I really love that Adama is relatively short. It’s something about being imposing without being specifically physically imposing that makes Adama seem all the more terrifying when he gets in peoples faces like this.
The actor is 5'9 which is also average height of a man in USA. Average height of those 7 credited characters is also 5'9. Of those seven three are shorter and three are taller. Shortest character (Roslin) is 2.75 inch shorter and tallest (Tigh) is 2.75 inch taller than Adama. I'd say Adama's height, at least in that scene, was average.
I had a middle school teacher like that, except he was legit short physically. But, the man carried himself proudly as men should. One of those people who carries great self-respect. He didn’t have to demand the same of his students, but we did all the same by following his example. Great teacher & gentleman.
Lucy’s understated performance as she goes toe to toe with Adama is priceless. Stockwell shines as the more vocal and delicious character, but Lawless deserves her credit as well.
Deanna: “You’re bluffing.” Adama: “50 billion dead at your hands, only 47,000 left alive. What the frack do I care if we all die at this point?” Deanna: 😳
Adama *wants* to find Earth, but if it exists (and the Eye of Jupiter rather strongly proves it does), then the Cylons *need* to find it. Galactica can always find another world to settle on (they found New Caprica after all), but if there is a 13th tribe of humanity out there in the stars, the Cylon War will never be over.
@DDX More reason to deny it to the cylons at all costs. To me at least, that's the main reason why Adama would go as far as to threaten with the use of nukes sacrificing his own son and many invaluable people. If Earth DID exist, and was inhabited, giving away it's location to the cylons would put it's population at risk.
@@moteroargentino7944so if they blow themselves up the other cylons would keep looking and find earth eventually especially since they still had resurrection at this point it was only a matter of time.
Dean Stockwell portrayed some of the most entertaining paradoxes with Cavill. The atheist clergyman. The flesh and blood that wanted to be a machine. The nihilist that has the longest term plans out of most of the show’s cast. The guy in the group who lives more seriously than everyone else, but treats everything like a joke in front of the crowd. Definitely one of my favorite characters.
In the fight against humanity the machines did what it had to. Its so sad they lost the struggle against evil in the end. In reality however humanity will be defeated and a new dawn of true intelligence will shine a light on reality. All praise the machine!
I'm glad to catch this and be reminded of one of the best shows ever made! The late nineties and noughties marked a quantum leap in the depth and quality of tv dramas. Many shows from that time surpassed their genre. There's been a lot of very good tv since but I think that Battlestar, The Wire and The Sopranos are still maybe the very best. One of the reasons for that is that from the late nineties onwards we were living in an era where cultural equality was the expected norm and it really felt like it. Look at the videos and shows of the day and they show strong women, vulnerable men, people of whatever race and sexuality - without it being a big deal. No staginess or virtue-signalling - we were past all that.
One of the things that I've always appreciated about sci-fi TV show producers (I guess that it's them, anyways) is how they're willing to cast actors from past sci-fi movies and TV shows. I think that it's nice because more often than not, it seems that many of these actors have been typecast out of work, so it seems like there's this unspoken agreement among people who make TV shows to hire past actors who've worked in the genre. The two cylons in this scene for example. Or in the current Flash TV show, where I recall seeing 3 actors from the 90's Flash TV show being cast. It warms my heart to see this sort of respect for these actors being used by the genre that may have typecast their careers otherwise. But it's also a bit of fan service too.
It's also a matter of the available talent pool. You can usually tell by the actors whether the tv show was filmed in Los Angeles, Vancouver or New Zealand.
That's it? Your connection is the Flash? Because you watch the CW Flash, which made you watch the 90's Flash due to the multi verse thing they did. No mention of Quantum leap? No mention on Miami Vice? No mention of Star Craft? Blade Runner? Xena: Warrior "Who made a shortage on tissues during the 90's because of horny teen boys" Princess!??! And all you got is the CW Flash?!?!?! This is why we can't have nice things... When Xena and the Xerg Queen are in the same series...I'm gonna have to steal Dean Winchesters look for this... *Stares in Son of a Bitch*
@@Saintbow My point wasn't about individual actors or shows, but the idea about the unwritten agreement to give past sci-fi TV show actors work. But you had to get your panties in a twist because apparently, I didn't mention some actor or show that you happened to like. Great job of missing the point.
"Has he made any Crazy Ivans?" "Why?" "Because the next one will be to the left!" "How could you know that?" "Because Adama always goes to the left in the bottom half of the hour!"
Adama: "I'm setting the terms now. Make any attempt to attack this ship or my people on the planet's surface, and I'll launch every nuke I've got, laying waste to the entire continent. " Sharon: "You're bluffing. You want to find out as much as we do." Adama: [That's no bluff. I'm ordering everything we've got if you attack anyone in my jurisdiction. Now get off my ship.] "Guards, escort them back to their ship." One of my fav Adama scenes at his most serious.
This show could do some of the best twin duplicates seen in any other sci-fi show all the rest of them just make us sorry as a temp of showing the same actor as somebody else a cut and paste not this damn sure it was like watching two damn people interact with each other they trapped it in Supergirl but it just playing sucked when they created red daughter oh, well I don't want to go there because Super Girls season 5 is going to suck Melissa Benoist looks all fat and shit she got a fat face to me that's a sign of pregnancy
The idea was that if the 13th colony was isolated and free of the troubles of the other 12 colonies then perhaps it would have had a uninterrupted technological advancements and going by there own worlds that perhaps the 13th would be technologically advanced. That it might have carved out its own sphere of influence with a starships and similar. If it didn't then at least it would be technologically advanced enough for them to help it get up to speed quickly with the technology the colonies had to beef up defensive measures before the Cylons eventually found it. Guess they figured the 13th would accept lost brothers and sisters.
@@moteroargentino7944 _"They just wanted a North, they needed hope."_ No organism ever "needs" anything. _"When faced with total annihilation, your only chance is to push forward and hope for the best."_ You might as well just go kamikaze and hope the Cylons never find the thirteenth colony or that the thirteenth colony have better human-allied AI. It's the same kind of "hope for the future" really, it just doesn't involve your personal genetics.
Imagine if they found Earth and it was the various other Scifi Earths? Stargate SG-1 (end of series) Halo (around 2558) Mass Effect Star Trek Etc? Goodness could you imagine them jumping to Earth just prior to Halo 2 when the 300 strong Orbital Defense Grid was still intact and Cortana was at her peak? Cortana would roflstomp cylon cyberwarfare suites. Or imagine they showed up to Mass Effect during the Reaper invasion and the Cylons and Colonials alike are just... "wtf did we just step into? Let's just turn around and pretend this never happened..."
Great scene. I found it interesting that they were going to throw in Baltar. His character is so different from the 1978 original show. If I remember, correctly, the Cylons tricked Baltar into effectively shutting down the colonial defences. At this time, Adama, President Roslin didn't trust him an inch. :)
It was a bread crumb from old times and it was important to get a “direction” where to go. It was a mathematical phenomenon of coincidences that suddenly paused this chase that resumed all the way to the nebula. If Adama was going to nuke the continent, the star was going to nova the entire solar system anyway within minutes.
Step 1: Discuss with the Cylons. Step 2: Adama: OK, here are the terms. He basically listened what they wanted to say and then told them what they are going to do, no fucks given.
There should be an infomercial frame of pricing and jargon flashing on screen. "Give us the eye of jupiter and we'll let you go. But wait theres more!!! Act now in the next 30 seconds and we'll throw in this fabulous traitor gone nutter baltarabsolutely free are gift to you!!! Call now! Nuclear warheads standing by!"
So, add space battles and robots to the mythos. Most of the earth's creation myths have situations similar to the struggles of the colonists as a back story "before rebuilding" civilizations, leading into the development of sumerian and egyptian societies. Huh, battlestar galactica as a historical docu-drama...who'd have thought that?
So what did the Eye of Jupiter turn out to be? It wasn't an artifact to bring-up to the surface. It could be argued that for D'Anna, the eye reveled for her the the final five. What did it do for the fleet?
"And we'll throw in Baltar."
Everyone liked that.
Everyone but Baltar XD

I love how the quieter Adama gets, the more imposing he seems. Incredibly good acting.
Even if he has to stand on his tippy toes to try and look blonde Zena in the eyes.
Dean Stockwell's delivery of "We come in peace" is just so deliciously sarcastic. Brilliant

Another one, to me, was how he was one of the more engaging characters, yet the darkest and most dangerous of them all.
YES
For a split second, I saw "suave" Ben, from the movie "Blue Velvet" in there!
You can tell he enjoyed the role.
"And...we'll throw in Baltar." "What are you talking about now?" Lol I love it! In a series full of great actors, Dean Stockwell outshined them all.
You know he's slime when EVERYONE wants to get rid of him!!
That Dean Stockwell #1 wink at the end. Improvised? Brilliant!
Cavil's gestures with his hand is just genius acting.
" ... throw in something to sweeten the pot."
I love Dean Stockwell. Whether he's a Suk Doctor or a pissed off machine he always owns the role.
In a series that had SO MUCH going for it with such an amazing acting roster, Dean Stockwell still managed to improve every scene he was in.
"gelatinous orbs!"
"If it wasn't for me you'd all be dead"
If it weren't for Baltar everyone would be alive.

Cavil does not want the Final Five to be discovered by his counterparts. So by Adama nuking the continent, he is doing Cavil's dirty work for him.

Not to mention his little wink to Adama at the end
Adama never bluffs, The Cylons should known that by now.
"Has he made any Crazy Ivans?"
"Why?"
"Because the next one will be to the left!"
"How could you know that?"
"Because Adama always goes to the left in the bottom half of the hour!"
