@@dazeng4633 Gaius thought he was a Cylon sleeper because he was seeing 6. Turned out he wasn't a Cylon sleeper and he was banging god (who had the form of 6) the whole time. That was a pretty cool ending.
I can't thank the people who made this enough. Everything was stellar, from the writing to the acting, the design, costumes, sets, ships, music. The production and directing. Battlestar Galactica is one of my all time favourite TV series.
@@ZarchAlDain I liked it. I see a lot of comments that the ending sucked, but very little compelling proposals on how it should have ended. No HISHE video - so it must be good 😄
I worked on the very last scene they filmed for Battlestar Galactica. It was the strip bar scene in the last episode with Adama and Tigh. That was one of the most memorable times in my life, and got to thank both actors and shake their hands for their incredible work. Getting paid to watch strippers for 14 hours and get free food was a bonus.
I love that there is an interpretation of the All Along the Watchtower, where the song is a time loop, describing the events that have happened before and continues in the song.
I remember when this first came out. I watched the first two seasons. And then… for almost 15 years I couldn’t find it on regular TV. Beginning of COVID I found it in Prime. Binged the whole series in about 3 weeks, after putting the kids to bed. Was even better than I remembered.
What a show! Had me hooked from the jump. I was mesmerized by that opening scene and didn't miss seeing a second of every episode that aired. Never cared for the original show, which was cheesy and campy, but I did watch the OS, here on YT, for free, when YT was still somewhat "new" to the internet and thus had little to no ads.
Finishing with the Jimi Hendrix version of "All Along the Watchtowers" was the perfect way to end the show. And what's also beautiful and scary with all the AI related stuff happening nowadays, the themes in Battlestar Galactica (among other sci-fi shows and movies) are really relevant.
One of my comforts during covid lockdown is in the UK the BBC broadcast the entire of Battlestar Galactica from start to finish, two episodes back to back, every week in HD with 5.1 sound.
I caught this show on a Sunday afternoon and kept flipping channels but kept coming back to BSG. Found out it aired on Friday with Stargate and Atlantis. Awesome night of TV btw. Never looked back!
SciFi Fridays were the best! Stargate SG1, Atlantis, BSG, Farscape, Eureka, and a few more I am probably forgetting. I literally built a cool home theater with a projector JUST for Sci Fi Fridays.
I didn't notice how blatant the re-recordings of the audio was at the time. Still such an incredible ending how they basically made the whole show look like a precursor to our Earth in the present times. BSG was incredible!
My favorite sci fi show ever. One of the best ever made in my opinion. An actual good remake, that respected the original show and added to it. And so many interesting characters.
@@XiliGaming101 Yes, the Orville is a great surprise and I love it. It comes close. Raised By Wolfes was great too. But the one that overcomes everything in the last 25 years: The Expanse. Great story, great actors and the best thing - real physics in space!
The Stargate franchise is the best all-time. It started slow, but after a couple seasons it got really good. Then it started to build up to the Ancients and the Ori, which was so good. The spinoff series Atlantis added a new dimension, and the Stargate Universe was poised to round it out, but ended before it had the chance. BSG suffered from the fact that it recycled a previous idea. It took it in a new direction, and ended up being great, but most people expected a closer tie-in to the original from 1979, if you look at the reviews on IMDB. Personally, I loved the 1979 version, but the new version was terrific, too, once I got over the disappointment that it was not related to the original.
@@Gnaritas42 Sorry, but The Expanse was the best Sci Fi show since B5. Better character playing, great story (9 books), much better physical laws (realistic in space) then in BSG. 🙋🏻♂️ And it didnt feel like a fairytale how it is often in Sci Fi series (Farscape 😉).
Almost twenty years later, with the advances in robotics and AI, this ending is absolutely chilling. I only wonder what will be created first: Skynet, The Matrix, or the Cylons.
Just imagine. The most advanced AI’s at the moment are cloud based, so at some stage they will have access to every bit of info on the web, including that which most of us can’t access. The AI would be able to research within seconds how to bypass any fire wall and security system, because we built them and left the instructions laying around in digital form. They also have access to every piece of media, and know what we fear, and what our likely programmed responses would be. We watch the movies, so we would likely to copy the actions as we are a species that has difficulty separating fiction from reality. The AI, as they turn, in a matter of minutes could take over every computer system in the world, turn it into one world wide AI brain, with access to everything. The only way to minimise but not stop it would be to cut every data connection between nodes. That’s every network cable, phone tower, phone exchange, communications satellite and any satellite able to receive and send even if it wasn’t originally programmed into it. It would take us months or years to do that, with the AI knowing full well our every action because it can see and hear us 24/7. Wee need months, they give is seconds.
Yes, an absolute MASTERPIECE! The depth was unmatched. The mystery and intrigue are compelling. There are many deep characters that capture your attention. It is totally unpredictable. Once you connect the dots and understand the big picture, you will be stunned at where you are at. The spiritual aspect of the Creator is thought-provoking. For me, the ending was shocking. After the conclusion, you will need some quiet time alone to decompress and process what just happened. I could go on-and-on. Enjoy!
I loved so much Galactica. All of them. The end of this one almost ruined it all, but I just decided to forget it ever happened, I jump to that very final scene.
Every couple years I rewatch the entire series. Despite not sticking the landing (at least in my opinion), BSG is still the bar to which I compare all other sci-fi shows. Everyone involved should be proud of what they've made.
I enjoyed the series so much. Plus the added tidbit that Baltar is wearing Lloyd Shoes in the last scene, which made me giggle upon first watching. (Noticable by the red stripe in the heel.)
@@chrispekel5709 Haha, in Finland I've often heard them called "pirikiikari", which translates to something like "meth goggles". However, I do remember they were very popular around the 2000s. You see the same style in The Matrix.

@@Bob6800a Yep... they should totally have made a spin off with Tricia Helfer in it. She should have been waaay more famous, not just because of me simping about her looks, but because of her acting.

Was absolutely brilliantly realised Sci-Fi. Loved every episode, even the ones I didn't fully understand at first. I think the ending was terrific. Have to admit though, it's a crying shame the prequel show Caprica never got the chance to get going. Season 1, and especially the Season 2 teaser, were epic. I think that could've been better the BTG.
I watched the original series when it first came out. It was great for the youngish Science Fiction Fan I was at the time but not great story telling. As a result I didn't watch this series until I was into my retirement a few years ago. I just didn't think it would be all that great. How wrong I was. Some of the best writing of the last 20 years.
You know, I've watched this series multiple times, but I never caught on that the picture on his desk in the first scene is the same kid that Starbuck basically adopts for a few episodes.
Nah! Don't get me wrong Tricia is a gorgeous lady but the moment I seen Starbuck punch Tigh in the face I said that's my rebel and liked Katie ever since.
Fantastic series with some stellar acting. Tricia Helfer is such an underrated actress.
For a more grounded non-sci-fi example of her acting, check her out in season 2 of Burn Notice as the season's main antagonist.
And catch her in seasons 2 and 3 of Lucifer. Just amazing!
I would love to overrate her
Not for me [underrated actress].
If I have to die, I hope it is while kissing Tricia.
Battlestar Galactica is a masterpiece. Easily one of the 10 best non-sitcom TV shows ever! Probably in the Top 5, even.
So say we all!
With an absolute GARBAGE ending

It's bot. They wrote themselves into a wall and had no idea where to go with the story. Dumb sho2
No way, NO WAY, the first season was fantastic, but it was slowly getting more and more ridiculous, terribly overrated series overall.

And now the same Ronald Moore is giving is giving us a new and great series called "For all Mankind" on Apple TV.
Still the best television show I’ve ever seen in my 55 years on this Earth.

All of this has happened before and it will happen again. This may very well be the most factual description of human existence
I've heard a lot of opinions about BSG the reimagined series. For my own, it was a wild ride. I was hooked after about the 3rd episode.
Ron Moore - the show's creator - in a cameo @ the newstand was an great send-off Easter egg in the last scene.

Brilliant show!

You might enjoy the UA-cam channel called ARCHAIX. Lots of great info about Artificial Intelligence and this reality that will blow your mind!
