@@battlestarmarc And Baltar realizes that the voices are the same even though that "voice would have to have been transcribed into a machine leader a thousand yahrens ago."
Yes the Late Patrick MacNee did a great job is the voice of the imperious leader and count iblis. Jonathan Harris of Lost in space was terrific as the voice of Lucifer
@@rodscarbrough2337 they sure did the late Richard Hatch explained during a interview one-time the actors that played the cylons were 6 ft 6 inches tall.
'Truce?' John Colicos looks to the Centurions to see if he heard the Imperious leader correctly in a 'is it just me or did he say,truce' way. What a trooper.
As a kid I thought Lucifer was the most scary Cylon of them all. I thought he was so evil, he would eliminate Baltar as soon as they walked out that door.
Lucifer was the same model as the Imperious Leader. Call it a class system if you like, but I thought their series, the I.L. series, were the administrators of the empire.
Apparently, John Colicos was around to see the Galactica re make and said something to the effect of "Damn I wish the Cylons were that good looking when I was around"
Well, he was about to be executed. Then a new Imperious Leader sends two Centurions to literally drag him back to be interrogated…again. I really don’t think Baltar had time, or even presence of mind, to choose matching colors schemes…..
I had the pleasure of meeting Herbert Jefferson Jr. at one of the old I-Con conventions that happened at Stony Brook University... If I remember correctly, he told me that the heads of actors that played I-L series Cylons had their heads at chest-level. In essence, the head of I-L series Cylon was being worn by the actor as a hat. Many years later, I had the pleasure of meeting Dirk Benedict at the WinterCon Conventions that happened at Resorts World, NYC. Dirk was absolutely fantastic.
John Colicos played such a wonderful despicable worm that they couldn't go through with killing him and instead raised him to major antagonist for the whole series.
Great character, but it would have been better if he had a military background and was more competent. That would have made him a more formidable foe. As it was written, he was a merchant trader with no military experience.
Was the bloke who tortured an innocent man into confessing a crime he didn't commit so Henry VIII could do his wife in and shag another woman in Anne of the Thousand Days. Colicos played Thomas Cromwell, loyal servant of the King who later had him executed. Related to, but not a direct antecedent of Oliver Cromwell, who had Charles I executed.
Interestingly enough they did kill him off in the Feature Film Version of Battlestar Galactica. The Scene where he's Executed by the Cylons is also in the Marvel Comics Adaptation.
I think they actually killed and un-killed him twice - he was meant to die in the original pilot, and again in the follow-up serial "The Lost Gods of Kobol". But nope, he survives again, he was just too good.
There was another edited scene for the TV series. The leader says Baltar your time is at an end. The Cyclon starts to draw his sword. The leader then says No not here save him for public execution. The first leader is then killed before this takes place and the new leader comes in
There was also a thericial version of the TV pilot. In the movie they did kill Baltar. In the DVD box set there is a bonus disc that contains that scene and the production of that scene. John Colicos can be seen talking to Producer John Dykstra (out of frame) and the two actors playing the Cylons that were going to kill Baltar.
I had the theatrical release on VHS as a kid, which confused me when I saw the TV episodes. The only thing I could conclude is the Cylons would not tolerate a true human among them, so they decaptitated him and installed his head onto a humanoid Cylon body.
@@jamesmaybrick2001 I know about the DS9 appearances. Everyone knows. If you were a true fan, you would have pointed out the 3 ST-TOS Klingon commanders who made an appearance together, not just Kor. 🤔
This was so cool. 1) Go look up the original Star Trek episode 'Errand of Mercy" John Colicos the actor that played Baltar played s a Klingon called Kor it was epic. 2) Then Lucifer was voiced by Jonathan Harris AKA Dr Smith. How cool was this
@@whiteknightcat Yep I have seen several of his interviews seemed like a good guy who enjoyed what he did. He was also the Praying Mantis in A Bugs Life
Oh he played Kor! I thought he looked familiar! He also appeared as Kor for several episodes in Deep Space 9! He had some amazing performances in those too and must be watched. DS9: Blood Oath, DS9: The Sword of Kahless, and DS9: Once More Unto the Breach.
@Three-Headed-Monkey the part of Kor was written with him in mind. Both Day of the Dove and The Trouble with Tribbles were originally written for Kor to be the antagonist but had to be re wrote because John Colicos couldn't make it. He became depressed over it because Kor was one of his favorite parts to play.
The plot of this epilogue was never implemented in the actual series. Baltar instead was sent to hunt down the fugitive fleet in the actual episodes and never mentioned a truce even when he did come face to face with Adama.
For those that don't know...this is the tv series ending of the pilot episode where Baltar lives... In the theatrical release, Baltar dies in this scene.
Memory says that like all the best productions they let your mind fill in the blanks. The Cylon drew its blade, held it high and then swung it down to an instant blackout. You knew what happened next and they didn't need to show it.
It suddenly occurs to me, that if what the new Imperius Leader is saying, then the ENTIRE SERIES is now a gigantic misunderstanding because the Cylons weren't out to kill the Galactica but Adama never received the memo on this new policy. It does make sense on the other hand why the Cylons didn't just send a full battle fleet to do to the Galactica what they did to the original colonial armada. The Cylons were trying to corral the colonials while the colonials thought they were fighting for their lives. Oops.
it's inconsistent because they only had most of the pilot and some of the mythology nailed down by the time the series began production. following lost planet of the gods they were more or less just making it up as they went along, so the various villains' motivations were kind of all over the place
Omnipotent. 🤔 To quote Inigo "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” Just because you beat humans doesn't make you omnipotent.
maybe hinting that the cylon have such a lack of creativty that they don't even assume the posibilty that they are more powerfull forces in this space sector...
Patrick McNee voice of the Cylon leader. I often wonder if a newer version of this series is made following the events of the original will they have an individual that sounds similar in tone to his voice? Whatever happened to that rumored series production I can't even find concept art of it online anyone have any information?
Then it is NO coincidence that the voice of the "Imperious Leader" is none other than Count Iblis. The fallen "Celestial" who chose chaos and darkness. He is also known as "Diabolis or Mephistopheles" in the Kobolian (TOS) Book of the Word. So for a time, he ruled the Cylon Empire. After taking the Satyrs (A race of half human half goat beings) and crashed and killed them on a lonely planet. Apollo recognized him and nearly died for doing so.
I thought the implication was Ibilis led the organic reptilian Cylons to their doom, offering something that led to their extinction. that's his modus operandi. (I think a comic book goes into the story, something about offering a cylon leader immortality and catch is the leader becomes an android)
I like the film verus of the pilot episode better. Baltor gets beheaded making the Imperous Leader far more evil. That saying I do like Baltor and Lucifer relationship. Properly Lucifer sometimes thinks; "Why am I working for this moron!"
People always get this scene confused because of the edit in Lost Planet of The Gods. In this version the new Imperious Leader wants a truce with the humans now that the Cylons are Omnipotent, which would suggest that the Imperious Leader has no desire to see the human race destroyed. In Lost Planet this part was taken out, for the more obvious story arc of The Cylons being the enemy. It probably would have been a much different Season 1 had the original Epilogue plot point been retained. It does however give insight to the Cylon Race by showing a new Imperious Leader and like the Centurions and IL Series they are programmed and not a living being, another plot point that was dropped in Lost Planet as well.
So was this the writers having a hard time making up their minds? Or was it like in Dallas where an actor changed his mind? Why did they pull the 'ol switcharoo?
In Lost Planet of The Gods this scene was edited to take out the reference that the Cylons had become Omnipotent and more tolerant and wanting to extend the hand of peace to the humans with Baltar being the one to send the message. Instead the re-edited scene just has the new Imperious Leader telling Baltar he has examined his epistle about locating the humans and assigns Lucifer to Baltar and a Basestar to continue the plot point of the Cylons still wanting to find and exterminate the Galactica and the survivors of the destruction of The Colonies.
@@northernstudioworks Except there is no reason to suppose the new Imperious Leader was any more inclined to spare the last remnant of humanity than his predecessor, despite all that folderol about tolerance being possible now that the Cylons were omnipotent. Baltar himself knows or very reasonably suspects the Leader is lying and says as much to Adama (yes, even granting that Baltar is not the most reliable witness to anything) and knows what is actually expected of him, hence his attempt to trick Adama into going along with his half-assed scheme to attack Cylon and seize power. Of course, an alternative possibility is that the Leader may actually have been initially inclined toward tolerance, then observed Baltar changing the object of his mission to annihilation of the surviving human remnant, thereby proving the previous Leader's point that humans were too unstable and treacherous to be allowed to live, therefore allowed Baltar to pursue the destruction of the Galactica fleet and even facilitated him in achieving that objective. If he succeeds, the human problem is solved and Baltar can then be killed once his usefulness has ended. And if he fails, he can be killed when Lucifer determines nothing more is to be learned from observing him and that his usefulness has ended.
Imperious leader, introducing Baltar to Lucifer. To the show lore, in espiode of (War of the Gods) Baltar met with Count Iblis( who is telhe show real devil,) noting the Iblis and Imperious leader voice sound the same. Some theories suggest Count Iblis was one of the Cylon gods and Imperious leader was to bear their god image.
The kids annual book released in uk does actually have the scene where you see them cut off this head. It was weird as The photo shows the centurion with sword with dummy head already being sliced off. Being a child you don’t realise what photo shows due no blood

But, over here you cannot show people things that are especially violent, gory, or morbid! And that is a good idea! But, you have children's stories that deliberately have decapitating people as a core part? Don't your children get traumatized and / or disturbed by being exposed to that?
@@TheNoiseySpectator Again like i said the photo used was not really that clear. Another example is transformers the comic series. They could get away with showing a robot have its guts hanging using oil as blood,
He's a Cylon, too, their leader. Their outer robotic bodies come in different forms, but they are actually aliens within them with something of a caste system and hierarchy.
He is a true Cylon, which was actually a flesh and blood sentient reptilian like race. They are the true builders and masters of the Centurians and the servant androids like Lucifer.
In the novelizations the Cylons are an insectoid race born with a primitive brain. Those to be promoted to Centurion get a second brain implanted, boosting their intelligence. The Imperious Leader gets a third brain implanted, making him the single most intelligent of his species.

He is a true Cylon, which was actually a flesh and blood sentient reptilian like race. They are the true builders and masters of the Centurians and the servant androids like Lucifer.
In the novelizations the Cylons are an insectoid race born with a primitive brain. Those to be promoted to Centurion get a second brain implanted, boosting their intelligence.
The Imperious Leader gets a third brain implanted, making him the single most intelligent of his species.
Better than the lame remake.
