The Costly Battle Of The Cylons | Battlestar Galactica

By this point the whole "It's a Cylon trick!" explanation was getting a bit stale. You can tell even the Colonials in-universe are feeling that way, Adama definitely isn't buying that so easily despite it coming from Roslin

PSG is not on Peacock anymore. Hopefully it’ll be streaming soon somewhere. It cost over two dollars an episode and I just can’t afford that and I want to show it to so many people.

FRACK! You ended the scene at the best part!

The only criticism with the show I ever had was we never got properly introduced to all of the ships in the fleet. Even short scenes that over the seasons established a decent knowledge of each ship would've meant every loss would've been that much worse.

I mean even as it stands this scene twists your gut as you're seeing a battle with the civilian fleet vulnerable, which just feels so wrong after so many battles and close calls.

Essa serie merece um remaster para 2026.

All those times the Cylon Raiders were red eyeing....they were searching.

I love the details where the raiders actually bleed and aren’t entirely mechanical now.

The ship with 15 domes is my favourite of the fleet.
I'm glad it survived the battle.
RIP Pyxis.
Watching this almost at frame by frame, I'm amazed at the wonderful attention to detail and the realism for all the ships.

I've only just noticed that Tigh shot Adama in the right eye, the same one as he lost himself. (....and yes, Michael Hogan is fanstastic)

I'm thinking the Ionian Nebula is actually the Orion Nebula (M 42)

"ANDERS! GET THE FRAK IN YOUR VIPER!"

No one ever questions after this scene, how the entire fleets power just turned off

I always loved Tory's look during the Tigh hallucination. Pure horror as she realizes she's probably a sleeper just waiting for activation as well. Even for a quick little, what, 15 second scene, that didn't happen anyway, it's a powerful look.

How is it possible, that something fictional can feel so Real!

Anders, get the FRACK in your VIPER!

I like during the Tigh fake out Tory is shaking her head like “nah, bruh don’t do it! DON’T!”

Be the man you want to be!

Saul Tigh, Man of Iron

The tension is palpable.

Brilliant, brilliant television

Amazing

the sneaking level of Baltar with orange carpet tho.. "don't mind me bois, just passing by"

There are no recycled battle scenes on this show, unlike the '70s BSG.

This show is so FRACKING GOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!

Boy right about now would be a good time to have a much more advanced and bigger Battlestar called the Pegasus helping out right Lee Adama?

Still a better Sci-Fi show than most modern ones today....

Adama: Saul! …..Saul: Saul-good-man 🫠

“Where the frak are these nuggets” was hilarious

You cut this at before his eye flashed red. Stupid to cut it there

Disney spent billions for Star Wars and this battle scene is better than anything they've done... change my mind.

Cutting off Sam & the Raider making contact should have been left in, super epic moment.

"I'm Samuel T. Anders...I was born on Picon..." A truly stunning performance here by someone who wonders who or what he really is.

CHIAHAKWMYM: Was there a battle here? [THE BORG AND TERRANs STOP THE BATTLE FOR 5 SECONDs IN TRUEST HORROR AT CHIAHAKWMYM DOING KIRK THAT COMPLETELY FOR BEGGING HER TO DO HERSELF WITH ASKING FOR A FRIEND REVENGE.] Sorry, was laughing. [TAKEs OFF, KILLs ONLY TERRAN FIGHTERs, AND LANDs ON A TERRAN AIRSTRIP.] Only killed Nazis. [THEY ALL KILLED THEMSELVes ALREADY IN SCREAMING HORROR AT HER DOING KIRK DESPERATELY TRYING TO GET SIHA TO SAY SHE KNOWs ZAKK WYLDE PERSONALLY.]

This was imo one of the best battle scenes in the series. No reused footage, lots of chaos right amongst the fleet. Plus all the uncertainty in the air about the final five and Starbuck's return.

I wish Bulldog from last season had been called in to fly a Viper. I wish they continued to develop that story arc.

Great episode, still mu favorite series of all time.

I still watch this on the regular. Got access to all the seasons and 1 of the movies "Razor"

Finally in HD!

To bad it lasted only 4 seasons

Not only do I own this, it’s loaded in my phone. You know, just in case I ever get stranded in the middle of the ocean. As long as I have a solar charger, I’m ready to rock.

Is it just me, or are BSG's battle scenes even better than those in Star Wars?

If only season 4 had been more of this and less...the entire second half.

As much as I enjoyed this series, I always liked the original concept that had the Cylons being the remaining machines from a alien race! I had high hopes that the new series would go that route but apparently it’s taking place in the same universe as this series!🤷🏼‍♂️

Never could understand why Anders was trying to shoot with his left hand on the stick. Is that the control stick or does the throttle have its own “trigger?”
And BTW, do Vipers have LH throttle control? If so, what was that business with Adama testing Kara’s bum leg with weights at the gym? The one where she had to “apply continuous pressure on the pedal to execute a 6-g turn, otherwise she dies?”

Strange the ost for this battle was never released.

I just realized watched the explosion of the passenger liner Pyxis, the bodies tumbling into space as the explosion died down. Gruesome.
