It truly boggles my mind why none of the main actors in this show ever won an Emmy. The ensemble cast of this show was absolutely amazing. The writing was second to none. It deserved a far greater audience than it got. I really hope the planned Sam Esmail continuation planned for Peacock streaming can carry the ball.

It would have been so easy for them to do that stereotypical 'everyone moves to the volunteer side of the deck' move that so many other movies and shows use. Instead, they did something more believable and nuanced by actually having some people say "No, I'm not volunteering for this suicide mission, sorry" and go to the other side of the deck. Much as I love a sappy 'We're all in this together' moment, it's scenes like this that really help BSG stand apart from the crowd.

in all fairness, if everyone had volunteered there would be nobody to crew the Galactica, as Adama pointed out. He would then be forced to handpick a group of people to accompany him on the Raptor. In the end, there was sufficient personnel for both.

@@jeffburnham6611 You misheard the beginning of this clip; Adama was saying that if he wasn't able to get enough volunteers to crew *Galactica*, he would lead a Raptor assault with the volunteers he has. In other words, he is trying to get enough volunteers to take the Galactica on a suicide mission, along with enough crews to man the fighters and Raptors. In the end, he got his wish. Also keep in mind that the Galactica has a massive crew, and even with everyone shown in the clip, this wasn't the full complement. He likely repeated the speech a couple of times.

Brilliant scene.

One of the most powerful scenes I've ever seen.

Wow how I miss this incredibly great show, not only one of the best Sci Fi shows ever, but also one of the best shows ever period. Such a great cast and acting, and characters. Laura Rosslin was one of the strongest and most human characters ever, and Mary McDonnell was amazing, she is an amazing actress. Seeing her act strong in spite of her cancer slowly killing her, and showing her love for Adama often made me cry. I truly miss this show

The soundtrack, the acting, the camera, the cuts, everything about this scene is perfect. Adama's face softening as soon as he saw Laura...

This was the moment that Gaius fully became a good man.

I miss these people. To me, the one and only thing that can draw me into a story be that a book, film or a TV show is the characters. I don't care whether they're in outer space, a fantasy world or travelling through time... but if I genuinely care and become invested in the characters, then I'll follow them anywhere. Battlestar Galactica was many wonderful things and quite unique for a TV show at that time, but the thing about it I loved the most were the characters, each and every one of them fully inhabited and realized by the many wonderful actors who portrayed them. And after four seasons and 5 years, you can grow to love them like old friends. And it's scenes like this with that subtle yet hauntingly familiar anthem playing in the background makes me miss them all and want to watch the whole Frakkin thing again. So say we all.

If you look close, every single marine crosses the line to go

Roslin and Adama has such a beautiful relationship

I would follow Adama into hell, he's a truly great leader

This is motivating. I've only watched clips of the show but I'm going to get the Battlestar Galactica series on DVD. In real life, 'Chaos' General James Mattis, has this respect and loyalty from me, along with tens of thousands of Marines. I was an armored vehicle gunner in Iraq 2003. I saw General Mattis's vehicle convoy three seperate times during the push to Baghdad and it was motivating to see General Mattis riding in an open hatch of his LAV, wearing the hot, bulky MOPP suit, and face grimy and dark from the road grit; same as the rest of us. I'll add that the battalion and company commanders had charge of the fights once we were engaged, but General Mattis stayed close behind the leading elements of an attack so he could see with his own eyes the shape of the battle. That's my assumption at least. In the April 2003 attack on Al Kut, my vehicle convoy was rolling out to our position when up ahead of me, I saw an LAV and three humvees mounting the roadway and start to intermingle with our vehicles. I intercommed my driver and yelled "what the hell are they doing? cut him off!" My driver accelerated to cut off the LAV from merging in front of my vehicle, and as we passed him my driver called back to me " I think that was General Mattis! " , and we started laughing. We cut off Chaos Actual. A few miles later, Chaos convoy peeled off, my rifle company continued to our blocking position and I have a funny anecdote in the middle of armored vehicles racing towards a fight. I love General Mattis, I love the character Admiral Adama. Hoorah to Admiral Adama that he would fly a Viper along with his pilots. Thanks to all the actors of the show and especially to Edward James Olmos for bringing a living legend leader to life.

Did you get the DVDs yet? If not, you can watch the show on Hulu. At least, I think it's still there. It had been on Netflix previously. It's a GREAT show, possibly the best show I've ever seen, though not perfect. I could list a dozen flaws off the top of my head, but they don't detract from what makes the show great. What makes it great is that one one level, it's a grand, mind-blowing high concept ... on another level, it's a fairly realistic portrayal of characters who all ring true. Very rarely does someone do something simply because the plot needs them to do it. Every major character is well-fleshed-out, and you can judge them to be good or bad, but they aren't cardboard cutouts. In this show, we see the strongest characters crumble and we see the weakest characters find their strength. We see all hope lost, but the need to continue anyway; we see the full spectrum of human behavior tested in extreme situations. If you haven't watched it yet, you should. It's too bad you've been watching clips first, though, because there are HUGE spoilers in these clips, and it's a show that's best to experience unspoiled if you can.

Adama's accomplishments as Commander/Admiral since the Fall of the Colonies is nothing short of amazing. From escaping with one ancient ship he rode his luck and used every last play possible to get to this moment, to be in a position to defeat the Cylons who had every thing in their favour at the start of the war. It's been awhile since I watched it but I know the Colony mission was about getting Hera back but it must have been sold to the volunteers that it was a chance to squish the Cylons for good as they wouldn't have had that nuclear Raptor waiting to knock it into the black hole...

Virtue means nothing if there are no more people to appreciate it. Therefore, the idea/principle of virtue or any valued concept is dependent upon the existence of humanity. So no humans, no life, no virtue. If you manage to be the only survivor in the Universe, no concept of morals, ethics, heroics, sacrifice...literally nothing relating to virtue is of value. Empathy, truth, integrity...etc... they are completely useless without anyone else to apply to. And this is the Truth that is the reason for those people to chose to sacrifice themselves for humanity. Each one is aware, that human values are pointless if they managed to survive alone in the Universe. Literally - Death is better than living alone in the Universe with no values.

That's not just out of sentiment either, even if they were told no one would be thought less of. Not volunteering would never be acceptable to them.

many of the Marines and pilots took part in the mutiny led by Gaeta and Zarek. Some volunteered, like Racetrack and Skulls , but some followed through and did not volunteer.

I like to imagine something like this occurring with Aleksandr Kerensky from the Battletech Universe.

similar reason but to avoid a battle instead of make one

I like how they didnt do some bull twang all go across the line etc but they had different people making different choices for their own reasons...

The character of Adama is one of the greatest ever written. Mr. Almos put his mark on it and by Gods, he owns it forver. Everything about this felt REAL. I understand that is what GREAT acting can give. A sense or relatable reality. What can they do to follow this? Nothing. This was lightning in a bottle. They can never cast this well ever again.

The scene in tv history! Although other rival competitive best scenes are also from the same series.

What a great moment. It's a shame the series is locked behind one of the worst streaming services out there. Glad I have my Blu-rays

Let's be honest, if any of us watched Roslin shakily walking over to join Adama, we'd be shamed into going whether we wanted to or not. If a woman with a frail, decaying body had the guts to go on a suicide mission, why are we too weak not to as well?

Bear McCreary got so robbed. I listen to this soundtrack as much as I do Star Wars and my other favorite Fandoms.

I might sound like a cheesy stereotype, but my behavioral programming, thank you mom, dad and all my ancestors, is that i would be among the first to step over the line to stand on the line and give all. Plus, a leader like Admiral Adama, I would march into Mordor or any other unpleasant place. On my Honor. So Say We All.

Great series

Ok, now I have to put the DVD in and watch the episode. Not that I wasn't already thinking about it anyway, but this is just the impetus to do so.

It was never about being a civilian. He was trying to be his own man. He became a pilot to impress his dad and only realized it after the series had started it. His brother did the same thing and died because of it. It was the one time in his career he made a choice for himself - but when the fleet needed him, when the old man needed him, he was there.

I mean, they were at peace at the time. Lee came across as someone who didnt want to make a career of the military in that sequence with Starbuck and Zac.

Sisko probably would have done the same.

Imagine not remembering which side and accidently ending on the wrong one

Adama is a wartime leader and not a very good diplomat. He also does not have the burden of upholding Starfleet's Prime Directive or any kind of moral code other than his own. Sisko is not in Adama's situation either, being on DS9 is what gave him a commanding presence.
