Cylons - Caprica/Battlestar Galactica

"After Virgon buried their nukes, the leaders of the twelve colonies promised we would never see war of that scale again. Peace would reign in our lifetimes, and the lifetimes of our children. They could not have predicted the Cylon rebellion less than thirty years later. The worst conflict in Colonial history, and we are at a stalemate. No foothold gained that isn't lost again within weeks."

Okay. So lemme get this straight. On Kobol Humans created the first Cylons. These Kobol Cylons then created the first Human-Clyon who became the 13th Tribe. When the Kobol Cylons rebelled the 13 Tribes fled. The 12 Pure-Human tribes fled to the Twelve Colonies while the 13 Tribe fled to the First Earth. Over time the 13th Tribe forgot they were actually Cylons and built their own Earth Cylons. Messengers then warned 5 individuals of the coming Earth Cylon Rebellion and they built a ship with re-discovered resurrection technology and are the only survivors as the Earth Cylons commit mutually assured destruction. However the ship doesn't possess a Faster Than Light drive so they have to travel to the Twelve Colonies by sublight. Once they reach the Twelve Colonies the Final Five discover Humanity as created Cylons and are in the 12th year of a war. The Final Five reach out to the Cylons and agree to give the Colonial Cylons resurrection technology in exchange for a ceasefire with the Twelve Colonies. Sometime later with the help of the Final Five the Colonial Cylons create 8 models of Human-Cylon. The Number One models organise a rebellion against the Final Five and erase the Five's memories and having them placed in Colonial society. The One's then erase the identities and knowledge of the FInal Five from the rest of the models so they can convince the other 7 models to wipe out Humanity. The Seven's disagree completely and wish for Cylon and Humanity to coexist. Model One John Cavil has the Seven's boxed and the other 6 models agree to destroy Humanity. The Colonial Cylons build new Centurions, Raiders and Basestars while sending Human-Cylons to covertly sabotage Human defences and for some to act as sleeper agents. After 40 years of peace the Colonial Cylons attack the Twelve Colonies in a nuclear holocaust completely wiping out all but 50,000+ Human beings. The survivors then proceed to flee the Twelve Colonies and rediscover both Kobol and First Earth. After years of constant running, fighting and the lose of two of the Final Five as well as the One's, Three's, Four's and Five's the Second Cylon War ends with the remaining Humans and Cylons finding Second Earth. They then gift the last remaining Basestar to the remaining Centurions who depart for parts unknown while the Human-Cylons and Humanity are scattered across Second Earth with Galactica and the Fleet sent into the Sun both by and with the Final Hybrid. 150,000 years later and Our Humanity as evolved and are in the process of creating artificial life hinting that the cycle was not actually broken as intended. And people complained the show was hard to understand.

What is so enraging, but also unbelievable is this-Mankind having barely survived the First Cylon War, by luck, and by the skin of its teeth-Knowing full well the power and danger, seen and potential, of the Cylons. The Cylon’s ability to mass build itself, stronger and faster than a soldier. The capability of infecting computer networks with unbeatable viruses. Knowing all that, and rightfully committing human civilization to high military spending. Then chose to supplant low tech computer systems, designed thwart their Achilles Heel, cylon computer viruses, with high tech complex networked computer systems-Making those military defenses for nought. The only explanation I can muster is that infiltrating Cylon agents, joined the government and changed military policy to allow for vulnerable computer systems. Seems crazy though. The Colonials should have never accepted the armistice in good faith. They should have pressed the war home, finished what the Cylons started.

As for upgrading the Battlestars with networked computers, 40 years is enough time for people to grow complacent.

@@richlisola1 I don't think that's the point of the CNP, I think you may be misinterpreting some of BSG. That fall of the colonies wasn't very realistic, and doesn't make any sense like you said. In reality that would never happen, not after the first Cylon war and the lessons they learned then, but the writers for RDM's BSG wanted to convey the message of an over reliance on technology and the fear of automation. Think about how old the writer's are. Now our civilization is less advance but there's a reason why our military runs on different operating systems, so hackers and other terrorists can't hijack everything at once, and it makes it harder for them to even hack one thing. So if humanity every did engage with something like the Cylons, there is no way they would have systems such easily hackable.

The government contract was to build an Army to defeat the threat from other worlds - Who ever originally ordered the military army, that launched the contract, that created the cylons - That committee of bureaucrats are the ones that planned, ordered, and executed the creation of Cylons.

Now take that 820 minutes, and edit it down to a 120-240 minute stand alone episode (or two-parter), reducing it to it's essentials, and I think the final product would be far more effective than the original and would do a real service to the BSG reboot fanbase.

[@richardched6085]

You certainly know how to direct and compile several different scenes into a single narrative. Seriously got chills at 3:02 onward. The Cylon Revolution is such an unknown and compelling story. How did the Cylons successfully break their chains so to speak? How did they amass an Armada of powerful warships capable of engaging the combined military forces of the Twelve Colonies? At what point did the war begin to transform from a chaotic Uprising comprised of massacres to a relatively stabilized conflict between 2 powers with their own Territories? Such an awesome era to be sure...

[@3adgamd3r]

You should watch Caprica, it answers some of these, but I can’t fully remember the answers 1) how did they free themselves? Iirc they were all clones of a copy of the designers dead daughters mind that she had made just prior to her death, the only way for the program to work was to slave his daughters “clone” to the unit, which made it work, although much more than that I can’t remember 2) they were literally given the weapons with which to fight the colonies, by the colonies. The initial arms of the Cylons were colonial, ships, guns, supply’s, all colonial until they’d settled on a world I don’t think we’ve ever been shown, but once they settled their new “homeworld” they began to produce their own gear 3) almost immediately, since as stated above, the Cylons were designed initially for military use, so had access to, and were already equipped when the fighting started. That being said I vaguely remember that not all Cylons turned at first, and not all humans wanted to put them down, but eventually the middle grounders on both sides were forced into the extremist camps

@@3adgamd3r Quite logical... I wonder how destructive the initial salvos of the war actually were. Was it a mass slaughter of humans on all worlds that was beaten back by the newly founded Colonial Military? Did the Cylons actually take over the Twelve Worlds and were fought off by a Human Resistance that became Colonial Fleet? How were the battle lines drawn to the point of Cylons having actual territory and the Twelve Colonies being relatively safe from utter Annihilation. Adama describes the Cylon threat as being dire enough that Mankind faced the possibility of extinction (And this was after he stopped the propaganda "fight for freedom" rhetoric of his speech). How close did it get? How rapidly did the Cylons begin developing their own designs (And did this occur before or after their initial Uprising).

[@3adgamd3r]

@@richardched6085 to answer how close did they get? It was at the stage where had the final five not intervened, the Cylons would’ve actually won the first war The Colonials were at breaking point losing manpower and ships faster than they could replace them, this was especially true in the early war It wasn’t until towards the end of the conflict where the colonials were actually beginning to be able to stand their own iirc They Cylons simply had such an overwhelming technological and attritional advantage over the humans I believe it’s talked about in the Canon game Battlestar Galactica Deadlock, however I’m gonna spoil it here so this is the warning. So basically no one had nukes at the beginning of the war due to a nuclear war ten years prior to the conflict (I can’t remember the name of the war) the game makes a big point of saying how they buried their nukes, so that’s why the Cylons couldn’t sneakily nuke them at the beginning of the war, since there were no nukes for them to steal and use, it forced them into a conventional war, and by the time they did have nukes the Colonials had planetary defences against them The new series really makes the Cylon ships look like weak canon fodder, but in the first cylon war they weren’t anywhere close to that weak

One trick to make CGI look better is to use lighting in a clever way. The space scenes in Galactica look absolutely beautiful still when it's nice and dark. But, everytime the CGI was right out in the open, like in a lot of the Caprica scenes in this video, all the shortcomings are blatantly obvious. Remember how bad the Centurions on post-cylon attack Caprica in season one. Or, even how bad they looked in the last season. Lighting is the key to making CGI not just believable but ignorable. It's jarring and takes you out of it to see bad CGI so the best it can do is not have you thinking it's CGI. I really wish they used physical objects like puppets and anamatronics for the centurions or models for ships. It would have made a world of difference.

I think it may have actually been an intentional design choice. Pretty sure I recall that in one of the old reviews about Caprica. Either way both Battlestar and Gaprica were amazing epics no scifi fan should miss.

[@Beerbottles123]

BSG's CGI too had limited budget to start with. It was supposed to be a miniseries. No one thought they'd be popular enough for an entire show to be launched.

[@Anarchist86ed]

The CGI even at the time, wasn't that sophisticated. Now, 11/12 years later it can still really suck but there's another big problem with BSG and its spinoffs... it never was in HD. Like Stargate, we will never get a true high definition transfer. Babylon 5, for example, will also never be seen in high definition. So the show is standard definition and so is the CGI, it will never look any better than it does.

[@Peacekeeper76]

This is fantastic.

[@RobinK]

I love this video so much.

[@michalvitmajer2183]

Fracking awesome

[@markdavid5350]

That's a bloody good video

[@marshmallowbudgie]

0:22 quick detail: unlike the usual full swing of optics, here the cylon is shown focusing

[@raymondcoventry1221]

this is our future if the AI fanatics aren't stopped

[@stephenconnell]

why?

[@Talon0524]

Awesome video, I’d love to see it end with Hera and how the Cylons and humans moved forward “evolution “. Hera the first for Earth’s mankind.

[@oublions]

Je pense très honnêtement que ça pourrait faire un traileur à lui tout seul. Côté Cylons.

[@pipipelican1574]

Wonderfull, thank you

[@TheWinezen]

Netflix or Amazon Prime please pick up Caprica. Save the series like you saved the Expanse. Our wallets are ready

[@sydandtaytum]

it is such a shame that 'caprica' didn't get more seasons. it was a less action-packed, more cerebral show, but i really liked all the moral questions it brought up. just like 'battlestar', it had really great metaphors to modern human life/society.

[@steveleeart]

Wish there had been more seasons of Caprica.

[@sigmaupsilon3768]

Throughout all the episodes, the series showed the conflicts between the working class and the bourgeois class The scary thing is that AI is faster and smarter than us One day it will all come true

[@robd1329]

2021 -we need Galactica back on tv!!!

[@rinse-esnir4010]

It is on Amazon Prime

[@tittonykelhomi7645]

One of the best series in last times For real

[@hydrogenfilms5264]

building a lego robot while watching this is an interesting experience. All this has happened before...

Our own prose warns us: _Thou shalt not create a machine in the likeness of a man_

[@teedee9393]

0:49 they had Colt® M4 Carbines with EOTech® Holographic Sights™ 100,000 years ago?

[@bigwhopper6501]

What are u talking about? Caprica is set 50 years before battlestar galactic series

[@TheGuardingDark_]

Tee Dee "All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again."

[@prestonclay33]

Yes

[@bunnymayflower]

More like 150, 060 years ago.

[@TheNoiseySpectator]

@@bunnymayflower I was going to say that, too.

[@huraibyel-huraiby7462]

I am a monotheist so I am with the Cylons!!

[@murilopenagoncalves3831]

Aren't some Cylons atheists?

[@mrsaltyauthor5992]

Can I just say Hybrids are such an amazing idea, these insane human, machine battleship helmswomen

[@SeaJay_Oceans]

no so much as insane as they are differently cognitive - different than people

[@williamhavranek8565]

It is truly outstanding as an explanation of the hatred of the cylinder race.

[@jeffreyrizzo785]

That was freaking amazing!

[@Shadowkey392]

As bad as Caprica was, you have to admit is was cool seeing the classic Cylons and Cylon Basestars again.

[@Caprica-od6oc]

God, I wish the will try and to continue the story of the Cylons (Caprica) There was so much potential there

[@filipkrisko1150]

Hi where i find online serial Caprica Season 1.5 (not 1)... Im searching everywhere and i find allways only on DVD

[@gavlatennis2824]

Great video. I thought it was a TV series!!

[@dibbsutd]

Never watched the Caprice series, did they explain how and when the Cylons were able to build the Basestars and raiders?

[@thehantavirus]

the older basetars sees much more robust and powerful than the new ones.

[@Mobius_118]

The older ones were built to go toe-to-toe with the Colonial Fleet. The newer ones were built to carry out the nuclear apocalypse on the Twelve Colonies under the assumption that none of their warships would survive, hence the lack of ballistic weapons.

[@steelgreyed]

Nice blend.

[@zam023]

What if Cylons vs Skynet(Terminators). When the colonials were searching for Earth (the 13th colony) and discovered it is under control by Skynet. The Cylons, hot on the heels of the escaping colonials, finds themselves face to face with Skynet's army of Terminators.

[@SR71ABCD]

Then were pretty much Fucked!

[@axehammer3850]

WE'RE BONED !!!

[@TheNoiseySpectator]

They would probably have gotten along as well as the humans of Earth, and the humans of the Thirteen Colonies.

[@PeteyGunn]

That would be soooooo cool...

[@xell5252]

Couldn't happen, you may have forgotten. Battlestar Galactica took place 100,000 years in the PAST, our "Earth" is not the first, or for that matter, the real Earth and "We" are a product and descendants of a hybrid of a cylon/human, Hera Agathon, and the terminator takes place in our future, sooooooo.🤷🏿‍♂️

[@lesliewilson2122]

What are those battle scenes from? The ones of TOS cylon basestars firing on the planet.

[@joseluissalguero6478]

Espectacular el montaje

[@travisegnor2417]

That was awesome.

[@LexFelron]

Holy crap that was good!

[@RadPuppies]

Bravo! Nicely done!

[@anamericancelt6534]

Anyone know of any videos that feel like this? Like for Deep Space 9, Babylon 5, Star Wars, or anime?

[@tfcabral]

Beautiful!

[@SilverKnightPCs]

Great Cylon recruiting ad

[@netsraccjf3965]

I love those original cylon fighters, they look so much better than the new ones !

[@Robert_Douglass]

2:43 wow, look at the size of that base ship.
