In a short interview Edward James Olmos briefly talks about one of the most meaningful experiences he had Battlestar Galatica.
Seen in the video is the recently released QMX Artesian Viper replica.
Truly a collectors dream and replicates to the exact specifications the now legendary shows Viper Mark ll and literally right down to every nut and bolt.
It features a working miniature Dradis screen with the actual footage from the shows digital files, and three LED lit pulsating thrusters and generated white noise sound to go along with this awesome effect!
If your interested in learning more about this beautiful replica that is hand made right here in the United States and takes over 50 man hours to assemble go to this web site:

Edward James Olmos was outstanding in this role. I couldn't imagine anyone else as Commander Adama. This show is my all time favorite series. How gratifying it must have been for the cast and crew to have been a part of so great a project.
When he puts on that uniform, he _is_ Commander Adama. This show is so immersive, because all of the cast bring their own character's story to life. They respond to threats differently, have their own knowledge about the world they're in... have unique secrets that when you go back later, you can see manifesting through their scenes as a kind of foreshadowing. Tremendous depth. I don't have the proper words for it.
I hope they feel every bit as proud for what they've created together as they want to, because they deserve to.

Got can we just appreciate the absolute amount of shit the Galactica suffered and still managed to push through?! Even if it's just sci-fi, that ship was as much a character as the Falcon, Serenity, or the Original Enterprise.
she was the Dying Leader!
A wonderful moment in that scene was the use of the main melody line of the orginal BSG theme as the soundtrack music as Adama passes over the ship
In a fictitious sense, we all have a part of Adama inside us through our DNA
No we all have a part of Hera in our DNA because she is mitochondrial eve
You were awesome through the entire series. So many memorable moments for us as fans. One of my favorite episodes is when you all took off your dog tags and entered the ring, and you beat the hell out of Chief Tyrell. You also held up Colonel Ty throughout the entire series, as any good friend would do for another. The other thing that I loved about the series was how much Doc Cottle reminded me of Deforest Kelly as Doctor McCoy on Star Trek. Same rough, grumpy exterior and caring man on the inside, who could control you when he needed to, like when the Gemise girl came in for an abortion and he suggested, ever so subtly, that she apply for asylum aboard the Gallactica. It was all so well done and you did so well, making the whole thing believeable.
It was an honor watching you Admiral!
Awesome show, wish it was not over :( Thanks for the 4 seasons :)
I came quite late to the BSG party as I had seen the original and wasn’t sure if a new one had much to offer? How wrong I was! Just one minute in and I was hooked, like many of the comments on here I watch and rewatch regularly as it to me at least took that rare award of the perfect hat trick,
1 A great story.
2 Produced and acted superbly.
3 Ended spectacularly.
In my opinion that’s hard to beat. Thank you and all the cast and crew for making a masterpiece.
As someone who's an Original BSG fan who never really got into the "story" part of NuBSG, I think it's impossible to deny this show is a master class in everything about how to do a TV series. You can't watch this show and not be impressed by the level of detail of thought which went into it.
Was a lovely end to a great Serise it made me cry my eyes out
3 of the 4 guys in the control room had seen the entire show and suggested it to the 4th. He spent nearly every day watching an episode. Coming on watch more and more excited, it was hard to talk without spoilers. It opened up moral and philosophical discussions to fill our 6 hour watches. After a few months seeing the same 3 people in a 10ft by 10ft box (add the consoles and it is 8x5), you run out of stories or general topics... not a lot of news comes to a submarine crew at sea.
This scene was touching. Seeing the mangled wreck at the finish line. Leaving "Home" for the last time and knowing you would never see it again.
Melhor série de ficção de todos os tempos. Edward James Olmos estava perfeito no papel de Adama. Desde que a série terminou, já assisti novamente 5 vezes. Fantástica!
Battlestar was such a good quality show. I'm going to be enjoying it for a very long time.
Been a fan of the Battlestar Galactica in 1978...I just discover this new take on the series, what a blast, what a writing, what a fantastic casts and playing...you all did a wonderful job to update and give a fantastic philosophical and meaning turn to space opera..., I will watch it again from start, because so many messages in it to be digested and understood...first virgin viewing is always a discovery, second is more analytic...so say we all...!
I was in tears from this point all the way through the end.
The moment he describes: looking over @ Galactica from the Viper, had a tremendous effect on me as a viewer. Still does.
Absolutely loved that scene. Made my pores raise on the flyby of galactica.
BSG is the most series!! I loved it!
So say we all!
I absolutely LOVED battlestar. It won me over from being a diehard star wars fan. I wish we had many more seasons of it. HOWEVER, that being said, I did NOT care for the ending. I don't know exactly what the ending should/could have been, but I wish it has ended differently, and many many more seasons later!
Victim of a writers strike causing them to rush it. In reality it needed an extra season to clear up Starbuck, and Head Baltar/6 without leaving so many important questions until the last episode and just concluding "uhhh, God dun it". An alternative rational explanation offered in addition to the religious one might have been a nice idea, with some characters opting for one over the other and the viewer left to decide for themselves.
Best si fi TV I've ever seen, and it would take something very extraordinary to beat this series!
Loved this scene so much, and love hearing Eddie talk about it! Been trying to find a clip of him saying what he thought happened with Bill after he buried Laura, and why he would say goodbye to Lee forever. I mean...what did he think of that ending? I still have many questions.
I'm not gonna lie but, I wish... I was there!
I watch BSG Series on the beginning of every year. I find my self full of inspiration, courage and even philosophical on the what if !!!
What if there's some truth to the story.
May be .... Just may be.... The 47th chromosome located in the mitochondria was in fact synthetic and helped to unlock our consciousness, to evolve our minds to become what we are now.
Six was right... Eventually, something changes when it's repited over long time.
!!! So Say We All !!!
SO SAY WE ALL!
SOSAY WE ALL!!
Xibalba N7 So say we all!
SO SAY WE ALL!!!
so say we all
So say we all.
I wish RDM/DE would have worked a backstory scene with the web series young Adama in the same Viper doing a flyby of a pristine Battlestar Galactica as a bookend to this scene... Juxtaposing those two characters (The Admiral and the Battlestar), how they aged, all they went through, and delivering humanity safely - would have been a strong story point and powerful image. Not necessarily during the finale but at some point during the series run…
Well, you did, kind of. In the miniseries, you had young Adama doing a fancy flyby (also to the original BSG theme) in the same Viper of a Galactica before it had a single bruise. It was his son flying in the miniseries, yes, but it's enough poignancy on both bookends for symmetry.
I still wish the ending had not been so bittersweet, but with such a story I guess it has to be.
My favorite sci fi series, even more than Star Trek TOS or Star Trek DS9.
It would be hard to give up their technology on a wild Earth though...Humanity would be doomed. I thought it would have worked better if this had happened 4,150,000 years ago, and keeping their technology...and though it would all eventually turn to dust, Mankind would have a fighting chance to survive...
One final launch.
One final flyby.
..........❤❤❤❤❤...........
Hey ed you ok ?
Adama deserved better than to lose everything at the end after all he had endured to protect the fleet.
He fulfilled his promise and got them to Earth. I liked that the show wasn't afraid of dealing with loss along the journey and I especially liked that Adama lost more than anyone else, but still had the strength of conviction to see his promise through to the very end, in spite of the personal cost to him of all the loss and personal grief that he endured. Pretty much every character lost someone, but for Adama, he was the father to his entire crew, if not the wider fleet. Every lost crew member and every destroyed ship was like losing his son all over again for him.
It's a testiment to how strong he was as a character.
I'm a bit confused
He's talking about it as if he actually flew the viper out of the Galactica... which... I though the Galactica would never fly again.
It's been years since I saw an episode so forgive my ramblings.
Adama did fly the last Viper out of Galactica. Galactica herself was still space-worthy, but she wouldn't be able to FTL jump due to structural damage.
Olmos is talking from the PoV of his character, not his own.
Its hardly a spoiler after three years!
Only show top to button that can compete is Breaking Bad.
I wish they made the series without this shaky camera style.....it makes me seasick.
Anders was just ok with kamikaze the ship into the sun... lol. Wut?
A sad moment and disappointing ending to an awesome series.
Best show ever, worst ending ever (who wrote that crap anyhow). EJO gave a legendary representation of his character though.
Liked the show hated the stupid ending that made no sense going primitive typical Luddite mentality most of the colonials died of disease filth an starvation etc... I guess the writers couldn't figure a proper ending to the show so they came up with that crap.
But the human race survived another 150,000 years. Long enough for you to post this comment.
Very often the show would tell the story it wanted to tell even if it meant running over logic and common sense. The idea of a highly technological society wanting to give it all up makes a lot of sense given the themes and subtext of the show...it works as story, but anyone who gives up firearms to live on Earth 150 000 years ago is lining up to be saber cat food. I suppose it makes sense in that Hera's lineage is the only one that survives. Everyone else dies out.
@@rocketguardian2001 We do not know that everyone else died out. In fact, it seems highly unlikely that that would be the case, given the various different ethnicities represented in the show along with what we see of the hunter/gatherers of Earth at the point in time the fleet arrives. As happens in real life, sometimes the evidence left lying around which is later discovered is only some of what had originally been there, the rest more fully succumbing to the elements, or perhaps getting covered over in huge bodies of water, or others getting swallowed up by the Earth itself and now either buried so deep underground that we'll never find it, or being buried so deep that it's crushed and pulverized by the weight of all the stuff on top. And, frankly, who can say if some things (again, I'm talking in the real world) didn't eventually find their way to what is now the upper mantle layer, and just melted and dissolved away.
Look at it like this: there were still some Colonial vessels on Earth's surface (for example, Adama's viper) because you had to have some way for the last few people up in orbit to get down to the surface. None of that was ever discovered -- not even a hint of it, evidently -- in the 150,000 years since that time, so it all points to the fact that people of the far distant future/present day aren't left with very much to find. Once again, this is very much a thing borne out by experience in the real world (likely billions of dinosaurs roaming the surface, yet we've only found the tiniest fraction of that number).
@@scifisurfer8879 If Hera is mitochondrial Eve, then all the other matrolinear lines died out, meaning that however long it took, the other settlements eventually failed, leaving Hera's descendants as the humans that exist today.
A deleted scene showed the Colonials blowing up their remaining raptors.
