The good thing is that BSG had an ending rather than being cancelled which would have been heartbreaking.
Thank you for mentioning that because there has been so many good scifi shows thru the years that i loved only to get cancelled. Yes - Awesome that they completed this one. If only they would not cancel ever again. . . .
The ending they chose for the story was bitter, but very, very classical science fiction. I think that the likes of Asimov or Frank Herbert would have approved.
Well they were both cancelled I imagine it's just that these days it's proper to cancel a show in the first half of a new season so that the writers can scrape together some sort of ending, hence why so many finales often seem rushed by trying to tie up 90 loose ends in 8 episodes.
@@krashd the reason so many finales are bad is not (only) about shows being cancelled, it's about head writers not knowing where it's gonna end from the get go. Think about LOST : it wasn't "cancelled", it lasted for many years, and the ending is a pile of nonsense, and non-resolutions.
@@timytimeerased Yes it is that often writers have to rush finales due to not knowing if a show will be renewed or not or they know it will be canceled (last example we have in scifi is The Expanse, we missed the bloodbath in the ring and they had to rush on the explanation of what was happening and give a decent finale in case the show was cancelled, like it was, thank God Amazon decided to go on). If I'm not mistaken, BSG should have been a 5 seasons project, but Sify decided otherwise (like too many other times with many decent/good shows cancelled over the years) so they had to rush things a little. For me the 4th season was great too, only the finale felt a bit rushed, but acceptable. LOST is completely another story, it began like a 1-2 seasons project, then the success made the producers think about a longer run, the problem was that in the end the writers KNEW they had 3 seasons before the end of the show, and instead of start wrapping things up, they continued to add bullshit EVERYONE knew they would have not explained in the end, because there was literally no time to do that in a few episodes in the last season. However, it's not always easy to create a great finale, many excellent shows never had a good one. On one hand, we, as fans, get used to so much quality that we always expect more and more and probably "overhype" what should happen, and we are never happy with how things go, and writers can't make everyone happy. On the other hand, it's not always easy to maintain the same quality when you can develop a story in a long run, which is "easier", or when you have to do it in a shorter period or have to wrap things up. In a perfect world it could be possible if you are sure that a show will not be cancelled etc, so you can plan everything following the initial project in every way, but we all know writers, like producers, actors and everyone else involved, don't have that luxury...
Interesting. A question is does the BSG cast now understand how the original BSG cast felt.
That's a good question indeed.
The best tv series ever. Sad the ending was a hurry up. This series should still be on tv.
Wing Nut Yeah it was rushed for sure.
I like ur name. That's what my dad calls me lol
I miss the Egyptian old style bsg. Still she is the best looking actress ever. Even more then 7of9🙄😃
So say we all...
One name. Jane Seymour.
All natural. No Borg implants.
@@gentblue I think Ricia had implants.
Ron Moore's BSG is still one of the greatest TV shows of all time. I personally would like to see them set it in the same universe. I've had an idea that hopefully they follow. In the TV series, they talk about at the beginning of the series Galactica is the last of her class of Battlestar and there hare dozens, maybe 70+ if not over 100 Battlestars, at that point when the Colonies get attacked. We Galactica is thought to be the ONLY surviving warship until Pegasus appears. My idea is what if there was another Battlestar that survived. What if that Battlestar went after the Cyclon homeworld. (yes the Colony is supposed to be their homeworld) We never see any other ships also. As a navy sailor, when a aircraft carrier is out there, she has escort cruisers, destroyers, ect. We never see any other warships except the Battlestars and Bayships, as war as warships go.
I loved the finale to the show.
Imagine James Callis going home after a day of shooting, he looks into the mirror and says "I was kissing with Tricia Helfer" :)...and does it every day.
Best perk of BSG
James Callis is not a bad looking bloke.
She's not pretty or sexy, just a cheap ploy to reel in sci Fi nerds!!
@@Briscom really? I would love to see ugly Betty as a cylon lol
I loved BSG, and it was cool to find Tricia's voice later on my favourite games like Mass Effect and Starcraft 2
Who doesnt like the ending? The ending is amazing. The early parts of the episode and that season arent as great as the previous, but the ending is perfect.
I thought so too.
The ending sucked. It was GOD all along! Really?
@@Anaris10 Thats not accurate. They were dead in season 6, thats it. The rest they were alive. Only that side time shift was them dead.
Love BSG. My wife never rewatches a series. She has seen it four times. I have seen it more.
I still would like to have seen a follow up to the finale, say thirty years after the 12 colony survivors landed in Africa. Some dramatic story where the sixes or the eights had started up a society leading the indigenous prehistoric humans. So much had to have happened after everyone had dispersed to different continents.
I didn’t even know about battlestar galactica when it was aired, i watched it years after it ended. I bindged watched it and loved it, its one of my favourite series of all time as well.
yep, same. netflix.
Same here.
I used to watch it on bootleg DVDs in Bulgaria back when it started airing in 2004-2005, me and my mom were fans. Sadly, we only got to S03 but then 7-8 years ago I remembered how good it was and rewatched the whole thing. It blew me away. It lived to the hype I had when I was 13. Definitely one of my most favourite series of all time.
Yep, same. I would even call it a Cult Classic.
Sky Walker Some of the actors in the BSG are actually involved in a sex cult...
Edward James Olmos I think was one of the best parts in the whole series..the development and the way he displayed the weight and ware of the of that type of responsibility . That’s thing about a series and a really good seasoned actor that character development.
My father was an actual F-14 pilot who went on o be the captain of an aircraft carrier (USS Eisenhower) and then an admiral of CARGRU 6 (a carrier battle group). He said to me after seeing the show, "Either he got great coaching from the Navy or he is the greatest actor ever. That is EXACTLY how it works and how you act as a commander."
Stewart did the same thing with Picard on Next Gen,
@@interdimensionalsteve8172 definitely
There were times that I wished that Crockett and Tubbs were there...
Lorne Greene is the only real Adama
Still drop dead gorgeous...and has the talent to match. How she isn't a leading lady in Hollywood is beyond me. She has a good career, but she deserves superstar status.
@@Tone_Of_Dials All i can think is how absolutely and thoroughly hashtag-cancelled BSG would be if it were released today. Too many traditional strong male characters and too many deep challenging questions about God for the average blue checkmark.
@@Hadgerz I wouldn’t think so. With good writing and good deeply rooted characters you can make any story be liked even though it’s not to the actual social standards we « think » are the norm today.
@@Hadgerz not at all would it be canceled. This was a strong show in every way and it holds up great. I would love to see this show released with the social media we have today. I think it would have blown up and been a phenomenon.
Oh man, blond wig red dress Tricia was a living work of art!
She might even be prettier now if that's even possible.
Now that I saw Game of Thrones ending, jesus BSG did a good job.
A few things about the BSG ending frustrate me, but in the grand scheme after thinking it over I think it's a satisfying ending.
it was a shit ending
@@vector409 I would not go as far as you, but I did not like it. I think they got lost with the final Cylons thing, almost as if they did not storyboard it when they said there were 12. Season 4 was not cohesive. Were they expecting one more season?
The only things wrong with BSG was that they got a little bit over obsessed with the final five and it was dragged out for a season longer than it should have been. I thought the ending was a great resolution to the story.
@@hillsane9262 Sharon says there are 8 models, but #7 Daniel was completely destroyed so we never see him. It's the 7, plus the final 5.
Honestly.. who could top James Callis as Gaius Baltar? He was incredible.
That accent change he did really surprised me.
Honestly, to this day it still bothers me that Starbuck slept with Baltar . I had such a crush on Starbuck, and it felt at that time as though she had cheated on me and I had walked in and caught them. But such was the impact tv had on its viewers back then
The only person I could see in this role other than James Callis is the guy who played lex Luther in Batman vs Superman watching battlestar galactica today and Gaius reminds me of him heaps
@Don J. they don't care...to them the original was garbage even though it was based on it...but yeah I totally agree with you...
John Colicos maybe? (The Original/classic Baltar actor? Obviously he was a a slightly different character but I think John was a talented enough actor to embody the diversity of the updated character.
The opening couple of episodes of Battlestar Galactica were some of the coolest sci fi I've ever seen.
Yeah, Lorne Greene, Dirk Benedict, Jane Seymour, and the rest were wonderful.
I remember when I first watched it. The whole part where they couldn't get a break from the cylons following them for days after each jump I was like "damn this show's serious" lmao.
The opening couple of episodes of Battlestar Galactica were some of the most boring sci-fi I ever seen.
Tricia became Legendary as Number 6, and I thank the Lords of Kobol that she did that role. Beautiful, talented... epic.
Hammern28 Praise be to the gods!
Remember though that Number 6 was a Cylon and she did not believe in the Lords of Kobol.
Cylons believed in the one true God.
@@Bill23799 Yeah, but it was I, who thanked the Lords Of Kobol, mhmm.
The high kicks during the Starbuck fight was spectacular.
She had a surprising emotional depth and nuance to her acting.
New Battlestar? Hope Disney is not involved.
Amen or JJ Abrams, I couldn't handle lense flares on every cylon scanner
No no no no stop you two!! You're terrifying me!
NBC is worse. Look at what they did with Knight Rider.
Right you got taht right
It'll be a black transgender lesbian captain. Democrats in space lecturing us and speechifying through the galaxy. Ugh...
I'm just happy I got to see the likes of BSG, Babylon 5, TNG and StarGate.
Quality science fiction, what more could I ask for.
I'd add Farscape to that collection.
David P I keep expecting a reboot for Babylon5
@@billykelly1013 I can't see that happening, JMS would have gotten something together by now
Declan O'Reilly What is JMS?
@@billykelly1013 He is the Guy, the one that started B5 and had the vision, not to mention he owns the rights
I started watching BSG with some misgivings. I watched the original as a kid and didn't think it would be very good. I was so wrong.
In my opinion this was among the best dramatic productions ever made. The entire cast delivered stellar performances in every episode. I openly wept during the final installment. Very touching.
totally agree. It filled the hole in my heart left by the ending of the West Wing. And it was kind of West Wing in space. I thought it was completely stunning.
I am glad there was a "Reboot" and I also was very sad when the Original BSG was cancelled. I was 18 at the time and it was shocking to see and hear that. I loved the show and it was right there with Star Trek for me. However, I found the 2nd one to be TOO dark and depressing. In the Original I always felt good at the end of each show that they were "Fighting the good fight" but many times after watching the Reboot I would be very depressed and thinking "Frack humans we do not deserve to live at all" we are so vile and Evil.
The Moore-Eich version won a Peabody award, which told me this Sci-Fi series was going to be respected.
Battlestar Galactica was the first Sci-Fi TV show to win a Peabody award and showed me that somebody honored the material for being faithful and adult. 😮😮❤❤😊😊
I didn't want to like it because I didn't like how the Galactica looked. It looked very weird to me. The original Galactica looked so amazing.
But in all honesty the acting for BSG TOS was total crap. So were the effects. So were the plots and scripts. The reboot was SOOOO much better.
I was completely hooked when Prez Roslin had to order the fleet to jump, while leaving behind the ships that couldn't jump. I HOPE YOU BURN IN HELL!
Wow. That was intense.
I'm right there with you, I still think that the 1st Season was bad....The Kobol (Tomb of Athena) Epi- Saved it.
I’m still mad about how Caprica ended. I think I might be one of the few who enjoyed the show.
god i miss caprica everyday
was gutted Caprica ended.
I loved it too!
I enjoyed it too, although I had to warm up to it first. I enjoyed how it explored the AI and virtual reality subgenres.
I liked Caprica way better than the new BSG.
Tricia would be a great addition to The Expanse.
I must read the book
OMG yes! Such a badass show, they need to get her or maybe Sackhoff.
@@nspinicelli Or both?
@@233kosta
Yes, both! 🥰🤩
Good point, which character? I would say the scientist woman in Laconia, the good one.
I just loved Tricia's work in BSG. She had such a huge range, playing so many versions of 6. And she did it with such subtle acting choices, bringing each version to life in a different way. What a talented actor.
Listening to her; she demonstrates WHY the series was so good. They honestly cared about the story and became their characters. They were a family heavily invested in their world. This series is in my top ten greatest series. I cried when Roslin died while Adama is decribing where they will live their lives. So many good moments in this series. I just don't know if this re-boot can be done. It's going to have to have mature writers. The series isn't about space. It's about family,
i mean... it was a reboot too😅
I have faith in Sam Esmail. If he leaves tho then nope
"It's about family" is so right. And so few producers, show-runners, and writers understand that about the "space" shows... and hero shows. Right on.
So say we all.
Making new Battlestar Galactica is like making new Blade movie. They never can do that.
RIP to Richard Hatch. Miss you, frakker.
It's hard to believe he's gone too
SunTai - He loved playing Zarek, no doubt about it.
*Ditto.., & "So say we ALL" 👍
Loved the characters of Apollo and Starbuck !
I hope I can fly a viper one day with Richard in heaven.
I was lucky enough to meet him and talk with him a year before he passed.
4 years later and there's still no reboot
Tricia's BSG was the GOAT
It's a shame they cancelled the prequel 'Caprica', that was fantastic.
I'm watching Caprica, and I don't hate it, but I don't love it. It just doesn't feel like BSG with the holoband crap and the Tauron mafia stuff
Yes, that was a great series.
One first and last episode is good rest is crap
Yah the ending was MAD RUSHED it was intriguing but I wanted to know more about the cylons and their progression to sentience and their depth of character, how does avatar Zoe lead what are essentially her people?
@@domonator5000 I mean more than rushed they had years left of material that they wanted to do. I personally loved Caprica. It was definitely a slow burn especially at the start, but it did have very good world building and was just getting better.
Blood and Chrome should have been a full series... simple as that.
Agree 1000%
Ditto!
But it was awful.
Looked like shit though
So say we all!!
I watched most of BSG with my daughter who would fall asleep in my arms, I miss those days
The opening sequence is one of the most iconic in all SciFi TV, and perhaps in all of SciFi generally. "Are you alive?"
Watching TV, daughter in my lap, was a painless no-fuss way to put her to sleep. This was back in the early 80s, so the shows were different. I may try this approach with my new grandson.
Those were the nights, SG-1, SGA, BSG....and a toddler getting to bed, with a baby being held on the couch....while thinking how hot Tricia Helfer was, and she still is.
so sweet
The human race being wiped out of existence by AI robots was comforting ?
Damn I am getting old. Now THESE guys are the "old school" team that are bitching about the new guys.
When I was a kid, watching this, Starbuck was still a dude and all of the Cylons were still robots.
Agree. And Boomer too.
Ikr , when i heared katee sackhoff calling herself starbuck i was like nooooo. Where is face?! Still a good show though.
You mean 1980s I was just a kid and all hyped about it….

"all this has happened before, and all this will happen again" the same people coming and playing different parts is almost written into the fabric of BSG
Agreed, I thought it was a great ending, it ended properly, rather than leaving us hanging, some people were laid to rest, the Cylons went off to do their own thing, and the ending scene left the door firmly closed on this iteration, yet strangely open, but not in an annoying 'that ended badly' way. Of course having the Cylon robots roaming around space leaves lots of room for a new story, maybe returning to the humans home many centuries later, only for the conflict to be re-ignited. Or maybe even the Cylons, having travelled the galaxies are now enlightened, and are the 'good guys' and the humans get to play the antagonists :)
Finale ripoff of series finale for hitchhikers guide to the galaxy . Lot of cutting corners in this series . Plus a lot of the episodes felt filled material or some story arcs stretched too long. Kinda like how a fight in dragonball z would be stretched out over 3 or more episodes.
Trufax. The way Tricia explained it, too. I'm just sad Richard isn't here. It would be really interesting to see how big of an eye-roll news of another reboot would get from him. He'd probably try and consult on it actually.
@@SpockBorg5 , at least Dragon Ball Z fights WERE interesting.
Dragonball I enjoyed. This soulless fad I did not. Point trying to make classic battle star was an epic series that had a feature like quality to it. It had more meat on the bones in 1 season than the syfy reboot had during it's multiyear run. The reboot was nothing more than an oc in space.
Still the sexiest robot chick ever. Miss seeing her on my TV as the cylon

“Punch to the gut? We’re so sorry for you....” - The cast of 1978 BSG.
Although it is irony indeed, the first however was 25 years earlier, and didn't held up quality wise. While the 2000 battle... cgi still holds up, and finished a decade ago. Its just Hollywood running out of ideas and still milking the very dead utter of nostalgia.
@@aziizrocks She litterally said "Too soon". Or well, that it felt that way. And, I agree. Even if it is released, I will not watch it if it contains the same story, in a new package. It simply cannot be better, and as such will only be a Star Wars sequel failiure. No thanks.
As much as I'd love more BSG, from other ships and or eras... the problem is that the cast is whom made the story and the feel. And they simply cannot recreate that. So, sad to say, I hope they never revisit this. Do not tarnish it.
@@aziizrocks I agree 100%. BSG is at the pinnacle of what it could be. Either show new variations (other ships and stories) or move onto something new.. like Buck Rogers
@@sailingspark9748 I would love to see a good reboot of "Buck Rogers". Maybe "Space 1999" as well. Unfortunately Hollywood seems to be doing a crap job in that department these days. Best to leave it lie than to ruin it in a bad reboot.

Tired of “reboots”. That’s a Low I.Q. approach. Come up with new stories, original ideas, a continuation that builds on canon, not “reboots” it. Dumb.
Yes! I felt exactly that way back in 2004!
YES! Tell your own story, no need to take old shows and reinvent the characters. Tell the story of the people who were left behind, or a group fight the good fight back near Caprica. Re imaging it in the first place wasn't my first choice.
@MrTron I couldn't agree more. So, why did they use an existing name if they wanted to create a completely different show?
Same ip new show. Sam esmail isnt a sjw slacker either hes not afraid to tell the hard truth.

You should also watch the original 1978 version.
Tricia Helfer, one of the most impressive actors in the world! I've rarely seen an actor able to communicate such a vast range of emotions and personalities, from terrifying anger to subtile hints of uneasiness, badass warrior to tender mother, seductress, strong leader, funny girl, impulsive rebel, serious intellectual, religious fanatic...
Just in BSG, Helfer played so many different characters, yet I would recognize the character instantly only by her posture, her demeanor, voice modulation or facial expression. She even made me forget her BSG characters all had the se face lol, she was like a different actress in each role!
She has my utmost admiration.
Actor? Ok. Sure, Jan.
@@existentialhitman8702 *Actress. I thought in English actor was gender neutral. Who's Jan? The month?
In the video she refers to herself as an actor so woke bullshit score = 0; common sense = 1
That's great observations! Her beauty sometimes overrode her acting. You are quite correct in her multifle characterizations. I've watched series several times, alog with Razorm, Caprica and Blood and Chrome and feel like this series has the second greatest cast of all time, first being Firefly. I loved every single one of the people in the series. Ms. Helfer captured me for good when she shielded aius Baltar from the initial blast. Then she turns in ALL these otther performances for all the other versions of her. A great director for getting that nuance in,
Actress is the word you are looking for or can't you tell she's a woman?
Give us The First Cylon War or
Exodus from Kobol!!!

@@MrHusker1996 Yes, and it's sad that wasn't picked up for a full TV series
That's where Caprica was heading before short sightedness killed it prematurely
I just finished watching the 2000s version. We don't need another reboot when we already had a great reboot.
KamenSentaiMetalHero 2000 ..im also re-watching it..its perfect wished starbuck was a male hotshot than female
"Perfect reboot" is the phrase you were looking for. I think that BSG is the best Sci-Fi of the last 30 years. However The Expanse is amazing and Im torn between which I prefer. Currently BSG is in 1st spot but with more seasons to come The Expanse could edge ahead.
The female Starbuck was before this hyper SJW forced women role. And the female Starbuck was done excellently...
absolutely. If i need to see the story again I have the blurays
I hated the reboot,wasn't BSG to me at all
Loved every minute of it! My mom was fighting cancer during the entire series and we both watched it together. Great times!
Loved the show, hated the people. Not the actors but the characters. I was rooting for the cylons the whole time
Hopefully it'll be better than Caprica. I thought it wasn't really given a chance to hit its stride though.
I agree, Caprica was pretty boring until the last 4 episodes...then I wanted more.
@@tomrose8024 I really wanted Caprica to work
Byron Kennedy I liked Caprica as well, but I think their budget also hurt the show.
I liked Caprica a lot. Never got a chance to develop

They should never have canceled Caprica!
It was all about the money. Unfortunately,just not that many people watched it when it originally aired.
If Caprica had happened just a few years later Netflix might have picked it up. Such a shame.
Caprica was one Powerful and Heavy series! I think the topic matter may have been Too heavy, dark and serious for the audience at that time... I loved it and it certainly has that BSG intensity and vib but its more earthbound or more correctly Caprica bound!
Season 2 was going to include Chief Tyrol giving resurrection to Zoey.
Skip741 x I agree. Caprica had so much promise.
I think this series had one of the best endings to any series of all time. It was an amazing series with great writing that kept you invested in the characters from episode one till the very end. I think that the ending was very much a good ending, very few things were left unanswered and the end to the story marks a strong homage to the beginning of the story and the overall theme of the show. Unlike terrible endings to great shows like Game Of Thrones or Dexter, this series finale was the best serving, satisfying, and justified ending one could hope for.
Totally agree; and perfectly expressed.
I really liked the ending as well. The final season less so.
The 2004 masterpiece reboot will be very hard to match with today's woke trash culture. Just take a look at "Star Trek Duh-scovery", yikes!
Discovery started going into development dumpster fire hell tho so its not really surprising that it got so dopey.
Sam Ismail is beastmode so im really interested to see what he does. Id die if he rebooted Caprica because that (again) fell into a development dumpster fire with how SyFy(lis) treated it.
Let's give her 5 questions at once, then interrupt her mid answer and go in another direction then go back to the original first question let her finish answering then ask her a follow-up question to question #4, then ask her a question regarding her answer that they clearly didn't understand to confuse her and see what happens.
I want to see a series about the Lords of kobol and the fall.
+Bobby Coggins
Bobby what you will see instead is a show that will be used to push politics. It will have at its centre a boring LGBTQA story that will suck up all the air time. It will have lesbian women running around the place acting like men and last but not least it will make all male characters look like fools.
That is what you will get.

Nah, she aged. All women hit the wall pretty hard unfortunately, especially Caucasians, though I'm sure in her lifetime there will be genetic interventions to reverse aging. She's still the same on the inside though, which is all that really matters. Very lovely lady.
It also seems that young hotness keeps getting younger so I couldn't imagine Tricia one more playing a role such as she did.
Loved BSG. Getting a license plate for my Tesla based on it.
It's one of the shows that got me hooked on anything AI related.
She has aged it's plain for all to see, I didn't even recognize her and it took me a while to figure out what role she played.
🙄 Ok ok.....what I should of said, is she still looks fantastic.
Her performance as the Six model was AMAZING my childhood actress crush! Lol but the way she portrayed the model and had range with all of the individuals within the line, was STELLAR!
Sam Esmail said on Twitter it's not going to be a reboot. It will be a brand new story (I assume with new characters) just set in the same world.
Spread that info bruh. It's a spinoff
So.... it doesn't involve the ship Battlestar Galactica?
Joshua Howell probably not
The Cylon's are still out there. They could find Earth and start a whole new war with us.
Imagine 6 & Baltar wondering around broken and in despair as the Cylon's destroy what they created.
@@jdhowell916 Battlestar Galactica was a broken down warhorse before the attack. I wanna see the Colonial Navy in full plumage going fangs out on the Cylons
BSG's ending was coming from the beginning. Six literally SAYS she's an Angel of God in the first fucking season. People that hated the ending of BSG weren't really watching it.
Look at they lyrics of All Along The Watchtower, the script was written decades earlier by Jimi. No wonder the song was used in the final moments of the last episode.
the first FRAKKIN season
@@ericscottstevens All Along The Watchtower was written by Bob Dylan. The excellent Jimi Hendrix version was actually a cover.
Aside from Edward James Olomos and Ricia Helpher , the show was a stinking hot mess. Only overtaken by Star Trek Discovery.
@@chrisstarring2991 no no. Please. All of your taste is in your mouth. I never watch Star Trek Discovery so I don't have anything to gauge it by, but up until that point, Star Trek had absolutely nothing on BFG. BFG was Superior in all aspects. Storytelling, acting, twists and turns, surprise endings excetera better than anything I've ever watched on Star Trek before and I had been a trekker up until that point. A total trek freak but, I've hung up my phaser and badge. Give me exploding rounds and a steel plated deck any day.
I wanted more BSG spinoffs like Razor and Blood and Chrome
I appreciate the reminder of Richard Hatch being in Tricia's BG. Zarek was a tremendous character, brilliantly acted. Sure showed that he wasn't a campy '70s sci-melodrama actor (nothing but love for original BG, but it was a '70s style show). Anyway, he was truly legit, and I appreciated his zeal for continuing the original.
I was at a Con and had the pleasure to eat dinner with him and others and he was great. I told him, no offense but I HATE your character. He laughed and said, good, I am doing a good job. He was such a nice guy too.
@@leekilgore3728 That's outstanding! What a memory to get to have.
Plot twist: The original Battlestar Galactica was nonfiction.
Woah... How do you know?
@@beereel4013 bull crap
Johnny Brist No he’s right, the original showrunner was a mormon and he used that in it!
So was Stargate.
This has all happened before...
"All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again... Only much shittier, and for the cash grab. So say we all!"
Just think how much better this version was than the original. Let's not pretend they didn't do it for the cash.
Nah, I don't believe it's just for the money. Sam Esmail is AMAZING and I can totally see him being a fan. What he just did with Mr. Robot was awesome, so I have faith he'll do really well with this. But of coooooourse they'll make money off of it too :P
😂😂😂
Right so you're referring to the Sci Fi series I assume, because apart from it being more action packed I guess you could say, it got redundant with always having cylon terrorists as the main story line. The acting was also not good. The play at being sexy also failed. Too many cliches, the list goes on. I think a hybid of the original and the Sci Fi series would be good, but a new version of the Sci Fi series is a BAD idea!
@@johnedwards1968 This version was in no way better than the original, it was just different and enjoyed the ability to be more visually stunning because of advances in CGI. In fact it wasn't nearly as imaginative as the original in many ways. I like them both but in my opinion the original had more impact and told a better story.
God I loved this version of BSG... I own all of it. Whether they truly reboot it or not, this will always be the definitive BSG for me. RIP Richard. Love to Tricia... Where's a link to her podcast??
Just search for battlestar galacticast in your podcast app
(It’s an audio podcast)
There is going to be a new reboot of BSG with new cast but yeah it will be hard to beat the cast of this version
I am 48 so as a kid I watched the original in 78 I loved it I was 7 years old Robots spaceships almost every episode was wrapped up in an hour. When the newer series came out in 2004 I was just stunned. They made it into one amazing series the cast changes the plot changes, they gave it so much more depth rather than your standard shoot'em up humans vs robots series. Edward James Olmos did a fantastic job as Adama and I absolutely love Lorne Greene... I watch that series over and over whenever I can, I really do not think I can watch the Reboot as soon as it comes out I will have to give it some time. To me the second series was perfection where do you go from there?
So strange, quality out of the blue in the day and age of quick cheap buck. You got a really nice and dramatic surprise. Great writers, It's very close to the time of the big writer strike as well. I would be wary of another reboot since the bar has been set nice and high.
The 2004 series was suspenseful, but reflecting on it the plot was almost always the same, too much overacting, too much sex added for no reason, too many cliches, etc.
Same age and totally agree. I will watch from a distance but I fear it will be political propaganda.
I will admit, the biggest part I disliked of the 2004 show, was they made the Cylons a human creation. Ugh, that destroyed the BSG universe and made it blah. Add in what I call the shaky camera and to this day can barely watch it without screaming at the camera to stop zooming in and out. So annoying and honestly takes me right out of the scene.
I loved the original as a kid. My punishment if I got in trouble was no Battlestar for that week, I was devastated. But don't rewatch it. You will shatter your rose tinted glasses, it doesn't hold up well.
BSG is still alive, watched first watch through in 2018 and fell in love with every facet of it, the music, cinematography the lot and I'm excited for the new as it seems it's going to be set in the existing universe of The 04 reimagined BSG Tricia was in
Shes still so hot , also the show concept of " weirdo guy with hot woman " was such a great acting roles.
You need to get out more.
sarcasm?
Gaius ballad had his moment. He's a slimeball. LoL
Last I saw, Tricia was doing Hallmark Channel Christmas movies.
She's not hot, dude you're deluded!
Bit of a clickbait title there. Tricia's answer starts with that, but in the end she has a completely different take on the reboot that's more complicated than that.
I loved the ending of the new BSG..Why do so many people hate it?.I honestly dont get it..They found Earth,Roslin died,and the cycle may be doomed to repeat.Except for maybe Starbuck disappearing..WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE??
I always felt that there was way too much human on human infighting in the "new" BSG. It's like the writers kept having to be reminded that the Cylons were the enemy. And I NEVER approved of the "human" Cylons. That was just a cop out so they could minimize the number of cg Cylons and not have to come up with a workable Cylon costume for actual people. Initially I'd been exited when I had heard that an all new BSG was coming out. But once it got rolling, I was seriously disappointed.
People cannot handle ambiguity
Wait, wait, they’re regurgitating BSG? Oh, sorry, they’re reBOOTing BSG. Whatever, it’s still a bad idea as long as you can REWATCH Moore’s BSG.
Ummm...does her husband/boyfriend/whatever ask her to wear the RED DRESS? "Just once, please?"
🤣🤣🤣
There's only one Woman in Red Dress
It got sold at auction after the show ended, it was in the props catalog
mulattoman the dress is on display at the Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP) in Seattle.
@@zodiacprime Neat, although I have the auction guide from the show on hand, and its in there, I'm assuming there's at least several copies of it
Well now you know how all the fans of the original BSG from 1978 have felt when the 2004 series came out ...
All 14 of them
Now you know how those of us who liked the original felt when V 2.0 came along.
Tricia Helfer: "A new BSG feels like a punch to the gut"
Birk Benedict(1970's Starbuck): "First time?"
70s battlestar sucked. I quit watching episode 3
@@mitchellsmith4690 GINO sucked from the time it was first conceived in Ron Moore's hack brain.
@@mitchellsmith4690 bloob.
Haha
@@mitchellsmith4690 o really dude? I doubt if you even really watched it.
At least it is more logical and internally consistent than this 2004 travesty ..
1978-79 cast went through it. This cast will face it too. Studios like “owned” IP than new creations
I'm deeply sorry about Hatch tough. He fought for original, he fought for Star Trek: Axanar ....
And now the BSG cast knows how Richard Hatch first felt in 2003. That being said, I loved both versions and look forward to seeing what they come up with next.
I watched the original series as a kid so it was kinda touching to see the late Richard Hatch be involved in the later BSG too. Wonder if Dirk Benedict was asked to take part…
@@symbiat0
Dirk Benedict(Starbucks) died alone on a planet after crash on to it. Then he has sex with a supreme being and she delivery that baby (star child, if i remember that name correctly) to Galactica.
@@xbman1 Im assuming if Dirk Benedict had taken part, it would have been a completely different role just like Richard Hatch.
@@symbiat0
I was sadden how Starbucks ended in the original Galactica series.
@@symbiat0 Dirk hated the Moore series and was quite candid about it.
Maybe she feels like the original cast felt when they found out their show was getting the "gritty reboot" treatment.....
Know what I love? The fact that there is still a text chain among the actors from BSG. They're all working on different projects but can still reconnect in a moment. (It's a bit more personal and direct than Facebooking each other).
Same I'm quite surprised they kept in touch after all these years
A text chain, damn I'm getting old, but I love that.
As grumpy as Richard Hatch was at first. And he really, really was. (She's understating it somewhat) The BSG family ended up being the pride of his career. He really loved everyone so much. It's hard to overstate the love that went into that show from, quite literally, every single person from producers to the craft services. The Expanse has really taken up the torch. It's a beautiful thing.
Dirk Benedict felt the same way.
I loved the ending of 2004 battlestar.
TheLifesentence2278 same here.
I what see a reboot of old battlestar from the 1970s,that the one they should do the old battlestar
They can't. Richard Hatch owns all the rights to it. Or rather his estate does.
@@GradyBroyles richard hatch does not own a thing. if he did we would have gotten a great battlestar galactica show instead of gino.
Nope, he doesn’t have the license, he was just the author of five original BSG continuation novels and he paid to have a trailer made called BSG: The Second Coming (with as many of the original cast that could or wanted to do it) to show proof of concept how the original could be continued as well.
@@AC-gb7do After the original show was over, no other material for the original version but Richard's that could be adapted really existed, was my point. Yes there was other fan fiction, but none of it connected in any way to the actual production than Richard's. If anyone was to try and make a continuation of the original series, Hatch's material is literally all there is. I didn't mean he owned the rights to the franchise IP. but that he owned all of the post-series writing that was ready to be made. He had several screenplays written. I saw only one of them, And he most certainly kept the web domain despite rather intense pressure from SyFy to get up off of it. I know because I was one of the web designers for it.
But, Richard had a whole other sci-fi project in the works called "GWOM" (that's all I think I should say about it) that after working on the new BSG, he was pretty much focused on. I was super excited to be working on interactive media demos to help shop the project. Alas, he didn't get to see it through.
Grady Broyles I’d have loved to see his trailer lead to a continuation of the original BSG with a decent budget on film or even a limited series like Farscape got after the series ended.
nice to hear how invested Tricia is in the concept of the show and what it means to the fans.
They all were, especially Olmos. I’ve not seen such dedication except from the cast and crew of Firefly and The Expanse (most notably Cas Anvar, who pulled all sorts of tricks to get Bezos to pick it up).
Ones of those shows that made you feel like you lived thru that life. I felt like I lost a part of me when it ended. Show got you emotional invested.
IMHO this is the highest quality scifi show there has ever been.
It's great but you have to watch The Expanse.
It was...until the Expanse came along.
I was just gonna say the expanse takes the grit of bsg too the next level.
I've been following The Exapanse from the beginning as a book series. The tv show is good but BSG is better.
Stargate universe is on the same level of quality as BSG just in case you dont know about it.
I would love to see her taking a rule in Amazon's The Expance!
Anyone agree's?
Mary McDonnell as Avasarala; Katie Sachhoff as Bobbie; Grace Park as Naomi; Who would Trish be? Drummer?
Oh yea!
Julian Wells oh please no. I know you’re theorising but I can’t see Mary McDonnell dropping f bombs. But they’re such great actors and it would be great to see them in upcoming seasons
A rule? ;-)
@@julianwells4055 Plenty of new characters get introduced all the time, why actor swap the existing ones? It was bad enough when they changed Arjun and he doesn't even have that many scenes
Helfer played so many different versions on her roles and did it with such emotion that I'm surprised she didn't have a much bigger career. Great actress, BSG was an awesome set of movies / series.
All of this has happened before and it will happen again
haha good one.
*Richard Hatch has entered the chat.
Like seriously he had the same reaction when they announced the rdm reboot..
ALL OF THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE, AND WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.
The Baltar/6 moments were the best parts of Galactica, I wanted so much more of them interacting.
I love that her and Katee Sackoff are close friends in real life still.
1st cylon war should be the only new show.....i wants it
Learn that Star Wars, Battlestar treatment of women characters, badass, flawed, epic, weak, strong, was great and showed real talent and respect
Yep. That's what I keep saying.
They won't learn... they've proved that... we've voted with our wallets and they're still piledriving that franchise into the dirt.
@David Stairs I agree to a certain extent, there's degrees of stupidity with extremists... just because one liberal dyes their hair pink and starts anti-male diatribes, doesn't mean all liberals feel the exact same way. One thing I've learned over the years, hold no expectations of people.
The new generation of BSG female characters will be man hating and the men will be used to promote LGBTQA. And it will be boring as hell.
@@bighands69 I hope not. Esmail hasn't done that with mr robot
She is so astoundingly beautiful on the show and looks like a normal, approachable person when not dressed up. It's easy to like her.
You can never duplicate BSG it was beyond an epic story line. The cast was beyond epic.
Your intelligence is far, far blow epic
@@Pugiron Oh dear. It never looks good when a commenter tries to question someone else's intelligence but makes a basic spelling mistake.
You mean triplicate? The new series would be the third BSG series.
Oow, someone needs attention, don't they. @@pauldavis5665
Ironic, the reboot Galactica cast feeling cheesed off at a third reboot... everything new becomes a thing of the past... 🤷🏾♂️
Yea it's weird to have some ownership of a show that had 4 seasons and ended a decade ago. I'm surprised she hasn't moved on.
Perfect time to relaunch BSG, now get Terminator special fx teams on board, make it look like it always could've. (Not knocking the show at all tho, that show aged very well even in 2019 worth rewatching)
She has moved on so what are you talking about? Just listening to her talk about the show and those involved it is clear everyone has moved on. Being asked your opinion and answering the question isn’t the same as “not moving on”, it’s just answering the question.
That's the eternal question, isn't it? How soon is too soon to reboot? And it's always different. And of course, there's the difference between a reboot, a revival/sequel and a spinoff, which always get mixed up in the press. It's not even about time. If it were, the Ghostbusters reboot would have made sense, but a legacy torch passing sequel was always the logical next step for that particular franchise (and now that's happening and some of the Ghostbusters reboot cast isn't happy about it). I wouldn't know what the best thing to do with BSG would be, having not seen the original and having not finished the reboot (to no fault of the show; I just lost track of it), but it's easy to infer anytime something gets rebooted that someone is saying the previous version doesn't hold up, which is hard to take if one thought it was timeless.
@NihlusGreen And nobody in this video said anybody was upset after he said that. I would not be even a little bit surprised if the first reports did say it was a reboot, because entertainment journalists don't know what that word means and use it to describe everything.
I watched all of BSG when it first hit Netflix in 2009 after it aired, and remember it being amazing, and when I picked up the Blu-rays I started rewatching them with my neighbor - who's like my little sister, and both of us really enjoyed it because its very relevant still.
What is amazing, she had no acting experience before BSG, and she nailed it. I thought they had a great cast overall, top to bottom. I think alot with Edward and Mary having the big time experience they had, and the younger actors could learn from them.
I didn't know that. In the mini series and at least part of s1 I remember thinking she doesn't seem like a highly trained actress, and by the end of s2 I thought I must have had bad judgement, because as her story developed she really showed some chops. Amazing that she could pick it up on the job.
they need to get bear mc reary back on the line. he just made so much more out of it
Hear, hear! So true.
I think they need to find a new composer. It needs to feel like something totally new, have its own feeling.
@@Edbrad you are probably right, although the new one would have to make an insane job to come up with what mc'reary did. Some people would argue that moovies/shows stand and fall with their music and i would love to see bsg back in his hands but they said it is gonna be something new so, lets hope for the best. From my point of view, the music can really decide on how the moovie is gonna come out, immagine a starwars moovie with rap or hiphop(i love em, they just dont match sw) , nah you need something classical mayby even something spacy. Also the music can help deliver parts of storrytelling or like in the chase of carra (sorry ill misswrite her name but i cant remember) remembers be a part of it (i just love that part xD), therefore audiodesign should be on par with visuals
She should have been cast as Cersei Lannister.
@Faravahar We honestly thought she would be, when they were putting the first season of GoT together. Seemed like an obvious pick. Although Cersei was supposed, in later books/seasons to be about to hit the wall..
Lena played a great Cersei though
She could have done it, but I reckon Lena Headey was still the right choice.
Although given that they did a gender swap on Doctor Who, Trish would have been a very suitable and credible choice.
Felice - hmm LH got the nastiness right but not the sexually manipulative nature of Cersei. Had some great lines though.
"I CHOOSE VIOLENCE"
@@AlternicityBlogspot reading the first book now and I picture Cersei as Mia Malkova for some reason. Everyone is younger in the books.
Why would you reboot this masterpiece?
Sam Esmail is a huge fan of the Reboot by Moore, the re-imagined Battlestar he said would be messing with perfection, so he is going with a new story.
thank the frakking gods
"All of this has happened before..." can connect multiple versions of the same story in the same universe, from a different time.
Its going to be 21 year old gen z millenial disaster. Of feminist agenda bullshit
Good to hear
Sam Esmail directed Me Robot which I love. I have no doubts this new BSG is gonna be epic.
The ending of the ORIGINAL Battlestar Galactica(1979) was AMAZING.
No social media?? It was HEAVILY debated by all of us nerds on MySpace!
Imagine how much of a gut-punch it was for the people who watched the original series from the 70's having to see the re-boot of 2004?
The difference of course is how much time had passed.
You don't need to imagine, I can tell you. I loved the original. The TV show was one of my all-time favourites. I loved the design throughout the show/movie, I loved the characters, I loved the story, the peril, the danger, the desperation of their survival. Loved it all. But, perhaps unlike others, and perhaps unlike me with other reboots, I was open-minded. I knew that sci-fi could be done better than the original Battlestar Galactica; my love for it wasn't out of a belief it was science fiction perfection, but that it just did so much that I enjoyed.
Ultimately I ended up loving the new show more than the old. They're two different shows. They're so different comparison feels like comparing the best of Star Wars and the best of Star Trek to me. Coincidentally both have some completely unwatchable TV shows! So in that respect loving one doesn't affect my adoration of the other. It's not necessary to have to choose which is better, or why one is more outstanding than the other.
To take another example; Bond. There are actors who've played the character that I absolutely adore. And there are some that are straight up not 007 to me. A strange situation here is that this doesn't detract from me remaining open-minded about each individual movie, and in fact I love one of the movies while refusing to accept the actor as the character. I think the acceptance of, or upset at reboots comes to down to personality and attitude towards entertainment. I want to love every single show or movie I ever watch. If I suspect, or the second I decide something isn't for me then I'm done with it. I don't care how popular something is (although everything I've referenced of course is pretty popular), and I don't care to watch anything that I don't get a high(ish) level of entertainment from.
To clarify what likely appears to be an incredibly open-minded, amazing attitude. One of my favourite movies, Star Wars, will be remade one day. I will watch it, and it's easy for me to assume that I'll hate it! But as I will go in knowing it wasn't made for me, or my generation, and I'm already prepared to give up instantly if it proves unbearable, I'll approach it with the same attitude I had towards the Battlestar Galactica re-imagining. I'll want to love it, I'll give a chance, and if it proves unbearable, I'll stop watching. I will always have the original. But I hope to have both, when that day arrives! That's kind of a poor choice as I only love the original movie, and my attitude towards the rest actually make me pretty immune to the horrendous state that franchise is currently in.
So, for me, the new Battlestar Galactica wasn't a gut-punch. Quite the opposite. It was a stunning gift; a wonderful piece of entertainment, that actually improved on the original in an unexpected way. And I hope those that were insulted by the remake just ignore it and await the next incarnation, and likely upset!!!
Huge fan of the original show. Really a good "reboot" would pick up the story of the freed centurions developing into the all robot race that the Glen Larson version had. (And the original cast are now the Lords of Kobol possibly.) Because all this has happened before, and all this will happen again. Just not identically, because history never repeats - it rhymes.
The show Tricia was in was the reboot lol.
Leave the original series out of the GINO universe.
@@brego129 true - I was imprecise. :-) I meant the reboot mark 2.
