Heartbreaking and heartWARMING at the same time. It is truly a beautiful piece of writing and acting: life coming full circle, being prepared for the future from seeming innocuous moments in the past. Kara being reunited with her father to save humanity and welcome her home. Beautiful.
I’ll never forget the moment I realized what song she was playing. As the camera panned out of their hands on the keyboard my response was the same as Sauls what the frack... that’s the music! This show is so underrated
That look on her face at 3:01 when she realizes who he is. And those few moments, not saying anything or questioning it, just accepting that for a brief moment that the impossible is possible.

... is it just me or was this show insanely underrated? I think the Battlestar Galactica title put a lot of people off watching it when it was released as they remembered the 70s show. I have never watched a show that is so deep and has so many plot twists in my life. Almost every character was perfectly scripted and perfectly portrayed. Gaius Baltar undoubtedly stole the show, why do i not see the actor in more big named films? Colonel Tigh's "frack this" and "frack that" are golden... GOLDEN do u hear me?!
2NangMan : Yes it was extremely well done. Better than the original in some ways, worse in others, depending on the actors involved rather than on the story.
What i love the most about BSG is its soundtrack. Bear McCreary made great use of leitmotifs. In particular the Watchtower one. I don't think I've watched a show that's matched the complexity of Battlestar Galactica's soundtrack and sound design.
The only reason I watched the show was because of the title. If it had been called something else I probably wouldn't have noticed it. There will be more people that watched the show because of the link to the classic series than people who deliberately avoided it because of the link to the classic series.
If this show had gone to anyone but Ron Moore it probably would've sucked. Yeah, I loved James Callis as Baltar and his character did carry a big part of the show. Everyone loves to see a character torn apart and rebuilt to be something positive. My top 3 on BSG are, Baltar, Sal, and Athena. Out of all the characters I loved their stories the most. He has been doing a lot more. B4 Bsg he was mostly an extra and the biggest thing he did was Bridgette Jones.. heh heh.. After that he's done more mainstream guest rolls.. CSI, Arrow and others. He's actually finally getting a lead in the film "The Bay House," and will be starring opposite Steve Guttenberg in "Break Even" about 4 dudes finding 50 Million the dea leaves for the Cartel..
I know the writers confirmed this isn't the case. But I really like the interpretation that Starbuck's father is Seven - Daniel - the Final Cylon who was purged by Cavil, for being Ellen's favourite.
Same! It makes sense both for being the most simple explanation narratively for Kara's origin/nature and also as a perfect connection to the cylon/human hybrid plotline. The first successful hybrid leads them to their new home through her death, and the second hybrid lives on to become mitochondrial eve to the new human race. If Ellen had called Daniel something other than "creative, sensitive, and an artist", I think it would be a harder leap. Now a decade later, this theory and the First Hybrid being Daniel Graystone are basically still about the only plot points I wish they would have confirmed. I'm happy with them being my head canon for now in any case.
Agreed! Would have made perfect sense for her to be a hidden first hybrid child granting her a special destiny. She just dies, reborn, finds her dead body on Cylon Earth, discovers that the notes of this song equal the jump coordinates to Earth II. Then disappears when talking to Lee. No closure what so ever for Kara. Having it all tie into the story of her mother, father, Cylons, 13th Tribe, music notes, and Earth II makes perfect sense. it gives her character's end closure. This whole scene would have been the perfect reveal. Instead it was another twist into her story that never resolves. She as a kid was taught this song by her father. How in the frak did her father know the song of the 13th Tribe if he wasn't a Cylon that was extremely close to Ellen? Then this ghost does the finger smoke thing, touches her hair and face like she remembered as a child, and then disappears.
@@bloodCount8895 Based on the end sequence with the way the interaction tied into Kara's memory and the pianist's disappearance he could have been the angel of her father and given the fact he wasn't there when Saul asks how she knew the song creates the sense she's been guided just as much as anyone else. Having seen this after Nerd Cookies' video on Kara being an angel/Cylon also creates the feeling there was an underlying meaning that was missed
Season four had Saul Tigh go from one of my least favorite characters in the show to one of my top favorites. Season Four was amazing to me in terms of character arcs.
I hated Saul Tigh when the series started. Thought he was a useless idiot. By the end of the series he was my favorite character. Also, met Michael Hogan at a con a few years ago. Incredibly nice, warm, friendly guy.
I still frakking love the use of the number Twelve from Battestar Galactica. Twelve Colonies, Twelve Cylon models, Twelve original Jupiter class Battlestars including Galactica herself, "serpents(vipers) numbering two and ten(a dozen)", and Bear McCreary's genius by figuring out the music can consists of Twelve numbers as coordinates, and finally Kara's song which consists of Twelve notes for the chorus. So say we all!!!!
This show was recently ranked the #19 TV show of all time. Amazing that a sci-fi show from 20 years ago has that much staying power. Goes to show the incredible writing and acting.
This version of it was spectacular. I loved how they low-keyed it at first and kept building it up every time they played it. Somehow it made me feel so charged up with joy.
@@mecurian485 RDM has come out and said unequivocally that Seven was NOT Kara's father. Dreilide appeared here as a Messenger the same as Virtual Baltar or Virtual Six.
@@whette_fahrtz Who cares what RDM says? He never gives a better explanation. Once you write something it’s open to interpretation. The best one is that Daniel is her father.
@@Mopehome Yeah I agree with the other guy who said to listen to Jimi Hendrix's version. Even though Bob Dylan wrote it many of his songs were done better by other artists. That happens sometimes.
Yeah, that song really tossed me for a loop when they started playing it. Even just the first few chords played lightly I caught onto and it just blew my mind. I'm nearly 60 so long familiar with the Jimi Hendrix cover.
still couldnt see the tears, my vision keeps blurring up on these kind of moments....but i sure felt it, this whole series, it rings into my core being...
@@usul573 probably cuz of the documentary style. all the camera work is always as if theyre actually there shooting everything with a camera, right in the middle o it all. it even shake sometimes. during the battles, the perspective is always as if theyre filming from a press helicopter, or raptor in this case maybe lol. that even extends to the lighting and effects.
I remember when this episode first aired and watching it. Not only did I absolutely lose my shit, all my friends and I could talk about the next week was this episode.
Being a huge sci-fi fan I never compare any shows to each other. Every show is different in its quality. Every sci-fi series is great in its own way as far as I am concerned.
It's funny... now I can't help but to hear the final five theme in every note being played, but at the time I just wasn't expecting it and was completely floored when the full complete theme comes in. I was really unsure where they were going with this music thing but when she started playing it, it was pretty amazing seeing these things come together.
Family finally got to binge watch this - when it came out our son was born - so it took nearly 14 years to see this series. We are still blown away by the show, how well it was done and the nostalgia it gave us - with Richard Hatch, the older Centurions - though sad that it all had to end. The character building was incredible - and we became connected to each and everyone of them.
Goosebumps. Still. After all these years. Nothing on TV like this show. There's something about it. Like the aliens made it. Or the watchers. Or something. Not us.
This has all happened before, it will all happen again, this is why it calls out with such power to so many in this specific way. There are no coincidences.
He is Starbuck's father but I believe he is an angelic being who fathered her with Starbuck's human mother. He taught her the coordinates to our Earth when she was a child using musical notes. This same was taught to the Final Five by perhaps the same being two millennial ago and was a sub conscience trigger. That's why Starbuck's mom always knew she was special and had a purpose, just didn't know exactly what. "Kara Thrace shall lead them to their end". The end is Earth.
She was the Harbinger of Death in the sense that she would lead Humanity to its end. The end being our Earth. It would have made a lot more sense if her father was the sole Number 7 Daniel survivor that escaped Number 1's wrath. Ellen said he was a sensitive artist. Kara being the first official "in secret" hybrid child would answer the question as to why she knows the song and the coordinates to Earth and comes back as an angel. Hence making her special, having a gift, and destined for greatness.
Me and my family watched this entire show a while back, probably last year or the year before, and this scene is still the only one that I really remember.
I read that they planned for Dirk Benedict (original Starbuck) to play Kara's father. But they had a falling out over some critical comments Benedict made about the show. Even Katee Sackhoff ended up disliking the guy over his attitude.
This is the quote that the WOKE people didn't like...."Women are from Venus. Men are from Mars. Hamlet does not scan as Hamletta. Nor does Hans Solo as Hans Sally. Faceman is not the same as Facewoman. Nor does a Stardoe a Starbuck make. Men hand out cigars. Women “hand out” babies. And thus the world for thousands of years has gone’ round."
There is a fun fan theory that this Angel of Kara's father is actually a Daniel model that survived Cavill's purge... According to the theory, he received divine visions of Caprica... Drawn to the planets artistic freedom and richness he left to the colonies to pursue his love of poetry, art and so on...This is where he met Kara's mother... He would often tell her about his divine visions and foretold of the daughter they would have whom would be a "Champion of humanity"... Kara's mother bought into it so much that she wanted to see it become a reality... They got married and had a daughter, but soon their marriage hit the skids and one day he just disappeared (Much like Kara in the finale)... Grief stricken, Kara's mother sought to keep a piece of her husband around that she filled Kara's head with Daniels visions to the point Starbuck dismissed them as mere delusions... and the rest is history... Regardless, this theory was eventually discredited by RDM stating that the Daniel plot was just supposed to be nod to Cain&Abel... Still, it's a cool theory...a could technically be canine if they ever wanted to make it that way...
@@swaneeoffback I'll be honest I'd only ever heard of the Jimmy Hendrix version. That article you posted is interesting though since Bob Dylan started performing it more like Jimmy Hendrix and sees it almost as a tribute to him every time it's played. Tldr: thanks for the info it was an interesting read
It would make sense if he was a cylon. Making Starbucks the original cyclone human hybrid before Athena and thus closer to the angels. Hence why she was able to come back after death.
I’ve come to realize this scene sums up exactly how I feel about the show. It has long since past and I can never have the feeling of experiencing it for the first time again and it’s sad. But at the same time it brings me joy to just remember it. Much like the colonials having only memories of their home, I have only memories of the show and reliving them brings me a melancholy joy.
They never explained it (except possibly as "god"), but I always thought that the reason the song "activated" the Five was that they were remembering on some level that Sam had written and played the song for them in their former lives.
And that moment- when she realizes it’s her father, when he just simply smiles in a way that says I love you so very much, I’m so proud of you-so much said in just a smile, just heartbreaking.
This music is so powerful and passionate on what needs to b played for her to save mankind. The emotions and actions taking place of everyon just play d out perfectly to this music. All of them realizing they r the makers, the parents of the cyclones and the new ones is just heart beating which skips to each higher tone. Magical. ❤️☺️
Just rewatched the whole series (In about a week :D) cannot believe that I forgot this scene, the way it just leads into all along the watch tower is seamless and beautiful. This is my favourite sci fi series on reflection. So well done.
Great video. Do you think you could do a viedo for when Adama told his crew about the attack by the cylons as one of my favorite lines is 'As of this moment we are at war.
That thing when you put Bear McCreary’s genius score together with All Along The Watchtower INTO THE PLOT and expect people to go along with it. Well, I go along with it. This is incredible.
The moment when she realizes the person sitting beside her is her father is heartbreaking...
Her Father, aka God

THE BEST TELEVISION DRAMA EVER MADE! An analogy of the human condition, and makes you THINK.
He is Starbuck's father but I believe he is an angelic being who fathered her with Starbuck's human mother. He taught her the coordinates to our Earth when she was a child using musical notes. This same was taught to the Final Five by perhaps the same being two millennial ago and was a sub conscience trigger. That's why Starbuck's mom always knew she was special and had a purpose, just didn't know exactly what. "Kara Thrace shall lead them to their end". The end is Earth.

Hence making her special, having a gift, and destined for greatness.

He would often tell her about his divine visions and foretold of the daughter they would have whom would be a "Champion of humanity"... Kara's mother bought into it so much that she wanted to see it become a reality... They got married and had a daughter, but soon their marriage hit the skids and one day he just disappeared (Much like Kara in the finale)... Grief stricken, Kara's mother sought to keep a piece of her husband around that she filled Kara's head with Daniels visions to the point Starbuck dismissed them as mere delusions... and the rest is history...
Regardless, this theory was eventually discredited by RDM stating that the Daniel plot was just supposed to be nod to Cain&Abel...
Still, it's a cool theory...a could technically be canine if they ever wanted to make it that way...
This has all happened before! Fantastic.
Well, watching this piece of art push me to rewatch the entire Show.
20 years later!!!
This is Battlestar Galactica Magic!!!
Man this was an episode to remember!
The best scene ever
Jimi Hendrix is a saint and I hope he is living in space flying on the Galactica along with David Bowie and Carrie Fisher
yep, but this song is of Bob Dylan...
InS4n3 STILL
@@H19Lab, not still, it's a Dylon song

@@swaneeoffback I'll be honest I'd only ever heard of the Jimmy Hendrix version. That article you posted is interesting though since Bob Dylan started performing it more like Jimmy Hendrix and sees it almost as a tribute to him every time it's played.
Tldr: thanks for the info it was an interesting read
The sheer chills i got when Tigh drops the line "What the frak?!" gets me every time.
First time seeing this scene give me chills. Still does
This scene was so powerful.
I've always wondered if her father is the missing Cylon model, and that's why they can both hear the song.
It would make sense if he was a cylon. Making Starbucks the original cyclone human hybrid before Athena and thus closer to the angels. Hence why she was able to come back after death.
I’ve come to realize this scene sums up exactly how I feel about the show. It has long since past and I can never have the feeling of experiencing it for the first time again and it’s sad. But at the same time it brings me joy to just remember it. Much like the colonials having only memories of their home, I have only memories of the show and reliving them brings me a melancholy joy.
I got the chills, again. And: Every. Single. Time. One of the greatest sequences in one of the best and well-done Sci Fi series ever.
They never explained it (except possibly as "god"), but I always thought that the reason the song "activated" the Five was that they were remembering on some level that Sam had written and played the song for them in their former lives.
Best sifi/spiritual series/ documentary I've ever seen.
So say we all.
The way incorporated music in this series is fantastic. All along the watchtower, brilliant
"Its that frakking song!!"
Rafael Santos it’s in the fraking ship
And that moment- when she realizes it’s her father, when he just simply smiles in a way that says I love you so very much, I’m so proud of you-so much said in just a smile, just heartbreaking.
Best TV show of all time...simle cannot replicate the atmosphere it creted let alone the acting, soundtrack and script.
That scene is what made me realize that I trully love the show. Simply breathtaking! 🔥
deepest way to describe a synchronicity in a mainstream show. this is a legendary tv show!
Please do a moment about when the two cavils are “spaced” in “The Plan”
Not going to lie, I liked the Cavils.
Fod Xp yeah they were my favorite Ceylon model
This music is so powerful and passionate on what needs to b played for her to save mankind. The emotions and actions taking place of everyon just play d out perfectly to this music. All of them realizing they r the makers, the parents of the cyclones and the new ones is just heart beating which skips to each higher tone. Magical. ❤️☺️
what a lovely song
Just rewatched the whole series (In about a week :D) cannot believe that I forgot this scene, the way it just leads into all along the watch tower is seamless and beautiful. This is my favourite sci fi series on reflection. So well done.
Great video.
Do you think you could do a viedo for when Adama told his crew about the attack by the cylons as one of my favorite lines is 'As of this moment we are at war.
14kaliem All of his lines are so good 👍🏻. Underrated performance by EJO.
Husker42c your right all of his lines are great.
My favorite lime to quote is when saul says, "in in the ship! It's in the fraking ship! "

I just finished the series and i am crying
One of the best written shows of television, and I fracking mean it!
That thing when you put Bear McCreary’s genius score together with All Along The Watchtower INTO THE PLOT and expect people to go along with it.
Well, I go along with it. This is incredible.
Dylan once said that his songs where always there, waiting to be discovered.
@@dirdib69 "All this has happened before..."
One of the best scene ever in all films I have ever watched
Even though I don't remember a single thing about the series (I had watched all of it 10 years ago) I perfectly remember this song. Frak.
My favorite Sci Fi of all time!
It's in the fracking ship!!!
Just gives me the chills.
bsg did do many things right, one that it especially did, was music, bear you did a ingenius job on it, just mesmerizing
I love Saul's reaction here. Just like the rest of the series, slightly annoyed bewilderment.
this music give goosebumps and restlessness
Always get the chills when this scene on 👏
