For all the debates on what should or should not have been done, what amazes me more than anything else?
That this fleet, launched into deep space without preparations of any kind, managed to put together paper ballots.
There’s an agricultural/botanical ship in the fleet. It grows a lot of the fleet’s food so it likely provides the materials for all the paper products.
@@bsgfan1 There is another clip where Adama and Teigh are laughing about people no longer eating paper because there is a paper shortage.
Also, what kind of industrial capacity can this fleet really have especially without a source for raw materials?
Lets forget that 50k mouths to feed is a huge amount, even at say 1500 calories a day, that's 75 million calories a day or, to keep it simple, almost 1.1 million slices of wheat bread a day.
The writers didn't take logistics into consideration in way, so I guess magically coming up with paper ballots isn't that much of a stretch.
@@tomb7942 A lot of the larger ships are stated to have recycling rigs that produce horrible nutrient bars which most of the fleet eats
After the whole algae planet sub-pot a huge portion of the fleet eats what is essentially protein goo with recycled nutrients in it
Plus they had many ships capable of growing stuff including the huge Cloud 9 until it got nuked
@@thomasprice7893 I mean you do what you have to do, but that has to take a toll on moral.
Why would the Colonial Fleet even have that system in place? No modern navy would even consider it.
The 12 Colonies should have been able to provide more than enough foodstuffs to feed the fleet.
Sounds like plot armor to me.
@@tomb7942 i think you forgot about the existence of other, more caloric foods.
I was unaware that UA-cam took an election in Battlestar Galactica so seriously
You should see Twitter. Every one of Baltar's tweets gets flagged.
@Artemisia Vulgaris OMFG this comment is pure GOLD !!
@Artemisia Vulgaris Bowltahr!
@Artemisia Vulgaris You win.
Literally everything.
Including life.
What's really amazing is that this was made in 2004, 16 years before the contested election of 2020
6:00 "he's working for cylons.." - A similar phrase will play with completely different colors at the end of the series.) I feel sorry for Lieut. Gaeta and Dualla more than the others, I almost cried.
Felix made a bad choice ...But it is REALLY hard to blame him .
I was a radio operator in the Marines. I used the handsets that are used throughout this series. I liked that quite a bit!
They're definitely authentic.
If Baltar haven’t became president of the colonies, new Caprica would have never been settle and the Pegasus still intact.
True but it's also his fault for giving that 6 a nuke and cylon tracing that explosion.
Also, I love how there’s a UA-cam fact check on this video
That is interesting.
If that doesn't tell you how broken UA-cam systems are I don't know what will. :p
Yeah that cracked me up, I'm surprised there aren't all kind of comments saying how this proves trump actually won lol
Stop noticing things
@@drgonzo305 Not gonna lie, I would not be surprised if Trump supporters used this video of a fictional tv show to argue about the election results 🤦♂️
I'm looking for that clip where Tom Zarek, right before both of them were set to be executed, asks Roslin if she tried to steal the election. I think it would be a fitting coda to this clip.
It’s a nice moment between them that deepens the working relationship between the two, particularly how at the end of that conversation when the execution squad moves in, Zarek tries to push Roslin behind him. Despite how his story ended I appreciated how nuanced his character could be like that
How timely... 😁😆😂🤣
"It has been my observation that one of the prices of giving people freedom of choice... is that sometimes, they make the wrong choice." -Odo.
Democracy ladies and gents. You take the good with the bad, or not at all.
What a stupid comment " you take the good with the bad" if the whole thing is based on a lie or deception ( Baltar) then its not really democracy but Tyranny masked as democracy.
This is fiction. 99 times out of 100, people make the right choice, but it robbed from them by their so-called representatives. Democracy is a sham. For anything of importance people never get their way - they aren't even asked.
Democracy is the rule of fools, the oppression of the minority by the majority. It's not a good system.
exactly same with Trump lol
That's not how this works. At all. Democracy doesn't work with the "I cast a ballot, choose a president and then let him or her do stuff until the time to cast another ballot arrives". There are several organs, tribunals, chambers, and a very, very elaborate chain of burcracy that should work as representation that we, the regular folks, should be allowed to use, and if that doesn't work, we can make campaigns, protests, etc.
Democracy is the rule of the people. The people have a lot of ways to express their opinion in a democratic way. A protest, as much as it shocks most of you, is one. As long as it doesn't become a violent revolt or a coup, that's the hearth of democracy as much as the parliament, the elections and all of that. We do have a lot of power as regular folks in a democracy, and many doesn't know them because they doesn't want to know them. They just cast a ballot, and then complain about things gonne wrong because "democracy doesn't work". It's like complaining about a car not working without knowing that it needs fuel.
You don't like how things work? Take the streets. Gather signatures, do a campaign, make yourself notice. But don't complain about how "democracy is dying" from your sofa while listening to some no brain idiot of FOX TV or whatever. One guy with a frakin UA-cam channel can have a lot of power. A simple campaing or a protest can ignite a very significative change. That's how democracy works.
Lt Gaeta always had integrity.
A shame what happened to him in the end.
Until he didn’t…
@@mkv2718 He staged a mutiny because he was convinced that Adama was a traitor who was about to ally with the race that had been trying to kill humanity. Gaeta has integrity but not always nuance.
@@hagamapama are you including the people he fed to 'sweet 8' on New Caprica because he wanted his own Sharon?
Whoever runs this account has a twisted sense of humor.
Too soon, man.... too soon
Those outerspace mail in ballots, gotta watch em’ 🤣
I think the algorithm just looked for the keywords. And lets be honest, this is kind of hitting home isn't it?
Shoulda followed through. Woulda saved 5000 lives and a Battlestar.
Lol, exactly!! Plus it would have spared Galactica all the damage from the Adama Maneuver (as badass as it was) and the ensuing pounding she took!
Then, as you say, it would have also spared at least another 5k lives PLUS Pegasus .... I mean Baltar was such a self-serving snake for much of the series (his redemption came later, though he was still solely responsible for a holocaust of 60billion lives), I'm amazed anyone could have voted for him, but heck look at US now!
Most they should have done was limited shore leave on New Caprica for a little while, take on fresh supplies, and then move on.
They would have been on a MUCH MORE solid footing with Pegasus and a less-damaged Galactica going forward.
Easy to say, with future knowledge.
That is speaking from hindsight
And I dont have to point out the numerous times in our history where people rigged elections or ended democracies because they believed "I know it better then everyone else"
A core part of democracy is that it is the peoples decision, including all the bad ones. There is no compromissing on that, ever.
@@Jayce1701 It's entirely possible that the Cylons could have achieved the same thing, just with somewhat greater losses, without Baltar's compromising of the network.
@@williambrennan104 it's certainly possible, and I don't want to scapegoat Baltar either, but if someone had done the same today he would most certainly be put on trial for war crimes and genocide, then most likely executed.
The Nuremberg Trials certainly had no problem holding the guilty accountable and putting bodies in the ground.
To the point about the Cylons infiltrating without his assistance, it is possible since they are a race of computers, but they still found it more expedient to cheat and get Baltar to help than to plug and chug and crack it themselves -- seems humanity was actually pretty good at out-computing the computers, afterall! ;)
Though the simplest, and more fire-hard way to eliminate that threat is to just unplug the network, as Adama did-- doesn't cost much and it's garunteed to work!
Heck, we might want to take that lesson to heart with this "internet of things"!
I just finished this show.. I can't get enough.
Did you watch Razor and The Plan both are part of the series
The timing of this video!
Wow, fact checked. I wonder if the potatoes that run UA-cam are proud of their potato algorithm? Lol
One week away for UK election watching this 😆
Where would they get mountains of paper on a space ship?
pulping old paper
Does art imitate life? Or does life imitate art?
Good question.
All this has happened before...
All of this has happened before and will happen again
Most times it's neither. Art, just like in this scene, has no relation to life whatsoever.
IT'S STEADY STATE
This has happened before, it just happened again...
LOL, UA-cam has fact checked this video!!
Galactica stayed off the grid for a reason.
BSG was huge dafuk u on about? Lol
Didn't know the colonies had an electoral college.
Dominion has entered the chat
Wait why did my mind know to search for battle star Galactica but this was uploaded 50 minutes ago during a contested election wtffff is going on. We do not have consensus
There is no President of the Twelve Colonies. The Colonies are gone!
I can't decide who you're trolling by posting this tbh.
I think it troll both sides. lol
What a coincidence.
US election 2020.... 🤣
President Trump is colluding with the cylons
Well this is some timing. Lol p
Colonial dominion software
Who's here in 2020?
Kind of like 2020 !
And he we are
paper ballots in space? c'mon guys
Where does the paper come from?
Same place all the booze comes from.
Trump must’ve saw this episode.
Hellloooooo. Long live skynet. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So bsg version of donald and hillary
the commissars running youtube need to check their algorithms.
According to youtube apparently Joe Biden won the election and became president of the colonies! LMFAO!
Cylon Joe cheated!
@@Ubu987 there is ONLY one Joe Biden. :P
Can we send him over there?
And now milk is 20 cubits a gallon and don't even ask about tillium
I love how when the good guys get confronted over cheating they actually own up, Unlike real life. Maybe the real life people that cheated aren't the good guys and they don't have a soul?
@NihlusGreen Better than 49 years of lying Biden.
@@rv2167 Well according to Kamala diring the DNC primaries Biden is a racist and a sexual abuser so....
@@KillerofGods and yet she jumped right into bed with him at the opportunity to be the VP. We've been scraping the slime from the bottom of the barrel the last 4 years there's nothing left but rotted wood. Time for a new barrel.
@@jeffburnham6611 this aged poorly.
@@warthunder9155How so, Orange Julius Ceasar?
“I’ve seen a lot of elections and you can tell when it’s a fixed one because it doesn’t make sense, and this one doesn’t make sense” Even in the nuclear apocalypse, The fleet has more transparent elections than a certain country.
according to visions verified by anonymous sources in the intelligence community, Baltar paid two Cylon hookers to pee on a Caprican hotel bed that Adama once slept in
Yeah, you knew that one dunderhead would get there eventually. Tell you what, Sport: why don’t you go ahead and ask Ron Moore if he thinks the election was stolen from Trump?
No
"Wow so relevant today!"
No, in Battlestar they undid it at the last second for the sake of morality.
An extremely timely video...funny how life imitates art.
Official sources have dismissed this comment, most secure election in history!
It really doesn't. People who steal elections, or better yet, just deny people their say entirely, always pat themselves on the back as the people's moral betters. They never have a crisis of conscience and bend to the will of the people. If ever the powerful make one concession to the people, it's because they're forced to.
Not for nothing, but look up the Battle of Athens, Tennessee.
Also actually predicting what happened in Georgia
I would have done a recall election. Gaeta needed to keep his mouth shut instead of kissing his boyfriend’s(Baltar’s) butt.
She's the definition of a certain party voter. Art imitates life. 😮
Given the current political climate in the United States I get the implications of what I’m about to say. This has nothing to do with Biden or Trump… and please don’t bring it into the comments. I would have rigged the election for Laura. 😂. Baltar should never have been president
When all of the comments are either making jokes about the video's timing, or spreading propaganda because they're still salty about the election...
Art imitates life.
Didn't some of the Biden ballets have mispellings?
Doesn't trump stay in power here? Cuz cylons?
Trump is a cylon. A zero model.
@@CEOkiller That means Biden is a hybrid? That would explain why can’t speak in coherent sentences.
I am enjoying the angry trump supporters in the comments section. Lol
Still laughing?
@Douglas Pantera Yes
Yes it is true election fraud 2020
Thanks for the inflation. What a joke.
@@felicixYou mean, the rate of inflation that’s lower than all but a handful of industrial nations? The inflation that was mostly the result of supply chain disruptions brought on by a global pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine? You’re welcome.
So that’s how it went down.
We're
