It really is, and it honestly reveals a lot about James Callis's Baltar vs John Colicos's Baltar. John Colicos's character sold out his colonies on his own choice for the aspiration of becoming the one in charge of the survivors. James Callis's Baltar's one fault was his conceit that bringing androids back was the right thing. Beyond that he didn't have grandiose ideas nor did he want to see humans killed. But his conceit was what trapped him into the Cylons' plan and made him their hostage. He was trapped in the idea he was responsible for the fall of the colonies because of 6's actions, and he was in full panic mode from that point on. At worst, he was an accessory, not the instigator. And Lee was right about New Caprica's capitulation. Baltar's surrendering saved lives as the Cylons would have bombarded from orbit until surrender was given. I am rarely a fan of changing a character when retelling a story, but this time it worked, and I liked it.
it was actually a thing between him and Edward James Olmos. Ed found out that Jaime was doing an american accent to be more like him on screen to he decided to wear contacts during the series to more match Jaimes natural eye colour
I loved him calling Roslin out during the court scene and she was smiling thinking she still likes that kid, because she knew he was right. She knew quite well they had to do a lot of unforgivable things to get off of New Caprica. It just took someone to help her realize how hypocritical they were to be putting Baltar on a cross for what he did, which didn't even compare. She definitely wouldn't be as good a poker player as Lee's old man.
What about the time when he negotiated with Zarek on the prison ship? When he shot the man running the black market? When he blew up the asteroid refinery? When he took his last look at the Pegasus CIC before sending the ship on a suicide plunge into a basestar?
Well they never explained why it happened so you could argue that he was demoted from Commander back to Major. That's two ranks. Pretty solid blow to him if you are looking for something to make it feel more logical
@@anthonygonzalez2897 actually three ranks, since Lieutenant Colonel, but he never was a Colonel or Lieutenant Colonel so it doesn’t matter much. He was brought back to major because you know, there was NO SHIP FOR HIM TO COMMAND ANYMORE, it’s common sense
The ENTIRE "New Caprica" sequence reminds me exactly of Cowslip's Warren. "It feels like mist. Like being deceived, and losing our way." Exactly my thoughts when they approached this place (in the 'mist' of space, no less).
Well put. That place felt worse to me than Efrafa. At least in Efrafa, there were rabbits who still felt hope and had fight to them. New Caprica really was a place of no hope, no fight. For those who did find the fight, half the battle for them was keeping themselves to the task. The struggle to actually force themselves to keep at it.
Yes. I wish I could corroborate by some lore, but I swear, New Caprica is a combination of Clowslip's Warren and Efrafa, and that the writers did it. I can't find a single line staing that, but the similarities are SO obvious. Including, the EXODUS.
Jamie is actually British. His American accent is perfect id never would have known he is British. Plus the Baltar defence speech was praised by his fellow actors as being some of the best acting they’ve seen.
So, his best moments are: * his court case speech (which is yeah his best moment) * getting promoted (for being the son of the admiral) * getting shot * getting congratulated for... Well without context, not much According to the video, his best moments aren't: * final episode wanting to explore, choosing not to build a city * standing up to the president in an attempt to stop the coup * making the tough Olympic carrier decision * Battle at the Cylon mine s1??? * His (controversial) Pegasus sacrifice?????? (Or his choices in Razorback)
Coloneal tigh should have been promoted to commander before captain apollo, Coloneal tigh organized and planned the resistance on New Caprica and a lot of people were rescued through his efforts and sacrifices..
And Tigh almost started a civil war in the fleet with his actions towards Roslin. Its cool that he realized his mistake before anything coulr actually happen; but those actions in and of themselves are solid proof he wasnt fit for full Command.
I love Lee and think he's one of the best characters but whoever put one of his top moments as being shot by Starbuck is a genius. Perfect metaphor 😂
Only OGs remember when this was uploaded erroneously as "Episode Title" with the description simply being "short description". 😂😂😂
I was feeling deja vu watching this lol
The Court scene was incredible. Loved Jamie Bamber as Kennedy in Hornblower.

I really like Jamie Bamber, the actor. I was very surprised to discover he’s British however and this role was his American accent.
it was actually a thing between him and Edward James Olmos. Ed found out that Jaime was doing an american accent to be more like him on screen to he decided to wear contacts during the series to more match Jaimes natural eye colour
He plays very well as Lt. Archie in the TV Series Hornblower, as well, you'll be glad to hear. Top-rate actor.

They used to advertise that, and it was true.
No fr, best and most accurate advertising ever.
Hell of an actor !! Thanks f your performance! Few of your kind in the industry!

I love BSG I miss watching it so much!
his ability to go from thin lee to fat lee back to thin lee again was astounding. 😄
What about the time when he negotiated with Zarek on the prison ship? When he shot the man running the black market? When he blew up the asteroid refinery? When he took his last look at the Pegasus CIC before sending the ship on a suicide plunge into a basestar?
I missed the part where he sacrificed Pegasus to save a battered ancient warship and had absolutely no repercussions for that whatsoever.
its not about the spaceship, but the people he cared about

It was all part of “the plan”.
Just go with it… 🤷♂️
Romo Lampkin’s best moments please

Romo Lampkin’s best moments would be good
Underrated character fr
It is my honest belief that, if Dee lived, she and Lee would eventually reconcile and grow back together.
This pales in comparison to the great Episode Title of season X.
Best moments and you didn't include his suicide plunge into the Cylons aboard _Pegasus_ ?
Short Title - Episode Description?
LOL you need to go back and throw in a few more scenes buddy. lee adama has had more than these 3 moments.
So, his best moments are:
* his court case speech (which is yeah his best moment)
* getting promoted (for being the son of the admiral)
* getting shot
* getting congratulated for... Well without context, not much
According to the video, his best moments aren't:
* final episode wanting to explore, choosing not to build a city
* standing up to the president in an attempt to stop the coup
* making the tough Olympic carrier decision
* Battle at the Cylon mine s1???
* His (controversial) Pegasus sacrifice?????? (Or his choices in Razorback)
The red head lady is from OUTA
Episode Title. Short Description.
If you had ounce of that reasoning for Gaeta... and you forgot loosing capital ship
MUCH better title, lol.
Coloneal tigh should have been promoted to commander before captain apollo, Coloneal tigh organized and planned the resistance on New Caprica and a lot of people were rescued through his efforts and sacrifices..
And Tigh almost started a civil war in the fleet with his actions towards Roslin. Its cool that he realized his mistake before anything coulr actually happen; but those actions in and of themselves are solid proof he wasnt fit for full Command.
