      I love the way this series made Galactica into a historical relic of an older time, right from the very first episode. And it's so fitting that they turned it from a mothballed, old museum piece back into an operational battlestar... to serve as the key to the single most important mission in human history.

    That scene when Kara slaps Gaius is probably one of my favourite scene of her. She was really vulnerable and genuine there. She don't slap people, she punches them but there she was really in a situation she wasn't used to. Even though Gaius have seen her without clothes, for the first time ever she was really naked. Love that scene.

      As far as I know, this is the only television series that portrayed the military the proper way.
      Even down to the communications like this “ this is Galactica actual’
      The ship is the only one that the bridge, CC is in the middle of the ship where it should be not in front where it is the most vulnerable
      I am also a veteran of the Navy my ship, the USS Samuel Elliott Morrison was decommissioned and sold
      I believe to turkey
      Personally I would’ve rather seen her turn into razor blades
      I watched a documentary on the USS enterprise had 20 battle stars the most ship has had
      And they were actual plans to turn it to a museum, but the crew protested according one of the veterans “ Men died on the ship I don’t wanna see kids running around with sticky fingers touching the machine guns that men use I’m happy she was scrapped. “
      The Galactica was a perfect representation of an aircraft carrier in space

      @@TECHMAN132 - I like to think the Navy similarity is due to Moore, specifically, as he was (sort of) a Navy vet. In the pilot, there's another parallel over the 1MC to the announcement of, "There are men working aloft..." - Gaeta can be heard saying, "There are men EVA. Do not radiate or energize electronic equipment while men are EVA" It's the little things like that where it strikes the inner Vet with a smile. I completely agree with you on the portrayal.

    Galactica is very much like HMS Warspite. She earned 15 battle honours (the most decorated ship in the Royal Navy), including Jutland, Narvik, Matapan, Crete, Salerno and Normandy. She wore out her guns shelling Normandy, took a direct hit from a Fritz X, was bombed in Crete and later hit a mine but flat-out refused to die (this is in addition to the 150+ hits she took at Jutland). When they tried to scrap her, she broke free of the tow lines, damaging two tugs and grounding a salvage ship.

    You know, the Galactica has really gone through a lot of shit: it entered the atmosphere twice, was upgraded twice, participated in long-distance races, survived a nuclear strike, served 16 years of war (12 years of the First War and 4 years of the Second War), Participated in the largest battles (Marathon, Caprica, Ghost Fleet, New Caprica) and existed for 56 years old. The fact that the Galactica is dying now is a blessing from the Gods/God.
    Galactica has always seemed to me like another participant in this journey and seeing her die is also very painful, but I think it's time for her to rest. However, we will finish one last case.

    Grand Ol' Lady indeed.
    The show did a beautiful job in treating Galactica with the same care as any other character whose story is ending. She has other characters quietly (or loudly) saying their farewells, we see her crew mourning in various ways, and Bear did wonderful things with her musical motif that allows the sadness to colour the scenes.
    Gorgeous. Thanks Angela. Thanks Xander.

    Here's a scientific theory/ explanation. Another show semi-recently posited that a broadcast was transmitted through Cosmic Background Radiation... maybe in the BSGverse, the cosmic background radiation is in the form of "All Along the Watchtower." Leoben at one point talks about the universe ringing with an unstuck melody that few can hear, Kara being one of the few. Music has been described as being able to 'flow' over oneself, as a stream does. Hell, we STREAM music now. The stream is the music, which carries knowledge and prophecy, echoing through a timeless story told over and over. The Galactica is an island in this stream of cosmic background radiation - of stars. Kara flew into a maelstrom, a storm, and let the current of the stream carry her away. The energy that was her was set adrift from her body, but reconstituted, and her she is, able to feel the pull of Earth, carried on her new Viper's instrument through a song. Still pretty airy-fairy ethereal, but perhaps a bit more grounded than the show was willing to spell out.

Moore show), they were such a joy to work with that a larger expanded role was written for them, and they became the greatest thing of their show.

This season is rocky bc of the writer's strike + the push to wrap up the series, but I do think the EPs made Decent Choices that feel authentic if a bit sudden in order to give us a HELL of a final 20 minutes.

    They have been struggling to keep their own ships going through those years without any kind of the repair facilities whatsoever - and those aren't ships meant to operate alone for long stretches of time. Add battle damage, the ocasional riot and whatnot, and most of them must be on the brink of failing - killing the people inside them.

By now im guessing you have finished watching watching the show and are just now waiting for them to drop here. but as you probably have seen this show is everything. I look forward to your thoughts on the last 3 episodes. some people did not enjoy it as a series finally, but for me it was the most perfect finally ever made for any show, and i look forward to explaining my thoughts why it was that for me as you experience it. thank you once again for the reactions.

    Athena has every right to be mad at Tyrol. If he didn't help Boomer escape from her cell, Hera wouldn't have been taken and the Galactica wouldn't have sustain heavy damage during the escape. Adama should execute him for that, but the Cylons and the rest of the Five may have a problem with that.

      Yep, he committed several crimes by his own choice, and was an accessory to kidnapping even if he didn't know it. In any court of law, he would be convicted, because "I was manipulated" isn't a Get Out of Jail Free card. Courts expect adults to operate based upon their intellect, not their emotions. He chose to assault an Eight, break Boomer out of her cell, and help her steal a Raptor. Helped her load that crate without checking its contents. And there he is, taking accountability, because he knows that it is his.
      The show consistently shows us characters who absolutely know better, but make poor decisions because they allow their emotions to override sense. Everyone on the show has done it at some point, because it's very human.

    BSG would not be the show it was if it was Just All Science - especially given its roots. It's not remotely necessary to 'believe' (I don't) - but BSG is a perfect vehicle for letting yourself pretend to believe; just a little. This whole story illustrates that you don't have to be religious to act religiously - and we all do - for better and worse, and we get to see both sides of it over and over here.
