    Just being honest, I’m 62 years old and fell in love with the original Battlestar Galactica as a teen. Starbuck was by far my favourites character and when the reboot made Starbuck a woman, I was pissed. I learned to eat humble pie when I saw the reboot. The cast was unbelievable, the twist and turns stories wise was simply amazing. Everyone involved in this series has every reason to be proud. Fracking good job.

    I accidently met Edward James Olmos outside a restaurant in Encino, CA. Having just finished breakfast, I was putting my riding gear on when he had just gotten out of his car right next to my motorcycle. Right before I put my helmet on, he wished me a safe ride. One of those moments where I was stunned, but also not stunned by a movie star in that he was so chill. It's good to know that he was "Admiral" behind the scenes as well.

    It cannot be overstated -- the score by Bear McCreary is still the best TV score of all time, and it's not even particularly close.

    • @KaitainCPS
      @KaitainCPS Před rokem +23

      What tends to get forgotten is that the musical sound of the show was created by Richard Gibbs for the 2003 miniseries, with McCreary as his assistant. He was asked to return full-time when the show was greenlit as a full series, but he had to pass as he had other commitments. He recommended McCreary be given the sernior job. It worked out extremely well, and McCreary deserves his plaudits, but Gibbs made a big mark on the show by going in such a distinctive direction for the pilot. Some of the cues from the miniseries are outstanding - not only "Are You Alive?" which became the leitmotif of Six whenever she appeared, but also "The Storm And The Dead" (when they're laying out the dead before approaching Ragnar Anchorage), a stellar piece of work with a plaintive choral component.

    • @lucemiserlohn
      @lucemiserlohn Před rokem +8

      @@KaitainCPS That is not quite accurate. The only music of Gibbs the show used was the original main title (Colonial Anthem), all the original music was written by McCreary. IIRC Gibbs turned them down from the start, and had a hand in suggesting McCreary, but ultimately did not work on the show.

      @@lucemiserlohn The soundtrack for BSG Miniseries was largely scored by Gibbs (his name is the only one listed/credited on the soundtrack as well). However, McCreary took it to another level (several actually) on seasons 1-4 & the films. Even the score he did for Caprica was amazing (as well as Outlander & everything else he works on). McCreary put so much thought & passion into his work on BSG & boy does it show.

      Incredibly powerful. It’s a very human-centered show. It really seems to revolve around consequences, with the Cylons representing the ultimate consequence of man’s sin (or so my theory goes). It’s like Terminator in space but with more emphasis on character development over action.

    One of the things that seems odd now:
    Gaius Baltar was originally not conceived as a comedic character at all; he was just going to be a regular, straight-laced dramatic character. But when James Callis started delivering some of the lines in a semi-improv comedic style that made people laugh while still serving the plot, they realized they could write for Callis's specific take on Baltar, and he quickly became the character as we now know him.

Was just flipping through channels one day and started watching a show that seemed pretty cool not realizing it was BSG till after a commercial. I was amazed, and hooked. Turned out to be one of my all time favorite shows. The writing was harsh, and I mean that in a good way. Violence, real issues, hardships, the works, nothing candy coated. you got invested in every character. and the use of 'frack' was brilliant.

      That is almost exactly what Edward James Olmos said at another reunion. That he was glad that BSG happened at the end of his career as an actor because nothing as great would come again. And that he was kind of feeling sorry for the younger ones.

    Lot's of goosebumps watching this. I have all the DVD's and I watch from beginning to end about once a year. Wish the current crop of writers could pull off a show like this, but it's not happening currently. Even with more sophisticated special effects now days, the writing falls flat in modern TV and movies.

      I fully agree with the recommendation to watch the Expanse. It's very well done and well written. Today's great writers can write great stories but they are not being hired due to diversity hiring for non-writing-skill based qualities. But there are a few great shows being produced occasionally. The first season of West World was amazingly awesome. Andor is superb, surprised the heck out of me coming from Disney, the horrific woke nightmare that they have become.

      I remember the Sci-Fi Channel made an hourlong special commemorating the end of the series called "The Last Frakkin Special". Towards the end, Eddie reflects upon his association with BSG. "The one question that people always ask me as I'm walking around is, 'How's it feel to be on Battlestar Galactica?' and I always tell them, 'It's the frakkin best job I ever had!'"

    I found this show by accident. I hear some of my coworkers talking about, but wasn’t interested since I remember the original as a kid and I thought it would be a kids show. Then in 2009 Circuit City went out of business and had to sell everything. So I bought the first two seasons and once I started…I could not stop. I now have the DVDs and Blu Ray, which is good since Peacock stopped carrying it. I have lost count how many times I have watched the show.

      It’s a completely different take on the story. 40 years later with different actors, writing and technology. One version of Starbuck doesn’t need to be better than another. They are simply different.Played by very different actors and of course gender, which alone put a different perspective on the outcome.

    • @Alex_G_M

      Absolutely agreed. And Dirk Benedict sadly turned out to be a massive tool - remember the piece he wrote that was basically a rant against feminism in general and more specifically Katee Sackhoff being cast as Starbuck? If you don’t, don’t worry - it was epically dumb.

    This show was part of an important period of my life. I was a university student, watched it (together with other shows but BSG was the diamond of all) in my student dorm with my roomies.
    It was so intense, if I remember correctly there was also the writer guild strike and we had to wait for the continuation. My roomie and I were always trying to oredict the plot twists and whats happening next to the characters and storyline.
    As the show ended, I was overwhelmed by feelings. It carried me for the most part of my university time. At the end of the year I had to make the decision to leave university and start a new life back at home. Never regret it but it was a wonderful time, the show truely was a big part of it

    True fact, before Ron Moore took on BG, he was given carte blanch to do anything he wanted to do, and he chose to do Anne McCaffery's Dragon Riders of Pern. He got so many corporate "suggestions" from the studio execs, that at some point he told then "Never-mind, if I make all the changes you want, its not Dragon Riders of Pern anymore."

It will stand out as a timeless and extremely well executed TV series and arguably one of the best ever of the genre. As stated by the cast and series creator, the real beauty of the show is in the cohesion of the ensemble cast and the relevant themes that they portrayed. Best TV reboot ever, in my opinion!

  • @fernandoestebanzunigaandra8088

    The entire series reboot was great, but the ending episode was pure geniality. Ronald D. Moore was able to link their show, with our real world in a way that the original show couldn´t .By using the Ancient Astronaut theory, and the Mithocondrial Eve discovery , he gave us the best finale, cause we recognize that the problem of Kobol and the 12 Colonies is replicated in our planet Earth(poverty,over population,contamination, and the rise of the A.I). So, they used images of the Atlas robots, of Boston Dynamics, and the Asimo robot of Honda , and many others real robots as an example of what happened to Kobol may happens here too. Now, just 20 years after the last episode, we got Chat GPT, and others A,I that may become self aware, not to mention the new Boston Dynamics androids and the new russians combat robots. So, in words of the cast,it seems we are Frack...hahahaha. Greetings from Chile. You guys, are awesome 🙂😉😊. (PD: Nice detail using Jimmy Hendrix song, for the last scene)
