I just introduced my GF to this show 3 months ago. I had re-watched the whole thing at least twice since it aired and figured once more would be fun. She reluctantly agreed to give the miniseries a try, and by the time the fleet left the ammunition facility, she was addicted. We finished the entire series last week. It's SO dense in terms of moving parts and well-crafted characters that it feels like it moves at a thousand miles an hour. So many shows plod and creep along, but with BSG there's a major plot advancement every episode. I think that's part of why it is so compelling. As an aside, watching it knowing all the "secrets" with someone who has no idea what's about to happen next was a lot of fun. Seeing her reactions to the twists was a real treat.

The decision to outlaw networked computers in the Galactica world was brilliant, and I think that a real-life lesson of that very sort is in the future for all of us.

My mom spent most of the days in the room watching the series. I saw the first episode of season four in the hospital room and I was so happy to see it. I said to my mom, I can't wait to see the next season. She replied, I can see why it was a great show. Got to rewatch the entire series again. Always liked to stop the series around that one episode and then watch the movie Razor, which took place between two of the episodes in season 3.

I am glad that Crashdown gets a mention. She was one of my favorite side/small time characters. All the pilots that get more than a passive mention and some screen time were cool.

Well done, Sean. Great list. I was addicted to the show, and had no idea about any of this.

I feel like a lot of the people involved in the whole GINO campaign were going off of their faded memories of the original series, rather than the actual content of the original series. Sure, by today's standards, the show seems pretty light, but for its time, it was dealing with some dark themes that definitely carried over into the new series. A couple of years ago I binged the original series immediately followed by the new series, and it was both shocking and impressive how many ideas Ron Moore carried over, from different models of Cylons, the class warfare within the fleet, "angels," politics vs religion -- it's all there in the original series.

THE best remake of a show. The new Battlestar Galactica it rang more true than the first. In the original, the colonists were gallavanting and happily skipping about, from one adventure to the next, no worries, no stress. In the remake the colonists were like "Holy Crap!!, We gotta go, We Gotta Go Now!!. Being hunted , as opposed to being looked for.

Excellent analysis. I love this show, just rewatched entire series again for the 3rd time. I thought that when it came out in the aftermath of 9/11 and the US 'war on terror' there was a lot of commentary in the show related to all that entailed. Also thought the cast was stellar. The relationship between Adama and Rosland was incredibly well done and extremely touching. But all were excellent. I think one of best series ever made, regardless of genre. However, I tried to watch the original versions of BSG, and just found unwatchable.

A friend talked me into watching this last year and after a couple of episodes I felt silly for sleeping on it for so long. Interesting characters played by a brilliant cast, guided by really good writing.

Brilliant series. I like that they used a lot of the origional fleet ships from the first show.

This mythology needs to be revisited in a huge way, not in Earth's present or future, but in its past. The set up is perfect, in that the survivors of the 12 Colonies and survivors of the Cylon Civil War unite to settle a prehistoric Earth populated by primitive humans. They've already laid the groundwork for this with the the various real life _human_ religions we know about. More importantly, they could meld the lore and _miracles_ of these real life religions with the knowledge and abilities of these human/Cylon colonists who surely would become god-like to the primitive humans already populating Earth... Sure, it will probably piss of the faithful of current religions as things, such as Moses parting the Red Sea, are given some kind of technological explanation, but for the vast majority of people not offended by such things, it would serve as a deep exploration of Earth's theologies and their lore.

I met Edward James Almos he was a really nice person. We talked for fifteen minutes and he wrote me a note. And I still have it to this day. It says: "Welcome aboard battle star Galactica Commander Adama." That's before his admiral rank change.

I didn't see, at a glance, if anyone mentioned it but you forgot an awesome hidden fact: Serenity, from Firefly, can be seen landing during the mini series when Roslin is being told she has cancer. Its cameo was an inside joke between 2 digital artist that both worked on Firefly & BSG.

If you watched the original, you knew Starbuck would return in the reboot.

Firefly was in the mini series when Roslin is in the Docs office.

Many have a favorite movie they re-watch frequently. I have _Battlestar Galactica_ . Every few years, I return to The Fleet.

in the mini series, the captian of Coloial Heavy 1701, says, strike that, this is Colonial 1, massive homage to trek!

I loved this BSG series.. sooo gooood.

Well done, some stuff I didn’t know about my favourite series.

Funny saying they are not Angels but messengers when that is what the word Angel actually translates to from greek.

And I still can't an explanation about Baltar saying "You know he doesn't like that name", when 6 says "God's plan", then she looks at him and he says, "silly, silly me". I don't get it.

Great video. I like your mature tone in this one, What Culture. Growing up, nice.

Thank you for the analysis.

True fans already knew most if not all of these facts -- but your summary is excellent, I have to say. Very nicely put together. Thank you

Ok

i'm rewatching from the start now on bluray; it's better even that I remember

Because Baltar and Six are both Cylon, when they died in a nuclear blast, their wires got cross when they were resurrected. And that’s why they both see the other when they wake.

The BEST series ever.

loved the show big time i binged it all in very short time with very little sleep. love the ending bigggg time. one of my all time fav show. watched it once more at later time. not as great when you know whats going to happen but still great watch second time. you should also watch caprica if you have not. great series showing time line prior to bsg. the events that lead to cylons.

I remember the back and forth with Ron on the forums at Skiffy at the time, unusual times. He was more than happy to bounce words with you no problem.

Moore’s quote about the Cylon Homeworld was from years earlier, which obviously changed because the Colony was referred to as their Homeworld on screen. The Colony is their “homeworld.” I quote it because it’s a fake Homeworld, we all know they’re from Caprica, I mean Earth, I mean Kobal.

Hello from Amsterdam the BSG is timeless,,,, Thank you for sharing This Great footage..much love from the netherlands

brilliant loved that series:):)

The only time I was really disappointed by the show was also one of the many times I was absolutely blown away by the show...Pegasus' final charge. I get that the show was Battlestar *Galactica*, but the way they destroyed Pegasus was an insult to the characters' intelligence who commanded them.

@@paavobergmann4920 What's your point? Do you even know the scene I'm referring to? Lee Adama was none of the things you mention and in many ways was an ideal commander (though he didn't follow orders due to Galactica having plot armor).

Great series. If anyone is watching it again, please see if you can see both Baltar and # 6's reflection behind them when they first encounter tortured 6 on Pegasus. I think one is missing. It may even be Baltar. Maybe I was just seeing things.

That was great! Thanks.

I used to love this show. My wife loves Moore because he made "Outlander", which i can't get into. Having said that, she can't get into BSG. That's how you know Moore is good at what he does.

Question : did the CGI Team also worked on Firefly? Coz there is a small apearence of the Serenity in the pilot

This was one of the best shows I have ever seen.

Awesome. One of the best shows ever.

Edward James Olmos actually brings a little bit of Castillo (his Miami Vice role) to his portrayal of Adama. One of Many reasons you should buy The Complete Series and bingewatch whenever possible.

What an amazing show that was. What a gift.

The best thing to come out of covid lockdown for me in the UK was the BBC showed the entire of BSG from the start, at about 2 episodes per week, plus Razor, with no inter season gaps, in HD with 5.1 surround sound. It was way better than watching the first run on low rent Sci Fi channel with poor picture quality and sound in the UK.

I believe that the GINO term originated when, after Richard Hatch was cast, Dirk Benedict was not. This caused a backlash from the original show's fans and Benedict himself.

Loved that show!
