It got silly though to the point of borderline stupid. As soon as the vipers blew past each other neither side firing a shot, the rules of battle had been set. There literally was nothing for the fighter jocks to stress over. They would have known they were not the target. I really didn't understand Caine's battleplan to begin with. If the goal was to take over the Galactica, she would have ordered Marines into boarding shuttles. The fighters would have only been support. In the original Battlestar Galactica the fighter jocks were also used as Marines. But that wasn't the case in this version. So where were the Marines to take over the Galactica? If the fighter pilots landed in the hangers, they would have never even made it out of their cockpits before being taken out by the Galactica Marines. The answer is simple. The story didn't allow for the more obvious battleplan. Had shuttles been in play, the Galactica fighters would have been ordered to destroy and disable the shuttles and a dog fight would have immediately commenced. So the writers best response was this ridiculous dog and pony display with characters making stressful comments as if they were in anything more than a dance between two opposing dance troops. It was bad writing as a result of a story scenario that didn't make a lot of sense to begin with and they were forced to write about and this was the best they could come up with. But the same could be said for the destruction of the Pegasus. The Galactica was the more obvious sacrificial lamb. But the show is "Battlestar Galactica". So the appearance of a second Battlestar had to be short lived. What happened to the Pegasus in the original made more sense than what happened in this version of the show. But the show needed drama so Caine had to mutiny and the Pegasus had to be sacrificed. Whereas the more obvious approach would have been no drama with chain of command, and the cyclons simply focusing all of their resources in one major fight where the fleet couldn't emergency jump before the attack commenced. Thus the Pegasus being the more obvious force defends the fleet and possibly perishes in the battle while the Galactica finally jumps with the fleet.
@@superdave8248 The battle plan is a game of chicken. Neither side was willing to take first shots and so deliberately antagonized one another hoping the other would shoot first, and allowing weapons free in self-defense. The difference is that Caine is hoping for a surrender via intimidation. This is all laid out in the dialogue and action. Tigh says, "We have to allow them to defend themselves." That's right, DEFEND. The game of literal viper chicken played by the two pilots shows that neither side truly wants to fight, but is looking for an excuse to start a slaughter. The pilots are positioning themselves perfectly for the moment they are given the command to fire. Sliding into kill zones, disorienting the opponents... it is full tactical combat without any firing. I agree with you that you really did not understand Caine's plan.
Starbuck: "Starbuck to all Vipers DO NOT FIRE I am a friendly" Stinger: (Literally seconds later) "Whose flying that stealth ship?" I can see why Admiral Cain demoted Stinger.
Idk who in the planet still posts these scenes and moments from the series, but in the name of everyone that still appreciates this, like myself, I really wanna thank you for still do this
@@johnspurrier0001I wish I could discover the show again. The blu-ray boxed sets must be quite cheap right now. BSG is honestly one of the best sci-fi shows of all time. I wish I could see "33" again with a fresh pair of eyes as it's one of the greatest televeision episodes of all time.
Gotta love how even in midst of "Chicken game Prelude to Civil War" between the two Viper groups of Pegasus and Galactica, the moment they get a threat to the fleet, the cut the BS and form up to take care of it.
Michelle Forbes did such an awesome job playing Admiral Helena Cain. She ramped up the viewer's hatred of her character from the first second we saw her until she was killed. Absolute god tier acting, as were the rest of the cast. It really helped sell the prospect of the two Battlestars going at each other like that. We don't see anything like it in this day of reality TV and effing Tik Tok. I can't see a remake of BSG being any better than this version, but if it's nearly as good I'll be pleasantly surprised.
@@jv-lk7bc Hollywood/mass media these days is all about remakes. They've run out of original ideas so they have to recycle successful ideas from the past. Some of these ideas actually pan out, the majority just go nowhere. It's all about raking in cash fast, then jumping ship when that fast money runs out and moving to the next recycled idea.
if they'd have only trusted that magnificent ensemble a bit more, instead of over-reliance on the Starbuck-is-the-best-at-literally-everything trope, it could have been the greatest t.v. cinema ever. Instead it's just some really good sci-fi cinema. Best viper pilot? Starbuck. Best Raptor pilot? Starbuck. Raid a jail freighter? Starbuck's the top Fleet Marine. Interrogate a captured cylon? Starbuck's the best psychologist too. Fly four-years back to Caprica to find an arrow and magically find your way back with it? Starbuck's the best interstellar magician. Gut a flying cyborg, and fly it's exoskeleton-husk back to space with a damaged suit? Starbuck. Fly a stealth ship no one's ever piloted? Starbuck. Need to raid a pleasure cruiser to rescue hostages? Starbuck's the best sniper ever. Need a cylon frakking, zombie to lead a junk cruiser on a mission to find Earth based on a dream? Wouldn't you know who won the pony: Starbuck. Towards the end, I began to wonder why they even kept the other actors around. Starbuck's so awesome, why not have her command the Galactica? Who needs Adama? And for civilian government? within 5 seconds, President Starbuck could mary sue a solution to everything that ails you. As far as cylon research? Who needs Baltar with his chemistry set, when Starbuck could just beat the answers from the universe itself. Unfortunatly, the writers allowed her to became the Chuck Norris meme, and then couldn't figure out how to write a meaningful conclusion for a literal GOD, so we got the old 'just beam her up to heaven'. Like Christ and Muhammed.
Space battles were kickin' in this show. Loved the sounds, the drums, the fighter launches, and how the capital ships could take a massive pounding. That Cylon fighter whizzing by sound is as iconic as Tie Fighters were in Star Wars.
Loved this show, I grew up in 70’s and 80’s this remake was well done. Some stuff was dumb but it had so much potential for spin offs and side stories.
I wish we could get a remaster of all the space scenes with updated graphics, it’ll never happen though unless an independent creator is passionate enough.
Pegasus have the guns, but can’t take as much of a beating that the Galactica can. As seen at New Caprica the damage the Galactica took would have destroyed other battlestars.
The Pegasus was a quarter bigger and easily out gunned and out armored the Galactica. The Mercury Class Battlestars were the top of the line, most advanced warships in the Colonial Fleet-It could easily take on 2 and a half Cylon Baseships, leaving them as smoking slag with minimal damage. Galactica could take on two and win, but with massive damage.
@@richlisola1 Adama even (begrundgingly) confirms this when confronted by roslin and cain. The colonial battlestars are absolute terror machines on the battlefield. Many magnitudes superior to basestars. But the galactica is old, stripped and wanting for pretty much everything. Hell, it has half of its original gun batteries and armor platings! Makes the whole struggle more palatable. The Pegasus is such a mighty warship it was capable of leading a longwinded assault on the cylons without being any worse for wear. It entered this war practically fully stocked, maintained and upgraded. I dont think this series would have worked if the galactica was as mighty as the pegasus. In a fight to the death between galactica and pegasus at that very moment when this standoff happened, the galactica would have been obliterated without putting up much resistance. When pegasus arrived it became the uncontested dominant force in the fleet. Attacking her was always suicide.
@@richlisola1 The Pegasus was an experimental boondoggle. Cain was given command to sideline her in an experimental ship that would never be more than a massive testbed, not a ship of the line. She was meant for fleet logistical support, given all of her manufacturing capabilities. She was big, but she wasn't a pure fighting machine.
Because the universe is kinda limited compared to something like star wars/star trek. In those 2 ex you can make stories with new characters in different time-periods that wont impact other shows and the universe will always fall back to a status-quo but with BSG it will always end one way, it will always go down to the flotilla and cylon vs colonials. At most we can have something about the first cylon war but thats about it. I love BSG to death but there isnt much you can do with its universe
@@SuperAerie I appreciate the perspective and it is a great observation. I guess I'm the weird one...... I've always enjoyed the battle scenes and storyline of BSG over Star Wars (which I also enjoy most of the time). Now I'm going to upset some people, but I think Star Trek is boring and flat out overrated. I don't get the fuss over that series, but nothing is for everyone.
I do find it amazing that throughout that entire fur ball, there was not a one mid air collision. Also a good sign of well trained pilots aside from the insta-murder formation after they get orders to intercept.
When I did the ADF test, I was acceptable all 3 pilot. I wanted air force photographer. There won't be that position available until someone Passes away. It is a fantastic position no-one wants to give up here. Nuts
"relieve adama so we can kill his ship and crew" "can I go to the back where you can't see me?" "yes" Like WTH? you have a prisoner and you leave them unsecured?
A lovely demonstration of why police hate responding to domestic violence calls. As soon as the outside actor comes in they are on the same team again.
Fav show of all time. Need a remake! But this Will always be the best, haha. I rewatch every 2;years. Weird only 4-5ish seasons. Cried the night it ended when I was 15/haha
This show made me realize Ensign Ro from Star Trek should have been either an admiral in Starfleet or the fleet commander of the Romulan armada, or something like that. Great acting in this show.
Which BattleStar is more powerful? I am aware that Pegasus is a newer design with production facilities for Vipers, but that doesn't automatically equal superior fire power....
From a pure fire power perspective, the Pegasus completely out classes the Galactica. However, if you get above the Pegasus and she does not have birds in the air, she’s pretty much toothless as she has no good firing arcs.
I actually wouldn't count on that; offensive and defensive capabilities are more like a game rock-paper-scissors here. We know that Cylon military doctrine favors guided missile barrages, which Galactica and Pegasus counter in different ways. Galactica has a thick coat of armor and can deploy a flak shield (by just lighting space on fire between itself and the enemy), but we know from some scenes that Pegasus' defense is electronic warfare based, with incoming missiles often being scrambled and detracted before impact. This is mirrored in real life. WW2 era battleships were heavily armored to be able to withstand direct hits. Modern warships lack this kind of armor, as missile-based warfare has also shifted defensive measures towards speed, maneuverability and electronic countermeasures. So there is a good reason to assume that Pegasus is going to lack the thick coat of armor Galactica brings to the table, which a capable commander could exploit by advancing to point-blank range. Which might very well be possible. This isn't an all out war. Galactica and Pegasus aren't playing cat and mouse all over the system; this is essentially two ships of the same battlegroup engaging in fratricide. Of course, Galactica doesn't seem to have any ballistic guns meant to engage a ship in a broadside maneuver. She is a carrier, her main weapons are her fighter complement and her nuclear arsenal. But if she did manage to get up close to Pegasus, she could bring her flak to bear, which on point blank range might be enough to seriously damage Pegasus. Of course, both ships would likely get irreparabely damaged that way. But at least it won't be as one-sided a fight as one might think.
So, as we saw that not all the human population in the 12 colonies were dead and the cylons left, does that mean that at least some of the colonies will rebuild themselves?
Although I absolutely loved the series, I found Kat insufferable. She's screaming her lines into her radio. Pilots, soldiers, police officers, sailors... are all trained to speak as calm as possible into the radio. Screaming like that into your radio makes sure no one understands what you are saying, as well as gives your squadmates a helluva an earache.
“X-Axis climb.” The x and y axes are used in space navigation, but typically in a three-dimensional coordinate system that includes the z-axis. In space, navigation often relies on a Cartesian coordinate system, where the x, y, and z axes represent different dimensions of movement and position. This is a fun little example of by BSG is kinda the gold standard for “soft” realism in sci fi.
As an Olde Bastiche who watched the Original....I at first dismissed the new version... Starbucks a Woman?...etc..never been so wrong!!...what a perfect updated Version!!!
Based on the angles and the way cain did right there. If adama just did not care and opened fire right at the moment their vipers launched. Pegasus would not have survived. No chance. Not against a jupiter sitting that way in a mercury or a minerva. Gotta use those bow chasers lol.
Why were they mad at each other? I thought the cylons were essentially hunting everyone to extinction. I'd think they would be happy to find another human ship to hang out with.
it was a stealth fighter, which does not appear on sensors. Cylons being machines, rely solely on sensors (with the exception of skinjobs) (Before you ask, the only reason it showed up on Galactica's and Pegasus dradis is because of the messaging with apollo)
@@user-ch1qv4qk4zthat and I believe the engines were on when she got close to the battlestars, whereas she only turned on the engines near the basestars only seconds before she jumped away
Not a shot is fired but the standoff between the two battle stars is still one of my favourite scenes of all time.
And one of the most tense moments as well!

Galactica and Pegasus aren't playing cat and mouse all over the system; this is essentially two ships of the same battlegroup engaging in fratricide.
Of course, Galactica doesn't seem to have any ballistic guns meant to engage a ship in a broadside maneuver. She is a carrier, her main weapons are her fighter complement and her nuclear arsenal. But if she did manage to get up close to Pegasus, she could bring her flak to bear, which on point blank range might be enough to seriously damage Pegasus.
Of course, both ships would likely get irreparabely damaged that way. But at least it won't be as one-sided a fight as one might think.
Love this 😊
Excellent stand off
❤ @4:45-5:10
Good description of a snadu
Sub- note: I'm just a passenger back here
all detonated up?
Anybody else notice that there are several mark II's in the shot of the pegasus vipers?
Still showing peacock in the Thumbnail. Will the series be back on the service again soon?
3:47 Joystick von Logitech ?
NICE!
How many decks does each ship have?
starbuck is such a baddie
What's really scary is when Cain said engage the enemy, She meant Galactica. Why else would she have recalled the fighters?
What are you waiting for!? Pull the trigger now!!!
I am in a possession of a stolen viper from battlestar galactica ...
I watch season 3 of mandalo because of Starbuck I watch Andromeda because of Starbucks. She's so beautiful
So, as we saw that not all the human population in the 12 colonies were dead and the cylons left, does that mean that at least some of the colonies will rebuild themselves?
Please don't stop uploading new videos 🥺
To be fair I think they've uploaded every popular scene by now 🤣🤣 aside from uploading entire episodes I don't know what else they could post
@@FullPlaythroughs lol that's true
Although I absolutely loved the series, I found Kat insufferable. She's screaming her lines into her radio. Pilots, soldiers, police officers, sailors... are all trained to speak as calm as possible into the radio. Screaming like that into your radio makes sure no one understands what you are saying, as well as gives your squadmates a helluva an earache.
Great editing. The director of photography needs to chill out with the pan, zoom, and shake.
Anyone know what what he says after Break right full power. Sound like excess 5 or something? 5:02
X axis 5, I believe
@@Eshanas Yea that sounds right thanks.
“X-Axis climb.” The x and y axes are used in space navigation, but typically in a three-dimensional coordinate system that includes the z-axis. In space, navigation often relies on a Cartesian coordinate system, where the x, y, and z axes represent different dimensions of movement and position. This is a fun little example of by BSG is kinda the gold standard for “soft” realism in sci fi.
Imagine how much better this show could have been. Or watch the original
As an Olde Bastiche who watched the Original....I at first dismissed the new version... Starbucks a Woman?...etc..never been so wrong!!...what a perfect updated Version!!!
Based on the angles and the way cain did right there. If adama just did not care and opened fire right at the moment their vipers launched. Pegasus would not have survived. No chance. Not against a jupiter sitting that way in a mercury or a minerva. Gotta use those bow chasers lol.
Why were they mad at each other? I thought the cylons were essentially hunting everyone to extinction. I'd think they would be happy to find another human ship to hang out with.
Cain kray kray
good
Onde a série esta disponível pra assistir? Não esta mais no prime vídeo!
Peacock in the US
Seems like they all have the same move, hard stop flip that sucker around. CGI has come ALONG way!
Se tiver algum BR lendo os comentários pelo amor de Deus me fala onde eu consigo achar BSG pra assistir online aqui no Brasil!!!
on my lead
please ditch peacock tv. i can't even subscribe. let netflix buy you. nbc is a TERRIBLE caretaker for this show.
Simple lang tanggalin lahat ng mga pulitiko lalo na ito 2 ito kasama mga pamilya nila kasi pansariling kapakanan lang ang iniisip nila!
unfortunately this was when the show hit its peak.
No videos in 2 months! :(
How did the Cylons not know that Starbuck was there?
They probably decided to use their sensors and DRADIS over the mk. 1 eyeball.
it was a stealth fighter, which does not appear on sensors.
Cylons being machines, rely solely on sensors (with the exception of skinjobs)
(Before you ask, the only reason it showed up on Galactica's and Pegasus dradis is because of the messaging with apollo)
@@user-ch1qv4qk4zthat and I believe the engines were on when she got close to the battlestars, whereas she only turned on the engines near the basestars only seconds before she jumped away
Might have been the radio transmitting that warned the Colonial ships.
That's the whole point of "stealth".

BSG ❤
Where's Faceman ?
Democrats v Republicans, then 9/11 happened and we got serious.
