Cylons Ambush Galactica - "What is that thing?!"| Battlestar Galactica

Tigh maybe a drunk and often all over the place but when Adama was down he manned up and delivered...

"Sir, I was thinking, cylons and their virus... What if we turn off wifi and bluetooth, then they will have no way of hacking into us, right?"

so good. i still hold my breathe every time i watch these battle scenes no matter how many times i've seen them

Really primitive medical tech

Never seen this show before, the battle would be cool if it wasn't for the camera man having an epeleptic fit

I just hate it when people turn to prayer for relief.

This is MY FAV show EVER!

McCreary's music is a big part of the feel. I call the osts the Galactica Symphonies.

They didn’t even send-out any SAR Raptors for any pilots that might have ejected before they FTL jumped. That’s worse than dying from your ship being hit.

I always find these jerky handycam battle scenes impossible to watch

Man this was such a good show

Pretty sure i caught a glimpse of Chiggy von Richthofen in that wave of Cylon fighters.

I could have done without the shakey cam.

I prefer the low budget classic version of Battlestar Galactica

BSG reboot is literally the result of "What is wrong with Sci-fi and how do we fix it?" Discussions. Also the director child of the screw ups in ST Voyager at the time.

Nuclear Weapons Vs. Slugthrower Cannons. In Spaaaaaace. Ya-hunh? Noooooo.

The missiles will accelerate faster, separating from a mean attack bearing enough to avoid fratricidal detonation. Upon sufficient closure, they will point their tantalum or gold covered warhead entrainment rods and they will Excalibur Laser destroy any system, guts or hard IC, which is exposed to the resulting X-Ray/Gamma and Neutron Flux.

Not believable. Not even close. Just on internal stowage demands for the munitions and the acceleration effects of multiple AAA cannons on even a large ship, like a battlestar.

The only reason you would use fighters in space would be to generate STANDOFF so that your high value capital would not be overly exposed, as it jumped into some region of the outer worlds in any given system and then (above the plane of ecliptic) immediately jumped out. Leaving the smaller craft as (likely unmanned) recoverable payload bus vehicles after a strike on the inner system ('life belt' habitability region) planets.

This series was absolutely incredible.

This shows space battles were so good

great acting... lousy writing caused me to eventually lose interest because EVERYBODY could be a Ceylon!

Frackin' toasters...

When this show was good, it was great.

Only think that doesn’t make sense is how they can hack in just cause they have their system networked together. You still need a way in. A wireless signal or something and they seem to be using cables for everything.

I saw an interview once with Mr. Olmos; he saaid "If you liked the previous BSG, you won't like this one."
I have to respectfully disagree- I was a BIG BSG nerd in 1978 (I was 15) whenit came out, however, I am an even bigger BSG nerd now!
Reboot is grittier, more 'real' (despite the subject matter)- shows how humans in a more realistic light. Some are fighters, others are weaker, and a select few try to spin events in their favor.

So base ship and base star are the same ship?

#13 here, we almost had them L.O.L 😳......🏹🤠👍

I never realized that if the virus went all the way that the cylons could have jumped the ship into a star lol

where's "hotdog"

i miss this show sooooo much.

I love The Expanse for its realism, but I love Battlestar Galactica's "semi-realism" aesthetics of an armored battlestar firing nukes around and WWII-like flak cannons. These and the difficulties onboard the ship, as well as its tension makes BSG my favorite sci-fi television series. Nothing else can top it!

I miss myself watching it the first time….

God, this was peak Galactica. The urgency, tension, feeling of despair.

I like how much more professional Hotdog is acting in this engagement. Really shows he got it in his head he isn't THE best and should keep it cool to improve his chances of not getting shot down.

This show could have been much much better than what was portrayed. They missed out on rebooting some of the classic episodes from the original Battlestar Galactica. Instead, the show felt more as a religious faith than science fiction. Also, they made the the president seem like she was the hand of God. The messenger that she's all-knowing insightful. She was a train wreck of a president. Of all the episodes they missed out rebooting they could have rebooted the one with the space angels that was a big thing in the original Battlestar Galactica and they didn't do it. I felt that they failed the show and I failed the fans.

Nukes, realistic space flight, muted sounds in space battles, sick looking ships. God I still love this show.

This is one...of the greatest shows on TV

I always thought this show did space battles better than any other franchise. The suspense is masterful, the stakes feel desperately real, every hit to the Galactica is painful and you feel how the ship is deteriorating over time, and the combat just has a realism to it.

The sheer amount of firepower the Galactica puts out just pleases my innermost nerd so much.

Little do they know that all the writers are Cylons!

If they combined this series with more exploration of planets that for varying reasons they cannot live on ie planet has sentient life and cylons keep tracking them, then they would not have needed to resort to soap opera filler episodes. Such a great series, and I stand by my opinion that Billy should have been the final cylon, would have played well with Roslyns prejudice.

I may need to re-watch this :) I still love how, rather than the hand-wavey forcefields so many sci-fi shows give their ships, Galactica uses hull armour and a barrage of artillery fire.

Best series ever

Peecock

The space battles were awesome, greatly enhanced by the music and the sound effects. The best ones I ever saw.

As a lifelong sci-fi fan I have a love-hate relationship with this show. The first half of the show was GREAT, the battle scenes were reminiscent of submarine movies and therefore felt incredibly real, the moral dilemmas they had to face (saving others vs. saving ourselves) were thoughtprovoking, the religious undertone (although not religious myself) was captivating. But it lost direction and had a dumb ending.

Best sci-fi series in television history.

I love this, I literally love this series and this moment among so many.😍😍😍😍

🤨🧐😩 this show is Battlestar Galactica only in name it is a disgrace to memory and legacy of Warren green and the true cast of Battlestar Galactica the stupid Prix. If they were going to make a Battlestar Galactica movie they should have remastered The originals and they could have slowly added episodes between the episodes so long as they stayed with the true storyline for which they didn't and then once they reach the Earth they could have finished that storyline. And from there they could have brought the Pegasus back with a new captain so long as they put in story lines and explaining what happened to Kane and other battleships. But all these new pricks want to do is take the name of old shows and act like they're the ones who came up with the story lines totally changing everything they even messed up Dune you really couldn't get any simpler than that movie
