It's the greatest space series ever created. It's so well writen nothing of the genera can come even close to battlestar galactica's level

@@joaquinvigara1356perhaps the greatest series period

The expanse may be at the same level. But this show.... Breath taking!

SSWA

@@dickwans I have a problem with the Expanse in that, I never really got as 'connected' to the characters as with Firefly, BSG, Star Gate. It tried to get depth but still really hasn't imho.

@@krosse9692 Hi after you comment I habd to ash myself which character in the expanse made me love it and the first that pops out of my head are Chrisjen Avasarala and Josephus Miller. After those two I have Anderson Dawes (because of what he did in Fringe) and Fred Johnson (because of the wire) And now I blame you for the fact that I'm watching the Expanse and BSG again so yeah thank you for that 🙂

Came here for love of BSG and to say the EXACT same thing!

no she deserves far better than to have her powers stolen by Rogue...Brie Larson on the other hand take them gloves off girl(Rogue)! lolol

OMG, that was in the comics....the MCU is a lot different.

Agreed!

Don't drag Katee into this. NOTHING can save the mcu now. Lol

it's14 years old

I'd agree for the original BSG. The 2004 version not so much.

yes and even that show was better than 2004 Battlestar!! @trha2222

You're right on!! Original BSG was groundbreaking, hopeful, funny, exciting and awesome. 2004 BSG was a brooding, boring, space soap opera with no hopefulness, not funny, and most of the male characters from original BSG were changed into women!! Yah, what can you say it JUST SUCKS!! @@HariSeldon913

Jeff Bridges would have been interesting. The Dude.

It was his story really.

@@mullcrumthesage6303 I disagree. This story has many stories within them. Look at the story arc of Tigh, what he goes through. The madness of Galen and the amount of times he was simply put, disgarded or shat on. There is Kara who had a journey of understanding her destiny and not being forgotten. There was Bill who did what any military leader should, he took charge and tried to keep the men and women intact for the journey while also developing ties with his son, daughter in law - and his to be wife, had she not died. Boomer went from human, to sleeper agent, to cylon who wanted to forget who she was previously, back to her Adama promise. Hera, with parents. There is obviously also the story of Baltar and Caprica 6, but at the end of the day, this show really does not just follow A story. It follows 20 sum people in their daily story during a purge event such as the flood in the bible. Personally, I'd like to think that the story starts and stops with Galactica. Everyone else was just a guest, along for the ride. God damnit, I love this show. Just now 1h ago finished watching it again with my girlfriend, whom also enjoyed it. Now I just know I gotta give it 10 another years for another watch, so some emotions can build up anew. Like hearing that first "Ongoing cylon attack" where Tigh thinks they're busting Adamas balls.

top 5 moment, for sure, the best part of the finale

very similiar and great scene was in Magicians when Elliot admit he's coming from farmers family and he knows what to do :D

I loved that scene... How much he hated that he was from "farming" planet his whole life, changing his way of speech just to sound elegant and not "lowlife" farmer... Also, I think he fell in love with Caprica when she found retirement home with a garden for his father. That moment when he understood that him being a farmer and know how to do it is what will really help him and Caprica... Not all that science with which he wiggled his way out of danger

Yeah. He would take that bunch of 12 warriors and would simply walk into Mordor

Nah he drops in with the Adama Manuever

He slams Galactica down on the atmosphere above Mordor.....

I need to see this crossover

@@ThomasWilliamMusic Got the whole box set habibi; it's the only reason I kept the DVD player lol.

horrible CGI, shaking cameras and everyone mumbling in the dark. terrible. The Original 78 BSG was so perfect.

I like the original, but the reboot was significantly better.

Facts

Kurgath, that's an understandable exaggeration, the entire frontline cast was outstanding! Balter role was played to perfection thru a challenging character arc.

The reason he was so good is.....Of all villains of all time, on anything anywhere...I'be hated no one more than I hated Baltar, I wanted to personally kill him (the character) so many times it wasn't even funny..lmao-

@@HorrorMetalMaestroRedrusty66 He was one seriously mixed up unit! After Lee candidly told him what a total POS he was, Baltar got it together and achieved redemption. Most of the time he was easy to hate and had alot of close encounters with extermination!

What's even more impressive is that he basically seems to have crafted the character himself.

Ger Tar I 100% agree. They are apples and oranges.

Nothing against Starbuck, but I found the _Ghostbusters_ remake absolutely frickin' hilarious.

"Objectively bad" suggests it's not just your opinion (since opinion is _subjective_ ). If that's what you mean, then I would be curious to know the *objective* basis for your assessment. Because *both* of the usual parameters for _objectively_ assessing films (critical reception and box office receipts) mark _Ghostbusters 2016_ as much better than a "bad" film: it gets a 74% on Rotten Tomatoes and it made a profit of $85 million. You may not agree that those objective parameters form an accurate picture of the film's quality -- and that's your right -- but we call that an _opinion_ . And an opinion, by definition, is *subjective* , not objective. Cheers friend!

The thing is a woman as Starbuck wasn't a feminist move, it was just a way not to keep the old formula and a female was cast and it worked fine because it wasn't done just to be a waman moment.

If Tricia Helfer had been 5'7 and weighed 215 pounds you'd never have noticed her acting ability.

I think this was her first major part as well, had done acting before but not on this scale. People who haven't watched the show and see her could well think she was there for 'eye candy' which is a shame as the character went way past that.

@@johnroscoe2406 I think someone's projecting.

I did. Never watched this for 10 years, hence I've forgotton many of the episodes and storylines. Will be enjoying "33" later today courtesy my recently bought BSG Blu Ray complete collection. LOL

Just keep ordering the $5 fillup from kfc..you’ll regress

I first watched the series when I was ten years old. My first rewatched was completed two days ago at the age of 17... I'd forgotten a lot of stuff and I finally understood the deeper themes. The finale was great.

@REAL TRUTH jesus dude...

@REAL TRUTH something is deeply wrong with you... On topic, he did an awesome job on bs:g, showed so many aspects of his acting talent. He should be a big star indeed

I believe James takes smaller and less roles because he has some pretty big things he is working on outside acting. I love him.

So say we all.

Yes, but the MK V11 Vipers were more easily hacked thanked to Gaius Baltar! Notice that much of the Pegus' vipers were unaffected. They mentioned that newer vipers that were pre-upgrade or in overhaul were spared. I think they also mention that when they realized what happened, they modified the systems on the newer vipers. thanks to Baltar, 6 used spearing and being provided direct access. Then Baltar gave Gina nuke, destroyed at least 1 ship, and helped the Cylons find them.

BSG was the success that prompted the failure of Stargate Universe. You could tell SGU was trying to copy BSG but it never really got there. BSG broke a lot of the old rules and was willing to "go there" when any other series at the time would have stopped. One of the most real and visceral moments for me was when the Cylons had some kind of virus killing them so they sent Baltar (human) to investigate a base ship comprised of Model 6 Cylons. And then that Model 6 was screaming at Baltar, blaming him for everything. So very gut-wrenching. I'd say the single most gut-wrenching moment was in the pilot movie. President Roslin had just visited with a little girl on an agricultural ship. Then they got the warning that the Cylons were coming back. Not all the ships had FTL and Roslin made the impossible decision to jump away, leaving the non-FTL ships to their doom. They were radioing in things like, "I hope you burn in hell!" The final twist of the knife was when she was informed that the little girl she had spoken with earlier was on a ship with no FTL. She was killed along with the rest of the crew. They didn't have to go there, as it was already bad enough. But they went there. So painful to watch, but so realistic and brutally honest. Enough character motivation right there to drive her forward to be the leader she was.

I liked the early focus on the pilots, though of course everyone else in the Fleet and among the Cylons had great development. Some episodes in Seasons 3 and 4 were a bit slow for me, but they had the function of developing the universe. At the end of the day, I totally agree with your comment. So say we all!

@@protorhinocerator142 That was gut wrenching. It's been 10 years since i first viewed the show and your post made me think just now, Roslin could have taken the little girl and her grandma on another ship. Of course they did not because moving writing always allows sorrow. That show saved my life. James Callis in real life could be Jesus returned. I adored his character and he as a totally decent human being. I love him.

It's happened before, it will happen again.

Yes. I said that above, to go a bit further it save my life.

What is funny is when fans are mad when the actors don't remember certain episodes. I mean do we remember every day at our jobs? I don't think so LOL

@Eric Feldmann : Your comment is exactly like pissing in the wind. Almost pointless, except that you embarrass yourself.

@Eric Feldmann Ok Boomer

@Eric Feldmann Hello...somebody notice me please!!!!!

I disagree. I loved the show, but thought they ended it horribly. Discarding all the technology that would have made sure they survived, to go off and live like and with cavemen, didn't feel like something that a military strategist like the character Adama would do. I know it's a Sci fi show, but they should have tried to make it feel and look plausible.

​@@KRE03051 Wrote an essay to respond to you. I have HUGE issues with the ending too, but the rationalization was, they were trying to end the cycle of war: the more advanced species creates the robots to serve them, the robots rebel. That's what happened at Kobol, that's what happened when the 13th Tribe (of human cylons) created cylons on Earth (not.. our earth), and that's what happened at the 12 colonies. Eternal recurrence. And they also needed a reason why we don't have a bunch of advanced technology from 150,000 years ago. So it was either do what they did, rewrite earth's history to a more plausible ending where they kept medical technology and the stuff they would, y'know keep, or not come to our earth, or come to earth at a different point in time (like 1980 BSG, when brings up a host of problems). TL;DR: They wrote themselves in a corner and while the ending didn't make complete sense, it made more thematic sense while staying true to the existing characters. Although REALLY rough around the edges, I can't really think of a more fitting finale, unfortunately, based on where they were at the end of the third season. At least it was a Helluva lot better then the Game of Thrones finale. Can you BELIEVE GRRM wrote this on his blog? "Battlestar Galactica ends with 'God Did It.' Looks like somebody skipped Writing 101, when you learn that a deus ex machina is a crappy way to end a story...damn it, doesn't anybody know how to write an ending any more?" I know you didn't write the show after Season 4, buddy, but your show had one of the worst endings of all time. I've heard fan fiction endings that were way, way better then what the GOT writers pooped out, but have yet to heard the same for BSG's ending, despite its gaping flaws.

Yes true, but let's not forget Babylon 5 is also one of the best ever. To me nothing compares to thees two that i've seen so far.

@@DerrickBigWalker Babylon 5 started to lose it's way after the third season and the fifth season was just utter shite.

Then there's "The Expanse"...

**Good** Sci-Fi: _Exploring the social implications of technology_ as taught by Asimov, Clarke, and Hienlien which BSG masterfully executed in writing, directing, acting. Now compare to the dumpster fire of _Star Trash: Disaster, Star 'Tard: Picard, Star Wreck: Lower Dreck_ -- fake trek by fake fans who don't have a fracking clue.

Aye the selection at blockbuster was lacklustre, thankfully we still had a little independent rental shop near us so could still get our hands on good old 80's schlock like Critters 2 or Killer Klowns from Outer Space instead of the same mainstream shite that blockbuster peddled.
