[@CrazyChemistPL]

The reimagined BSG. In my humble opinion, as a whole, Miniseries + show - for me, personally, the best piece of television ever made. Call me an ignorant, but this is how I feel.

[@markusgalt8727]

ignoring the conclusion of the show, you're right!

[@CrazyChemistPL]

Markus Galt Seriously, am I the ONLY one who liked that conclusion?!

[@pyropete1723]

Simeon Jankovic Loved it - simply epic, but a little predictable

[@markusgalt8727]

Loving something and enjoying something, is different to making an objective statement regarding quality. The final 3 episodes invalidate most of what made Battlestar the best show ever made. You still have those great episodes and morality plays. bit the nonsensical contradictory content of the final episode invalidated the shows intelligence. Just about every plot point doesn't make sense thanks to the final episode. It was a great ride. But whether or not you enjoy the show is not the same as its quality. One random example: Hera displayed clear overt Cylon projection powers. So? By the final episode that is irrelevant - we don't display that ability, it's meaningless and so THE ENTIRE ABILITY OF CYLONS TO PROJECT IS MEANINGLESS. What was the point? That is one of hundreds of threads the final eps could have dealt with. It's a great episode but it also makes the entire series poor.

[@CrazyChemistPL]

Markus Galt I for one applaud Battlestar for having the balls of actually implementing some sort of mysticism, higher power/God and prophecies as a viable, functioning forces that drive people fates and sticking with them to the very end. I like the idea that God of some sorts is very present in that universe. It just makes the whole thing more special. As for Hera and the question of projection - I have my own explanation for that. For me it is safe to say that this trait got "diluted" during the 15000 years between Colonial survivors arriving to Earth and current times, and as such it is now reduced to not much more than vivid imagination, imagination that is perhaps more profound that imagination of average human from the "12 Colonies era". And for some people this trait manifests itself more visibly, in form of the eidetic memory. But overally I agree - this explanation may be viewed as far-fetched, and whole aspect of Hera being able to project is a weak point. Like I said - I wrote what I feel, and one rather cannot force himself or herself to feel different, don't you think?

[@kinsmed]

How cool that she is every bit as fascinated with the Viper as an actor, as a character, and a fan.

[@DrQuizzler]

You've put it very accurately. She seemed to enjoy seeing the model and playing with it from all three perspectives, and it helped her to reminisce a little about hoe they shot the viper battle scenes.

[@shanejett3550]

@kobeno1: that's interesting to hear. I know ur comment is 2 years old..... I never saw the original but the remake was probably IMO the greatest series of all time. It was a sci-fi but it also had great characters, storyline n drama. I'm a sci-fi fan, but there isn't too many decent sci-fi series IMO. Katie was great as Starbuck especially bc she made it her own - as I am led to believe - but I still think James Callis as Gauis Balter was better. His character was such a kniving, pathetic, wimpy, weasel at times. Almost every scene he did was brilliant.

[@shanejett3550]

@@ericdraven7185: I never found her attractive or cute. Maybe she was too scary for me. lol

[@richardgreenleaf3259]

To be honest, I wasn't skeptical. I'd grown up on the original series, it debuted not too long before my baby sister was born. When reruns were on we'd watch them as often as possible. The big thing was really watching Starbuck, Apollo, Boomer, and Muffit because, well, they were starfighter pilots, which I thought was cool, and a robot dog (also cool). Adama was a lesser extent for me, I really wanted to see the pilots and the robot dog. When they announced the miniseries I was interested to see what it was going to be like. It didn't bug me that they'd changed some character's genders (not to mention race as well in the case of Boomer), I wanted to see if it could feel like what I'd enjoyed as a kid and a teenager. The re-imagined series is, for me, a rare instance of being as good as the original. Not better than, but as good as. And I have the complete series for both the original and the re-imagined.

[@DJ_Force]

No disrespect for the actor, but this is why I never could get into the reimagining. Starbuck was really the star of the original, and they should have stayed as close to the original with that character as possible. It's like if they reimagined Star Wars, but this time Han Solo wasn't a swashbuckling ladies man, but an alcoholic lesbian with PTSD.

A lot of the really good shows didn't have ungodly long runs.BSG didn't have a chance to get stale or stretch the plotlines too thin. It was alive and kicking from start to finish, at least in my opinion. A lot of 'popular' shows run too long, plotlines get recycled too often and they have lots of filler episodes that don't contribute anything to the overall story arc. I'd have loved to see more BSG, but I'm content with how long the it went. I'm just happy it didn't get cancelled before the end

[@s0nnyburnett]

This is one of the very few series where if you skip a single episode you will miss out on something important later. There really are no filler episodes at all, the writers were incredibly consistent it's astounding really.

Your comment only confirms my point. The media boasts feminism. We are flooded with "bad-ass" female characters while most males have been diminished to simple baffoons. Pay attention to just about any commercial or sit-com or even "cop shows". It's always the woman who is the smart and sometimes gritty saviour. Meanwhile, it's usually a white male projected as a complete moron and clueless without the female character to help him. You may disagree with me.

I didn't have cable tv when the series came out, but I binge watched it in 2011 online. Maybe 2-3 episodes per night. Now, in 2022, I just got done watching it again. First of all I can't even believe that it had been 11 years since I had watched it the first time. Secondly, it's amazing that when I watched it the first time, I was still coming to it 2 years after it had ended, but it's always held up well to time. The story, the character development, and the acting were tremendous, but even the special effects still hold up well when watched all these years later. A big part of the reason I connected with Katee's Starbuck character, is that she not only looked somewhat like, but also had the disposition much like a particular hard drinking, fighting, cussing, blonde female soldier I served with in the army stationed in Germany. The kind who would take it as a personal challenge to out drink you, and fight you like a man in the bar, and could throw a haymaker as good as most of the guys. I know, because she bloodied one pretty big guy in the barracks who was trying to assault her once. He was a legit 'roid head lifter type, but she rung his bell and left his blood splattered on the wall of the hallway. Saw it happen myself. But then I invited her to punch me once in a drunken challenge down at the base bar to see how hard she could punch, and she did... in the face. It wasn't nothing. LOL But she was still a much better soldier than you might have expected given her behavior off duty. And not a female trying to act tough like the guys. One who actually was tough. It's like they lifted Kara Thrace's character straight from the Christina Thomas I knew.

She strikes me as a real person. she's not "glammed up" or anything. She seems really approachable and down to earth. Cool,man. :-)

[@ninjazhu]

that's so cool seeing adama and starbuck out of character - not yelling at each other :D

[@Carofdoom1126]

Watching this while currently on Season 2. "I'm not sure what rank I was, I think I was a captain when I died..." Oh, I should not have heard that.

[@gunzmith29r]

but she came back alive

[@TheByQQ]

Gunzmith Dragonkind Sure, she did.

[@joeblow9661]

Well, yeah, if you want to avoid spoilers you should probably avoid watching interviews, or just about anything else to do with a show, when you are watching seasons that originally aired years ago. ...as i reply to a comment that originally posted years ago...

[@LoyaltyasHonor]

Joe Blow don't worry, I too often post on things years old.

[@masterchief6472]

@@joeblow9661 idk why but I felt sad reading the last part lol. Yet it gave me a little bit of happiness knowing this show has brought us all together even after so many years :)

[@lindamuvic8110]

Love the direction Edward James Olmos gives Katee Sackhoff at the end of this video. Great actor, director, producer, who mentored a lot of these young actors really gives back to the acting community, fun video love the behind the scenes.

[@7th_CAV_Trooper]

She's describing what it's like to be an actual pilot. I got my flight training in Florida, so yeah, the cockpit is hot.

[@RobertKaydoo]

I hear ya' brother. I fly out of Deer Valley (KDVT) in Phoenix, Arizona. As uncomfortable as it can be flying in a hot cockpit I prefer it to the cold. Peace.

[@chanchito4401]

Starbuck is the perfect example of a powerful female role model that doesn't beat us over the head with a forced message or try to bring men down. She is just the coolest!

[@CrazyChemistPL]

We've got violent awesomness irradiating from the starboard Mr. Eddie Olmos...

[@BrachioInGen]

I ADORE Katee. Thank you all for bringing her in and making these pieces! They are AMAZING

[@BulletMagnetMan]

Ok. I'm re-watching all of it ... right frakking now.

[@albertlsco1840]

Katee is the nicest, honest and most sincere actor I have ever met or seen. And a really good egg! My absolute favorite!

[@666Maeglin]

Maybe the fact she could not say her text was due to being hyperthermic

[@scarakus]

Love the 'Cardboard Box' analogy, been there, and done that.

[@robbie4860]

Sorry Katee, for not hearing/understanding one word you said about that Viper.. Your just so cute ;-)

[@fobbitoperator3620]

Werrrrrrrd!

[@yellow13_]

This is cringe

[@bhoqeem1975]

I love you, Katee! Thank you for playing all of your characters!

[@luska5522]

Olmos is always so amazing that every time he speaks i listen like hes my commanding officer

[@totophi]

So say we all. Did you see him in "Stand And Deliver"?

[@Ricky-nq7lu]

As a kid growing up with the show I have to say I miss you guy's.... Thank you for letting this brother dream that there are no limits in the world apart from those we put on ourselves...

[@jwilliams703]

Angel in the show and an angel in RL. shes great.

[@ELegend_24]

I was an original BSG fan, so Starbucks being a girl was a huge disappointment until I actually watched the show and completely fell in love with it, and her. I had the good fortune of messaging with katee once on facebook. We exchanged a few quips about Starbuck and my crush on her Starbuck character and had a couple of laughs. Katee is a wonderful, human being very genuine and along with Edward James the reason why BSG was such a huge success.

[@sordello51]

I loved and hated the show at the same time. It reminded me of the cold war nightmares. It really reminded me of growing up in the 60's.

[@Davman316]

I miss this series, the actors, writing, production and sfx was all stellar.

[@Ken-dv9uf]

Katee Sackoff......Wowzer!!! 💖😍👀

[@missymoonwillow6545]

I'm so touched by this video. Aww you guys. Thank you so much for everything. Battlestar has become a family favorite, the richness of each character apart of our journey through life now and always. So grateful, and this was an amazing treat for all. Blessings be upon the brave crew of the Battlestar Galactica!

[@Deusmecumest]

I loved the devil might care atitude you portrayed just as good as Dirk benedikt. Starbuck. You were great.

[@mikereger1186]

Calo Q. - wasn’t sure when I heard of the swapped gender... but Katee made the role her own, she was well written as a complicated screwup and by the end we were sorry to see her go. And so say we all.

[@Deusmecumest]

@@mikereger1186 and so say we all

[@RaijinKaze]

The thing is that filmmaking has come a long way since then in a few short years. Prop makers, set designers, and costume designers actually make stuff that looks good and has proper ventilation and cooling for actors. Take most MCU costumes. There are houses that filter cold water thought to keep them cool.

[@junior1138]

Hmmmm The way she is talking, the flight suit bordered on being “real.” (This is possibly why the show was so good: much of the tech looked like it could be genuine.) Would it have been a problem to have cold air blown into the suit?

[@DaleRaby]

Thank you, Ma'am, for all the hardships you endured to entertain us.

[@bobcrensel]

Cool video, Love BSG! But Is it not "Sackhoff"?

[@iancorrie7043]

Two works of art in one video.💘
