It's also a callback to the last episode of the original BSG. Apollo and Starbuck raid and sabotage a Basestar using the Raider they captured Baltar in. Sadly they lose both the Raider and the transponder to mark them as friendly for the return trip. Starbuck had joked to Tigh earlier if something like losing the transponder happened they'd just have to waggle their wings.

Everybody seems to hate this style now compared to the 00's, yet I never noticed it when I was watching, it's extremely well done. So many series now are "beautifully shot" with the camera locked down with tonnes of negative space and wanky stilted ultimately empty symbolism, and are completely bland and lacking the riveting soul of something like this. This story gets right up close with you in comparison and you live it. Very naturalistic and Michael Mannish. You don't notice the directing until afterwards, which is what good directing IS. It's always changing and is never the one thing and the actors are always on, sort of like live theatre. It's alive.
It was a nod to Top Gun. Basically the same plot. The catapult got fouled and they couldn't launch additional planes. I wouldn't be surprised if someone on the BSG production worked on Top Gun in the mid 80s 😉 getyarn.io/yarn-clip/a64bc514-155a-4116-a482-82fc1c93b937

The "Previously on BSG" recap at the beginning of "Scar" shows a scene from this episode. I've always seen that as a suggestion that this could be the same raider, but I've seen nothing else either in the show or in BTS interviews to say so. Is there anything I missed?
@@jeremykraenzlein5975they did that to remind the viewer that raiders are alive and can download like skinjobs and centurions, and that the crew know they are alive, and have flesh and blood like them.
Oddly enough this borrows from a storyline in Galactica '78 where Starbuck captures a Cylon raider and brings it back to the fleet. Apollo recognizes it as Starbuck because the raider is "waggling" its wings, just as Starbuck is doing here.
This reminds me of the original BSG whereas Apollo and Starbuck were flying in a cylon raider and to keep from getting shot, they had to be 'waggling.'
Probably a reference to the final episode of the original series when Starbuck and Apollo did the exact same thing in a Cylon Raider to show Galactica that it was in fact them.
The "waggle" is what pilots do to, among other things, let you know they are a friendly or to acknowledge someone on the ground in need that they have been seen. Pilots have been doing it forever.
Could be nice if the scene was a little bit longer, at least showing the cylon raider slowly flying into the flight pod and manoeuvrer onto a service elevator (one of those they use to recover vipers and launch/recover raptors that lowers down to the hangar bays beneath the landing area.
It was in this scene that I started to realize that Starbucks was more than human. She was a guardian Angel, nudging them in the right direction to find the best solution for both Humans and Cylons.
William Morris maybe but you will still feel your death imagine the feeling of dying over and over that’s why they aren’t more aggressive sure they come back after death but still going to be painful
the fleet and Galactica were in the same system ahead was lost in. They also figured she had crashed on a nearby planetary body. She was lucky they stayed so long searching for her before they jumped out.
There were a few times in the Second World War in the Pacific, that a single US plane would get into a dogfight with a single Japanese fighter, and they both ran out of ammo. The done thing was to follow up with a wing-waggle, then head off home.
Fun little theory. It's quite likely that this Raider she is flying is Scar's original shell. She literally tore him to pieces and cut his brain out (sending him to a resurrection ship). Which explains why Scar has such a burning hatred for her, and why Starbuck says "Remember me?" when facing off against Scar
interesting theory, but I don't see how they would recognize each other. Perhaps Scar could see Kara through the cockpit, but Kara has no way of telling one raider apart other than the scar
Theory ain't mine, just found it somewhere. It doesn't explain how Kara would recognize Scar, well.. other than maybe flying and fighting patterns. But Scar could've always scanned her
@@asvarien "Interval failure" means when aircraft carriers fail to launch planes, and "watch your intervals" means same thing when taking off for pilots at sea. Look up old carrier history when takeoff failures occurred to see what I mean.
@@asvarien Essentially, when you launch fighters on an aircraft carrier, there is a maximum interval between fighters launching together. An interval failure means that the carrier is incapable of launching the second plane within that time, usually due to a problem with the catapult, in which case the launch is aborted so they don't accidentally destroy an expensive piece of machinery and its pilot.
@@lgmmrm i thought "watching your intervals" meant keeping track of when the battlestars flak and point defense batteries would stop firing to cool down so that the vipers could use that time to safely cross the flak field lol. shows how little i know about carriers
Great scene from a great episode. But it's always bothered me...how is she not being thrown about the inside of that raider, crushing every organ and bone in her body? She's moving as fast as a viper and maneuvering all over the place, just laying on her stomach with no restraints.
she had to crawl in between internal organs. As you're probably aware, nature abhors waste, that includes internal space. All she had to do was rip out the brainstem, which left her enough room to wriggle in.
@@BlokeOnAMotorbike Jim Moore No, I know how she found her way in, got O2, figured out how to operate it...God knows I've watched the series enough times lol But basic physics insists that she'd be bouncing around like a rag doll moving at mach 4 or 5 speeds without being strapped in like a viper or rapture pilot is when moving at those speeds. If Apollo wasn't strapped in and suited up he'd be bashed to bits in his viper...and she's moving much faster and pulling break neck maneuvers.
Basically 90% of that scene, is taken from Top Gun. The line “This will be over in 45 seconds”, after being told the launch bays don’t work is straight out of the movie.

In real life you are able to move the limbs of a patient during brain surgery by inserting things into the brain. I assumed that is what was occurring here. Starbuck is using her legs, as seen in this clip, placing pressure on specific nerves. Regarding the flight data necessary to actually traverse space for long distances, I don't know, she's just _that_ good of a pilot or something.
If you watched the series or read the title you would know the cylon raiders are "part biological" so she just pulls or pushes against nerves/tendons basically.

Battlestar Galactica, Stargate SG-1. Two of the best sci fi shows out there.
Yes!!!
SG-1 is the weakest of the Stargate franchise.
SG-1 isn't even playing the same sport, let alone be in the same league as BSG.
I would clearly not put them on the same quality level. SG1 is almost a comical show.
