and was still the best option.

@@mbpaintballa I don't disagree it was the only choice they could make at the time.

Lee not mentioning this during the trial is part of a weird trend i noticed in the rest of the TV series that the miniseries isn't exactly ignored, but there seemed to be a real reluctance to directly reference its events. like there's a scene where Lee asks Baltar to tell him about just one selfless thing he's done in his whole life, Lee will even give him the benefit of the doubt and believe whatever he says with no evidence. my first thought in that scene was the moment where Baltar has the chance to steal the old woman's position on the Raptor when Boomer and Agathon are doing the lottery, but in a fit of (probably guilt-fuelled) uncharacteristic kindness, he doesn't follow through on it. always weirded me out that Baltar doesn't say anything, and from that Lee concludes that he has no examples of selflessness to point to. wonder if it's to do with the writers losing their nerve on a lot of the hard calls; part of the fun of the miniseries is that it writes a lot of absolutely huge checks, but the show then fails to cash them properly, and the writers didn't want to call attention to that.

Could just be a red herring, lord knows this show is filled to the brim with em

he's advocating staying in one place for long enough for the raiders to show up and nuke every single one of them

A lot of ships probably aren’t meant for anything further than in system travel, in bsg the 12 colonies are based around 4 solar systems in close proximity so it’s likely that a lot of ships don’t have one due to not being designed for travel beyond their native solar systems. Think of it like a civilian airliner vs a jet with afterburners capable of supersonic speeds. One isn’t able to make use of afterburners cause it isn’t necessary

@@jfernandez7098 but eve our own solar system is too fast for practical non-FTL flight. It takes 9 minutes for light to travel from sun to earth and 4 hrs to travel to Neptune

@@shepherdlavellen3301 but a lot of ships are self sufficient with onboard equipment for producing food plus there could absolutely be countless stations like Ragnar meant for civilians as checkpoints along the way to planets if they don’t have ftl, plenty of them like the botanical ship could absolutely be designed for longer voyages as they have sufficient crew comforts for such a journey. All we know for certain is that some ships don’t have ftl so there’s got to be a reason like maybe ftl technology is very expensive, maybe more so than every other component of the ship combined

The Miniseries implied that the Twelve Colonies were all in the same system orbiting the same star within easy distance of one another and that FTL drives weren't often used, implying that some planets shared orbits or several of the Colonials actually inhabited moons to each other. It wasn't until S3 and S4 when they revealed that it was a four-star system so such things like sublight only ships beyond fighters and shuttles were an improbable. It was an abandoned concept that never carried onto the main series since all these sublight ships ended up as part of fleet background shots anyway.

Perhaps if all the sub-lights were from Caprica's system...

Probably was too expensive for most civilian ships, which these were. Just like today, civilian ships assume a military vessel will always be nearby to save the day.

The moment they got access to the Colonial computer networks , it was game over. The ability to shutdown the oposing force is just beyond. After that , its only a matter of moping up the stranglers. Its ironic actually. Galactica survived because she was build at a time when people feared hacking. The new ships kind of forgot about it. They thout that putting a few firewalls will protect them against AI.... Even without the backdoors the cylons put in Baltar's program , they still could do a lot of electronic damage - remember the episode where Galactica was forced to network its computers. They had to pruge everything just to recover her after.

I think the Cylons turning up takes away from the scene, them “not knowing” could’ve been used later on.

The depicted distances aren’t that far. At the end of the season 3 finale the show leaves us with the Humans and Cylons facing each other for battle in the Ionian Nebula, and then the camera zooms out to reveal the galaxy, rotates, zooms in on almost the exact same spot, and reveals Earth, but it still took another year for the show to end. However when characters talk they discuss traveling “Millions” of Light-Years. According to a BSG Wiki the 12 colonies exist within a pair of binary star systems which are 0.16 Light Years apart (About 59 Light Days). So Humanity would have little reason to travel much further than that on a regular basis. The systems are around 2,000 Light-Years away from Kobol, which the fleet finds at the end of season 1. So most likely the fleet doesn’t travel more than about 8-10,000 Light-Years during the course of the show.

When the miniseries was made the setting was one solar system with a dozen habitable planets either revolving around its sun or gas giants, but during season two they formalised the setting as being 4 suns that are rotating around each other and a single point between them.

😂 how is this poor leadership more ship would still attack. There is no choice but to leave those sunlight ships. Doesn't matter who is in charge wend the enemy is out to exterminate you.

@@JohnG44 First, you are right when the Cylons find the sunlight ships but everything before that you are wrong. Second, again there are at least three maybe four Vipers with the civilian ships. Third, if you have watched the miniseries this is the second attack. But it was done for shock value nothing more, nothing less. So once again you are overall wrong.

@ak102986 3 vipers vs. 6 raider, they had no chance and the cylon would send more still there was no time.

@@JohnG44 They did have a chance, I think they was only 5 raiders, and even if the Cylon did send more raiders it would buy time for the sublight ships to get a least a little bit away. So, you are wrong, period. Nothing more and nothing less. We see in the series that outnumber Vipers can defeat larger number of Raiders. Since the Viper is superior to the Raider or maybe the pilots are superior to the Raider AI. So, again you are wrong.

@ak102986 viper were outnumber how they gonna gold back wend all the re Raiders lunch their missile at the fleet the colonial hand not fought in years raider were superior roslin did right who knows how many would follow. Thinking the enemy giving you time lol they were following

they're at war--suck it up, do you duty and mourn when there's time.

Not likely, Galactica didn’t have any ammunition for her Flak batteries, all her presence would have accomplished is giving the ship several nuclear hits. One hit cost them nearly a hundred people, that many missiles could have very well destroyed the ship. Without Galactica the survivors in the fleet would be doomed to either die by Cylons or stripped by the Pegasus.

​@jamesxiaolong2199 not to mention that throughout most of the miniseries Adama and the officers wanted to get into the Frey on what you might call the active front. Their plan was to re-arm at Ragnar and use whatever adventage had kept them from being up so far to do try to wrestle control of the system from the cylons. They were like we are soldiers we are meant to fight for our home. When Laura's fleet arrived in the Anchorage she barely talked Tigh/The Military into giving them disaster aid packs. And only because Lee called Tigh's BS they had nothing to spare by pointing out since they intended to fight they would not need some of Galacticas Disaster relief pods. Please let us have two. I am military I know you have them. It was only after Laura yelled at William that the war was lost and they had to tuck runs. That Adamas do or die spirit started to fade and only when a Billy a civilian cozying up to dee in the CiC that the civilians became humanized infront of the military became more than. Just a burden. But their mission to protect

That he changed mind and officially they became the fugitive fleet and left the colonies for good

Avoided lol. The cylon had already hacked the colonial fleet with the virus, and only galactica got saved since it was an older battlestar. The colonies were doomed already.

Cylons have tracking on their missiles, moving would have only burned fuel.

This likely happened off-screen. The novelisation indicates not a lot of ships made it off the surface and those that did were just the lucky ones. 220 (22,000 in the novels) out of how many hundreds if not thousands of ships likely escaped the Cylons.

Sherman was wrong, in hell innocence is spared.

@@jamesxiaolong2199 Sherman never said that, by the way.
