Battlestar Galactica - Introductory Scene (HD)

It was a great sequence. In the space of a few minutes, we get an idea of the Galatica and how she's laid out. We're introduced to several characters and how they interact, and know that the Cylon war is over, the Galactica is a museum ship, and that Adama continues to adopt a paternal persona for his crew.

There's a lot of information packed into a sequence that on the surface, is just Bill Adama walking around the ship trying to memorise his speech.

In hindsight w/armor and armaments removed we have to recognize Galactica had the best armor of all plot armor. xD

oh man, the CGI aint CGIin....

Anyone know what this music track is in the background? It’s my favorite piece of music of the whole show and I can never find it 😅

He uses the word antiquated when walking into the oldest person in the scene.

Colonel Tigh barely able to keep it together storming through that media crowd lolllllllll

You can see how subversive the cylon agents were, trying to turn the public opinion against "antiquated" ie safer systems

I miss this program!!

Did they cut that wedge in that moon just for the camera crew?

crazy seeing the ship in such great condition compared to how she looked in the last episode before she flew into the sun.

I like to think that Adama's and Starbuck's quarters are just loaded with cats.

When the editor takes the lack of "CUT TO:" in the script literally

The drums Magnus

Adama: What do you hear?
Starbuck: Nothing but the rain.

The 2000s Battlestar Galactica was one of the greatest Sci-Fi series ever , same applies to Babylon-5

nearly 3 and a half minute long shot with a lot going on and several conversations

Those Drums!

And thus began one of the greatest tv shows in Sci Fi history

It's so different watching this knowing who's a Cylon.

That scene when Adama is completely drunk and wanted to have a talk with Tigh. Adama starts bullying Tigh with his wife Ellen that she fracked the whole fleet and once flirted with him as well and then they start to fight. That scene was awesome, probably the best scene of the whole show.

Great scene

The original BG was more impressive but the music in the new BG was top notch.

always sad to see Gaeta shaking Adama's hand

Welp looks like I will be dusting off this series this weekend 🤷🏾‍♂️. I grew up with and love the original but this series is far more superior.

BSG (II) is w/o a doubt the most underrated tv show of the last 30 years.

I knew I hit gold when I watched this intro. Good times

Anyone know if there’s an instrumental version of the music that plays in the background of this clip?

Man just wants to practice read his speech

So many things to love in this scene, but one thing I noticed on rewatches is how often Adama is rehearsing the line 'the cylon war is long over'....just to reinforce to the audience how much they are caught off-guard by the attack. The paranoia in this show runs with a manic energy sometimes, and that only really works when you remember how nobody was giving the cylons much thought at all.

This continuous take with no breaks is still incredibly awesome. Great opening for a stellar series.

So easy to forget how big of a fuck-up Tigh was at the start!

Seeing Gaeta here reeeeally depresses me. I'm rewatching this and every other time I see any of the mutineers it hurts.

BSG pilot called the Miniseries is free on Peacock.

Gaeta and the Admiral. Cringe.

What do you hear, Starbuck?

I watched the first episode but was turned off by Starbuck. Apparently she became more respectful as the show went on, but I wasn't interested in waiting for that.

Fuck you Gaeta!

Grab your gun and bring in the cat

The.Drums.Are.Awesome.

Where is the rest of this episode? How can I find it?

Sad about what happened to Gaeta, especially since he served with Adama for several years prior to the attack.

Its sad that a series that started so strong ended a train wreck where the only real hope was to see every last man, woman and child from the colonies dead. Cavil was the real hero of the show.

Bad news chat. They're remaking Battlestar Galactica. Apparently not even sacred show like this are untouchable. It's legacy will be destroyed like every other modern remake has done.

Quite simply the GREATEST TV series of all time, sci-fi or otherwise. I will never tire of watching it.

“You’ll see things that are odd or antiquated”
(Colonel Tigh walks past)

And Lee Adama would end up being the cat.
