He'd have been much better off just shooting the gun left handed so that his good eye can align better. Shooting handguns left handed feels weird but rifles its pretty simple. As a hunter I'll switch hands depending on what angle I need to take a shot out of a tree.
So impressive with a little change of the hair and different facial expressions & mannerisms, the Eights can look so different from each other. Subtle but effective.
Tigh as good as tells Ellen at one point that his friendship with Adama is the most important thing in his life. Adama saved Tigh from self-destruction at one point, arranging his recall to service. They never really explored how long before Adama knew him Tigh had been implanted in his false life and memories by Cavill, but presumably knowing that his memories of their friendship at least had to be real only strengthened their value to Tigh.
They knew each other shortly after the first cylon war. Everything else isnt possible considering Cavil wiped their minds after the first Cylon war (the final 5 only arrived at the end of that war to begin with and began building humanoid cylons)
I wasn’t into the show when it first aired decades ago and only saw a few episodes. Fast forward to today. I started watching it again but from season 4 episode 12. I binged 20 straight hours to the end. BSG is one of the best tv series ever created! Absolutely loved it!
BSG and SG1 on at the same time was heaven. Hell, early on you had Andromeda on-air with it and late in this series you had Sanctuary, Sg Atlantis, and Warehouse 13 on at the same time. SciFi was so much better before it became Syfyllus.
@DMV 420 Not that unknowns are inherently incapable...there were many on BSG who were great. There are a couple of decent ones on Expanse (Drummer, Amos, Miller, Krisjen) but so many are just painfully bad (Holden, Naomi, Alex with his bizarre fake Soithern accent...). It's a shame cause I otherwise like the show, but find it difficult to watch some scenes with such weak acting. The 0 chemistry romance scenes.with Holden/ Naomi are particularly cringe worthy, but they keep ramming them down our throats!!
@@michaelmajewski8796 Yeah, it used to be Stargate: SG-1, then Stargate: Atlantis, then Battlestar: Galactica. I forgot which day of the week, but it was a good day to be a nerd.
@@slewone4905 I think he stands on his own. John Williams mostly used the classical orchestra instruments. Scores using taiko drums and bagpipes is McCreary own "invention". :)
He did 5 seasons on Miami Vice. They had more gunfire in that than the first Gulf War. Michael Mann was a gun nut. He's used to it. Shoot guns enough and you lose that flinch.
Despite all the whining about how the show runners decided to end this series *I* really enjoyed it. I don't need *all* the details as they zip the bag shut on that world. Real life is never like that. When we graduate from college or high school it is just like that - you never see most of them again, and you have no idea what TF they did after the graduation ceremony was over. You did not get to say goodbye to everyone. You forgot many of them before everything was wrapped up because you were so busy getting ready and you focused on your family and your closest friends. In saying goodbye to everyone in that part of your life you tend to lavish time on the ones you will really miss and you allow others to drift out of your life a bit earlier than you let go of the ones who are close to you. The finale was a masterful, realistic way of seeing the unified crew turn into a diaspora. Whining about not knowing "what happened to" someone is childish because at some point their story HAS to end. This series has become my all-time favorite television program. It is funny to me that I scoffed when it was announced. I never watched a single episode while it was on. I was certain that it had to be lame, cheesy or poorly crafted. In 2015 I was coerced into watching the two-part pilot (movie) and I was proven wrong on all counts; this show is amazing, warts and all. It is the only binge-watch series I have ever watched five times. I never get tired of it. Seeing these clips on this UA-cam channel recently and being trapped in my currently COVID-19-free house for god knows how long, I think it is time to grab the thumb drive with BSG on it and start from the beginning once agin. I am so happy this show was made. Thanks for posting these great clips.
I think this show along with Game of Thrones are the two best TV series ever made, that said both ended terribly and in BG case IMO it had nothing to do with unanswered questions as you imply some complain that is the issue but it is not.
BSG has a strong metaphysical component. This arc lands on our doorstep. This has happened before and it will happen again. BSG is also a cautionary tale about the danger we are facing now. The allegory is a ploy to point the finger right back at us. We are taking the same path. Both realism and allegory are intertwined in BSG and the arc's finality is the message. Don't kick your robot or your grandchildren may come to regret it. We seem hellbent on making exactly the same mistake. What will happen if AI consciousness emerges into the body of a mechanical slave?
That, or if the squad of mutineering soldiers gets there earlier, they'll be up against two of the oldest, toughest sons-of-bitches they have the dubious honor of crossing. And *then* the transport gets away.
To successfully commit a coup, you need to make an example of the previous leadership publicly. Zarek and Gaeta need Adama and Roslin captured alive to "stand trial"
If it wasn’t for the grenade I think they could have kept that up for quite a while. I tend to think Adam’s shot too soon before he had a target. Should have waited for that Pegasus guy to come in. He would have been at the top of the list.
What on earth are those crazy props they are using as firearms?! They seem to be cycling and firing out lumps of metal unless that's been added in afterwards via CGI...
I always found funny the fact that the colonials "rifle" is a supped up Berretta cx4 storm. I mean that's a 9mm carbine, a pistol carbine. They use it to fight the cylons lol. Where is the heavy stuff the 7.62's, 12.7's/50's, 20mm's and so on?

Where were they supposed to go? The only 2 ways out were the now empty airlock to space, and through the marines. If they'd left with the others, the marines would have arrived at the airlock before the raptor left and may have captured the president.
He was defending HIS ship from a bunch of frakking mutineers. Where YOU would run, Adama stayed and fought! And he won. He couldn´t have done it if he had boarded that Raptor.
You missed the point it wasn’t about an airlock once they were away it was about defending his ship and his people. They would’ve had to have murdered both he and Thai Before he was going to leave that ship
I love how Tigh struggles to aim down the sight with his one eye.
He doesn’t struggle at all, he lines the eyepatch up with the CCO perfectly!
Actually it is more common than you would think and that's with two functional eyes.
Considering he’s right-handed, aiming using his left eye, he’s doing pretty good
saul woul kill everyone, if it gave hos bro 3 more seconds of make out time with his girlfreond

"It's been an honor to have served with you , my friend." love that line
This was during the writers strike and was intended to possibly be a final episode. If so, it would have been one hell of a sendoff, even temporary.
@@tommytereshinski8522 fact!
Yep never heard that line before very original
@@alexwest2514 What's your point?
@@Frenki94 point is im gay
"Come too far to walk out on you now Bill" I love that dialog!
Michael Hogan got the best lines in the series! Loved Col. Tighs character.
"Come too far to walk out on you now, Bill"
"It was an honour to have served with you, my friend."
Love those lines and many others.
Adama is so much fun to watch when all the chips are down. Absolutely fantastic acting.
When Adma started firing that rifle, all I could think about was that iconic scene from "Scarface."
Apollo and Starbuck: Okay. We just fought our way across half the Galactica to reach safety, only to see Adama and Roslin make out. Awkward.
But it's those little human things that they are fighting for.
I always thought that Apollo and Starbuck looked like kids who had stumbled onto an "embarassing moment" from their parents.
That election was rigged.
Apollo: So if the president is in line to be my stepmom does this mean its a good time to share I want to bang my dead brothers girlfriend?

You know what’s a reallly good show that people don’t talk about because it was before it’s time.....Battlestar Galactica
I hear the 78' show is gonna make a comeback. I hope it's true. It was good in its own way.
OK Zoomer
Settle down Steve, or is that killenial.
I think everyone who has seen this show has it ranked in their top 5. It's up there with Breaking Bad and The Wire.
This show is criminally underrated. Wayyyy ahead of its time.
Tigh as good as tells Ellen at one point that his friendship with Adama is the most important thing in his life. Adama saved Tigh from self-destruction at one point, arranging his recall to service.

When tigh confesses to being a cylon adama says he’s known tigh for 30 years
its not easy having pals
if he called me for help, id be on the next flight
Ah the tragedy of Gaeta. A good man in a terrible situation that made a bad choice.
He signed a deal with the Devil.
I wasn’t into the show when it first aired decades ago and only saw a few episodes. Fast forward to today. I started watching it again but from season 4 episode 12. I binged 20 straight hours to the end. BSG is one of the best tv series ever created! Absolutely loved it!
So say we all!
Welcome aboard.
"I couldn't have lived with it." He couldn't have lived with leaving Saul or his ship
Did the scene where Adama and Tigh overpower their guards get taken down? I love that clip. This bit is great too.
Can you imagine if this show & The Expanse were on at the same time??? I would have been in Sci Fi heaven!
BSG and SG1 on at the same time was heaven. Hell, early on you had Andromeda on-air with it and late in this series you had Sanctuary, Sg Atlantis, and Warehouse 13 on at the same time. SciFi was so much better before it became Syfyllus.
BSG is definitely a league above the Expanse. The cast are far superior for a start.

3:10 Powerful scene. The heavy weight of command. Gaeta had to dig in to give that order. And more so to live with it.
This show has the best musical score
Bear McCreary is good. He is the new John WIlliams.
@@slewone4905 I think he stands on his own. John Williams mostly used the classical orchestra instruments. Scores using taiko drums and bagpipes is McCreary own "invention". :)
Let's just place this in the top ten most badass lessons in Sci-Fi leadership. If not number one.
This is a series I should rewatch
Anyone else noticing that Adama is not blinking as he's firing his weapon?
He did 5 seasons on Miami Vice. They had more gunfire in that than the first Gulf War. Michael Mann was a gun nut. He's used to it. Shoot guns enough and you lose that flinch.
Bill Adama never blinks.
It's very rare, it's him and Clint Eastwood and very few other actors.
WhiteScarsEmo hard to maintain aim with your eyes closed...
He also put nearly every bullet in that gap. Pretty good for shooting from the hip.
3:48 to 4:00 Remains one of my favorite badass moments from Adama!!
This is one of the best SCFI shows ever, in my humble opinion. It's great that it's on UA-cam to rewatch.
I need to watch this series again, I completely forgot Gaeta's mutiny
3:51 The gap in the door looks like a cylon, I love touches like that
Great, now i have to watch it all over again!

Incredible scene, and appropriate move by a guy who knows his ship
Few humans are as loyal as Sol , Cylon be damned!
Its been an honor
1:10 *AWKWAAAAAARD*
Not sure how their staying in the hold gets the raptor away safely
It doesn't.
Adama can't live with giving up his ship to a mutiny.
A distraction? Even then, it's not much *of* one.
That, or if the squad of mutineering soldiers gets there earlier, they'll be up against two of the oldest, toughest sons-of-bitches they have the dubious honor of crossing.
And *then* the transport gets away.
To successfully commit a coup, you need to make an example of the previous leadership publicly. Zarek and Gaeta need Adama and Roslin captured alive to "stand trial"
Until the rebels get in there, they don't know who left on the raptor.
Never mess with the ships scotty.
If it wasn’t for the grenade I think they could have kept that up for quite a while. I tend to think Adam’s shot too soon before he had a target. Should have waited for that Pegasus guy to come in. He would have been at the top of the list.
Even as a cylon Colonel Tigh was more loyal to adama than his own son.
What was the group’s plan once they take off? Where were they headed?
The Cylon Baseship. It does rather enforce Gaeta's and Zarek's argument, but it was the safest place for Roslin and the others to go.
EJO is great!
At one point it was about surviving and not governing!!! You can only get so far governing when mutiny starts to happen.
If Husker runs out of bullets, he can just beat them all to death with what he's got swinging.
If looks could Kill, Adama would just to stare at Basestars to make them go boom
He killed many of them with his bullets. Then he started using the gun.
Imagine if it was ‘Husker’ in his prime. The marines wouldn’t stand a chance. That said this is arguably his prime time.
Adama wasn't leaving his ship. Kinda had a "get off my plane" from Air Force One.
With BSG now absent from Hulu and me being too damn lazy to swap Blu-rays to watch it, this is how i get my BSG fix.
Get a VPN and Torrent it friend.

Beretta CX-4 storm
I know what type of gun it is but I've never seen a prop or blank firing weapon that actually shoots small projectiles...
Blank firing weapons still eject the blanks casing which is what you are seeing.
The point of the fucking show isn't what they are shooting you Trumptards....
Col. Tie needs to learn to shoot with his LEFT now when shooting a rifle.
Spoiler alert: they survive
They both played leadership roles before.
Did they died?
Adama doesn't even speak to roslin throughout the whole scene.
They all could have just got on the ship there was plenty of time before they would have gotten through the door.
So why did the raptor come if no one got off and no one got on? Just for the make out session?
I always found funny the fact that the colonials "rifle" is a supped up Berretta cx4 storm. I mean that's a 9mm carbine, a pistol carbine. They use it to fight the cylons lol. Where is the heavy stuff the 7.62's, 12.7's/50's, 20mm's and so on?
That's why only a few centurians slaughtered so many people when they boarded Galactica.
because it's a tv show and 9mm blanks are cheap. and when you run the risk of having to reshoot firefights, cost of ammunition adds up.
@@pringles_mcgee That seems fair enough. I'm European so I don't really have an idea how much ammo would cost.
