

[@theknightswhosayfrak]

I think it would have been cool if Brother Cavil found a way to build a body that could do all that. (Maybe a golden centurion.) Then he orders a centurion to kill him and he ressurects in said body and then when Helen runs to his awakening she asks. "Why? Why did you do it, John." and he turns to her and says in the scariest voice you have ever heard. "John is dead. You may call me...Imperious Leader." And the episode ends.

[@MayhemMby]

Final five werent mentioned until season 3 because they werent even a concept in the writing of the show until then, when they wanted a stronger season ending than Baltar's trial. So why anyone would expect anything out of it more than a tack-on to the series, which was still a good series, is beyond me.

[@spartanlegend01]

The first 8 were created after the original five, even though the numbering was reversed. Cavil knew about the existence of the original 5 but kept it secret from them. Technically you can argue there are not 12 models but only 8, and the 'final five' are a different breed of cylon. The idea of there being 12 models was something that the Galactica crew inherited from the 8 models (minus cavil), who had a mythology about the existence of five other cylons besides themselves.

[@kyrved7204]

The first best movie i know

[@SardaukarOne]

The hub wasn't the homeworld. The Cylons had a homeworld through the mini and the first two seasons. World's can't move, hence the need for Res ships. The writers seem to have totally missed this. I seem to recall only the rebel cylons not knowing where it was. That the hybrids was the only way to find it. I kinda think Clavill would have known where it was most of the time ; considering the importance of the Hub.

[@BengBengCat]

@bullworth3040 Its not in Gaelic; its in Sanskrit. Its a mantra called "Maha Gayatri". Its really beautiful!

[@SardaukarOne]

The Cylons did need the CNP when the colonials were able to organize resistance after the intial attack. As briefly shown in the Plan and the Pilot. Battlestars seem to be more powerful than baseships. The Pegasus flattened a couple of baseships before its demise. The baseship has no defensive batteries. And it seems to be a lighter capitol ship than the average Battlestar. I think that the Cylons also had fewer ships. Its understandable why they needed an advantage vs the colonials.

[@SardaukarOne]

In the episode Downloaded, D'anna tells Six that her mission succeeded beyond all expectations. My inference was that they assumed that the colonials could well figure out why their ships were going down without firing a shot. Had this happened, it might not have made much difference re the fate of the colonies. But it would have meant some fighting for the Cylons. Not preferable for the Cylons. Hence the need to engage the colonial fleet asap. Before the colonials figured it out.

[@turbooggyboy]

The video was automatically transcribed by KZbin, to hilarious effect.

[@Ryac3]

@turbooggyboy I'd bet on the 304 any day. they can beam nukes into the heart of a battlestar, resulting in a pretty instantaneous kill. The 304 also appears to be many magnitudes faster and more agile, meaning it would be a hard target to hit with KEWs, and it has been shown to shoot down missiles.
