"You know, I know about farming..."
Hard to imagine that she was there in the very beginning with his father, and in the end on Earth.
Love it.
I know, Gaius.
I wish we would have seen at lest one more scene with his dad. Caprica mentioned that she took his dad to a senior community where he could maintain a garden and be a farmer again. That should have been nice to seen that.
Honestly, even in real life that sounds like an awesome idea of an Aged Care home.
The pay off for this scene is on the last ep. It'll bring a tear to your eyes
Farming? Really Gaius? A man of your talents?
@@usul573 the cell scene when he talks in his native tongue, incredible.
@@MUFFINHEAD1985 I wonder if they do a lot of accent work over at London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. It's insane how Jaime Bamber does an American accent the entire series so well. He's English too. Both he and James Callis went there.
@@usul573 I'm a straight guy raised in London but fuck me dude he's a charismatic fucker. Killer actor.
It makes Gaius more human, who doesn’t have a parent who is like that and says hurtful,things to their children annd embarasses you in front of your friends. It always brings me to tears!
We are rewatching Galactica. In season 3 at the moment. How in the hell didn’t Callis not win an Emmy??
David Poulton Somehow, none of them won any 😕
Easy the Emmys don't take sci if seriously.
Just started Disk 2 of season 3. Awesome stuff.
It's the emmy's it's always been irrelevant. The industry hates everything that the people love because they're elitist cocksuckers that believe they know what's best.
My mom related to this when I showed her this theme as she was born with a South Western specifically Cornish accent, her family grew up poor and when she excelled in school she actually changed her accent because of the stigmatization she faced in British classist society. She said moving away from there felt like it was the only time she felt she escaped the confines of her upbringing determining her life.
Truly one of the best 'back-story' scenes in the series. There were many good ones, but this brought it home.
So Aerilon is Yorkshire
Aye. Tis.
Cornwall actually
Gaius has a native Yorkshire accent. His dad's is West Country (Tiverton, where the actor comes from). It doesn't make much sense so I guess they just conflated rural working class 'farmer' accents.
@@leeboy26 Yeah but specifically emphasize that Balter intentionally changed his accent to hide his family background.
@@keitht24 The point he was making is that Gaius' real accent, as revealed when he was in the brig talking with chief during BSG show, is actually a completely different accent to the guy who was cast as his dad is speaking in this video clip (different regions of England). i.e. Gaius and Gauis' dad's "real" accents are completely different to one another. If you're not a native Brit, it probably isn't so obvious.
Some of the rawest acting ever seen
"Bet you charge a lot more than that" and " ridiculous working class heroes rant" always make me laugh, but its incredibly tense and rough too, so real like the entire series. This was the scene I was waiting for this channel to upload.
6 knew it was all coming to an end, I think this signals the last time Gaius will spend time with his father.
You can see how Caprica six moved beyond being a sentient machine to a living person with an understanding of human emotions and empathy.
She pitties Gaius putting up with his abusive father, yet she also is disgusted by how he is so dismissing of his dad.
She is horrified by the old mans sexism and toxic attitude about how to be a man, yet she also feels sorry for him.
She is beginning to learn humans aren't just sentient meat bags, they are complex beings which the cylons could learn from.
She reminds Gaius he is talking to his father and to respect him.
Whilst she plans to kill her own parents, the human race
I was coming here to say, "there's lesson to be learned here, for anyone who cares to pay attention".
Just to add though; his dad wasnt being sexist. He was mocking Gaius. His dad had Gaius pegged for a shallow, self-centred man, who used money and influence to bed women - something we see when Gaius is caught by Six bedding another woman. His shallow nature is shown when he dismisses Six at that point and suggests she has broken into his house ...
Ah yes. Understanding the abusive father. Atleast he only had one to deal with hahaahha
@@G777GUN Only one? W-what's that supposed to mean?
"Tell you what dad, if you hate my money so much, you can try living without it."
The chemistry between these two throughout the series is fantastic.
...there is such a strange authenticity to this and it must have come from James Callis himself, or the episode's writer must have been. The British are obsessed with accent and status and Baltar's father is recognisably speaking like a Yorkshireman, which is strongly associated with the rustic in Britain. The accent is regarded as provincial, and Baltar himself has adopted The Queen's English (or Caprican in this universe), seen as upper-class accentuation. It shows just how much willpower and determination he really has, despite his treason and cowardice and carnality...
From a farm to Caprica to the end of the human race ... back to the promised land ... a farm. Quite the journey there. Gotta wait 150,000 years to see what happens next.
From a Farmer to Caprica to Scientist to Vice President to President to Political Puppet to Cylon prisoner to Colonial prisoner to Socialist Figurehead to Trial for Treason to Religious Cult Leader to an Instrument of God to a Farmer.
This be the new one you be banging, eh? LOL
At 0:48 I swear he says "Fucking" instead of "Fracking".
Correct
Nah, he says "fracking". At a higher volume, with headphones, it's clearer.
No I can definitely hear the 'a' if not the 'r'.. though one of the webisodes definitely had that slip-up
Theres a few times they get away with it theres ine where someone is yelling at hot dog
THE THIRD NURSE!
I love the bit of him swatting at his dad with the newspaper or whatever
LOL! Don't you just hate that. When the parental unit FRACKS up everything! Baltar's going nuts.
Scenes important it shows 6 having some emotions. You can see it on her face. She’s about to blow up this entire city but feels sad about Gaius situation with his father. Later 6 also makes sure Gaius doesn’t get hurt from the blast.
The Gauis backstory was definitely interesting. Good time was focused on the scene writing, unlike other character stories that screamed "make it up as you go, and finish it before 5pm". Still, the Gauis story arc felt one season too late.
Wilderness Survival instructor Personal Account I feel like Gauis and a few other characters backstories definitely were written from the start, other seemed to just be made up as it wenr along
Gaius and Adama backstory scenes were the best. Roslin’s were ok too.
This is such a recognisable family argument "I need this, I need this like fracking hole in the head". Obviously swap out the fracking.
Gaius Baltar is what happens when you take Dr. Smith from Lost in Space and give him the most dramatic arc of anyone in the series. Although as amazing as the character is and as well as he’s written, I don’t know if anyone could have done as good of a job as James Callis. This show never getting Emmy acting nominations isn’t far behind the Wire never getting any for biggest oversights in Emmy history.
Someone to Trust, playing in the background, makes the poignancy of the scene ever more emotionally deep.
Perfect metaphor for the relationship between the Cylons (the offspring) and humanity (the parent).
Did he say "Fucking" hole in his head?
Make you want to think what is on her mind? ?
ronniertera ncc1701e trekk Given the Cylon rhetoric (and obsession, one might say) about the parental relationship between humans and Cylons, I find it interesting that the only thing we get to hear her say is something to Gaius that's implicitly about respecting one's father. I think she was partly genuinely shocked and partly already thinking about how she could use this to bind Gaius closer to her.
I don't think anything was on her mind really, she must've been absorbing the complexities between their dynamic like a child
The first time the other f-word other than Frak is said.
If you're referring to the dialogue at 0:48, he says "fracking". You have to listen with headphones and at a higher volume to hear it, but he doesn't curse.
Always love your parents including their flaws. You are you because of the way they raised you (good or bad). We all make mistakes as you will with your own children.
No. I will not tolerate evil, and most people(including our parents) are pure evil.
@@sequorroxx Why? Cause you sound like a fucken idiot.
@Nohbdy They said that "most people" are evil
@Nohbdy Yes. Oh
@@alcoholandfun243 If you lived with my dad you will know why. Some people should never have children. He is the main reason why I dont want to have any.
The scene would have worked better if the father had been better cast. James Callis is giving it 110% and the guy playing his dad was just hamming it up like he was in a pantomime. 😂
I don’t remember this... great show
His dad speaks with a Dorset accent.
"I need this like a fucking hole in the head", GG, James.
I don’t remember this. Was it a deleted scene?
snowben837 No, it was in the final episode.
Nope, I remember it. A flashback during one of the later episodes iirc
Alright, my memory must be fading
@@Freesorin837 Guess you'll have to marathon it again.
There were aditional scenes added to the finale two-parter of the home video release. Can't remember if this was one of them.
Fuck is an Airelon word. Seems legit.
Gaius’ behavior is understandable, he did nothing wrong here.
except deny who he was.
MUFFINHEAD1985 Not really. He evolved as a person. His background is nothing to be proud of.
@@zico739 Especially with a father like that.
His father definitely struck a nerve with Gaius, and he was right--Gaius was definitely ashamed of his past, and looked at farming as beneath him. I think this makes him a more interesting character. He's not evil, though he is a flawed man, much like many of us.
@@zico739 What's not to be proud of. His father was a farmer & enjoyed that lifestyle. Being a farmer is nothing to be ashamed of. It seems more like his father has every reason to be ashamed of Balter. He changed his accent & turned his back on hid entire family. He hides his background & seemingly shuts his family away. His father here, is old senile, but his points still remain.
Gaius its a Cylon?
He shoulda let dad watch.
That woulda calmed him down
