I think the greatest twist was discovering that Battlestar Galactica happened 150000 years ago.......
Yeah, BSG should have the Star Wars tag line "A long time ago..."
This has all happened before....
Thought the ending was a bit crap and lacked any real thought, like it was a quick “oh why don’t we”
@@moonbaby6134 When you invoke the supernatural, you can write any ending you want.
@@Hunpecked so what. It was still crap.
one funny scene i like is when a Six and Baltar are defending an entry point, they end up seeing their ghostly counterparts....."I do?", "you can see them?"
That is hillarious and actually from the first season so I give them credit for planing ahhead
Dee's ending was fucking heartbreaking.
yeah, that one was brutal.
I went numb when I first saw it. I sat in shock for minutes not comprehending what I saw
On a Reddit forum I read that if this scene wasn't scifi - it was the best docudrama ever produced. That is deep in my opinion and I couldn't agree more.
She was annoying, I would have spaced her
Yes it was. See, I hate when attractive women die in movies, tv shows, etc. I just do. So seeing the adorable Dee paint the walls in her brain matter was...unsettling to say the least.
The Galactica's last FTL jump in the series finale was one of the saddest moments, especially when Colonel Tigh says "She's broke her back. She'll never jump again." When you think of all of the hits she took throughout the series, including nukes, the Galactica breaking her back hits you pretty hard.
Man, how lucky were they that Galactica lasted just long enough to take her final jump? 😳
Never underestimate the bucket. She's taken more nuke hits than Earth's atmosphere.
sad? nah, that ship cracking and buckling was awesome 😂
It finally felt like it deserved its nickname 'The Bucket'
Makes you wish they would have kept the Pegasus instead.
Its why you CLOSE THE PODS before jumping; structural integrity is a bitch.
Also, pour one out for the poor Viper pilot that got bucked out of the flight pod when the back broke...
BG was such a masterpiece. Dee's suicide was the one that really caught me by surprise.
It saved my friend's life- we were watching it, and it was HER last good day... Kinda figured it out and, Lords, that was a long night.
BSG left a hole in me that still hurts when the wind blows.
know this too well
New title for you: "10 scenes that made BSG one of the great masterpieces of television scifi - ever."
So say we all.
SO SAY WE ALL!
Let us be honest, The Adama manoeuvre is one of the greatest tv moments.
The absolute BEST sci fi series of my adult life. I still watch it.
Yes this is that good, but do yourself a favour and watch Babylon 5. Season 1 is slow going, but it is so worth it. As sci-fi goes, B5 is the pinnnacle.
Billy and Dee were both sad losses as characters, enjoyed both of them (and Billy assuming Rosalin’s role staying in the Fleet during New Caprica arc would have made an interesting side story in Lee and Bill’s struggle over a rescue). But as someone who loves this series, Ellen returning as the last Cylon model was a surprise after Saul executed her for treason.
Their future was our past. Someone else mentioned it, and it's the most mind blowing twist of all.
For many people it was obvious when you knew the original series.
I liked the end to makes sense and it,s also warning to i mean holly shit : )
Admiral Caine being a calculating, heartless fiend was a twist.
Helena Cain (Michelle Forbes) - such a great character! Her anger, hatred, and coldness was a perfect embodiment of what the Cylons felt the human race embodied. She did what she had to do to ensure the survival of the Pegasus and at the same time acted in a manner the Cylons believed was a character trait of all humans - the inability to truly forgive - an example of why the human race would never meet with Cylons on equal terms and work toward peace.
Adama Maneuver: “Prepare for turbulence.”
The First Earth revelation was actually 2 twists in one.
You forgot to mention that while there, Starbuck and Leoban come across the remains of a destroyed viper with the long decayed remains of a pilot wearing Starbucks dog-tags.
What was a travesty was that even though they were allowed to wrap up the series because it was being cancelled (I believe it was meant to be 5-6 seasons rather than 4), they didn’t explain the significance of Starbuck and how she was alive despite her blatant death.
She just disappeared while Lee was talking about what he was going to do now they’d found “our” prehistoric Earth as if she was a ghost.
She was a tool of the God(s), returned to complete her mission. Mission done, yoink!
(Or she's Batman- seriously, Lee turns around, and she disappeared, she was the best at everything, died but got better- that's totally Batman.)
I think that whole "angel" angle was in a way sort of a -ripoff- tribute to the last few storylines of the old _Battlestar:GALATICA_ series, in particular the "Experiment in Terra". The "angels" in the new show were those "Beings of Light" from the old.
@@STSWB5SG1FAN Yes, how dare Battlestar Galactica "rip off" *checks notes* Battlestar Galactica.
Ron Moore decided to end the series with Season 4 because I think he was scared that the network was going to can it before they could finish the story. He made it clear that Season 3 ended with the beginning of the final act, anyway.
Battlestar Galactica is hands down my favorite television show and one of my favorite works of fiction. One amazing touch was the technological choices: nothing was more fantastical than it needed to be. Sentient robots? FTL drives? Okay, fine. But you're getting bullets and missiles. You're getting "two in the chest" and its bloody aftermath. You're getting "Radiological Alarm! Brace for contact!" instead of lasers.
The Dee one hit me hard. My cousin killed himself out of the blue one day. Still don't know exactly why because he seemed to have everything going for him and didn't show any signs of depression. The note he left was also extremely vague. As someone who had and still has depression even it shocked and surprised me. None of us had any idea and then one day he was gone. No real explanation, no sense to it, just here one day and gone the next.
5:00 I heard an interview with the science advisor for the show. When he was asked about this scene he said, no, something like that simply would never work, no matter what.
But he said they should do it anyway. There was a detail that they added on the advice of the advisor, and that was the blast of air that strikes the colony just after the Galactica jumped away.
He pointed out that such a mass falling through the atmosphere would pull a mass of air behind it. That mass of air would continue falling to strike the ground with quite a lot of force.
This same thing happened to the Titanic stern. The bow of the ship sank almost vertically, but the stern sank flat. When it came to a stop on the sea floor the column of water pulled down behind it struck the ship with enough force to utterly smash it.
This scene is still one of the coolest ever seen on TV.
Thats wrong, the stern of the titanic wasnt smashed by a column of water. The reason the stern is in much worse contidion is that the stern wasnt fully flooded like the bow, so it imploded on the way down when the water pressure rised, also unlike the bow, the stern spiraled down what put a lot more stress to the stucture and ripped parts off and because of the spiraling down, the stern hit the ground much later than the bow.
Did your column of water took a coffee brake on the way down, to wait for the stern?
Debateable; after all, when the Galactica jumps, it creates a vacuum, which would seemingly absorb some of the pressure wake. Likewise, we see a decent air pressure wave hit the ground, whereas the Galactica jump vacuum should've been pulling the dust and such upwards.
@@wolf310iiThe stern was flooded. When the stern of the Titanic sank, the boilers fell out and ripped open the entire stern. It flooded very quickly. The bow section acted like a falling leaf and actually planed to the bottom, striking at a 30 to 60 degree angle. Over a descent of two miles the hull moved a mile away from the stern. That equates to an overall 60 degree descent. But that doesn’t tell the whole story, because Titanic was leafing, sometimes at more than 60 degrees, sometimes less. From the way the wreck is positioned, she was at the top of the angle when she hit, closer to 45 degrees than 60. Water resistance also slowed her fall. She dug a massive trench in the seabed before coming to a halt. Water resistance would have slowed the stern as well but it would have brought the water down with it.
@@richardbeckenbaugh1805 Wrong, the stern section didnt even had boilers that could fell out. The Boiler fell out when the Titanic broke in half, through boiler room 1.
And no, the stern was not fully flooded when it sank, thats not buoyancy works
One of the greatest shows of all time. Fight me!
Out the airlock with yee
So say we all.
Is Firefly a joke to you???
I'll fight ya, but not because you're wrong, but it's good for morale.
More Battlestar content, please!
Love love love that show
I'm a simple person, I see something about Battlestar Galactica, I watch it.
So say we all!
Whad'ya hear, Starbuck?
@@Spthomas47 The Cat. Yeah, its raining, but the cat is screaming bloody murder because its outside in the rain...
HOW DO YOU NOT INCLUDE THE FINAL SCENE OF THE SHOW IN THIS LIST?! It still haunts me to this day as the audience finds out this entire series is 150,000 years in the past... and the entire point of the show is to warn us of AI because "all of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again"
and the final scene
gods plan?
you know she does not like it when you call her that.
me thinking starbuck is god?
Dee's twist was a heartbreaker - but it was telegraphed. Remember when she was crying in the Raptor, coming up from the surface of Earth, and they told her to take it easy? That wasn't calm that came over her. That was a look of cold, terminal despair. Actress Kandyse McClure and the showrunners nailed it - you knew she'd fallen through the floor.
So say we all!
So say we all
I fracking love BSG.
Adding to the list:
Starbuck finds her own body on the Earth
Starbuck learns and then plays the Melody - one which has New Earth coordinates encoded
All that Epic had happened 150000 years ago in our timeline
Season 1 was groundbreaking.
Season 4 was weird.
Almost every episode played with my emotions 😭
Best TV show ever.
This show still gives chills epic epic show
What about Starbuck being an angel?
Ronald D. Moore is a visionary genius. If you want to watch another show of his, it's also brilliant if I may add, watch For All Mankind.
To many brilliant parts to Moor's Galactica!
Even re watching it Dee still shocks me!
The best damn series on television!
If you've bever watched this series, I urge you to do it.
Not just the gold standard of reboots, one of the all-time best.
I’ll add Lee adama was played by a British actor ;-)
This series is my all time favorite. Wish it was on Netflix again.
TUBI
I can relate to #2 everyday...
Such an awesome show!
Any discussion of BSG's traumatic twists that ignores the context of the war in Iraq, waterboarding, Islamophobia and Abu Ghraib, kind of misses the point. The whole show was an examination of how we treat our friends and enemies, and how we deal with having done bad things.
i only seen it recetly but i guess in 2004 it would come aross like that but muslims arnt evil robots nuking humanity into exticntion, i think the only war on terror stuff was distrust of cylons and the abuse of that six on Pegases
Seriously I watched one of battlestar galatica video now I’m getting all these related videos
When Dee smiled and pulled the gun out and killed herself.. I scream WTF..I never saw that coming...
I liked the series portrayal of how dangerous creating AI is. Be careful what you wish for.
Twist Numbers 1-10: The Writers themselves had absolutely no idea how to continue the show past season 2, so they just started making shit up and then abandoning the plot whenever they felt like it. Fantastic show, fantastic cast, but what a great example of what happens when writers get stuck into multiple corners.
Best Sci-fi show ever. No question.
05:53 "Truggled"
actually rewatching this series for like the as we speak . . . . 4th time? lol
My mate isn't a huge Sci fi fan, and the original is not something he'd ever watch... but even he loved the remake. I'll need to break the dvds out again soon.
Still the greatest show ever
I almost forgot how good yet traumatizing BSG was.
So say we all, frak yeah
Starbuck:- 1) Dieing. 2) Coming back and 3) Leaving again. Didn't see any of them happening before they did.
Ramayana and Mahabharata,,no words...
Starbuck at the end was a Angel (Messenger) ;)
The revelations about Pegasus and Admiral Cain's actions should be on that list. Bitch got off easy.
Frakking Toasters
Especially the Sixes...
Wasn't the callie actress in a cult
The thing I didn't see coming was "God did it". One of the last satisfying endings to a show ever. The last season got kinda stupid.
Galactica 1980 had human cylon models.
The suicide of Dee was the most shocking of any thing in the series. This scene shook my entire household. We had to pause the video to understand what we had just scene. This scene was BRUTAL.
I think the greatest twist were friends we didn't got along the way.
With AI , this is only 20 years away. Except we don't have space ships
2:45 I never understood why the other Boomer copies were naked.
The biggest jaw dropping moment for me was the end of the series.
So was Starbuck was an Angel?
I think the Twists happened because the writers were pulling things out of their acc.
Starbuck coming back from the dead 💀 in a new Viper for me was the number 1 scene for me. I was shocked the show killed her and once I was at peace…she is flying next to Apollo like nothing happened…😳🫢🤯😀
The moment when Starbuck types in the co-ords to Earth, with the music playing, to the style of a piano, at the end of the battle of the Colony.
The return of Ellen Tigh and how different her character was.
Regarding Dee's death...this was immediately after they found the 13th Tribe's Earth, the whole goal of their odyssey, was a wasteland destroyed two thousand years earlier through a robotic uprising. The shock, the crushed hopes, and the absolute letdown had to lead to someone doing something drastic, and Dee was the one chosen. I can understand her thinking; for several years hope hinged on finding Earth. And when it was found, they couldn't settle there...everything must have felt like it was for naught. Of all the deaths, hers and Callie's were the hardest to handle.
I think that in a way Dee was the most optimistic of them all that they would find Earth. She was optimistic, deeply spiritual, and desperately needed something to hold onto after her civilization faced an apocalypse. She was rock solid until she wasn’t and that’s the moment when everything really started to break down.
We see Dee with Helo on the raptor coming up from Earth, and in the middle of that scene, she is holding the jacks in her hand and she just stops crying - which for me was the moment that I knew she was going to end it. It's brilliantly subtle, unless you've dealt with people fighting depression and suicidal idealation.
i read somewhere that she was from the colony that was very spiritual..that believed in the prophecy..and getting to know that the prophecy that was the background of your whole life was false..broke her...
Im late to this party but want to know something hilariously terrible? When the episode with Dee's death aired on television, after the shot, it immediately cuts to commercials and the FIRST commercial is exploding tomato soup cans. (idk if the commercials were universal or localized but it was an emotional rollercoaster)
I never managed to latch onto any character throughout the whole show so I never really missed anyone when they died.
Tho that scene was still shocking.
Dee's death was the hardest hitting for me. Absolute WTF moment and Gaeta's reaction set up his fall. Gut wrenching.
So say we all.
wtf moment was wtf
If you didn't yelp a little yelp of joy at the Galactica FTL jumping into the atmosphere, you're a fracking toaster.
It's a beautiful sight
@@Whykickamoocow And later realizing they miscalculated the second jump (too low/still in atmo), which is why the Bucket was in such poor shape before the fight even started.
The Adama maneuver.
It was one of the best moments in TV ever.
Blew me away. The engineer in me, busy working out the dynamics - fighters jumping out of tubes as the mass hulk fell at (approx.) 32ft/sec/sec, while the fan in me was screaming at the pure genius of such an impressive maneuver.
The season 3 finale with Bear McCreary's awesome soundtrack is incredible, goosebumps and tears...
I watched the episode live with my closed captioning on (I couldn't turn it off) and when the music began building and it read _[All Along the Watchtower]_ I was so dumbfounded, yet so hyped to find out what was about to unfold.
"I know the way to Earth and I'm going to take us there." Cue in the Bob Dylan song. Awesome beyond words.
One of *THE* all time great TV shows. Currently watching the repeats on BBC2. Classic. ✊
It was like an even better version of Babylon 5.
Space opera, all of humanity rests in the balance, an impossible uphill battle, all on a limited run TV show.
Also, not afraid to kill of main characters. Nobody is safe.
when the re-boot was announced i thought WHY?
boy was i wrong
much darker, more realistic, more human?
became a big fan
Dee was like a bat to the soul. Her chat with Gaeta just before when he says "You're glowing". Remember too it was THE turning point for the entire story. Adama deciding that fighting the Cylons wasn't worth any more loss so to find common ground and work with them. and Felix and Zereks attempted mutiny and subsequent deaths.
i suppose it was
And they did their research- a good number of people who commit suicide get their stuff in order, have one last good night/day/adventure, and then do it. (Watching that scene actually "caught" a friend before they were gonna...)
@@Sephiroth144 Indeed. I can say from personal experience that a feeling of contentment can be one of the most dangerous emotions when depressed, the false clarity and urge to "leave on a good note" rather than slide back down can be far harder to fight than anything more obvious. That scene hit me like a hammer blow because I recognised her reasoning and how terrifyingly accurate it was.
@@Ylyrra Verily; one of those time where all that studying for the psyche degree came together in a moment of perfect "oh shit..." clarity.
At the point of Felix’s execution, his missing leg stops itching. That broke me
IMO one of the biggest twists in all of SciFi was when they showed what became of Caprica Six after the nuke attack, and she woke in the KY bath; and there was ghost of Baltar that only she could see. I can't believe that didn't make this list. All along we thought Six was some sort of Cylon apparition to help/control Baltar, and then we find out it works both ways.
Or more to the point- that it was a third party, neither Cylon nor Human/Colonial...
Head!Six and Head!Baltar were so great. Tricia Helfer played a bunch of different Sixes and was amazing as all of them.
@@gateauxq4604 Agreed. But of course, hey, its Tricia.
@@gateauxq4604 The producers really struck gold with Tricia Helfer, a literal Victoria's Secret Angel with real acting chops. Six in all her iterations is a rich and wonderful character.
@@Arroway2357 She does an amazing job as Edi in the Mass Effect games too (particularly the third one). And by pretty much every account I've heard she's supposed to be a great person off camera too. Some people are just annoyingly perfect in that way...lol
When starbuck finds her dead body on Earth. Blew my mind! I've watched this series four times now and it still holds up as one of the best television series for me. The goosebumps are real. The relationships that build throughout are real. How Adama is cold and cut off from both Lee and Roslin in the beginning, to him being willing to sacrifice the entire fleet for them. I was so surprised to find that few of the actors received proper recognition for their great work, especially James Callis, who could go from making me hate Guais Baltar to sympathizing with him, to loving him within the span of minutes. His scenes with Roslin and Caprica 6 were always special. This show is so underappreciated by so many but I think that's what makes it all the more special for those who connect with it.
frack yes
If that's me lying there than what am I?!?
I thought it was quite possibly one of the greatest shows ever! I’m not really even a fan of this genre, my ex boyfriend made me watch it and I was dreading it! I was hooked instantly!
I thought of this one right away as well. You're left with a "What the Frack" is she??? I wonder if the writers really knew or they made this one up as they went along. The saddest moment is when she disappears on Lee. Did she really exist at all?
@@HalRappaport Oh, she just pulled a Batman; he turned around and she bolted...
I'm getting emotional just watching this. It might be time for a rewatch of the series. I might even include Caprica in that too. 🤷♂️ I was one of the ones that actually enjoyed that one. 🤷♂️
Yep, time to break out the blurays. Caprica had a lot of potential, shame it got cancelled
I love BSG, but I love Caprica much more. I’ve rewatched 4 times.
Just finished rewatching a month ago. BSG still holds on strong (some CGI didn't age well, but who gives a shit with that plot) but Caprica dissapointed me even more than the 1st time. It had potential, but it tried too hard to drop in as many references to BSG as possible whether it made sense or not.
don't leave blood & Chrome
I know what your feeling and i understand the kind of pull this show has and I am also having that issue of watching it so many times over that I just can't get enough of it. But if you want to watch something new or different, I would recommend Star trek DS9 which Ronald D. Moore was also heavly involved with, OR expanse seems to be a really interesting show that I am currently watching now. Its hard to let go of BSG but man we have to if we are going to broaden our horizons a bit. There are still some solid space drama's and scifi series you may find you really enjoy.
Currently rewatching this with my Grandma who missed it when it was airing and, man, she's loving it. I forgot how much I loved the Adama/Roslin dynamic. I've seen people complain about the end but it's never really bothered me. I just wish the final season didn't feel so rushed. I know Moore didn't want to stretch it out for ratings but it really could've used a fifth season before settling down into Earth.
The ending didn't bother me- SAVE the last three minutes. That... that they could've left.
The ending was the best part. The tie up to the series was a little rushed but other than that it was great.
@@charlessmith1890 Agreed completely!
I think the simple critizim with the end of this series is the line "god did it in the end" as least George R R martin seems to think so as he already told us how much he hates that concept but even then the allogorical representation and spirtual religious tones of the series i think really gave it something that goes even beyond a character drama and made things more interseting and mysterious with its lore. The whole scientific meaning at the end of which all this time they were 150 million years in the past was also pretty mind blowing. BSG really was Poetry in motion, it was a masterpiece that perhaps was a bit to ambitious but all in all the series lended it self well as a whole I think.
@@Artimes.
To be fair, its not "God did it". Its more like "Something did it". The series blatantly says that "something" does not like to be called God. So....its "something" but you just do not know what it is.
As for Martin....its going to be quite rich of him if he does indeed wish to have the 3 eyed raven in power at the end of his Song of Ice and Fire. Its pretty much the very same thing, just, in Game of Thrones, the God which wins is named during the story. The 3 eyed raven pretty much acts like a God, together with powers to explore the past and future.
The one twist (sorta) I will always remember is Rosalin giving the order to abandon the non-FTL ships in the mini-series. My heart just sank on that one.
I was a devout fan from then on.
Never, ever liked Rosalyn. The actor played a great character, but the character was a piece of crap.
@@danielmitchell6940
Don't get me wrong, Mary McDonnell is a great actress but I will admit some of her roles either don't fit her or the reverse somehow and comes off as a little underdeveloped. Whether that's her or a fault of writers is anyone's guess. In my opinion her part in BSG was something that I just became accustomed to and eventually respected. Playing a teacher thrust into some sort of dying chosen leader in an opening pilot is rather difficult enough. When such a new character is in a show being immediately compared to its predecessor only compounds the matter.
All things considered, she did pretty well by shows end.
@@danielmitchell6940 i mean i felt that way with all characters. The morality in BSG is barbaric. The class inequality, the firing squad, raping prisinors. I'm glad they blew up Caprica if this is what they were like 😅
Kinda why I could never latch onto anyone. They were all so alien to me. If I met any of them in real life I'd stay far away from them. 😆
That was the grabber for me too. It was the right choice. It was the only choice. But you felt it when other ship captains radioed in hoping she burns in Hell.
And then later for good measure, just when you thought they were done kicking your heart in the nuts, Roslyn is informed that the little girl she met earlier on the greenhouse ship died because it had no FTL. There was nothing at all she could do with the immense outrage, hatred, sadness, and self-loathing this brought.
I was surprised that Caprica wasn't embraced by the BSG audience. I found the storyline of how the Cylons came to be...so humanly predictable. Yes it had some unnecessary melodrama, but it also had incredible potential to become a minimum 3-season core series in the BSG universe.
While I didn't hate it, it just seemed like a poorly executed great idea. Even enjoyed it a bit despite that.
I gave up on it quickly just because they were dragging everthing out far too slowly. Good ideas, good actors, great characters, but bad pacing. Also, it followed after the first series sort of burnt out its brilliance. I am sad about that.
I'll always concede that the first half was flawed. It did feel like they were dragging all the plot points so they could climax at the mid-season finale point, causing everything to feel very drawn out. But then Jane Espenson stepped down as showrunner and I believer it was Drew Z. Greenberg who stepped up and the second half was such a marked improvement. The stories moved at a much faster pace without also seemingly rushed. He wrapped up some plot threads and built some new ones that were so promising. Of course, Syfy were eager to dump it because when they brought it back from hiatus (months earlier than originally planned after fans' outcries), they aired only 3 of the latter 9 episodes before deciding to can it. (They announced it after airing the fourth, but I remember it didn't include a trailer for the fifth, meaning they had already made up their minds before it even aired.)
For me a big problem was so much time spent on the non-Cylon stuff. I don't remember the show that well, but I recall a crime sub-story and a Matrix-like VR sub-story that just seemed to drag and not connect very well to the premise of the show being about how the Cylons came to be. The show was finally getting pretty good by the end but it was too late.
I still can hear Roslin's "He was so young!" shriek whenever I think of Billy's death. Utterly heart breaking totally unexpected
I can still hear Roslin saying "... I'm coming after all of you!..."
ye... I hated that episode and episodes like it. Galactica has no filler episodes in the most technical sense.
When nothing plot relevant happens all episode until the last 5 mins. Billy dying totally fit the bill for a BSG filler episode. What a way to go 😅
I'm kinda surprised the ending, with them finding our Earth 150 thousand years ago and everybody now days is half Cylon wasn't on the list. To be honest I've always believed something like this really happened.
It would explain the "Ancient Astronauts" Theory and why so much advanced tech was found around the world...
Except the fly the fleet into the sun, because we all want to live like primitive apes now....
One of the best endings for a tv show. Making me think oh ya this could have happened.
well that was definitely unexpected
Yes, however the alien hyper-intelligence, has let us all down.
the dumb jerks!
Nobody saw the identities of the final Cylons coming because the writers didn't decide who they were until earlier that season. They might as well have thrown darts at a cast list.
by that time the show went from seemingly having a plotted out arc to just becoming "stuff happens" and "looks who's a cylon."
Most unexpected twist was baltar having the knowledge of farming from his past and needing it the most at the end.
o wow, didn't even think of that 😅
I forgot about that.
This reminds me of The Magicians. The crops in Fillory worked by magic and Elliot had to reveal that he grew up on a farm and showed them how to grow crops the regular way, when crop magic stopped working.
The Callie arc still breaks my heart to this day.😥
The outcome of Gaeta's mutiny, actually being killed was a bit shocking to me. I kept thinking that at least He would be saved. When it didn't happen, I was a little shocked!
nah, this show made it quite clear what happens to traitors.
I was more curious what would happen to that one guard that was escorting Adama. Did Adama forgive him? 🤔
We will never know 😅
When Felix’s missing leg stopped itching just as he was about to be shot
There is a lot of theories on Dee’s death. I think everyone saw a part of what she was dealing with. For me I saw that after all of the death and destruction, she wanted just one perfect moment to leave on. Dee had a romantic date with Apollo and she wanted that happy experience to be the last one she experienced. It reminded me of the scene in Soylent Green where Edward G Robinson went to a gov center commit suicide and saw video of earth before he died and they turned his body into food
Lots of theories by people who don't understand mental health and feel the need to invent a convoluted explanation. She was depressed and had no support and was sufficiently competent that everyone thought she had it together while everyone else was falling apart, and she had a moment of happiness with no hope that it could ever last or return, and decided she was content with that being the arc of her story, rather than one that returned to what seemed to her of a future of struggle to no purpose or joy. Lee never had any true idea just how cruel he was to her or how deeply he hurt her by never seeing beyond his own needs and wants. She didn't just want to be happy with him, she wanted to be able to trust that happiness wasn't going to be taken away again, and he could never give her that... or was even aware that he needed to. He crushed her spirit and ability to fight.
It was some of the most brutally accurate writing on the show.
Definitely the best tv show reboot .The cast and also the writers were amazing and still are very underrated.
Ihavetheentireserirsondvdcsntgetenoughofitno.6lovehertobitz.
There's FMA Brotherhood. Tough competition out there 😁
The Adams Maneuver was awesome. Dee’s suicide was heart-breaking.
Great list!
It was also stupid the tactic heavily damaged the Galactica
Tory Foster: “Hey, we all capable of making mistakes.” Colonel Tigh: “yeah, yeah; your forgiven.”😂 as the final five were putting their hands in to unite their minds to complete a deal with the Galactica crew.
