Centurion: I never thought I'd cease functioning fighting side by side with a Human.
Colonial: What about side by side with a friend?
Centurion: By your Command.
YOU HAVE JUST WON THE BEST COMMENT AWARD
The rebel centurions were superstars...
Modern Centurions don't talk, and they certainly don't take commands from humans...
@@ValiantWrestlingi did wonder about that, they must have a way of communicating with the human-model Cylons at least.
They can take commands from humans if in the command structure.
6:54 I always liked this scene. The "Newer" Cylon goes down in a few hits while the "Classic" Cylon just tanks them.
true the classic Cylons were originally made to have free will so it made sense they were tougher as Cylons value life ( and maybe resurrection ships aren't everywhere. the newer Cylons were only made to attack in numbers so can't take many hits and don't have free will so no life value. plus the more they die the more they learn
The Clyons that accompanied Cavill Prime seemed to be better armored
@@christinafacebook5665 original cylons also didn't have resurrection. that came with the final five coming to the 12 colonies at the end of the first cylon war.
Honestly, I always felt that the Rebel Cylons should've had more than a few of the original Centurions with them since they'd possess some form of free will as well.
@@Mobius_118 The older Model 0005 Centurions were quite rare and only found in the Colony. Given their hatred of humanity they undoubtedly supported Cavil in his coup against the Final Five. That or Cavil removed their free will with Inhibitors like the modern Centurions.
I love how the Galactica looked more and more battered and beaten up as the series progressed. Great continuity.
It certainly let them get use out of advancing tech as the show went on. The mini series couldn't have pulled off the level of detail they had on the finale, that's for sure.
meh..
The final jump it made to earth. They way it bent and shuttered when it entered normal space. You just new that the old girl made it’s final jump, the fight was over for it.
@@davegreenwood2643 She broken her back, she'll never jump again
Col. Saul Tigh XO Battlestar Galactica and member of the Group known as the final Five
@Freddie Miller Jr are you aware that there are points connecting BSG and the Trek timeline other then our earth 🌎
When you realize the series begins with a Cylon attack on 12 human colonies, and ends with a human attack on a Cylon colony. And each colony represents a deity.
Local rust bucket literally too angry to die and decides to kill God
lol, never put that together, but your spot on.
It's called retaliation. And it's justified.
The Battle of the Colony is a perfect bookend in regards to the show's theme of events being cyclical in nature.
- Cylons used Colonial technology to disable and undermine Colonial defences, the Colonials used the Cylon hybrids to disable and undermine Cylon defences.
- Cylons used small numbers of agents to infiltrate the Colonies to prepare for the attack, the Colonials used small teams to do the same.
- Cylons used nuclear weapons to destroy the Colonial planets and population centres, Racetrack unwittingly used Colonial nuclear weapons to completely devastate the Colony.
Not a colony...
The colony.
It's not like the Cylons had more than one...
I find it poetic that most of the Cylons perished cuz their military control was hacked.
Well, they just got a taste of their own medicine. XD
With the words of the Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine: "ironic".
Virgin pegasus blows apart after ramming a single basestar
Chad galactica endures years of battle, a barrage of railgun fire from a ship many many times it's size, rams said ship, literally rots away before it can be destroyed bc it's too angry to frakking die
Pegasus survived a nuke. The colony may not have as much armor. The resurrection ship had none. As I remember, it was totally defenseless. And that was their most important vessel.
@@slewone4905 ok
@@slewone4905 Galactica took a nuke at the beginning in the mini-series. "Brace for contact my friend."
ua-cam.com/video/3JxXq7qes5I/v-deo.html
I don't think they were using rail guns, pretty sure it was artillery shells and high calibre bullets propelled by standard chemical explosives. At best they might have been using some coil guns.
That’s the thing that really burns me. Pegasus should have gone out with her fists swinging, not slamming headfirst into a wall. A real, true last stand against dozens of Baseships
Tigh: "All hands brace for impact."
Everybody else on the ship: "Nah, it'll be fine."
And still drilling through the plating of that station with ship itself made less rocks and stuff fall and consoles explode then in an average Star Trek episode when thy get a glancing hit on their shields.
Brace for what?
“Never thought I’d die fighting side-by-side with a toaster...”
“What about side-by-side with a friend?”
“So say we all.”
THIS IS WHY HUMANS SHOULD GIVE SOULS TO MACHINES,,,THEY BECOME FULL HATE
Aye, I could do that.
That reminds me of the Return of Starbuck episoide in Gallactica 1980 marooned with Centurian flight leader Cyrus...
@@truthoftheuniverse4179 - WHAT the frack?
Father Cavil was all the hate they needed.
I bet there were quite a few Cylons who protected the families they served during the initial Cylon Uprising. But after the official declaration of war between Cylon Command and the Twelve Colonies these Cylons had to flee Cyrannus in order to escape the retribution of Colonial Fleet and the differing ideologies of their anti-human brethren. They'd undoubtedly find a world to settle elsewhere and may have even welcomed the freed Modern Centurions into their society 56 years later.
Battlestar literally too angry to die!
THE CYLONS WARS START BECAUSE A STUPID CHILD
CMON GOD BUT THE HUMAN CYLONS
It took a sun to kill her!
And she took the sun with her!
@@housecoatgaming She probably didn't die. She's just sitting there, letting her anger fuel the sun.
@@Mobius_118 She's waiting for a time when she needs to defend humanity again.
Not in real life...
Really shows just how tough Battlestars were. If it wasn't for the virus, they would've mopped the floor with the Cylon fleet.
They had more than these ships, we just never saw them in the show, granted these ships were the most numerous. These ships were purpose built to carry out the attacks on the colonies. The other ships were held back under the assumption that the attack would've destroyed humanity.
@@alexandericeshade6302 they actually don’t have any other newer official design of ships, their whole plan was to make missile launching carriers that, whilst the base ships nuked the fleet and colonies, the raiders were mopping up the fighters and smaller vessels
Had Galactica not been under Adama’s command, the networks would’ve been linked onboard, they’d have been completely vulnerable to the virus and they would’ve been destroyed as well
So really their plan was a perfect solution to a modern military, but failed to take into account anyone old school enough to be running completely manual
Another fluke that destroyed their plans was the crew aboard Galactica rebuilding actual MK2 Vipers for the museum, instead of non functional models, had Galactica not had those antiques restored purely out of love for Adama, Galactica would’ve been destroyed
Their Plan ultimately came apart by pure chance (although given the context of there being an actual God in this universe, it’s more likely it was a literal act of God)
@@alexandericeshade6302 makes you wonder what else they planned to need them for
Battlestars are weak ships if you compared them to other Sci-Fi, they would be quickly destroyed by Star Trek foton torpedos, Star Wars turbolaser towers or Halo MAC Cannons
@@HwangInhoBooNam Why are you comparing high tech, shield capable Star Trek/Star Wars ships to a low tech armor behemoth?
I would still say Galactica has a better FTL drive. Warp/hyperspace comes mowhere near Hyperlight Jumps.
"We'll be too close for nukes, same thing goes for missles... this will strictly be a gun battle, like two old ships on the line slugging it out at point blank range...
I want the gun captains to do their job and start firing immediately, and to continue to fire until they run out of ammo.... then, I want them to start throwing rocks...."

All fair in love and war heheh
Nelson couldn't have said it better himself.
Show is too amazing. Dialogue like this makes it even moreso
I still get giddy at the sight of humans going into battle side-by-side with Centurions. It's not a sight I would've ever expected for much of the series.
I am with Cally. Dang toasters took her baby.
I got giddy seeing old cylons fighting new cylons.
They were always intended to walk beside us.... Now they fight alongside us.
Shades of the "Return of Starbuck" episode from the old series, Starbuck and a Cylon Centurion co-operating at the end.
When the colony guns first go silent, the tips briefly glow red, as they should do given they've been firing continuously. Wonderful realism, and great that someone thought of it when they made the episode.
The Expanse is super good at space-realism, if you haven't already give it a shot!
OG Cylons showing the nu-cylon whippersnappers what it truly means to be HEAVY METAL
OG Cylons: absolute savage badasses, probably the #1 cause of PTSD among colonials from the first war
nuCylon: creepy and violent at first, but later on adorable and derpy
"We can't take much of this."
Proceeds to take a frak ton of it.
I want whoever's job it is to upload videos to this channel. Getting paid to watch BSG and cut videos seems like a pretty sweet deal.
Gotta admit that Galactica is quite the ship, all those hits, not just here but during the full series, and she still comes out swinging.
This is her without her armour plating too. It was stripped before retirement! Imagine her with it!
5:00 One day before the battle Apollo has short hair, the very next day he looks like Ace Rimmer building an appetite for some smoked kipper.
5:50 I love this moment. The battle is in almost melee range - it's so dense that a random fighter gets destroyed by a flak shell launched directly, rather than a flak screen
The batteries are not a flak screen, they are cannon fire aimed at the colony. The Raider literally flew into a cannon shell
@@SantomPh could be either. Flak is a similar shell, except it explodes when a set timer ends, spraying shrapnel in an area
@@PetersaberHD I dont think so, the rate of fire is low for a AA oriented weapon. They look more like main or secondary batteries for ship to ship
@@arctic3007 Or duel purpose, hell the Yamato’s main guns had AA shells at one point
@@electrohalo8798 And the American 8”/55 cruiser gun was a genuine rapid-fire dual-purpose gun.
I don't know which is more unbelievable, Galactica surviving that point blank assault or Apollo's hair.
Galacticas Stubborness plus Adamas massive Balls of Steel? Lets be real.... Galactica is at this point just to done with all the Cylon BS to die xD
"Tough little ship"
Worf: "Little" ?
Seriously this 3 parter was excellent. The scene when Roslin dies on the Raptor while Adama was talking to her choked me up. I fracking cried.
I cried at that part, but I sobbed when Adama put his wedding ring on her finger.
Adama lost the two loves of his life. :(
This series was so intense! Wish we got more of that...
@*Hérétic That's true but not quite the same. BSG was in a whole league of it's own.
They are doing another Battlestar, but it's not a reboot. They are being evasive.
@@slewone4905 I need a link
@ NBCUniversal is doing it for their streaming service.
@@Danny_Trent (SPOILERS) I've gotta disagree, BSG is almost like a family/office drama happening in space with genocidal and bloodthirsty robots hot on their tail, certainly an amazing story and all. But the expanse just just benefits from the scope of the whole solar system coming into play, its politics, its chains of supply and demand and how they shape civilisation in the face of the unknown. And its story is certainly not lacking. The way I see it BSG has more fleshed out characters while the Expanse has a more fleshed out universe. To me they lack a little of what the other has. BSG certainly had politics but its simply people fighting on a table and only Roslin is ever the good guy. I mean Tom zarek was badly used in my opinion. There was no aftermath to the loss of cloud 9. It was just US senate style politics. Expanse on the whole feels a lot more diverse and most certainly more real.
Colonial: I never thought I'd die fighting side by side with a Toaster.
Centurion: What about side by side with a friend?
Colonial: Aye, I could do that.
lol yes.
Centurion: never thought i'd be dying side by side with a meatbag."
Colonial marine: "what about side by side with a friend?"
Centurion: "by your command."
Cylons: PEW! PEW!
Galactica: I can do this all day.
also... FALCON PUNCH!
The true IRON LADY :)
The CGI and combat scenes for this show are insane for it's time period, Yea alot looks dated now, but also a lot still looks solid
'A lot looks dated now' I have to disagree on that one chief, the lighting is such that any dated textures are hidden by flashes of light and darkness, making any odd textures difficult to find even when in good lighting
@@weirdassenbychild7452 Nah, I mean, it looks great still, I'm not one to complain about "realistic looking HD textures" as long as it looks good, is fun and has loads of details, but the animations on mobile parts look really bad (fast firing guns especially) And it does look dated, especially the colony close up shots.
Just compare it to the last battle scenes from Expanse. It definitely looks dated.
Reminder - Dated /= bad
I loved the dynamic of Centurions and Colonials breaching the colony. I also loved the fact that some of the centurions were carrying a heavier rifle because they'd be combatting armoured targets.
At least in this bridge there are no rocks to fall off the ceiling.
I'm glad I got the DVDs for this for on christmas 10 years ago.
They have it on bluray. I got it several years ago.
For this for..... really.
Man, compared to the Colony, Galactica seems so tiny!
But she still kicked that behemoth's ass!
She's like an old WWII Battleship. She may not be the newest technology but she was made to walk into Hell and punch out the Devil in the face.
That is one bad ass ship, tough as hell.
WHY THE FUCK HUMAN DID NOT CREATED ENERGY SHIELDS
OR LAZERS GUNS
OR GIANT ROBOTS
@@truthoftheuniverse4179 if you want a realistic reason. 1. energy shields use a LOT of energy and at most magnetic shielding, plus they don't have fusion power. 2. in the original they had laser or at least laser-like weapons, but a kinetic weapon will aways do better damage compared to a laser that uses the same power. 3. giant robots are awesome but impractical with the squad cube law and the maintenance, a fighter which would have an engine, and guns vs a robot that has a lot more moving parts and is more likely to break down from fighting, plus you can't armor up a mech as you can a tank or a fighter. Hope this helps.
@@cosmichay74 it fucking wierd how lazy humans were..the cylons evol and the humans did not.
cmon they knew the cylon were out their and the humans did not evol their weapons.
CMON THE HUMANS COULD PILOT GIANT ROBOTS.
THIS SHOW WAS MISSING GIANT ROBOTS
@@truthoftheuniverse4179 Their backs are against the wall, tell me would you rather be an engineer fixing a jet, or a robot that has a LOT more moving parts, which means it will break more plus all of those resources could be used to build more fighters which would have better armored covered around it hull.
@@cosmichay74 THIS SHOW WOULD BEING EPIC WITH GAINT ROBOTS .
THE SMALL SHIPS LOOK WEEAK
One of the greatest television series ever made.
So say we all.
Indisputable.
Frakking awesome. Right up there with the Battle of the Ionian nebula as one of my favorite battle scenes from the show. Speaking of which, is there any chance we can get an upload of that one too? The only one that really captures it is of really low quality.
Give us a show about the first Cylon War. They were on the right track with young Adama. Just back it up a couple of years before that. BSG was the best show on TV at the time and is still great today. So say we all.
They tried, no one watched it. Can't remember what is was called. Some IMDB searching will get ya there though
@@TheH3dgie BSG Blood & Chrome and the reason no one watched it was because they decided to make it a webseries, on a at the time already dying website, (""Machinema" if the name rings any bells.) and with a budget to boot.
Animation was "lackluster" to say it politely and a lot of technical elements were drastically changed. Like Galacticas hangar deck being suddenly twice the size with rows of rows of "viper stack", the CIC being suddenly 4 times larger and the ship itself suddenly carrying 10 times the amount of guns she had in the Razor flashbacks (personally, I was oke with that change ^^).
@@LtCWest fair call. I didnt do much research on why it never went anywhere. I just heard it was never picked up.
Play Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock. It's frakking excellent!
@@LtCWest "Animation was "lackluster". - I just dont really understand, where this statement coming from. I just rewatched BSG and Blood and chrome... and man.... Blood and chrome is SUPERIOR in visuals to BSG in every level. And i mean... every level. In the series they dont even show you a proper space setting, just blank black space with some distant stars, while in BnC there are nebulas, stardust, beutiful space scenery, the ships and space debris are stunning , the fights scenes way more alive than in the series. So - by 2023 standard of course its not the best looking movie, but hey.... its way better looking than the series was.
This will be her last. (..) If we don't, it doesn't matter anyway. Action stations!
Would been cool to hear the allied centurians talk in classic bsg voices
I saw this before the prior episodes. So I thought Galactica was at full capacity. Imagine my surprise when i found out that they were going to abandon the ship due to structural failures and it still took all that damage.
It however accelerated the inevitable catastrophic structural failure as shown after they arrive in what we call our solar system.
Where She is seen buckling along with explosive decompression along her length axis as a result of not only the stress of the jump but the accumulated damage taken through out the run of the series.
She broken her back, she'll never jump again.

@@HrLBolle The ship would have been a floating debris cloud of metal by this point if the Final Five never arrived in the Cyrannus System. The First Cylon War would last much longer. Galactica would have used it's Jump Drive ALOT more and would have been scrapped or destroyed within 25 years. But in canon the Galactica was a reserve ship for 20 to 22 years before the Fall.
@@richardched6085 first she was decommissioned to be turned into a museum then came the fall.

I love it when the bag pipes play when the raiders launch, god what an awesome show.
Ya know, the basestars could have used some of those guns too.....
Not sure about how canon Deadlock is, but the old Cerberus, Argos, and Cratus class basestars all at least carried a few guns for self defense.
@@zchen27 Actualy the Argos is more in line with the modern cylon basetars. You're probably thinking of the drones they carry.
When 95% of your systems were broken and offline for years anyways, you pretty much don't need to GAF about the damage reports
Thank God she went " weapons hot."
It matters latter on, she survives long enough to fire her payload and saves everyone destroying the colony.
@@nicholaspowell7029 If I remember, she was already dead and her cold hand fell on the trigger switch (act of God or luck) when the ship lurched from another meteorite hit.
@@TotinosPizzaRollz I have watched it a few times and I think you could call it either way, I think she was dying and used her last strength to hit the launch button, either way if they hadn't armed the warheads neither would have been possible.
I believe you mean "Thank the Gods." So say we all!
The opening moments after the Galactica jumps in, and the quick response of the defensive guns. . .always epic!
The colony looks like a Shadow Ship from Babylon 5 too, The older Cylon models were more heavily armored than the new ones. They sacrifice mobility for more defensive capabilities.
Na, its design resembles Elements of HR Giger Design of the Derelict Engineers Ship on LV426
“How many guns you want to use?”
“YES!”
Finally!
I don't know how many times I rewind this sequence.
from the beginning of the series, never thought I'd see Human and Cylon working and fighting side-by-side.
Wow. Frak me. I have to buy the damn series, even after watching it in real time when it was on.
This has to be the most epic end battle ever!
It is the most epic in the series but my favorite was the rescue on New Caprica.
Colonials fighting alongside the updated Cylons?! OMG....I’ve missed so much!
I recieved the entire boxed set for Christmas.
When it was on Netflix I watched it 5 times. But it didnt come back.
"The Adama Maneuver" and "number 6", in her red dress is worth it.... eh compared to her the Adama maneuver was ok..

Can I just Thank You all again for re-airing this on SYFY? My Cox package for basic cable, (no mtv, etc.) is $73.08 a month. My new neighbors decided to start a meth lab(?) and my tv-when on-is the only thing that drowns out the noise of their constant pacing. Thanks again!!✌
It was "time Sam" as soon as they Frakin' jumped in!!! Not 10,000 Cylon bombs later.
The only thing that irked me about this scene is that they wasted a perfect opportunity to have the Centurions talk.
They are all lobotomized
The Rebel One aren't but I think that the new centurions can't speak
@@FedoReds88 Yes they are unable to speak
I know, right? The nostalgia hit of at least ONE "By your command." would have been like the icing on an icing cake.
Probably didn't help those structural problems that doomed the ship any...
6:33 That's one hell of a way to lead a stack. M60 first.
This whole mission was more insane than anything Starbuck could come up with.
Insanity, but it heat the Cylons from being able to reproduce, allowing the humans to survive without the cylons hunting them.
I get the impression that Galactica was much better armoured than Pegasus even with much of the plating removed for the decomissioning.
Here Galactica survives ramming the Colony at flank speed while Pegasus exploded after ramming a Cylon Baseship at New Caprica.
I like the zoom ins and out from the camera it makes it feel like your in a space battle. Lots of shows make everything feel to clean. This show kept it feeling real.

I personally found BSG depressing to watch and didn't enjoy that much. But you can't deny that the show was well made. Excellent acting, great music, and action sequences that are only surpassed by Babylon 5 and The Expanse.

The Colony looked like a Shadow vessel from Babylon 5 in robotic form.
@@patrickstivers7387 Nah, i dont think so - directly compared, it has more with a HR Giger Design of the Derelict Engineer ship, than any Shadow Battlecrab.
2:51 Daedalus Attack!!!
Its missing the missiles though ^^
Edited from Predator.
Pegasus: Galactica, you're hit. You're bleeding man.
Galactica: I ain't got time to bleed.
So why was the Galactica just sitting there taking a pasting when they could have plugged in Anders and rammed the Colony much sooner?
Worst brace for impact ever. Literally was standing next to a table on wheels.
Galactica must have been a sturdy and well built ship to have sustained so much fire from enemy vessels countless times
And to still have her FTL drive online after that considering she lost it due to the baseship bombardment over New Caprica and it took Pegasus' sacrifice for her to get it back online.
When the mercury class Battlestar being constructed, a part of its FTL drive system was exposed which left it vulnerable to being disabled. When deployed in combat.
Whereas the Jupiter class had it built within the inside of the ship which had multiple layers of heavy armour to absorb the hits of incoming weapons. Which I will include hits involving nukes
Well they explained during that episode that Galactica jumped so close to Cylon home colony, that they were unable to use heavy weaponry without damaging the colony it self. Cylons were practically using anti-fighter weaponry against Galactica.
She actually wasn't, it was mentioned in the show that the designers cut corners to get the ship into service. These flaws were likely a contribution to why her back broke at the end of the show.
Why take off your helmets when you detect atmosphere? Helmets protect your head and atmosphere could be lost faster then you could put it back on. Not worth the extra peripheral vision.
Restricted vision and limited air supply.

Doing a Saturday Home Depot run with his wife?
Wow. I don't remember this scene at all! Clearly it's time to rewatch the show.
Let it be known and remembered that the hull is made of bio-organic synthesize metal which came from the first Cylon war, who knows how many humans were used to make one basestar
/gamemode creative Galactica
You know, technically they wouldn't have removed their helmets for the raid. They just did it for TV purposes, hard to identify the actors with the helmets on. :P
Thats why I always advocate for more personalisation in armor desgins. Give the characters gear distinctive looks. A side bag here, a flashlight there and some color stripes to top it off.
In SW Clone Wars you always knew who Captain Rex was due to his unique armor coloring. ^^
@@LtCWest it's not about not being able to identify the characters it's about denying the actors face time to make themselves visible in their roles and make their acting visible for those that take it seriously.
Very rarely does a human actor keep his face covered for a long period of time and usually it's an agreed upon thing going in (judge dredd and the mandolorian are examples). Yknow how sometimes you say "wow I never knew X actor was that character!"? Like "I never knew the mandolorian was the guy from narcos, pedro pascal" well having that happen is like worst case scenario for many actors trying to make it in the business where you need your face on camera for your reel
This is also why iron man loves to take his helmet off even though leaving it on for long periods of time is the better option. Even big name actors want facetime and that stuff is negotiated as part of their contract. It's how an actor becomes synonymous with their character. No one is iron man except RDJ whereas anyone with the right jaw can be judge dredd other than karl urban even though both guys put the best portrayals of said characters on the screen
Rex was able to do that because he wasnt being acted by a human
@@TheBacknblack92 I see your point and I kinda went off the deep end there with Rex, If I think about it, even Cody from Episode 3 would have been a bad example, as he takes off his helmet in the middle of a combat zone...
My issue is that just find it an annoying break from reality to see people running around in combat without helmets (excluding spec ops units who regularly go into combat with bandanas and ballcaps but they have their reasons).
That being said, one thing Id disagree with on the topic of face time in the case of Galatica is that we already know who the actors in this show are, we've seen them plenty of time off duty or just wearing their sealed but fully see through pilot helmets in combat. So why did they ditch them when boarding the colony? Just makes no sense to me.
The Expanse really nailed that part, with the main characters all wearing their helmets. Special mention goes to Bobby Drapers squad of Force Recon Marines, who used their glass helmets to talk to each other (by pressing their helmets against each other) when their radios got jammed. ^^
If comfort is the issue (I understand that wearing a bucket all day and doing hundreads of reshoots can be exhausting) I thing CGI could have us covered there.
Ive seen an anime some time ago, where pilots would seemingly fly their planes without helmets on, except the did. The helmets were effectively VR gear and the glass canopy was just a projection, in truth the cockpits were completely armor covered. We saw them the way they saw the world around them.
We could use this in a live action show too. Have our protagonists don helmets, then they press a few buttons, suddenly the helmets "disappear" and we see their faces but they all have a subtile but unnatural sheen to them, like a projection. ^^
What are your thoughts on this idea?
I guess you could argue it’s hard to see and breathe in those things, but yeah.. television rules apply!
Helmet disadvanges - blindspot
Season 4 was generally a muddled mess, but the Daybreak Trilogy was a tour de force as a finale.
Every time I see that ramming scene I go KNOCK KNOCK FUCKERS!!!
So this is what happens when I ram a ship in Deadlock
All that battering and major fire, and the old girl still held like a champ. Even after everything that happened until then. Talk about a beast of a ship.
Kind of makes you wonder how the Cylons thought they could take on the Colonial fleet. One Battlestar withstood withering fire like that, imagine a whole armada of them.
@@hunterkiller232134 Its why they hacked them to disable them... they did it the easier way.
During the last 10 seconds I saw something new. An Easter Egg getting shot 😂
So this was where the Hammerhead Corvette move got its idea
It would have been interesting if the rebels gain some Battlestar in their side
So in the end, Racetrack saved everyone by destroying the colony in a freak nuclear launch.
dead, accidentally, by the act of the gods, because the "gods" so intended that an accidental asteroid crashed into a damaged raptor where the ship's deck was dead. and that just a dead body, race track, because of the asteroid crash, it slipped down with all the hand, and the flick of the hand, about, button, launch, missiles, nuclear
I've said this in another BSG video clip, but I think Ronald Moore, who is an amazing writer, owes some inspiration to the 80's cartoon Robotech for some of his devices. Of course he did it in a much more realistic level, but it's kinda there.
Best! lat hurrah ever in Sci-Fi. ....love love it
Around 5:05 point -- Bad CGI on right. The barrel of weapon of human behind the Cylon keeps poking through the overlain Cylon figure.
There's a gap in the cylon leg armor.
@@MrPeanut624 I thought about that. Still looks like the barrel laps over the leg.
But maybe.
Nah, I watched it quite a few times, it's a weird perspective but it's just the gaps in the cylon hip
Played it at .25x definitely not sloppy CG the barrel was just lined up within the gap as others have said.
@@squeezybob84 My old eyes, then.
Shame they wasted Pegasus all those years ago rather them jumping turn both out... 🙄🙄🙄🙅♂️
Pegasus isn't as robust as Galactica is.
3:16 the echoed yell almost sound like they yelled "F*ck ouch!"
The 71* that disliked this were Brother Cavils.
89* (14 Oct. 2021 Edit).
Even after so many fights the cylons never learned... you don't underestimate Bill Adama or the Battlestar Galactica.
Tbf the rebel Chloe’s went the complete opposite even willing to allow adama to command the Baseship. They saw first hand time after time adama and galactica win despite the odds
Galactica takes this but Pegasus can't kill 4 basestars c'mon
I always wondered where the old style Centurions came from. Were they always there, on the Colony? Surely those models would have upgraded to newer bodies by then. Or did Cavil pull the old bodies out of storage, upload some "lobotomised" versions of the program, and send them to plug up gaps left by the other Cylons' defection or combat losses, like Galactica did its Vipers?
I suspected the old centurions were kept on the colony to be segregated from the human cylons. I suspect they’re aren’t lobotomized since they’re from the first Cylon War and that model was taught resurrection from the final 5. Perhaps the reason Cavil sent them out was because the Colony is the closest thing the Cylons have to a home world and he needed all hands on deck to defend the station.
I think it was said that the older models were boxed in favor of the new so when most of those defectet when their higher thoughtfunctions were activated cavil probably didnt have enough to man the entire colony and had to unbox the old ones. My thinking at least.
Last moment when the two models of Cylons appear
New and classic .
I also didn't recognize this episode at first .
It's been so Fracking long .
