IMHO, the most talented, classically trained television/film composer of the new generation. I hope he breaks into major film composing, in a serious way. He has the talent and eclectic background to carry the torch for Maestro Jerry Goldsmith. I wish he would stick more with the traditional, romantic/classical compositions, versus the avante-garde new-agey stuff...because that is where he really shines, IMHO. As examples: Passacaglia, Shape of Things to Come, Violence and Variations, etc.
BSG, Caprica, Walking Dead and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles are some of my favorite TV soundtracks/scores. He's my 2nd favorite composer behind John Williams. Like those shows I mentioned would NOT bet the same without Bear's music, the same way John Williams did for Star Wars and all of Spielburg's movies. :)
Interesting thoughts about how the music 'appealed' to him over other film elements--It was 'Jaws' that made me realize the importance of the musical score: I didn't even know any film composers until I heard John Williams; the importance of that 'dun dun dun dun dun dun' musical cue can't be overstated.

it's hard to believe that inside that head of his is so much great music that has enhanced my life so much
So say we all.

Bear Mcreary = God
I'd love to hear the original musicians of BsG get together again and tour.
A clear spirit indeed.. genius on BSG immortal.
Absolutely adored the new BSG...Season 2 had the best soundtrack imo, "Something Dark is coming" is hands down one of the best pieces of music ever

Great to hear, but why isn't the OST on Spotify?
I feel you..... too less felt in the world. Bear and BSG are immortal...
Shit a bear!!!
Hairy Tom Cruise?
