There is a segment near the end where the video will jump cut randomly. This is because KZfaq is being an absolute chode gargaling box of brick humping apes. I put in several still images from the battlestar galactica television series. About 12 of them to highlight a 5 minute sceen. It was apparetly flagged for copyright and made the video ineligable to view in north america. I apologise for this and the massive dip in quality at the end of the video but i didnt want to put this off for another day after there were already issues with making it over the last week. Hopefully this wont happen again. Maybe. It will youtube sucks sometimes. Thanks for anyone who watches till the end anyways.

The Adama Maneuver is probably the most unique and intense 5 minutes of sci fi warship action ever. Mad lads just jumped straight into a planet's atmosphere...

One of the things that I have always liked about sci-fi "universes" like Battlestar Galactica, Battletech, and Dune is that, at their core, humans are their own worst enemies. Hubris, sociatal insanity, arrogance and some twisted manifest destiny. No need for aliens, evil or otherwise. Just humanity making a hot mess of things, and almost always running a foul of their own creations.

the thing is a battlestar's point defense screen IS an energy shield, it's a kinetic energy shield.

As a cylon, I appreciate the effort you put into the audiowave subtitles

I just discovered this channel and I’ve been randomly hoping thru videos and they’re all really fun. It feels like when i try and explain my most recent science fiction obsession to my friends.

Fucking love BSG. If you haven't played Deadlock, you should definitely check it out

Love this and the one about Pegasus. Hope to see more about ships from both factions. Currently building up my fleet of Moebius made scale models where I put even more guns on the Mercury classic to where I’ve classified them as their own block series of the Mercury lineage

Just want to put a correction in here the hybrids were not involved with Gaius Baltar except later on in the season, the hybrids are the cylon‘s that actually flew the bass stars. And the hybrids were actually created by the cylon‘s from the 12 colonies. The six that persuaded and infiltrated Gaius Baltar was a production of the final five and the cylon’s that fled the 12 colonies. So you got yourself a little mixed up there.

Okay I just stumbled across your channel and after watching a number of your vids, I’ve gotta say this is one of the ABSOLUTE FUCKING BEST deep dives into BSG lore. I was laughing my ass off listening to it. And yes I shilled your channel to our local Battletech Group. 🤘🏻😎👌🏻

Cool vid. Nice banter, mood, energy.

Great content thanks I really enjoy it

My Opinion on the whole Kobol thing: As far as we know, the humans on Kobol did not invent mechanic Cylons, at least, we didnt hear a thing about that. Instead, we heard about a war between humans and gods. So in my Opinion, on Kobol there were of course no gods, but the humans who lived there, invented a solution for immortality - the download technology from battlestar galactica. And of course, the human "cylons" from the series, are not machines. They have nothing in comparison with a cybernetic life form. They are basically cloned humans. Nothing more. Like the ones who lived on kobol in fled to the first earth (13th colony). I also remember a scene from Caprica, it was a tv commercial from the greystone company, where they introduced the possibility to bring back dead relatives. But they said, that it is in the working process. And I'm thinking now, that the exact same thing happened on Kobol. The Reason why the "cloned Humans" was called "Cylons" in the BSG Series, was that, they came from the mechanical cylons. I think the graystone company never finished this technology before the destruction of the colonies, so of course the humans on the colones thought, that the clones humans are cylons. I remember the Movie "Selfless" with Ryan Raynolds. I think, this Movie explains it very well. Sorry for my bad englich, i am austrian, living in Vienma 😅

Caprice was a good B tier tv show. Sad it did not get another season.

Gentlemen BEHOLD!!!!! Steve!!!

It would be cool that the CYLN would recover the original program and put her in a CYLN body and set her as the Queen or Goddess for creating the final version.

bro in starwars they dont just move fast they travel into another demention like in 40K but they still have to worry about crashing into stuff in star wars because everything in the alternate dimension has an effect and presence in the real universe.

What’s terrifying is having all those emotions and full human consciousness trapped inside a computer with no body. That’s the terrifying part. Honestly get rid of all that so I wouldn’t be trapped in a nightmare with my emotions in tact.

Baylon 5 had a whitestar jump into mars atmosphere to destroy a ground installation. Earlier, shadoww vessels froliced around mars and terrorized the local peasantry.

Opening quote was actually from Lee btw.

Base ship. Base SHIP. Sat it with me. ;)

Hey, would you guys be willing to do a video on the Heavy Cylon Raider? It seems like a super important yet under appreciated workhorse for the cylons, then the cylon rebels, and finally the centurions. By the end of the series it’s probably the last small transport/assault/gunship vessel type in existence.

I think what saddened me about the whole show is it seemed NO ONE actually stopped and thanked William Adams for I don't know? Saving the last humans (And rebel Cylons) of the 12 Colonies? The brief scenes we saw of him at the end were a man who lost everything to save everything. His son, the woman he loved, and his beloved Galactica.

Here's your moment of existential terror: It is possible to crash any Windows computer in existence by typing the characters %0|%0 into the command line. This is your basic "Forkbomb" and it still works 30 years after it was discovered. Relatedly: the guided missile destroyer USS Vincennes once experienced total engine and navigation failure because someone in the CIC accidentally tried to divide by zero on an inventory spreadsheet. For those who think a civilization smart enough to invent cylons would not be stupid enough to get hacked by their own creations: a cautionary tale.

Galactica has energy shields! *cough* Kinetic!

Only a few things I disagree with, I highly doubt that the gunners on board Galactica's main batteries were eyeballing the target, I mean the Battlestars have the dradis system, so I am pretty sure that they would utilise that to get a firing solution, its not advanced as autofire systems we see in the Pegasus, but its definitely not the eyeball. Secondly, I am not sure where the information of the Cylons not keeping up with production comes along, because I don't think that is an issue until late was with the Ghost fleet offensive, and from what its hinted at, prior to that, the colonial fleet is struggling to keep things together, the fact that no FTL raptor was available for the mission Adama goes on, and we can see the Valkyrie in it, which while not directly pointing out that the colonials are struggling, the design of the ship has what appears to be an exposed bottom end and the ship is smaller than the Jupiters, with it suggesting that the colonials having to focus build smaller ships and cut corners in designs to get more Battlestars.

30:30 that jab at Ace Combat

Wasn't Picon also space spartan. I was why the headquarters of the Colonial Navy and Colonial Marines are stationed on the planet.

They should have abandoned the 12 colony mindset and created a system based on the fleet because that’s what they were now. The captains of the ships should have been on the quorum not the names of the colonies because those were gone. Most ships had a mix of people onboard. That would have represented everyone better. The captains word on each ship should have been law.

Ships can have computer systems to control its various equipment without being hackable. A closed computer system can not be hacked. For example, if you design the ship with fire control system where the computers are linked together with physical medium (wire/cable/fiber/etc - PM) and these are also linked to the weapons and radar/ladar/etc with PM. None of these systems have any connection to external communications/Wi-Fi/radio/etc then there is no way for it to be hacked. You have no physical access to the system from outside so there is no way to get in. It's like if you have a PC but have no Wi-Fi or internet hookups attached to the PCs hardware, you can not use the internet with it, but nothing on the internet can access it to effect or corrupt it. Before anyone suggests it, no you can not hack through the radar/ladar signal. That system is not receiving communications, Active systems simply search for the exact signal it sent out and ignore all others while passive systems are just looking to locate any signal but do not read or decipher the signals themselves, only note their presence. When considering the scale of space battles, it is impossible to carry enough point defense to fill the volume around a ship with that defense of a flak screen. There is just too much space to cover. Larger ships may have more flak, but they also have to cover more volume Gaius was the actual first name of Caesar, Gaius Julius Caesar.

can anyone link the sources please for all the 12 colony history information? I've never heard any of these details before and I guess I've missed out on some documented lore

Go! combine!

20:07 Unironically yes one of the three cylon il units lachisis Is literally quoted as saying" Gods will be done by my sword"

Great video! I dislike the lack of realism of the "supply line" to feed the monumental need of ammo that BSG spits any given minute. You just can't "make" that much without a gigantic military industrial complex behind. And the BSG is fully ballistic, despite the nukes that have, is just raining lead into the enemy

27:16 in the first cylon war they absolutely did It is directly stated that if one of them dies they're dead, there is no uploading, no backup. Once a cylon dies they are dead to quote clothos" Death is death for all of god's children" The closest they ever got to cheating. It is to create a reversion of themselves

Rig the algorithm!

wish thay had a game simler to startrekonline but bassed inthe battlestar galactica universe

Cylon BaseStars look like a Yoyo.

Bfw the old basestars could hover over cities ss well

In the reimagined series, they state that “they were pursued by the blades”, and that before they left cobalt, they sacrificed the leaders of each colony, for bringing them to ruin. They then all boarded the great ship and headed to where they would rebuild the 12, and the 13th left in the opposite direction. That tells me the war destroyed cobalt, possibly a poisoning of the well by the 13th, on their way out…

Steve! :)

"That is an energy shield." I mean, he's not wrong. It's a kinetic energy shield.

So... Where does the bit about the "head researcher"'s daughter and wife dying in a terrorist attack comes from? Cause thats not what happened in Caprica. Has it been retconned?

when you skip over the fact that picon is the home of colonial fleet HQ Picon: hey Give a little credit to picon

Hey, where do you get the lore for this? Series and novels?

In fact, not only would Cylons ships not need an atmosphere but it would be a disadvantage to them. Ship get hulled by a kinetic penetrator? No problem, or at least no problems from explosive decompression. Colonial Marines attempting to board? They have to wear clunky pressure suits, and any tear in one of those is a bad deal, at minimum that marine would be combat ineffective. Not to mention lessened mass, which also ties into the cylons being able to handle much higher g-forces in maneuvers. There is no way that if BSG were real life, the Colonials would stand a chance

Generic greetings!

As much as I love BSG Reimagined I'd love a reboot of BSG in a style closer to the original. We have enough dark and gritty I want hopeful and aspirational.

Does the video stop mid sentence? 😮

30:56 There's also the fact that They kind of lack the ability to innovate, at least not in the way human beings can. Interacthey can iterate on past human designs? But they can't really create their own new shit at least not easily

There's a bit cut off at the end...

It kind of dawned on me after watching the matrix after my 135537474586885437868th re watch of bsg that the matrix’s real world seems eerily similar to a loop of bsg that never saw humanity never leaving earth. Idk random shower thought

Wasn't it Lee Adama that made that intro statement?

So say we all

Got some bad skips in this video, misses out on the new caprica rescue ftl jump

Query: does this unity have a soul?

Sacrificing the ship like that in the position they were in, Lee should've been shot. This is on the Admiral's shoulder, he should not have put Lee in command in the first place. He proved it before that he cant think in a pragmatic way he is way too emotional, it was obvious that he will not leave his old man and his comrades behind to die. Admiral Adama knew he might not make it. He knew that to give the biggest chance for the fleet to survive they will need the Pegasus. It can train pilots, manufacture ammunition and small craft as well, a much more modern Battlestar equipped with better weaponry with a really powerful forward battery. Lee didnt even try to fight that battle. The Cylons had 4 ships, the Galactica had a chance against two, Pegasus could easily take the other two. He should've maneuver the ship to assist Galactica and together focus fire down the Basestars or just hold them off as long as the Galactica is able to jump away. We've seen the Pegasus fighting a minimum of 3 ( thats how much you can see on the DRADIS screen ) possibly 4 Basestars + their Raiders in the episode when Garner is the commander and Lee takes command of the Pegasus for the first time ( Season 2, Episode 17 "The Captain's Hand ). If he tried they might take some damage but both ship would've survived giving them a much better chance for survival. They are not in the position to sacrifice their most valuable ship without even trying to fight. Stupid decision he shouldve been shot or court-martiialed at the very minimum. But his dad is his CO so that didnt happen. All that being said its an outstanding fight scene and I love every second of that episode. On the other hand having been watched this show over 10 times I understand why they got rid of the Pegasus in light of what happens in the story later the Colonials would've been too strong.

I'm... mildly disappointed that you didn't turn the recitation of the Colonies into a song.

propeller interrupter gear...

Great video, but your quote is actually made by Lee Adama. Sorry to be so nerdy

22:20 A less beautiful images the fact that's cylons Nurses Literally crushed infants with their bare hands

"Toasters" is a racist term...technically "speciesist" I guess.

Again they're wrong the final five did not help them build the hybrids the cylons built the hybrids on their own but they couldn't make any human forms that would live on their own so the final five told him stop the war with mankind will teach you how to build human forms and give you resurrection

Tons of mistakes... and inferences that I have no idea where you pulled from since they aren't in canon

And your story, within its universe?, how well written is it...who are you?, nobody.

Using every ounce of that sixth grade education… BWAHAHAHAHA!

Do these guys get paid by the number of words they speak?

Star Wars isn't sci-fi, it's fantasy with a coat of sci-fi paint.

Not astrology. Greek myth, constellations.

Apparently they don't know as much as they claim the red line is a marker of known space when near the colonies this is y it's not mentioned again after miniseries movie but after dat it would b as far as the ships telescopes can see jumping past that u have no guarantees the Galactica has a jump radius of 5 light years beyond that u might decentagrate or u might make it crap shoot which is y gata an Tom spark a muntiny cuz Adams wants jump drive tech from da cylons cuz they have a 15-30 light years jumps an it takes cylons themselves to upgrade them an colonial ppl dont trust dat also though the atmosphere seen was amazing to watch it's not that impressive compared to the shockwave of a supernova that almost hit the ship before it away but we should have known right off the rip when this guy called his friend stupid because he didn't know the format for recording this episode when they had no format put together in advance these guys seem like two jerks to be honest and it doesn't say that it's a portal or it's a tunneling through to another universe that's actually Stargate that does that they tap into what's called subspace the space between two realities two universes and drill through transport because the laws of physics there do not apply anymore and they punch back out he did get Star Trek right of course cuz it's a mess that everybody knows that that is a warp field around the ship and then other shows use wormholesnow don't get me wrong I appreciate guys making these types of videos I love to make them I just don't have the time nor am I willing to waste the thousands of dollars for the right equipment you know like a microphone lighting or just crazy computer it takes to get this kind of work done and it appropriate time but if you're going to do it do it right and if you're not going to do it right then just forget it get your subject material right before you do it or just admit that you don't honestly know and this is what you think is going on

Too much wrong information for an upvote.

I mean come on guys it's like you didn't even watch the miniseries movie it's like you didn't even watch the last six episodes because a big bulk of what you're talking about the last couple episodes go over in depth and give that's what makes him so slow as they're getting you caught up on what happened why they try to tie everything together even Ronaldo more admits and some interviews that he wish he is glad he didn't have a set plan to go through the whole thing but at times he wishes he did so he wouldn't have to have used a bulk of the last 10 episodes to tie everything together which he was not able to do there are several questions let go unanswered in several things that don't really tie in very well like boltar knowing since season 1 that Ellen one of the final five was a cylon which he found out through his cylon detector which did work and we know that because in the first season he test Boomer and she comes up red as a cylon which means a few episodes later when Ellen shows up she is tested and of course he tells everyone know she is not a cylon which is BS because we know she is so he know he got theresults he also tells six that's in his head I'll never tell what the results really were
