I remember him playing a bald teacher in the ghetto.

So jealous...

I must be old, as I remember him from 'Blade Runner', the 1982 film ... Time really does fly by ...

I had the pleasure of meeting them both last November. Got a photo with them.

Guinea54 Most of the actors were nobodies. This show made their careers.

So say we all

@@abbaszaidi8371 SO SAY WE ALL!!!!

Lorne Greene would be proud!

@@burdickd2 He was basically Picard version of Adama.

ADAMA FTW!

So say we all

@GGodHand This is so true!

Or Sisko

Word...

That and they are the ones best suited for the mission. It's potentially a one way trip that needs the best chance to succeed, which means the best personnel. They are the least likely to crack under pressure and are also the ones less likely to leave anyone or anything behind if they don't come back

Because it consists of the moments after he became "Admiral".

@ Ok... then... Wait, why isn't the whole second half of the series here?

.......and they should lol

There’s a bit of a WW2 analogy there. By late ‘43 and early ‘44 the US Essex Class Carriers were starting to appear. Bigger, faster, more modern, and more powerful than what had come before. But the Japanese still worried more about the USS Enterprise, the last of the Yorktown Class. Sometimes known as the a Gray Ghost for her seeming ability to show up anywhere, at anytime, unexpectedly and ruin their day. Even as it was surpassed by newer more capable ships, it still held some (justifiable) mythic status. A lot of the Galactica v Pegasus elements are pulled from a WW2 Enterprise v Essex’s dynamic.

@Arthur Xie Japanese ship: **exists** Enterprise: **eyes light up red**

@Arthur Xie *Nani?!*

they let a POW of 3 yrs go just to get another shot at killing the Old Man

Adama: Might be before too long. Alright, we're going to take the civilians with us; we're going to leave this solar system, and we're not coming back.

Yeah, I watched that and thought, "Did I just actually see that happen on a television show?" Played it back a few times....

This scene was soo badass that we can forgive breaking in-universe established canon about time between subsequent FTL jumps, fact that galactica somehow maintains even keel and Vipers survive the launch.....

@@piotrd.4850 It's a TV show, not a physics class. You might as well end 99% of all TV shows, because almost all of them do the same thing...Say one thing, and then 2 episodes later break the backstory.

Actually, it doesn’t break the rules at all. Canonically, Galactica has two FTL drives. It’s safe to assume two short range jumps into and out of the orbit of a nearby planet are completely possible. The working method of short-range jumping (or “hopping”) has been implemented in other Colonial ships - and considering Galactica’s role as a hybrid carrier/battleship, it arguably had a lot to gain from having two FTLs installed, which justifies why they were there at all.

Its dumb how it Galactica gets hot falling. It wasn't going anywhere fast enough

@@WildCharger This. The Cylons demonstrate hit-and-run tactics using FTL jump drives until now, so it's not universe-breaking to realize that the colonials had this capability on their flagship all along, but saved this tactic for an impactful moment as this. Just add more jump-drives. It's the obvious solution.

Jason Centracchio damn! If I were you I’d have cut a lock of his hair #fangoals

@@abbaszaidi8371 Creepy pervert detected.

Firefly is my favorite show, but BSG is a very, _very_ close second.

Yes, what an Arc they had. At first both Adamas were skeptic when it went to Roslin, Lee was the first on to really see how capable she was. They had their conflicts and i still think about how ironic it is that Adama basically let a coup against Roslin just to stop Roslin from another one later..... after the former promoted him to Admiral. And i just like how well and natural the romance between them was written, they came together over a couple of years.

@@joesheridan95 right! Not at all forced, they slowly tolerated them grew to respect, and finally love eachother.

Wow, that´s a fast answer :D After Three years you only needed hours. And yes... those two were just brilliantly written. Those two are one of the many reasons why i still love that franchise, despite all the religious and supernatural stuff in the later seasons.@@The_Mimewar

And I cried.

I have that on an autographed picture from him. One of my favorite convention souvenirs

@@S31Syntax that is awesome!!

Sometimes ya have to charge the machine guns.

I lost my mom 7 years ago cancer so I know exactly how you feel right now and I want you to take some of my strength at age 63 and use it for your own and that goes for both you and your dad and your mom

I hope your mom is doing well. This show is truly remarkable for moments like that, it never feels like some distant sci-fi to me. It's real and immediate and relatable in a way even most dramas set in the present day are not

Paul Reade That romance was written perfectly. They loved each other but could never really do anything because of their positions.

​@@matthew8153 That kiss was complete improv from EJO too. Not in the scripts, he just decided to go for it and McDonall went with it - it worked so well that was the take they used.

Yes that was just great. He found out what´s really important and he acted like that.

Yeah, he'd been keeping it together for most of the series, but that sends Adama into a complete nervous breakdown.

Adama > Picard > Sisko > Janeway > Kirk

It's really Adama > Sisko > Picard > Sheridan > Kirk > Holden

@@Kamalvincent Holden is a lovable idiot, uncompromisingly a good guy but hilariously inept

So say we all!!

JustAnotherGamer and that look on Lee’s face after he says that line. 😭

That scene really made me tear

Best line in the series.

Oh my god I just rewatched that one and that hit me HARD

We have something much better. We have Trump!

So say we all.

IDIOT

So say we all.

You have and idiot as President Lol.

Richard Miller Was that before or after he became admiral? Because this video is about after.

That was after. And honestly those are probably my favorite set of two (kind of three, because the one before it really lays the groundwork) episodes of this whole series.

Or the scene where he smashes the sailing vessel out of anger and despair???

Very cool Adama moment, but he was totally a tyrant along with the President by that time. Gaeta was right to mutiny, but Zarek twisted it into something wrong.

Maybe he's depressed and binge eating after being played by best buddy/love interest Kara Thrace. And also nothing much to do in the space when no more war and no more sparring with Kara.

Because he really loves Kara even though D is best for him. I hate they had her commit suicide.

It is easy to be a strong leader when the script has been written, the actor gets unlimited takes, you have music in the background and the result/outcome is preordained to be positive.

He is a military man, not some civi politico

All that has happened before... So say we all

Tensor Tab “is that an order?”

Cylons have an immense technological advantage, they just never got the hang of how deadbolts work.

lol

I heard two sounds of lock/latch mechanisms. There could have been another on the outside, or another outer door as well.

@@annoyed707 there was a locked gate there as well
