Battlestar Galactica - Starbuck Saves Apollo

- Scene from the first Battlestar Galactica movie. The Cylons close in, and Adama launches Vipers to repel the attack until the defenseless ships of the Fleet she protects can jump away. Apollo (Lee Adama) is hit and Starbuck (Kara Thrace) comes to his rescue, utilizing an unusual maneuver to get him safely back on board...
Making the Starbuck character an incredibly wicked female combat pilot with a lot of attitude for the reimagined BSG series was a genius move that helped to make all the dynamics work so well and helped to make BSG one of the best series ever on television.
It sucked. Nobody this dysfunctional would ever be allowed to fly a military aircraft. Emotional retardation is not "genius". The series relied way to much on hyper emotionalism and absurd over reactions.
@@cb-gz1vl you forget the part where we're talking about 50k colonists in a couple dozen ships going into space, people dying almost every day. because of an unrelenting robotic enemy that will pursue them to the ends of the universe. if you have an ace pilot in that scenario, you won't really care about how crazy they are. as long as they can do what they're told.
@@aztekenen1 That's in a crisis. But she never would have gotten to pilot in a normal world.
@@cb-gz1vl I believe the Galactica was a bit of a dumping ground for rejects and problem childs. I think Starbuck was originally well adjusted but after the death of her fiance, part due to her actions she went off the rails. Adama always said she was the best pilot.
@@cb-gz1vl I always figured she became that way, and before all the shit was more normal, normal enough to get her wings.
What an excellent show. Katie Sackhoff was excellent. She was also great in Longmire.
Agree, to both
Old fans like me remember the old Viper toys that were sold back in the 80s. Why is this relevant? Well, the maneuver Starbuck does to rescue Apollo, locking her ship into his, is EXACTLY what one could do with the old Viper toys. Every boy got one, and every boy KNOWS this. I reckon so does Ron Moore. ;p
no way haha that's amazing
@@Ueberdoziz
Yea, the toys were sold very early. I recall a choking hazard. Anyho', the gun turret would fit into the nose of the other Viper toy, perfectly locking both toys together.
And this is exactly what Starbuck does here. I laughed :D
@@theGhoulman
I wonder what the LSO thought when he saw the wrong end of a viper coming at him.
@@drmayeda1930 I'm guessing... "fracking Starbuck!"
yep, the care and respect this show showed to the original is amazing.
Even to this day, I still love the dynamics of the first major battle scene. But I just loved how Starbuck's eyes go big realizing "Yeah this is gonna be a hot landing..."
yes the sexual dynamics of smurfs always has been amazing to watch
I liked that but because it was a mannerism the original Starbuck had in similar situations, too.
- Starbuck, what do you hear ?
- Nothing but the rain, sir !
She is the Top Guns "Maverick" of outer space.
Sixteen years and countless watches later, and this scene still gives me goosebumps.
16 already? Man. 15-20 years ago was prime time for great spaceship sci-fi - Galactica, Farscape, Firefly, Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis, not to mention all the Star Trek spinoffs if you were into them. I preferred me some Stargate, everyone says you have to be either a Star Trek or a Star Wars fan, well I was a Stargate fan.
After watching this so many times it is still intense. What a great scene.
Apollo just stares down his death but then she just swoops out of nowhere....such an interesting bond between those two.
What a great show!
@@usul573
Was she dropping flares or firing missiles so she could see.
Fertig real Cool what Session whitch episode
I love to watch starbuck’s face when she’s says not really in that scene
This new Starbuck Unit has bigger balls then the first one...
The old Starbuck unit was a comedian with great luck as a pilot, not a fighter.
Both series are so different, you really can not compare them.
Huge breasticles.
I did think in this scene she actually did a callback to Dirk Benedict with the smirking through uncertainty. "Is this going to *work?" "Sure!" (probably.) :)
5 toasters disliked this video.
Probably the same 5 that got shot down lol
FRAK those skinjobs!
Frak! make it thirty.
After all these years, i'd love to know who the frak put glass windows in a warship's CIC?
So they had something to break, duh! :)
The same guy that didn't put seatbelts on the Enterprise.
That and WHY the frak do they keep replacing them?
IT.
Trouble Could have been a recent addition for the new “museum” that Galactica was on the verge of becoming. A partition to keep the tourists and press from getting their grubby little fingerprints all over everything during the dedication ceremony. Didn’t matter if they slacked off a few days early, and put non-regulation gear up where it didn’t belong. We were at Peace, forty years of Peace.
They should have had Starbuck call Apollo "the cat" throughout the series.
Well he is the caG…
You know that scene in Pirates of the Caribbean where Lord Cutler Beckett says to Captain Jack Sparrow: “You're mad.”
And CJS replies: “Thank goodness for that, 'cause if I wasn't this would probably never work.” That’s Starbuck.
- Looks like you broke your ship, Apollo!
- Not to worry, I'm still flying half a ship...
Hello there!
Don't...dont malign BSG with that Prequel stuff (even if it is Obi-Wan.)
Another happy landing!
Starbuck: not to worry, I'm flying two ships!
Funny cuz Starbuck plays (and voices) Bo-Katan in the SW universe
Gods dammit, I miss this show. Best frackin' space show in a long time.
You used a superfluous "space"
‘You are beyond insane ‘
That’s starbuck! 🤣🤪
in this episode, we should have realized that starbucks is immortal
Immortal but beyond insane... I guess that comes with the territory...
@@koningbolo4700 yeah. Prerequisite for being immortal. Sanity is only for us mortals afterall.
SHE LIKES DEATH?
grab your gun, and bring the cat in
What a great scene. Yet another reason why this show simply ruled.
'You are beyond insane!' best line in the season 1
That was 150,000 years before Qnuts. Now Lee wouldn't even flinch.
i've seen this series multiple times and i'm still here watching like i never seen this ... so freaking intense lol
Same with me. I have the series on that old media DVD (with the little plastic Cylon) and all the other add-on series. AND I STILL watch these if I need a pcik me up at work. BEST SCI-FI SPACE SERIES EVER! "Firefly" a close second.
Kara Thrace (Starbuck) was an example of a strong (though flawed) female hero. Too bad Katee Sackhoff wasn't cast as Captain Marvel instead of Brie "Really, I don't hate men" Larson.
yvonne strahovski would have been good aswell as Katee Sackoff as Captain Marvel
I read that she found the part boring. They should have gotten on their hands and knees and begged her to do the part.
I'll bet the other pilots were freaked out seeing Apollo and Starbuck coming in like that.
Hahaha. The deck crew is like. :oh shit. , starbucks gonna make us work : THIS TIME. ,Frank my life.
I never noticed this before, but Galactica's pods close like 3 separate times in this scene. Lol
I guess its for suspense, but if the watcher pays attention then it becomes obvious, but hey, its sci fi.
It reminds me of my Space battles on Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2005 édition) against the CIS.
Flying between the admiral ships, chasing the insectoid fighters, seeing the countdown before missile impact, hearing the distress signal about the destruction of our sensors...
So much intensity in the dog fights, so much tension... I'd love to play a Battlefront-like Galactica !
I'm surprised that Apollo and Starbuck didn't frack with of the barely repressed sexual-tension.
Starbuck is the man in that friends with benefits scenario.
Starbuck was the best character of the show ... until she got all weird.
you mean when she came back as an angel???
I have to say it is impressive that after everything Husker's Viper went through and I'm glad he got to have one last flight with her
Kickin in the burn!
*Pulls up on pitch for some damn reason.*
Maybe to compensate for the uneven weight distribution?
17 years after first seeing this, I can confirm "WHOOO, looks like you broke your ship, Apollo" is one the best things that isn't in Firefly.
Is it too late to have this be a funny argument?
Lol probably not, but dont forget that the firefly makes a cameo landing in the first episode of the miniseries
*Lee "The Cat" Adama:* _"WE'RE COMIN' IN A LITTLE _*_HOT_*_ DON'T YOU THINK??"_
*Kara "Faceman" Thrace:* "... No...? Not really....?"
LOLOLOLOLOL
Weird, this clip has been up for years, why so many comments in the last couple
weeks?!
youtube's magic algorythme, i suppose ^^
They decided what comes up in people's suggestion list - I guess it's your turn this week.
It's now on iPlayer!
How about now, baby?
3:36 I love the facial expressions from Starbuck at this moment. I don’t know if we ever see her make a face like this again ( at least in the cockpit ) but I love how just this once we see her basically telling herself “yeah this is really insane.”
What episode is this?
I have seen this many times but this is the first time I noticed that the rear end of Apollo's Viper clips the side of the pod as it goes in. 4:03
They do such a great job building the absolute tension in this scene. Galactica's being hit. Adama's son has already been hit. Red shirts on the bridge are dying. How long will Adama wait, losing lives, before giving up on his son and his protégé? How long before Saul or Gaeta just calls it in the name of what's best for the fleet? The civilian fleet is already away...
How many crew are you willing to lose Adama to save two of your best?
Frack it's good.
I think the ship can't jump until the pods are fully retracted
What do ya hear? Nothing but the rain. Ok, grab your gun and bring the cat in.
Just noticed that the last civillian ship away was the Olympic carrier, which ends up being the first that is lost.
This was actually done during the Korean War with one F-86 pushing the other toward home. Didn't end the same way, though...
It happened in Vietnam with F-4s too,
Hope they brought a ton of spare glass with them, that CIC always is breaking something.
Same energy as the firecrackers in Star Trek ship's console.
Вот что такое любовь! Вытащить из под обстрела любимого рискуя своей жизнью.Кто бы еще такое сделал? В жестокой войне не всегда побеждают ум и удача. В самых тяжелых ситуациях человек способен на самые безумные поступки. Незря он говорил, что она больна на всю голову! Она правда сумашедшая!
The understatement of the millennia !
Why is the your resolution all jacked up? You can't record stuff in 1080p? This resolution is all stretched out of shape lol
Whew, didn’t know I could hold my breath for four and a half minutes...
Who is a better pilot ... Starbuck or Han Solo?
Lol, either way the fans win!
Starbuck seems like the obvious answer, but then I remember the Han Solo background cannon and I just don't know.
Gordon Malloy. Best pilot in the Union fleet.
But could starbuck do the kessel run in less than 12 parsecs? XD
Sad to know that Dirk Benedict talked so much trash on Katee Sackhoff. I thought she was awesome in BSG.
Love this show! ❤️
Arguably the best scene of the series
When She's feeling especially frisky, I'll pop in where she doesn't expect me. She goes wild, on fire. I call it the Adama Manuever. THAT was 11 on the 1-10 crazy scale. This one, happening early on, was and still is awesome.
Sees title: do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down
One of the best Bad-Ass momnents of the whole series!!
Epic! Fracking epic!
It`s a while since i watched the show. Where was Galactica`s flak screen in this scene?
ua-cam.com/video/_D2gOvJooEQ/v-deo.html
Obviously, they had to shut it down once Vipers were in the air...
@@amigajoe1 the flak screen is to shield galactica from incoming missiles though and the vipers and raiders don`t normally operate in that area do they? Most of the show the flak screen is active while the fighters are out.
3:25 sounds a bit like halo reach music
It's amazing how Starbuck could get into a Viper with balls that big. Seriously though, interlocking the gun to the nose while in a combat zone takes whatever you want to refer it as being screwed in/on TIGHT.
Shaky camera makes me nauseous.
Starbuck was insanely good pilot. Insane never the less.
Bolters in space
Pardo's Push
I loved this show
Помню эту серию. Это какое-то безумие!
What kid grew up in the 80s and didn't do what Starbuck and Apollo did with our toy Vipers?
And why did they not put grab bars all over the CIC and bridge. People keep falling all over the place and banging their heads and arms and it gets on my nerves.
To me, the best scene in the series, hands down! It set up everything to follow!
YEEEEAAAAAAAH CMOON BIIITCH!!! I love that.
With what happens later with Apollo and the Pegasus should have just left him there
Okay, someone clearly threw that chair through the window.
Nothing like flying Decoupled in space! o7
Discovery is trying too hard to be this and Star Trek at the same time.
Ummm, if all the Vipers minus The Two, were aboard, who were those people still engaging the Raiders? I clearly saw someone circle strafing. 😳
Probably CGI bug or something
Fuck yeah, Starbuck!!!
What season what Episode plz
Thank you, Joseph.
This was probably the best BSG battle. Well this and the Battle on the Asteroid - season 1 episode 10. Season 3&4 battles were garbage.
JAnx01 agree, the pseudo weird concepts they brought into the show were just awful. The writers got lazy or just didn't care and let the shows timeline slip. They had a concept to follow and it looked like they were headed that way and then....plop.
hated apollo.
Shatter could not out do this 😁
What episode is that ?
"They have a plan"
Darin Loken Thank you ! But I can’t find it :/ is it from season one ?
@@miaroronoa8908 No. It is from the mini series which set up season 1. The mini series was a two parter, with each part broken in half, so basically 4 parts. Afterwards came Season 1 Episode 1 "33 seconds" and etc. It is surprisingly hard to find the mini series. They have locked it down pretty good, even 15 years later.
Here is Part 2 of Part 1. The others used to be there but seem to have been deleted.

You can also go to youtube and buy the miniseries.
I did find a Hi Def version, if you don't mind the russian dubbing.

yogibear6363 Ohhh that’s so sweet !you’re a life saver ! I watched all of the seasons but I don’t recall watching that scene! Guess I still have a mini series to watch 😃😃😃😃 Thank you so so much 🙏🏽❤️
Aye aye sir
Anyone know what the music playing behind everything is? Can't find it in the ost.
Look up Japanese war drums.
ua-cam.com/video/C7HL5wYqAbU/v-deo.html
All I know is that it's an original by Bear McCreary, probably "Battle".
@@linusa2996 With respect, the OST for the miniseries was composed and conducted by Richard Gibbs. Correct title, different composer.
No budget for a steady cam? I thought Michael Bay was bad. Very hard to tell what is going on.
It was a stylistic choice. And a good one too to convey distances
Thank the Lords of Kobol that Michael Bay never got his hands on this series. He would have made it exactly the way that he made "Pearl Harbour" - a frakkin' disaster!
@@CathrineMacNiel Convey distance? How about convey what the hell is going on?
I know it is a style choice, and possibly influenced by the limited budget of being a basic cable TV show (it might hide artifacts of the low budget). Still, very hard to follow the action.
@@DJ_Force If you were experiencing this for real,..first person,..trying to capture this action on live video,..do you think it would be easy to follow the action? That is why it was shot the way it was,..to convey a real-ness, like you are actually in the middle of the action trying to follow it. Most of us had no problem following what was going on,..and if I ever did I was happy to re-watch it.
@@stevenjeffrey4637 If I were experiencing this first hand? You mean standing on the nose of the Viper trying to look into the cockpit? Or floating in empty space as ships fly by? Even in the latter case, I'm pretty sure I could keep what I was looking at in the center of my field of view.
The point of the special effects is to show you what's going on, so you can follow the action and the story. I get they are trying to convey a sense of action and energy. I just think they did it poorly.
I couldn't get into this series. It had this negative undertone unlike the good old shows way back then.
Une des meilleures séquences du pilote.
