Really wish Grace got more questions. Her portrayal of Boomer was one of the most tragic arcs of the entire show.
The moderator needed to spread the answers.
@@ciaran3207 The moderator absolutely failed in her job.
What? Boomer was played by Herbert Jefferson.
I loved her as Athena ❤
Beautiful woman. BEAUTIFUL hair.
BSG really has raised the bar not just for sci-fi, but for entertainment in general. A standing ovation is the very least it deserves...bravo
The expanse may be at the same level. But this show.... Breath taking!
SSWA
@@dickwans I have a problem with the Expanse in that, I never really got as 'connected' to the characters as with Firefly, BSG, Star Gate. It tried to get depth but still really hasn't imho.
@@krosse9692 Hi after you comment I habd to ash myself which character in the expanse made me love it and the first that pops out of my head are Chrisjen Avasarala and Josephus Miller. After those two I have Anderson Dawes (because of what he did in Fringe) and Fred Johnson (because of the wire)
And now I blame you for the fact that I'm watching the Expanse and BSG again so yeah thank you for that 🙂
Great that James Callis came to this event in character...
I love how proud Mr. Olmos is of Battlestar. Awesome!
It's the greatest space series ever created. It's so well writen nothing of the genera can come even close to battlestar galactica's level
@@joaquinvigara1356perhaps the greatest series period
I love that Edward (aka Eddie) and Mary still have that great chemistry ! Love you guys forever !
Didn't realize Edward J. Olmos gave a Patrick Stewart esque speech to the cast to take it seriously. Interesting for sure, a real captain/admiral/commander move!
How the hell are they not aging? Mary McDonnell looks absolutely STUNNING
Plastic surgery....
they are frackin cylooons
So say we all!
no she does not!
@@agfagaevart ROFL Yes she does :D. But then I am probably a lot close to 60 than you are :)
My favorite BSG moment is actually a Baltar one: when he chokes up at the end after telling Caprica that he knows about farming. It's kind of a full circle moment about how much each character has changed and ended up by the end of it all.
It was his story really.
@@mullcrumthesage6303 I disagree. This story has many stories within them. Look at the story arc of Tigh, what he goes through. The madness of Galen and the amount of times he was simply put, disgarded or shat on. There is Kara who had a journey of understanding her destiny and not being forgotten. There was Bill who did what any military leader should, he took charge and tried to keep the men and women intact for the journey while also developing ties with his son, daughter in law - and his to be wife, had she not died. Boomer went from human, to sleeper agent, to cylon who wanted to forget who she was previously, back to her Adama promise. Hera, with parents. There is obviously also the story of Baltar and Caprica 6, but at the end of the day, this show really does not just follow A story. It follows 20 sum people in their daily story during a purge event such as the flood in the bible.
Personally, I'd like to think that the story starts and stops with Galactica. Everyone else was just a guest, along for the ride.
God damnit, I love this show. Just now 1h ago finished watching it again with my girlfriend, whom also enjoyed it. Now I just know I gotta give it 10 another years for another watch, so some emotions can build up anew. Like hearing that first "Ongoing cylon attack" where Tigh thinks they're busting Adamas balls.
top 5 moment, for sure, the best part of the finale
very similiar and great scene was in Magicians when Elliot admit he's coming from farmers family and he knows what to do :D
I loved that scene... How much he hated that he was from "farming" planet his whole life, changing his way of speech just to sound elegant and not "lowlife" farmer... Also, I think he fell in love with Caprica when she found retirement home with a garden for his father. That moment when he understood that him being a farmer and know how to do it is what will really help him and Caprica... Not all that science with which he wiggled his way out of danger
Admiral Adama simply walks into Mordor...
Yeah.
He would take that bunch of 12 warriors and would simply walk into Mordor
Nah he drops in with the Adama Manuever
He slams Galactica down on the atmosphere above Mordor.....
I need to see this crossover
@Ed Sev the original version of bsg is absolute trash
The greatest show ever put to television. Now I have to watch the whole thing again thanks for that.
Yes, it was the greatest show on TV! But I don't recognize any of these people.
Got 100+ hours?😎
@@ThomasWilliamMusic Got the whole box set habibi; it's the only reason I kept the DVD player lol.
Surprised there was no mention of having Richard Hatch (aka original Apollo) as part of the crew. Played a great counterpoint role to Mary's Madam President. He was also personally very instrumental in trying to revive/continue the BSG legacy.
RIP Richard.
He was the crusader fighting for battlestar for years.
so say we all
His involvement just sent this show over The Top + the photo of the 2 Starbucks at Starbucks
This was the highest point for the SciFi Channel. Excellence in production, acting, sets, costumes, F/X, writing, lighting, music, everything.
horrible CGI, shaking cameras and everyone mumbling in the dark. terrible. The Original 78 BSG was so perfect.
I like the original, but the reboot was significantly better.
BSG was truly ahead of its time.
it's14 years old
I'd agree for the original BSG. The 2004 version not so much.
yes and even that show was better than 2004 Battlestar!! @trha2222
You're right on!! Original BSG was groundbreaking, hopeful, funny, exciting and awesome. 2004 BSG was a brooding, boring, space soap opera with no hopefulness, not funny, and most of the male characters from original BSG were changed into women!! Yah, what can you say it JUST SUCKS!! @@HariSeldon913

Watch it if when you've had a few beers sort of works as well!
I did.
Never watched this for 10 years, hence I've forgotton many of the episodes and storylines. Will be enjoying "33" later today courtesy my recently bought BSG Blu Ray complete collection. LOL
Just keep ordering the $5 fillup from kfc..you’ll regress
I first watched the series when I was ten years old. My first rewatched was completed two days ago at the age of 17... I'd forgotten a lot of stuff and I finally understood the deeper themes. The finale was great.
THANK YOU!.... So Say We ALL

James Callis as Gaius Baltar. Oh my lord, best performance I ever saw on screen.
Facts
Kurgath, that's an understandable exaggeration, the entire frontline cast was outstanding! Balter role was played to perfection thru a challenging character arc.
The reason he was so good is.....Of all villains of all time, on anything anywhere...I'be hated no one more than I hated Baltar, I wanted to personally kill him (the character) so many times it wasn't even funny..lmao-
@@HorrorMetalMaestroRedrusty66 He was one seriously mixed up unit! After Lee candidly told him what a total POS he was, Baltar got it together and achieved redemption. Most of the time he was easy to hate and had alot of close encounters with extermination!
What's even more impressive is that he basically seems to have crafted the character himself.
Katee Sackhoff should have been Capt Marvel
Came here for love of BSG and to say the EXACT same thing!
no she deserves far better than to have her powers stolen by Rogue...Brie Larson on the other hand take them gloves off girl(Rogue)! lolol
OMG, that was in the comics....the MCU is a lot different.
Agreed!
Don't drag Katee into this. NOTHING can save the mcu now. Lol
One of the very few shows, which reflected the very best, and worst of humanity, and the human condition. One of the few shows, that told of the universal truth that allies and enemies are just as frail and reliant of the fate the other.
I actually paused this when Eddy was talking about the SSWA speech and went and watched it, oh man I had forgotten how powerful it was. Brought a tear to my eye!
This show literally changed my life. There will never, every be anything like this ever again.
It's happened before, it will happen again.
Yes. I said that above, to go a bit further it save my life.
Most underrated show in the history of television. If this would have been released these days on a platform like Netflix if would be huge!!!!
"We've got violent decompressions radiating from the port flight pod!"
It is actually really hard to say lol
Tricia Helfer kicked ass in this series - so did James Callis - captured the screen...one of the best shows ever made
to bad Apollo and Col. Tye werent there.
If Tricia Helfer had been 5'7 and weighed 215 pounds you'd never have noticed her acting ability.
I think this was her first major part as well, had done acting before but not on this scale. People who haven't watched the show and see her could well think she was there for 'eye candy' which is a shame as the character went way past that.
@@johnroscoe2406 I think someone's projecting.
@@Jaejgaren I don't think you know what "projecting" is but nice try.
Damn, the ladies have all aged VERY well. Still smoking hot.
Trish is still EDI in my heart
Women often age better than men in the business of entertainment.
Starhunter Terra I haven't found that to be true at all.
We had two older beagles get dropped off at our driveway one day, about a year ago. Named them Tali and Zora, cleaned them up and found them nice homes.
trha2222 Four years? Battlestar Galactica was over and done with in 2009. ;)
If I was a showrunner James Callis would be first on my call sheet every time. He did such a good job on Battlestar that I'll always wonder how it didn't make him a superstar.
@REAL TRUTH jesus dude...
@REAL TRUTH something is deeply wrong with you...
On topic, he did an awesome job on bs:g, showed so many aspects of his acting talent. He should be a big star indeed
I believe James takes smaller and less roles because he has some pretty big things he is working on outside acting. I love him.
Why do these interviewers always ask about "favorite scenes"? most actors will say they can't pin down a favorite. They should instead ask "do you have any fond memories or good stories related to scenes you've done?" That's what they are digging for in the end, a good story.
What is funny is when fans are mad when the actors don't remember certain episodes. I mean do we remember every day at our jobs? I don't think so LOL
Yes,absolutely the President we wish we had. And the military leader we desperately need.
Tricia and James, best onscreen and offscreen partnership I’ve seen😍
Just finished binge watching the entire series again. A top 5 show of all time without question.
I just got done binge watching it in COVID 2020. One of the best cast, TV writing and storytelling ever.
Me too. Covid binge watching.
So say we all!
The thing that resonated the most when I first stumbled on this series was episode 1 where Commander Adama tells Saul his XO to man up and do his job. During a crisis where everyone is second guessing each other he made the tough call to sacrifice the maintenance crew in order to save the ship. Could he have waited 20 sec? Maybe, but the ship could have also blown up in that 20 sec and that was a really hard call that he made to save the ship. In an era where I grew up watching Star Trek and its idealistic principles, it was jarring to see the importance of being in command.
Star Trek TNG touched on it briefly in the episode where Troy tries to make commander rank and only achieved it by sending Laforge to his death in a simulation but seeing BSG for the first time makes you realize that getting a promotion really sucks because your decisions are going to get people killed. Critics might argue this show is too dark or depressing but it's just perfect as it is, because it truly shows that leadership has its costs (like Roslin ordering the civilian ship destroyed).
Dark. Yes. I remember the teaser trailer for the BSG mini on Sci Fi: What immediately stuck with me wa Edward James Olmos standing in what looked like a hangar & the deck was just covered in body bags. I had no idea what I was seeing but it made me do a double take & I KNEW I had to see this new show.
Yep as a Navy veteran I enjoyed this show on a whole different level - “set condition one throughout the ship” :-)

Ok Boomer
Don't forget Lee leaving those civilians behind whose FTLs were malfunctioning!
@@joeybulford5266 Sharon Valeri has entered the chat......
BSG was so successful, I think, because it was never played for laughs, never campy or humorous, and always, as Mr. Olmos noted, about the PEOPLE. That's what drives a good story of any sort; the people and their joys and tragedies, their love, hatred, nobility and fragility. Every character was conflicted to some degree, blown around by the winds of fate, and forced to make choices that changed them, gave them all a new sense of self. THAT'S good art.
Let's all consider that Moore and the writers deliberately limited the kind of technology in use. No lasers, phasers, or photon torpedoes. No tractor beams, no magical gadgets that were introduced as a way to write their way out of a plot hole or a corner. There were two major pieces of tech: inertial gravity for the big ships and the FTL jump capability. The cybernetic aspects were solid extrapolations of existing tech--we're pretty darned close to that right now, aren't we? (Seen those latest designs from DARPA?) But you may have noticed that the Galactica relied very little on complex computers for a really good reason: those can be hacked as demonstrated by the hack done on those advanced Mk VII Vipers.
Bluntly, the show was NOT about the cool gadgets but rather the people and that's why it was so damned good.
So say we all.
Yes, but the MK V11 Vipers were more easily hacked thanked to Gaius Baltar! Notice that much of the Pegus' vipers were unaffected. They mentioned that newer vipers that were pre-upgrade or in overhaul were spared. I think they also mention that when they realized what happened, they modified the systems on the newer vipers. thanks to Baltar, 6 used spearing and being provided direct access. Then Baltar gave Gina nuke, destroyed at least 1 ship, and helped the Cylons find them.
BSG was the success that prompted the failure of Stargate Universe. You could tell SGU was trying to copy BSG but it never really got there.
BSG broke a lot of the old rules and was willing to "go there" when any other series at the time would have stopped.
One of the most real and visceral moments for me was when the Cylons had some kind of virus killing them so they sent Baltar (human) to investigate a base ship comprised of Model 6 Cylons. And then that Model 6 was screaming at Baltar, blaming him for everything. So very gut-wrenching.
I'd say the single most gut-wrenching moment was in the pilot movie. President Roslin had just visited with a little girl on an agricultural ship. Then they got the warning that the Cylons were coming back. Not all the ships had FTL and Roslin made the impossible decision to jump away, leaving the non-FTL ships to their doom. They were radioing in things like, "I hope you burn in hell!" The final twist of the knife was when she was informed that the little girl she had spoken with earlier was on a ship with no FTL. She was killed along with the rest of the crew. They didn't have to go there, as it was already bad enough. But they went there. So painful to watch, but so realistic and brutally honest.
Enough character motivation right there to drive her forward to be the leader she was.
I liked the early focus on the pilots, though of course everyone else in the Fleet and among the Cylons had great development. Some episodes in Seasons 3 and 4 were a bit slow for me, but they had the function of developing the universe. At the end of the day, I totally agree with your comment. So say we all!
@@protorhinocerator142 That was gut wrenching. It's been 10 years since i first viewed the show and your post made me think just now, Roslin could have taken the little girl and her grandma on another ship. Of course they did not because moving writing always allows sorrow. That show saved my life. James Callis in real life could be Jesus returned. I adored his character and he as a totally decent human being. I love him.
so making Starbuck a woman vs all-female ghost busters remake:
Starbuck was an exciting character played excellently, and was in a good series with good story. For the Ghost busters remake, I couldn't even get through the trailer without cringing.
Ger Tar
I 100% agree. They are apples and oranges.
Nothing against Starbuck, but I found the _Ghostbusters_ remake absolutely frickin' hilarious.
"Objectively bad" suggests it's not just your opinion (since opinion is _subjective_ ).
If that's what you mean, then I would be curious to know the *objective* basis for your assessment. Because *both* of the usual parameters for _objectively_ assessing films (critical reception and box office receipts) mark _Ghostbusters 2016_ as much better than a "bad" film: it gets a 74% on Rotten Tomatoes and it made a profit of $85 million.
You may not agree that those objective parameters form an accurate picture of the film's quality -- and that's your right -- but we call that an _opinion_ . And an opinion, by definition, is *subjective* , not objective. Cheers friend!
The thing is a woman as Starbuck wasn't a feminist move, it was just a way not to keep the old formula and a female was cast and it worked fine because it wasn't done just to be a waman moment.
@@yorickstrangefield2976 74% RT critics score, audience is 50%, RT critics are politically embedded, the whole industry these days is collapsing into a sabbatean zionist gravity well.
Grace's entire essence is radiating that beautiful smile. I love her.
Hopefully it was natural and not learning during the time she spent in the NXIVM cult
Many of the show runners for this show come from Star Trek and Gene Roddenbury. The way Gene ran the set back then was like a family. And most of them are friends and spend a lot of time together. That’s why the cast and crew on this show work so well together!! I love it!!
OMG I can't believe how much I enjoyed this video. When I clicked on it and I saw it was over an hour and a half I said, oh, darn. I'll think I'll just fast forward to the "So say we all" phrase at the end. Well, I ended up watching the whole thing and had quite a few laughs. These people are amazing. Love you guys. SO SAY WE ALL!!!

If anyone has ever watched footage of the Star Trek Next Generation cast at conventions, you'll understand what a deep, deep pleasure it is to watch this cast. In contrast. And, for the record, the rebooted Battlestar Galactica is literally masterful art.
The original was so much better.
It's the original fans that are so much bitter.
This was amazing! How the hell do they all manage to be so charming and down to earth!
Grace park just never cease to be hot, damn!
Smokin' hot. Dayum!
My favourite Battlestar Galactica moments are !
1.Bill Adamas speeches
2. The Cylon attack on the twelve colonies
3. The Pegasus / Admiral Helena Cain episode arc
4. The liberation of New Caprica
5. The episode Revelations after arriving on the original Earth and discovering its a devastated nuclear waste land
6 The rescue of Hera / Galacticas last mission
7. The arrival and settlement on the second Earth
When they jump Galactica into the atmosphere I think of Captain Reynolds on firefly saying they're not going to see this coming.
Exodus part 2 was great 2 when Pegasus is sacrificed to save the "bucket"
Thanks to Commander Apolo
Don't forget the scene where Starbuck walks in on Baltar while he's having a private moment with Six. :-)
RobertWF42 talk about acting on a dime! He pulled that scene off with 🧨!
SPOILER ALERT!!! JK, I knew

I loved watching this, and it made me miss this series even more! This was a great assembly of the cast with an incredible amount of energy and enthusiasm. Thank you to the cast who appeared for making this a wonderful reunion.
Mary Mc Donnell. Beautiful voice and wonderful acting.
i just finished watching the show for the first time it's great to see the actors are similar to their characters and that they gave it so much because it feels like the show hasn't ended.
I love this show so much! It's a dream come true to have them reunite and talk about all of these things, especially now. During the election I kept thinking about this show and how much it relates to what's going on now.
I saw the original BSG when it first aired , and I saw all of this version...Katie nailed the Starbuck character 100 fold over the original, no fracking comparison.
Really? So phony. Punches out guys that would clearly flatten her.Gender bending roleplaying juat like the world we are in now..Se where it gets them childless and extinct
Respectively disagree, not for me, I just couldn't take her seriously, loved the original when I was a kid, Dirk was the best hands down. Plus what's with all the pouting Katee 🤷🏽♂️
@korrok Then u r an incel.
The two are not even the same character, after the pilot all shallow similarities were dropped.
@@BobBelson Incels hate women, they don't love them - they find any excuse to put them down. I was actually thinking you sound like an Incel when I read your first comment, but then you go and misuse the word in your second comment and it made me laugh out loud.

Indeed
This is the way
Vectron smiles upon us!
Mary McDonnell admitting that they could not stop laughing - the same thing happened on Star Trek TNG and Babylon 5 and that's why these series were so good, because the cast were so close and had fun on set.
Starbuck is a ninja in real life too. Really cool and funny! The Blockbuster references jab me a bit, because in the UK they bought the small, excellent video shops, that had lots of weird movies, then closed them, and sold fifty identical copies of Point Break.
Aye the selection at blockbuster was lacklustre, thankfully we still had a little independent rental shop near us so could still get our hands on good old 80's schlock like Critters 2 or Killer Klowns from Outer Space instead of the same mainstream shite that blockbuster peddled.
This was very cool , most of the main cast remembering Bach 15-18 years. What a joy
Arguably the most talented cast ever assembled for a TV series. Every one of them was and is outstanding.
Battlestar Galactica is an awesome science fiction series with a great cast !
The so say we all at the end just put a massive grin on my face
@Eric Feldmann you must be effin sad in your life
Literally the BEST thing SyFy has ever aired...bar none. I bought the complete set years back and I revisit the whole series at least once a year. The opening scene still sends shivers down my back...Aweome, awesome show.
Yes true, but let's not forget Babylon 5 is also one of the best ever. To me nothing compares to thees two that i've seen so far.
@@DerrickBigWalker Babylon 5 started to lose it's way after the third season and the fifth season was just utter shite.

I'm such huge fan of this Groundbreaking piece of entertainment.
As an Australian I first found Battle Star GALACTICA When I was 8 or 9, back in 1978 or something, I can't remember and can't be bothered looking that detail up right now.
As an Adult I love BSG because it had Adult themes involved.
For example...
Boltars arc..
How prophetic was his Story Arc !
He meets with the colons unwittingly and after being played gives up Security information to the Enemy that leads to War .
Later he sells his people out to become President !
What will Happen will Happen Again!
It totally resonates with whats happening in the world today!
This show literally changed my life.
I loved this series. Thank you to all the cast members.

Not many people from today's audience saw the original. Im not sure how You can get offended by this information.
Re-watching BSG after over 10 years. I realize the story still resonates. It's authentic human struggles with scifi as merely the backdrop.
**Good** Sci-Fi: _Exploring the social implications of technology_ as taught by Asimov, Clarke, and Hienlien which BSG masterfully executed in writing, directing, acting.
Now compare to the dumpster fire of _Star Trash: Disaster, Star 'Tard: Picard, Star Wreck: Lower Dreck_ -- fake trek by fake fans who don't have a fracking clue.

Why is the funniest part of this whole interview their attempt to call Jamie? "What do we know, we're from Blockbuster!"
One of the "Best and Smartest" conclusions to a TV series ever. I re-watch BSG when I need to ground myself and understand human strength and frailty.
@Eric Feldmann : Your comment is exactly like pissing in the wind. Almost pointless, except that you embarrass yourself.
@Eric Feldmann
Ok Boomer
@Eric Feldmann Hello...somebody notice me please!!!!!
I disagree. I loved the show, but thought they ended it horribly. Discarding all the technology that would have made sure they survived, to go off and live like and with cavemen, didn't feel like something that a military strategist like the character Adama would do. I know it's a Sci fi show, but they should have tried to make it feel and look plausible.
@@KRE03051 Wrote an essay to respond to you.
I have HUGE issues with the ending too, but the rationalization was, they were trying to end the cycle of war: the more advanced species creates the robots to serve them, the robots rebel. That's what happened at Kobol, that's what happened when the 13th Tribe (of human cylons) created cylons on Earth (not.. our earth), and that's what happened at the 12 colonies. Eternal recurrence.
And they also needed a reason why we don't have a bunch of advanced technology from 150,000 years ago.
So it was either do what they did, rewrite earth's history to a more plausible ending where they kept medical technology and the stuff they would, y'know keep, or not come to our earth, or come to earth at a different point in time (like 1980 BSG, when brings up a host of problems).
TL;DR: They wrote themselves in a corner and while the ending didn't make complete sense, it made more thematic sense while staying true to the existing characters. Although REALLY rough around the edges, I can't really think of a more fitting finale, unfortunately, based on where they were at the end of the third season.
At least it was a Helluva lot better then the Game of Thrones finale.
Can you BELIEVE GRRM wrote this on his blog?
"Battlestar Galactica ends with 'God Did It.' Looks like somebody skipped Writing 101, when you learn that a deus ex machina is a crappy way to end a story...damn it, doesn't anybody know how to write an ending any more?"
I know you didn't write the show after Season 4, buddy, but your show had one of the worst endings of all time. I've heard fan fiction endings that were way, way better then what the GOT writers pooped out, but have yet to heard the same for BSG's ending, despite its gaping flaws.
I am right now watching this masterpiece again with my wife, it is only her second time and my forth.
Epic reunion..that show was exquisite ride that had a profound effect on me. I shall never forget it for the rest of my life. I wish Caprica went longer.
This was quite a treat!!! Thank you!!! This made my day!
✌❤😊
This is the funniest live show I’ve ever seen the entire cast is great and you can tell are all close friends.
i was watching some BSG clips and i saw this and i just want to say, THANK YOU! so totally much. this series did so many things to me and the music molded my life. i thank you for hosting and posting this. thank you so much.
Brilliant. Makes me want to watch BSG through again so must dig out the box sets. Thank you all.
i want to no more about laure and bill lovestory
Grace Park what BEAUTIFUL WOMAN!
The chemistry these actors have with each other is fantastic.
I rewatch BSG every year, it's time that I rewatch it again!
Same here
Me too!
THIS AND FIREFLY ARE WORTH 99% OF NEW SCI FI. its like a holy book of science fiction.
Make sure to watch The Expanse as well, and make sure to watch all the seasons because I think it starts a bit slow but season 2 and 3 are awesome!
@Eric Feldmann Trollingest troll ever throughout the whole thread. You sir, are a goddamn winner
okay it's been 5 years can we have another reunion? one of the greatest tv shows of all time! so say we all!
They aged so well. I think they are cylons!
😂
Haha I was one of those "haters" in the scifi chatrooms back in the early days, who was against Ron Moore turning Starbuck into a girl, but that is because Starbuck was my fave character from the original show (mind you I was like 9 or 10 when I watched the original BSG back in the 70's). I wasn't nasty though like some others were. I said I'd watch it for sure but that the decision didn't make sense to me, but by then I was a HUGE DS9 (and all other Trek) fan and I knew Ron Moore's writing credits so I did trust him. NOW in retrospect, it was brilliant turning Starbuck into a woman. As a woman myself I appreciated her character for a ton of reasons, and I also liked the tension between Apollo and Starbuck.
What I love about the show most is experiencing it with someone who has not seen it. Its so fun. ive done it twice, and im sure ill be able to keep on doing it for years to come.
yea...
Hands down the best TV series of the last 30 years.
thanks for this. brought a big smile to my face. I still watch the series even now. as said, great writing, acting, directing, music. So say we all.
Amazing panel. So funny. many memories. Thank you!
I freakin’ miss this show.
GREAT STUFF.
Thank you for this!!
One of my all time favorite shows. Love seeing many of the cast together again!
I've been rewatching BSG (2004 version) and I am really amazed. They really thought out some of the things that could happen if an entire species (humans) was almost wiped out and had to head to the stars....lot of politics, sex, interactions, events as well as fighting an opponent alien or robot/cylon. They did some things you wouldn't think would be shown on TV like leaving and entire ship of humans behind, marked for death, while the rest of the ships leave....that is deep and dark. A number of themes like that.
Shame, Orn Gorn, shame.
Orn Gorn shutup ass. no one cares.
Orn Gorn another dumbass reply...
Orn Gorn boo boo boo boo doo doo. Fucking parrot. lmao
@Orn Gorn what do you consider a good show? Game of thrones? Riverdale? Any dumb show? Bsg is quality tv
Loved the original as a kid. Loved the reimage as an adult.
Bryon Lape I have to admit though that Galactica 1980 season was cringeworthy, especially with Joe 90 ;)
We didn't have a TV when Galactica 1980 was briefly on and I didn't see it until a few years ago. It was horrible.
Bryon Lape with the exception of the very last episode 'the return of Starbuck'
Original BSG was groundbreaking, hopeful, funny, exciting and awesome. 2004 BSG was a brooding, boring, space soap opera with no hopefulness, not funny, and most of the male characters from original BSG were changed into women!! Yah, what can you say it JUST SUCKED!!
Love the original as a kid, loved the original as an adult.
Tears of joy and laughter!...Fantastic show!
Best show ever made. Love every single person who helped make it - I've lost count how many times I've watched it now!
Love, love, love this. ❤️
That Show made me watch SciFi again. So many memorable Characters and so many Twists. I liked the Original as a Kid. But I loved the Reincarnation even more as an Adult! And I say a Woman as Starbuck made me like the Caracter even more! So say we All!
These Ladies Are AWESOME!!!! Thank You Very Much!!!!
Thanks so much for posting this!
Better than the Wire and I love the Wire, this series was utterly transcendental. So many stories nowadays aren't worth telling and those that are told, never get the right people and treatment, but I'm glad this was did, that it exists.

I just wish we could go back in time and relive it
@Eric Feldmann And you are biggest idiot in this comment section ;)
best show ever. Other shows catch your fancy for a while but this one sticks
Original BSG was groundbreaking, hopeful, funny, exciting and awesome. 2004 BSG was a brooding, boring, space soap opera with no hopefulness, not funny, and most of the male characters from original BSG were changed into women!! Oh, no the cylons are gonna kill us all what are we gonna do!! Yah, what can you say it JUST SUCKS!!
The Expanse. Especially season 3. It's the first one I've loved this much since BSG. Don't just watch season 3 tho. You will be deeply confused.
your sad best show lol oh my it was actually the best that you could get at the time cause everything else at time was ending or sucked or there was no competition.........
@@Briscom I never saw the original, so maybe I don't know how it was changed for the worse, but I still say that 2004 BSG was one of the best tv series I have watched. Right up there with Stargate SG1, Star trek TNG, and X-files.
@@remyllebeau77 Stargate wasn't even a decent show but basically the same story an efffects played on loop. But it at least it had likeable characters, unlike Galactica 2004.
Wow, really enjoyed this, thank you so much ..
i'm a new fan of the show(for a year now) , thanks to Mary Mcdonnell.. And it's really stunning to see how this show is still so fracking amazing, powerful, and appreciate after all these years!
Suprised that large chain of coffee shops never paid Katie Sackhoff to do some promo on their benhalf ;)
Sublime Thinker what is a benhalf?
@@neilthemedflyspecial hahaha
Great cast looks and sounds similar: they really enjoy each others company. The stories they tell simply are fantastic and really funny.
I love every single of one of you 😘 That was epic reunion, looking forward for the next ones 🤙
Great video. Brings back so many memories... What a show.
