      Actually both B5 and DS9 came out of different versions of the same script and sourcebook, basically, the same author left some copies of his ideas lying around several studios as he went after someone who would be interested in making his project a reality, and some studio head found it and handed it to the people who made DS9 as something they could take ideas from, believing that it was from some abandoned show that never made it into production, and the result were 2 shows, filmed at the same time, based on the same source.

    2:38 I love that green light board display on the back wall. It's showing galactica's structural integrity throughout the ship. This episode takes place shortly before they find the dead earth, but this split second moment already shows just how weakened galatica has become. as it shows most of her lateral struts (her spine) has been compromised. Granted the cylon renegades buy her some time in the coming episode with repairs, but its a wonderful attention to detail foreshadowing tighs statement in the final episode after her last jump that "all lateral structural lights on the board are red... her backs broken, she'll never jump again." Little things that make this show great.

As a result the crew's understanding of her maximum integrity was based upon a ship built to code....galactica was not and as such damage the specs said the ship could endure was crippling to the now elderly and under-supported galactica.

    This has always been one of my favorite scenes. You can sense the absolute panic, discord, and fear of the crew on all three ships from not knowing who’s friend or enemy. The other ships in the fleet, and the president’s shuttle hurrying to the safety of Galactica, really amplified the gravity of the situation as the Vipers race past the civilian vessels desperately trying to jump away. This scene was executed just phenomenally. We also can’t forget Bear’s scoring. High marks all around.

      Yeah, that's a nice detail. But it's also quite a pointless design feature if you think about it.
      1) It gives each gun turret a massive weak spot that can be exploited by any stray Raider that would be able to slip past Vipers and flak shield. One missile hit and the entire gun crew is dead and/or vented into space
      2) Visual contact with the target is useless for the gun crews as they are getting target solutions from ballistic computers anyway and I reckon Galactica has some sort of centralized fire control system to synchronize all batteries.

      ​ @Cowracer67 1) That is true, but that glass cockpit would be probably shattered even by cannon fire, while a fully enclosed, heavily armored turret can be taken out only by an accurate hit with a high-penetrating weapon. If you really need to have gun crews stationed directly in the turrets, you could at least protect them by moving them inside of the turret. They can't rely on visual information anyway.
      2) placing humans in gun turrets is an obsolete concept in itself, especially when you can hardwire them to a ballistic computer. Even our current naval warships don't use manned turrets anymore with all the targeting info being relayed from their CIC.

    Really nothing special that Tigh did. As Rob Gyanisu said, he simply noticed no Raiders were launching. As shown in the first episode, Cylons are pretty predictable. When a basestar shows up, it pretty much always launches Raiders to disperse Galactic's fire and to hold off Vipers. But this one jumps smack dab in the middle of the entire fleet and just sits there, not even moving an inch. Something is obviously different.

      "Obviously different" yes, but not "obviously safe". It's entirely possible the basestar was one giant suicide bomber which would launch/self-detonate a bunch of nukes right in the middle of the fleet. Tons of other potential scenarios too, all of which constitute a "shoot first, ask questions later" response. The possibility that a cylon basestar is actually FRIENDLY should not have crossed any sane military commander's mind if their objective is the protection of the last remnants of humanity. Tigh's "gut feeling" was truly a miracle that it turned out to be right.

      For me, BSG went bad after the New Caprica rescue. It was still an ok show but never again reached the heights of S1/S2 along with the Battle of New Caprica. Later episodes included that ridiculous Tillium fuel refining ship where men sorted rocks by hand, utterly insane as modern petrol isn't hand refined let alone some sort of ultra high yield super fuel...Also the Gaeta/Zarek rebellion, in the words of my friend "there was no suspense as the rebels were made up of rapists and murderers with all the big name characters being on one side; it was obvious who was going to win". The final episode felt way too long, the bits on Earth simply felt forced and the insistence on shoe horning All Along The Watchtower into the storyline was meh. Why the hell was the Cylon Colony doing "there" after what would likely be many many light years away from the 12 Colonies as they had been travelling for years by that point?! But I'm too harsh, was a great show overall!

    • @Negativvv

      The lack of discipline could be explained as Galactica was the remnant of the Colonial military plus it was a ship that was literally en route to the scrap yard at the time of the attack. So it was staffed with personnel either looking for a retirement job or ones who were likely deemed by the fleet to be unworthy of serving on more modern ships. That doesn't explain how well the pilots performed Vs Cylon Raiders which were purpose built and bred to fight but meh...

      When they weren't busy adding additional models for no reason. Dialogue in season 1 indicated about sixty odd ships (63 after Olympic Carrier's destruction in 33 when it was indicated by Dualla that there were 63 civilian ships (53 jumped away Jump 237, 10 reporting trouble with FTLs)). I've counted the entire fleet (except in Six Degrees of Separation) and I got 84 ships in total (including the seven we know were lost onscreen -- Olympic Carrier, Cloud Nine, one of the six Colonial Movers, one of the two Kodiaks, one of the three Long-necked ships, Adriatic (one of the two Colonial Defenders), Carina (one of the four flattops) and Pyxis (one of the three Sagitarrian Spaceways passenger liners)).

    Show was outstanding and the Galactica became a major character in herself. One of the toughest ships in sci-fi and one of the most iconic.
    I choked up when she made her final jump and her super structure collapsed. She never let the crew down or the fleet she protected. She was the greatest Battlestar of them all.

    I remember watching the original series as a kid in the early eighties.. and i was even more thrilled to watch this "updated & reimagined" one.. From a campy space romp to this magnificently gritty, rough and well written show. The show Caprica didn't work for me though.. I was hoping to see more of the Cylon war era that we had a glimpse of in the webisodes and the mini-series.

    • @stevepalpatine2828
      @stevepalpatine2828 2 роки тому

      We would have got that if they hadn't cancelled it.
      Caprica was just starting to get good in last few episodes.
      They just wasted too much time on sub plots, from the few upcoming scenes they showed, the 2nd Season, if there had been one would have been much better.
      It's a pity they wasted entire episodes on bad sub plots that could have been condensed into a single episode.
      I think if it had had another season the prove itself it would have been great.

      To be fair if an enemy ship suddenly appeared in the middle of your fleet you are going to think about how to destroy it before you really notice how weird it is. which is exactly what Tigh does, he orders wings of vipers to attack then in a moment of pause realised how off the situation is. it's only 1 base star, they haven't launched Raiders or Missiles and are just sitting in the middle of the fleet.

    There was always something dramatically beautiful about seeing the fleet ships jumping away - like you could just see the panic. For the civilian ships, jumping was the only thing they could do. I'll always remember the scene in the miniseries where those ships with FTL have to jump away to avoid being destroyed - leaving those without to the mercy of the Cylons.
