And Picard would have led efforts to negotiate with the Cylons. They will meet for a treaty signing near some old moon, and back in San Fran they will have a big celebration with a giant "PEACE" sign. Data would have been sympathetic with their cause--"Having dealt with humans for so long, I totally understand their desire to wipe them out. And having been the target of a plot-inconsistent effort to disassemble me, I won't support disassembling them. Dropping shields... [Picard's voice] Computer, initiate Transporter Program Data1: Destination: The Cylon bridge. And then lock out all Enterprise controls: Password: sdjfsdfsd7d77fs77fsd77fssds&&Dfdsshjie!. Engage." Then the Romulans would show up to save Earth, as they don't mess with silly negotiations or allow androids in command positions. And the people of Earth say goodbye to all that democracy and stuff, and welcome rule by the Romulan Star Empire. "If only we'd allowed the veterans to seize control, and set up a Citizen's Federation." ... Oops. Jumped universes.

Starfleet would have had a little trouble with the raiders. The raiders lasers couldn't do much to the shields but the starships would have a problem destroying the raiders. The raiders would be more maneuverable and doge the phasers or photon torpedoes. The bas4e stars would be easier to destroy. They would need to launch the attack sleds to destroy the raiders.
@ThreePointOneFou5 ай бұрын
But Starfleet has not only long-range detection but also warp technology, neither of which the Cylons have. The Cylons would be picked up long before they even reached Earth, probably even before they hit the solar system. And once their hostile intentions are confirmed, Starfleet would be all over them like white on rice. The raiders might prove a problem against Federation cruisers, but not much of one and not for long, with ship after ship suddenly turning up out of nowhere to join the fight. Meanwhile, the unshielded base ships would be cut to pieces by the fleet. Patrick MacCylon would almost certainly find his "final annihilation of the lifeform known as Man" proclamation premature, to say the least.

I like the second variant of these even more, very similar, but a bit sleeker, more refined, as seen in 'Blood and Chrome'... The last version (of sorts) in the re-imagining of BG is pretty cool, I guess, for what it is, but they're just too...I dunno, long, pointy-winged, almost like they're imitating the cherubim atop the Ark of the Covenant, y'know?

I thought the classic Cylon raiders were cool, but they were too big to be maneuverable. They were more like bombers than fighters. Which probably explains why the colonials were always able to fly better and the Cylons relied on numbers. I didn't like the G80 version as it just doubled down on the bulky, impractical size. The nuGal Cylon raiders were okay. Maybe I didn't like them so much because they were just a ripoff design from the old Wing Commander game on the PC.

I love how they screwed up scale and perspective on the city attack shots - a raider is a three-seat aerospace craft, yet at one point they have one the size of a compact car strafing a city street.

They used generous portions of footage from Universal’s 1974 movie Earthquake in this movie (not to mention footage that was used in the Day After as well).

is the destruction of Earth, from the movie The Day After ? independent day movie destruction of earth would work too.

It either came from the movie Earthquake, which Galactica 1980 used, or The Day After. Some of David Kerin's work is in there as well. I don't know what he used.

Most of the stock footage presented here is indeed from the ABC production THE DAY AFTER. Good use of this footage too.

Good eye. Everything about Galatica 1980 was C H E A P. That's the only way he got a second season. From Mike Brady to Kawasaki Ninjas with extra fairings to officer Reed as protagonist. The Starbuck, enemy mine episode of Mormon mythology of the starchild from celestial Eve was the only good episode that year.

@@sarahwolf6754 Robert Reed was a very basic good actor. See "The Defenders 60-65" and "Mannix 68-70". He got type cast due to Mike Brady as he got a bit goofier and charactured as the series went on. He did a good Movie of the Week with Shatner and some other name actors for men in a mid life bucket list desert motorcycle trip. Then he did "Medical Center" as a transsexual surgeon....and that was about it for his career till Larson hired him for this.

@@sarahwolf6754 I think they filmed the Starchild Enemy Mine episode the year before, UT didn't have it edit or post production ready. They tied it into the Cousin Oliver character backstory in G 1980.

Nice video, far better than what Galactica 1980 managed to do. I have always imagined that Base Stars had the power to launch devastating orbital attacks to destroy cities. As a child, i never could accept that a bunch of Cylon Raiders could destroy the populations and infrastructure so completely of 12 entire planets. I always imagine there being some big orbital attacks that we did not see. Also, rememver in deleted scenes of Cylons launching bombs that contaminated food and caused cellular degeneration in those who consumed it. This is why Serena dies originally before they changed it. I have a suggestion, though. Just get rid of the wrap around plot of them watching a what if scenario. Have this be the real outcome. Galactica finds Earth, everyone dies. The end! That is more merciful than Galactica 1980! P.S. Gotta love those one-man mini Cylon Raiders that are the size of a Toyota and fire tiny little lasers that make sparks fly up on city highways! 🤣
