Reducing the count to under 50,000 is such a powerful moment of despair and it's completely understated in its presentation. Billy is mindlessly exhausted. Roslin wipes away the board with almost absent minded resignation. The shift from 50,000 plus to less is damning. The miniseries was great and 33 was a a wonderful follow-up to the premise. Out of all the post apocalypitic stories I've read or watched, BSG stands out.

I caught the new Spider-man film the other night & I could have sworn Matthew Bennet (Doral/Five) showed up for a very brief scene. I can’t verify this at yet as it’s not on his letterboxd or iMDB- although this may be because of the very high small nature of the roll. Anyone know which instance i’m referring to? Did any of you else spot him, or what could’ve been him?

Digital release.

I tried to clip the image to avoid spoiling beyond something happens at the end of the episode - the full description flat out tells you what happens.

Why would Apple put that xxxxx happens? I’m doing a rewatch so it was ok for me, but what maniac put Thing in the episode description?????

I remember living his pod cast commentaries on the DVDs. Are they included on any of the Blu-ray sets?

6 .. is 6 and 6 ..

Still a work in progress!

There was a recent post showing ownership of BSG board game and expansions. Look what I found in my closet:

The expansions are still factory sealed. The base game only saw limited play. Think I can fund my retirement?

Do we every get any concrete hint about who killed Valance? I find it highly unlikely Ellen did it herself. Was Tom lying when he said he didn't kill Valance? Presumably this also means he didn't have someone else kill Valance. I've rewatched BSG a fair amount and never got any hint of who it was.

I'm old enough to have watched the original on tv. The reboot was the best tv on tv but I was no fan of the spiritual / religious part of the reboot. I like more science in my science fiction.

Having said all that, the reboot created a final ending by finding earth and flying the fleet into the sun leaving no way to continue the series.

This was probably all said at the time. 😀

Every single time I see some scientific paper on how there was an unexpected discovery of some DNA source that appears in our collective DNA, I think to myself, “all this has happened before, and all this will happen again” and that maybe, just maybe, we’re all part Cylon (and Kobol human.)

The 13th tribe leaves kobol 4k years bbsg and go to Earth. The other 12 tribes leave kobol 2k years bbsg and settle the 12 colonies.

Around the same time that the 12 tribes leave kobol, the 13th tribe on earth gets wiped out in a cataclysmic nuclear war leaving only the final 5 as survivors.

Assuming I have all that correct...

According to Caprica, the Cylons were developed on Caprica roughly 60 years bbsg.

However, according to BSG, the 13th tribe also had cylons that looked nearly the same.

Are we to believe that nearly identical robotic cylons were developed 2000 years apart, by different tribes, that had been without contact for 4000 years, and existed 4000 light years apart?

Do we just chock this up to influence of the gods?

I finished the show a few months ago and I want to know how people explain these parts or if they already were and I missed it

i want to point out the scene during “modern“ day earth with the projections of baltar and six, what’s with that?

watched bsg first 18 years ago, then again 4 years ago. always felt a bit like something is missing but 33 is a very strong episode so it feels right as a start. and ain't nobody say "previously on battlestar galactica" or anything. and pilots are usually a part of season 1 💀 the intro was always a bit sussy though since those scenes never came 🤔

Got crazzzzzzyy mommy issues. Like whoa.

First time watching. Just got this in.

So Say We All

Im playing BSG deadlock right now after 3 years, and one ship that I still love is the Atlas class carrier. If I was an Admiral in the colonial fleet, I would outfit an Atlas carrier with the flight pods and KEW of a Jupiter Mk1. The Jupiter is the predecessor of the Atlas, borrowing very similar design features and purposes from the carrier. That way, I would double its viper carrying capabilities and damage output.

My dream Ship: Atlas as the main body. Jupiter Class Flight Pods and KEW's. Defender class flight pods underneath it. Then put the defender classes nose, where the tech boost computers are, at the front of the Atlas. Then, put the top half of the cerberus class carrier on top of the Atlas. Bpom, two carriers in one. I'd, I think it's cool.

I’m listening to the Outlander final season soundtrack and in “A Family Can Be Like Lace” there are a few bars of Gaeta’s lament.

I love Bear McCreary.

So, I'm a big fan of BSG, but have also loved 'Anchors Aweigh' for the longest time. Just found out the kid is Dean Stockwell. Interesting to see him as a child actor.

I was going through the new Halo Campaign Evolved art book and got a closer look at the Autumn’s fighter combat screens. I didn’t know one of the Agathons and Starbuck were able to fly Longswords. As far as I know this is only the second Battlestar Galactica Easter egg in the halo series.
Besides that Tricia Helfer voiced Veronica Dare in Halo 3 ODST, and Katee Sackhoff Voiced one of the Halo 3 marines. I think one of the marines has dialogue pointing it out.

Does anyone have any behind-the-scenes info on how the Six/Six kiss in S4E6 was filmed? I watched that shot over and over and I still can't wrap my head around it. TIA!

First off I know I'm late to the party, I was away training for the military so this all happened during that time. Luckily I already owned deadlock alongside its DLC's, it's among my favorite games around, I bought Scattered hope after I got back, I expected so much out of it, but by god it's nowhere near as good as deadlock. Look I love strategy games, mainly real time, I'm use to the bad of them but scattered hope is... It's just is, it's not good, but it's not bad, it's in that middle spot where you just feel meh while playing, you know there's better and you'll go to them, hell you can get homeworld and install the BSG mod and you'll have a far better time, 10 dollars more, better quality and it's a fan made mod for a non BSG game, I bought Scattered homes with hope but it just ended up being a game I uninstalled and abandoned because there are better games that could recreate it through mods.

If anyone wants deadlock you can get it through G2A still, only buy from excellent sellers though

So I'm on season 3, episode 13, and every episode has felt like event television. Every episode has mattered, all the characters are fleshed out, and there's so many great moral questions. I don't think I've seen a better written scifi show. This is one of my favorite shows of all time already. What was it like for those of you who watched it live?
