My favorite part of that episode is Apollo's voice cracking when he sees the tunnel, "I'm... I'm going through it!" Can really feel the panic he's fighting back.
and when he sees the conveyor: "oh...don't do this lee", because he knows he is too hot headed to not do it
Yeah. Really sympathetic character, and good performance from Bamber.
14 and a half years.
That's when this episode first played, at least for those of us watching on Sci-Fi.
And to this day, I still remember how I was almost literally on the edge of my sofa watching this, and holding my breath as Apollo flew through the trench.
When he popped out practically on the doorstep of the mining facility, located his target, and dumb-dropped them on timers to fly away, I waited.
Then, that glorious explosion, and the first few notes of 'Wander My Friends'.
All those memories came back watching this.
BTW, if you're reading this and haven't yet found the video with the translation from Gaelic/Irish to English of 'Wander My Friends', do yourself a favor; find it and watch it.
The lyrics will hit even harder.
Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta wipe my eyes.
This channel is telling me that I should watch BSG.
The first few seasons are frakin' amazing, they start to get very fuzzy after that but still good.
You shouldn't need to be told.
It's one of the finest television shows ever. You won't be disappointed.
@@jaredloveless I actually disagree but I respect your opinion! To me the first few seasons are more accessible, the episodes more enjoyable as standalones and easier to digest (although still very gritty).
For me the final 2 seasons represent a change of pace but still a staggeringly brilliant show, for me it's actually the last couple of seasons that elevate Battlestar to my favourite TV show of all time.
It's much more about the mystery of cosmic forces at play, a questioning of spirituality, a comment and reflection of how time and age affect us all, the ones we love and even the things we love (Galactica) and how precious the gift of life is. It also creates really fascinating questions of how friendships and allys can shift and how it's possible to be an outcast within your own people (Cylon Civil War) especially when a religion or spirituality is involved. The reveal of how the cylons came into being and the explanation of who the final 5 cylons are is one of the best reveals/story conclusions in Sci fi history to me, it all joins together so beautifully and there is a confirmation of a spiritual/cosmic element all along with the storyline of Kara Thrace. The ending is the most satisfying and fulfilling of any show I've ever watched.
I dunno man I can't even put into words how brilliant the final couple of series were I think they are actually more standout than the first two, though I'll admit the early series are easier to digest and more fun! I finished my 4th watch-through of BSG a couple of months ago and I was just blown away by what an enjoyable and genuinely reflective experience it was for me.
So yeah I get where you're coming from, respect your opinion, but to me it's perfect! My favourite show of all time hands down.
yeah you should
I wasn't expecting it to be so detailed. Excellent job dude.
I’m so glad you’re doing more BSG. I fracking love this show
So say we all
I loved this battle, probably one of the best parts of the earliest seasons of the series. Makes me wish I owned the series in hard copy since Netflix took them off the air.
My other favorite was Ragnar station, but it's not that complex of a battle.
I apparently need to buy some movies
I know your post is several years old, but just wanted to post that I’ve recently started rewatching the series, starting with the mini-series, on the Peacock network. You can watch it with commercials for free, or ad free for something like $10 a month
This was great! It was like watching a WW2 commentary about the Battle of Midway on the History Channel.
Just a small clarification of the note at the end there:
The only requests for Battlescape episodes that will be considered are those provided by Patreon supporters. If you have pledged to support Spacedock on Patreon for any amount, you may post your requests on the Patreon feed. Battlescape will at first not upload nearly as often as regular Spacedock, so it may take a while for your request to be reached, but I will do everything in my power to make sure it is fulfilled.
I apologize for having to block off Battlescape requests to non-patrons, this is mainly due to the fact that it takes me several weeks to finish an episode of Battlescape, and the main Spacedock show has to be prioritized. I simply would not be able to respond to a request list as massive as the list for the main Spacedock series with this longer production time.
I'm sorry if this has led to non-patrons feeling excluded from the new series, but please rest assured that your requests for standard Spacedock episodes will continue to be read and considered.
Thank you.
As a non-supporter (sorry, but I can't) I can fully understand that decision. No worries! :D
+That Guy the should do the first engagement in the battle of sigmus Octanus 4. The engagement where commander Jacob Keyes preformed the 'Keyes loop' destroying a covenant destroyer and 2 frigates, forcing the last ship, a carrier to retreat
Please make it happen space dock as it wouldn't take too long as all the information is detailed between chapters 16 and 18 in the book halo: the fall of reach
More than fair to your Patreon supporters! (Non supporter here!), thanks for the clarification!
Aww! Well, that's fair.
Ahhhhhh season one. Some of the most fantastic sci-fi ever made.
This is easily among my favorite single-episodes of science fiction ever. Thanks for the summation!
I always loved what Adama said before the battle. About how if you run from a bully, he keeps chasing you. But if you turn around and give him a good hit in the jaw, he has to stop and reconsider.
I've watched that battle at least a hundred times and I love the amount of detail you went into
sad thing is in the long run the destruction of the 140 cylon raiders is immaterial since they are "resurrectable" whereas the human pilots lost are gone forever
Isn't the resurrection only applicable to the human-model Cylons?
no in the "Scar" episode Athena told Starbuck that even the raiders are resurrectable
They indeed resurrect fallen raiders, it can be of use their battle experience and in the case colonials try a similar tactics they can counter attack
But it still cost them resources to build new 'bodies' for them. Dead Cylon is a good Cylon.
@@odisseusrh Scar was spooky. Raider that had died so many times it had a real grudge against colonials.
Like a wraith.
Fantastic job! I don't even watch Galactica, but everything was clearly presented, and my jaw even dropped a little at the reveal of Strike Two. I enjoyed this, and I can't wait for your next installment in this series!
This was a brilliant start to a new series, great job!
Really enjoyed this video thank for for this. Keep 'em rolling. ;)
Very awesome brackdown of the battle. I loved watching this! Thank you :)
Professionally done, I can't wait for more!
very well done. This kicks butt.
this is one of my favorite episodes because its just genius planning
Great deal of effort put in to this, Great job! Keep up the good work!
Appreciate your vids on these & other topics. Great job!
Awesome and very detailed video! Looking forward to the next ones!
THIS IS SO AWESOME! Keep up the good work!
Do more of these please! This was amazing.
Spacedock I have never seen a episode of Battlestar Galactica in my life. But this video was a great look into the universe of this Sci Fi classic. I hope this is a harbinger of what is to come from you and your contemporaries.
WOW! This was VERY well done!! Good work, entirely professional!
Awesome Episode. Such a great show that will live forever!
I love your new series, keep up the good work!
Nice , this was awesome, hope to see more of these in the future.
Most notably the events of Exodus in BSG and The Battle of Citadel in Mass Effect.
Well done, cant wait for more
You explain the space battle very clearly
excellent review of this battle
very nice work. Looking forward to seeing more.
Please make more of these. They are awesome!
Fantastic episode. Good analysis.
Chiming in here.. I just LOVE your review style and game like personality.
So good keep up the amazing work!
More analysis of tactics and strategies please! This was great but I would love to see more detailed breakdown at the end to break down the initial strategy vs. the final outcome and how both sides reacted to changes along the way. Thanks!
love the videos and channel. more battlescape videos please!
This episode had some brilliant strategy in it!!
Great explanation of the battle
great job, man.
Love this new series!
such incredible detail thanks
Really enjoyed this.
Whoa, flashback with the use of the Star Trek: Legacy theme at the beginning.
Thanks! I was wondering where I knew that from. 😀
Not bad at all, nicely detailed and concise. Great job keep it up..
nice work love the new intro
Fun watching this only just having seen the episode for the first time a week ago
Nice brutha. Good work.
Great job!
"...colonials outnumbered 5 to 1..." Well yes, but I think a Jupiter class battlestar should be considered worth more than a few fighters. But an awesome and detailed video, loved it.
Yes, a few hundred raiders against a Battlestar is not a fair fight.....for the raiders.
@@Pwnstared I mean, most other vessels would be fracked, but a battlestar has so much flak they don't even need to aim to stop most missile strikes, they just make a massive field of shrapnel and explosions and call it a day.
@@megan00b8 The downside of the battlestar is to put up this flak field, they have to sacrifice almost all their offensive capability.
@@Debbiebabe69 Not necessarily, the Jupiter class battlestar has multiple sets of weaponry that can be split up into two main groups: broadside flak batteries and topside heavy artillery. While the heavy artillery can give a nice boost to the flak field when using proper munitions the smaller batteries can keep it pretty solid as well. The field can be also somewhat directed as the flak batteries (quite obviously) have a wide firing angle, and so it can be concentrated more to provide better protection against single opponent or spread wider if the attackers come from multiple directions. And while the flak guns hurt small vessels quite badly, you're not really giving up much firepower if you use only the main artillery against something with better armour like basestars.
Wow, awesome video! Is there more of these types of videos?
These are awesome!!!
Awesome job :) Is there a love button? God I miss this show...
Can't hit LIKE enough on this.
Good recap!
After rewatching this episode of Spacedock, I realized I would love to see a more detailed aftermath from the Cylon perspective.
well done
Good stuff!
this is awesome... how about the Battle of Sluis Van?
just watched this episode a couple days ago. my god is this show good. I saw him go down the conveyor and thought only he can pull it off
You know during that scene I wouldn't be surprised to have Apollo mentally going, "Okay Time to pull a starbuck!" Because that is totally something she would do!
Where did you come up with that map of where Galactica and the ships went and their location from Sol? That is nice.
That was very cool
Great storytelling!
Excellent. I feel like I want to the The Colonial Pilot program.
The end part made me feel like I was playing Star wars Empire at war, hahahaha.
I felt the same!
Hey man How you doing Could you please make a video about the Munificent-class star frigate thanks man
What is the last spaceship (not of BSG) that is firing during the opening sequence?
You should do a video on the Hiigaran Mothership from Homeworld, if there's enough information :P
Awesome
Please explain what does it mean to "engage at a FAR CLOSER range"
Is that something like being a small big thing or being dead alive?
Could you do a battle report on the battle of the ion nebula from Battlestar Galactica
best episode in the BSG series.
Nice
This was a great scene in BSG.
yeeeeessssss do moooooorrrrrrrreeeee
I'm going to request that you do every Battlestar Galactica battle
could you put a link to the episode in the chat or description?
Kobol was 12,000 light years from Sol ?
Is that accurate ?
Given the nature of their jump drives, Sol could be 12 or 12,000,000 light years from Kobol and it would take the same amount of time to get there. The trick is knowing where it is and accounting for stellar drift and the differences in stellar velocities. (It's possible that after 150,000 years, Kobol is now at the other end of the Milkyway)
Love the Star Trek Legacy music
Honestly was so confused how Hotdog was a Lt. JrG. at basically his first major engagement. Realized that this is still a TV show and therefore that named secondary characters have to be given positions so their character is actually remembered.
I think all pilots are officers automatically in bsg. So for a pilot its likely a low rank.
Cylon Strategy is based on electronic Warfare disableling ennemy systems and surbmerging the enemy in count. This is why the Cylon Bases are mostly equiped with missiles while Colonials Battlestars have missiles, guns and Flaks. This is a "Computer thinking".
Colonials have the adaptability and creative thinking. So with not so much they can out smart the opponent. This battle is one exemple... But the first one making the run possible is another, the Cylon colony battle is a great exemple of bold move but the very most clever, courageous and Outstanding one is the New Caprica Battle with the "Adama move". Jumping Right in the atmospher, launch vipers then rejump out.
What is the name of that song??? I know it, and I can't place why...
What's the intro music from? It sounds SO familiar.
Star Trek Legacy - Main Theme
You are welcome :)
nice it remind me of show called battle flied nice
Hello Spacedock!
I am a huge fan of Babylon 5, and was wondering if you could do one of these "Batlescape" episodes for the fight seen in the episode "severed dreams". In my eyes one of the if not the single best episode of the series.
Cheers!
Sorry I did not see your note there. Still, you have created an awesome channel with very original content. I hope you get the support you deserve!
Go patreon!
which BSG series is this?
A fighter strike following a interception mission running through a tunnel, with a following mop up? Sounds like a number of Ace Combat missions
Its like he got some sort of repor from Adama
Do you mean rapport?
Report? Yeah all of these Spacedock episodes sound like what I imagine military breifing/debreifings sound like.
Why wasn’t this series continued
This was also in the original series
I fuckin love you
very cool can you do the battle pf Wolf 359 next?
Not a lot of analysis on that one beyond, The Federation Got Mercilessly Slaughtered
the length of any video describing the battle would be longer than the battle itself
The Saratoga, a refitted Miranda, charges in phasers blazing.
An Excelsior, said to be the Melbourne in a video game, is slightly ahead and is destroyed by a combination of tractor beam and cutting beam.
Saratoga is locked in a tractor beam.
A Nebula and Ambassador charge in with phasers.
Saratoga suffers critical damage to its lower saucer from a cutting beam and issues an evacuation.
An Oberth is destroyed near the Saratoga by a pulse weapon.
Saratoga is destroyed by a cutting beam miraculously only after a full evacuation.
Further data is missing but likely that remaining fleet including the Tolstoy and Kyushu were easily destroyed as well.
Reports from the Voyager inform that survivors were assimilated.
This opening soundtrack is Star Trek?
You know, this is not a bad format. On occasion. I wouldn't want to live on it.
I loved the episode, it was gripping and with great action, but on second viewing I had to come away thinking they really overthought the tactics here. With no Basestar support the raiders on their own were no real match for the Galactica and it's Vipers. The Galactica could have just jumped into range of the asteroid, launched it's Vipers and totally overwhelmed the Raiders in short order and then taken it's time at the refinery, lol. Of course that would have made a less exciting episode ;)
still good
go BSG u are the best
