I love Saul's "what the frak" in this scene
So say we all👍
I get chills every time i watch this. FYI Just found it on spotify!
@@GameslordXY So say we all!
did god teach her the song
she is the guide to new earth the angel
His facial acting in this scene is incredible. With one eye.
"Its in the ship...its in the frakking ship!!"
*looks at bottle* Welp... that's the end of you...
It wasn't, though. It was outside the ship, and everywhere.
So that's how it works, huh. You just read a post and it flips a switch.
The moment when she realizes the person sitting beside her is her father is heartbreaking...
Her Father, aka God
Heartbreaking and heartWARMING at the same time. It is truly a beautiful piece of writing and acting: life coming full circle, being prepared for the future from seeming innocuous moments in the past. Kara being reunited with her father to save humanity and welcome her home. Beautiful.
@@John-tc9gp Son of God… Jesus Figure. WOOWWW. Mind blown. She resurrected to save humanity for a new beginning.
If you listen to Battlestar Galacticast (podcast), it’s suggested that he is also Daniel, the 7th Cylon that was killed by Cavill.
Interesting take.
@@John-tc9gp her father who art in heaven
I’ll never forget the moment I realized what song she was playing. As the camera panned out of their hands on the keyboard my response was the same as Sauls what the frack... that’s the music! This show is so underrated
Carmine DeCosmo Yeah i had a similar experience. They really nailed this scene.
Yes, still gives me chills every time I rewatch it. I love how the writers followed through.
Every time they played this song my heart started racing and I couldn't stop my ear-to-ear grin. I recognized it immediately.
This is God
@@John-tc9gp You know he doesn't like being called that. ;)
Appreciate the fact Kara's actually playing the song on the piano and not just faking it like they often do on TV
This might just be my favorite scene from the whole show. It's certainly the one that stands out in my memory the most.
Same.
dunno why but it gave me chills
Chills man... That moment they all look up...
👊🏾
Makes me cry happily tbh
That look on her face at 3:01 when she realizes who he is. And those few moments, not saying anything or questioning it, just accepting that for a brief moment that the impossible is possible.
Lots of people claim to have experienced something like this. Whether you are a believer or a skeptic the thought is beautiful.
@@usul573 The human mind is capable of creating many things that defy explanation. Our minds can construct entire memories from nothing but fragments. Victims of trauma create entire false memories to protect the psyche from harm. This is what makes people believe in "gods" and "angels" and "ghosts". It's all in our heads.
I still frakking love the use of the number Twelve from Battestar Galactica. Twelve Colonies, Twelve Cylon models, Twelve original Jupiter class Battlestars including Galactica herself, "serpents(vipers) numbering two and ten(a dozen)", and Bear McCreary's genius by figuring out the music can consists of Twelve numbers as coordinates, and finally Kara's song which consists of Twelve notes for the chorus. So say we all!!!!
Problem is there was 13 cylon models, final 5 and the 8 skin jobs. It's only 12 because Daniel, number 7 was boxed before the show.
@umadbroimatroll7918 not really, cause then it's the 13th colony
Saul's expressions.. damn.. that's acting..
Season four had Saul Tigh go from one of my least favorite characters in the show to one of my top favorites. Season Four was amazing to me in terms of character arcs.
@@fodxp i always liked him because of the actor. Michael Hogan is awesome
I hated Saul Tigh when the series started. Thought he was a useless idiot. By the end of the series he was my favorite character. Also, met Michael Hogan at a con a few years ago. Incredibly nice, warm, friendly guy.
Whoaaaaooooo
Check out Ellen Tighs face too.
The song became a main character. Goosebumps!
This actor who plays her dad adds so much to this scene
Gotta rewatch this series again soon
His name is Roark Critchlow and he is magnificent.
That song is so hauntingly good!
So say we all.
This version of it was spectacular. I loved how they low-keyed it at first and kept building it up every time they played it. Somehow it made me feel so charged up with joy.
So say we all.
I know the writers confirmed this isn't the case. But I really like the interpretation that Starbuck's father is Seven - Daniel - the Final Cylon who was purged by Cavil, for being Ellen's favourite.
Same! It makes sense both for being the most simple explanation narratively for Kara's origin/nature and also as a perfect connection to the cylon/human hybrid plotline. The first successful hybrid leads them to their new home through her death, and the second hybrid lives on to become mitochondrial eve to the new human race. If Ellen had called Daniel something other than "creative, sensitive, and an artist", I think it would be a harder leap. Now a decade later, this theory and the First Hybrid being Daniel Graystone are basically still about the only plot points I wish they would have confirmed. I'm happy with them being my head canon for now in any case.
Agreed! Would have made perfect sense for her to be a hidden first hybrid child granting her a special destiny. She just dies, reborn, finds her dead body on Cylon Earth, discovers that the notes of this song equal the jump coordinates to Earth II. Then disappears when talking to Lee. No closure what so ever for Kara. Having it all tie into the story of her mother, father, Cylons, 13th Tribe, music notes, and Earth II makes perfect sense. it gives her character's end closure. This whole scene would have been the perfect reveal. Instead it was another twist into her story that never resolves. She as a kid was taught this song by her father. How in the frak did her father know the song of the 13th Tribe if he wasn't a Cylon that was extremely close to Ellen? Then this ghost does the finger smoke thing, touches her hair and face like she remembered as a child, and then disappears.
@@bloodCount8895 Plays into Kara’s “I need to be somebody” as she spoke to Anders hoping she might have been one of the final five
@@bloodCount8895 Based on the end sequence with the way the interaction tied into Kara's memory and the pianist's disappearance he could have been the angel of her father and given the fact he wasn't there when Saul asks how she knew the song creates the sense she's been guided just as much as anyone else. Having seen this after Nerd Cookies' video on Kara being an angel/Cylon also creates the feeling there was an underlying meaning that was missed
It's God
The "trigger" song: "All Along the Watchtower."
The original song was sooo.lame, I heard that when I was a kid growing up, becaus of my parent's music choice... And NO I'm not that old.
@@Mopehome then listen to the Jimi Hendrix version.
@@Mopehome Yeah I agree with the other guy who said to listen to Jimi Hendrix's version. Even though Bob Dylan wrote it many of his songs were done better by other artists. That happens sometimes.
Yeah, that song really tossed me for a loop when they started playing it. Even just the first few chords played lightly I caught onto and it just blew my mind. I'm nearly 60 so long familiar with the Jimi Hendrix cover.
I've watched this scene at least 80 times before and somehow this is the first I've ever noticed the tears in Kara's eyes when she plays.
still couldnt see the tears, my vision keeps blurring up on these kind of moments....but i sure felt it, this whole series, it rings into my core being...
... is it just me or was this show insanely underrated? I think the Battlestar Galactica title put a lot of people off watching it when it was released as they remembered the 70s show. I have never watched a show that is so deep and has so many plot twists in my life. Almost every character was perfectly scripted and perfectly portrayed. Gaius Baltar undoubtedly stole the show, why do i not see the actor in more big named films? Colonel Tigh's "frack this" and "frack that" are golden... GOLDEN do u hear me?!
2NangMan : Yes it was extremely well done. Better than the original in some ways, worse in others, depending on the actors involved rather than on the story.
What i love the most about BSG is its soundtrack. Bear McCreary made great use of leitmotifs. In particular the Watchtower one. I don't think I've watched a show that's matched the complexity of Battlestar Galactica's soundtrack and sound design.
The only reason I watched the show was because of the title. If it had been called something else I probably wouldn't have noticed it.
There will be more people that watched the show because of the link to the classic series than people who deliberately avoided it because of the link to the classic series.
From what I remember, it wasn't really that Underrated. It was actually something like GOT, not as big of course, but a lot of people followed it.
If this show had gone to anyone but Ron Moore it probably would've sucked. Yeah, I loved James Callis as Baltar and his character did carry a big part of the show. Everyone loves to see a character torn apart and rebuilt to be something positive. My top 3 on BSG are, Baltar, Sal, and Athena. Out of all the characters I loved their stories the most. He has been doing a lot more. B4 Bsg he was mostly an extra and the biggest thing he did was Bridgette Jones.. heh heh.. After that he's done more mainstream guest rolls.. CSI, Arrow and others. He's actually finally getting a lead in the film "The Bay House," and will be starring opposite Steve Guttenberg in "Break Even" about 4 dudes finding 50 Million the dea leaves for the Cartel..
This scene had always something metaphysical to me, as if the ghost of her father actually came to visit her.
Also the moment the final piece clicks into place to realize her father was #7, i.e. Daniel, a CYLON
Yeah, her father was Daniel.. The Cylon model boxed by Cavil..
Which would make Starbuck the 1st human /cylon child. Not Hera.
Nope. There has never been any indication that Kara's father was a Daniel.
@@mecurian485 RDM has come out and said unequivocally that Seven was NOT Kara's father. Dreilide appeared here as a Messenger the same as Virtual Baltar or Virtual Six.
@@whette_fahrtz Who cares what RDM says? He never gives a better explanation. Once you write something it’s open to interpretation. The best one is that Daniel is her father.
This show was recently ranked the #19 TV show of all time. Amazing that a sci-fi show from 20 years ago has that much staying power. Goes to show the incredible writing and acting.
There’s never been another show that’s screwed with my mind so much. Love Battlestar Galactica!
Idk this and lost have pretty similar vibes.
This and Attack on Titan have a lot of things in common
it's really sad everything these days is simplified for the simple minded
this was one of the best Sci Fi shows ever and is much underrated ...from a treky
All the best sci-fi is underrated. Babylon 5, Farscape, Firefly, Andromeda and of course Battlestar Galactica. All gems.
Being a huge sci-fi fan I never compare any shows to each other. Every show is different in its quality. Every sci-fi series is great in its own way as far as I am concerned.
@@Fizz-Pop Don't forget "Space: Above and Beyond". Great series real gritty like BSG. If you haven't watched it, take a look.
Agreed! And same here. 🖖🏻
@@Fizz-Pop then u forgot to mention Lexx
I remember when this episode first aired and watching it. Not only did I absolutely lose my shit, all my friends and I could talk about the next week was this episode.
So say we all.
SO SAY WE ALL
That's one of the most beautiful scenes in this exceptionally beautiful show...
Family finally got to binge watch this - when it came out our son was born - so it took nearly 14 years to see this series. We are still blown away by the show, how well it was done and the nostalgia it gave us - with Richard Hatch, the older Centurions - though sad that it all had to end. The character building was incredible - and we became connected to each and everyone of them.
Just about to start my yearly Battlestar Galactica marathon. It's definitely a favorite! So say we all!
this show rips me to shreds, so powerful, so profound..breathe taking
".......what the FFFFRAK!?"
that was everyone in the audience.
It's funny... now I can't help but to hear the final five theme in every note being played, but at the time I just wasn't expecting it and was completely floored when the full complete theme comes in. I was really unsure where they were going with this music thing but when she started playing it, it was pretty amazing seeing these things come together.
Arkalius80 when I watched this I didn’t realize what it was at first until the camera started panning out I was floored
It's called "Kara Remembers"
This show is too Frakkin good for me to put into words
@@tyler114050 Watched it for the first time early this year so I'm a bit of a newbie I guess. Easily the best show I've ever seen by far.
@@ezraprice6709 Where did you watch it?
@@lurin740 Amazon prime video
Why does it feel so much more real than virtually any show I've ever seen? Some part of me feels that it really happened.
@@usul573 probably cuz of the documentary style. all the camera work is always as if theyre actually there shooting everything with a camera, right in the middle o it all. it even shake sometimes. during the battles, the perspective is always as if theyre filming from a press helicopter, or raptor in this case maybe lol. that even extends to the lighting and effects.
Every time I see this moment, I get goosebumps. And when Starbuck returned and told Apollo that she had found Earth
IT'S ALL FRAKKIN CONNECTED
I have forgotten how this melody made me get goosebumps, beautiful
i miss the series...
still gives me chills...such a great episode & series
this made me tear up a bit, since that was her father in her mind.
such a beautiful writing, emotional part of that.
Probably my favourite scene of the entire show!
Fantastic use of music in a plot. Hardly anybody does this! Great stuff.
Saul's face when he realises. Such good acting.
Goosebumps. Still. After all these years. Nothing on TV like this show.
There's something about it.
Like the aliens made it. Or the watchers. Or something.
Not us.
This has all happened before, it will all happen again, this is why it calls out with such power to so many in this specific way. There are no coincidences.
Best scene in the entire series and a great song!
Mind blowing scene, even if the Five still to this day feels completely pulled out of a hat.
I did sunrise at Angkor Wat to this song. Christmas Day 2022. Absolutely frakking epic. I get chills every time I watch the video I did.
battlestar galactica is an emotion
Still goosebumps
THE BEST TELEVISION DRAMA EVER MADE! An analogy of the human condition, and makes you THINK.
This is hands down my favorite scene of all the series. It packs a huge emotional punch without being too over dramatic or relying on epic set piece
Me and my family watched this entire show a while back, probably last year or the year before, and this scene is still the only one that I really remember.
It's hard to put into words how awesome the music from This series really is.
This scene will give me chills every time I see it for the rest of my life.
Still get goosebumps everytime I hear this. Its been years since I first watched that scene...
What a frakking epic moment that was! Jaw, meet Floor.
To have one more moment with someone you had thought lost forever- to connect on some level no matter what it is- god, this scene makes me cry
От этого момента мурашки по коже каждый раз...
Как же шикарно сделан сериал - лучшее из когда-либо созданного.
как же хочется продолжения...
He is Starbuck's father but I believe he is an angelic being who fathered her with Starbuck's human mother. He taught her the coordinates to our Earth when she was a child using musical notes. This same was taught to the Final Five by perhaps the same being two millennial ago and was a sub conscience trigger. That's why Starbuck's mom always knew she was special and had a purpose, just didn't know exactly what. "Kara Thrace shall lead them to their end". The end is Earth.
She was the Harbinger of Death in the sense that she would lead Humanity to its end. The end being our Earth. It would have made a lot more sense if her father was the sole Number 7 Daniel survivor that escaped Number 1's wrath. Ellen said he was a sensitive artist. Kara being the first official "in secret" hybrid child would answer the question as to why she knows the song and the coordinates to Earth and comes back as an angel. Hence making her special, having a gift, and destined for greatness.
this scene is what solidified it as one of the best shows of all time.
what a scene, what a series. every time i watch this i get goosebumps
This is Battlestar Galactica Magic!!!
It gives me tears! What a scene, a true masterpiece in so many aspects all at the same time!
I read that they planned for Dirk Benedict (original Starbuck) to play Kara's father. But they had a falling out over some critical comments Benedict made about the show. Even Katee Sackhoff ended up disliking the guy over his attitude.
Dirk Benedict was outraged that they cast a woman as Starbuck. He openly refers to Katee Sackhoff as Stardoe.
@@fodxp Not sure where you heard that. There is a photo op of the two of them together.
@@broadstrokespro Dirk Benedict stated in inteviews. In fact Katee Sackhoff had to block him on social media. She prefers not to talk about it.
This is the quote that the WOKE people didn't like...."Women are from Venus. Men are from Mars. Hamlet does not scan as Hamletta. Nor does Hans Solo as Hans Sally. Faceman is not the same as Facewoman. Nor does a Stardoe a Starbuck make. Men hand out cigars. Women “hand out” babies. And thus the world for thousands of years has gone’ round."
That was her father. He had vanished by the time Saul approached Starbuck.
Nikoletta, Yes, visually that appears to be what occurred, but I'm of the opinion he was never physically present, only operating in Kara's consciousness. No one questions where he went, as they surely would have done, if he had actually been sitting next to her.
This never fails to give me chills.
The way incorporated music in this series is fantastic. All along the watchtower, brilliant
"Its that frakking song!!"
Rafael Santos it’s in the fraking ship
There is a fun fan theory that this Angel of Kara's father is actually a Daniel model that survived Cavill's purge...
According to the theory, he received divine visions of Caprica... Drawn to the planets artistic freedom and richness he left to the colonies to pursue his love of poetry, art and so on...This is where he met Kara's mother... He would often tell her about his divine visions and foretold of the daughter they would have whom would be a "Champion of humanity"... Kara's mother bought into it so much that she wanted to see it become a reality... They got married and had a daughter, but soon their marriage hit the skids and one day he just disappeared (Much like Kara in the finale)... Grief stricken, Kara's mother sought to keep a piece of her husband around that she filled Kara's head with Daniels visions to the point Starbuck dismissed them as mere delusions... and the rest is history...
Regardless, this theory was eventually discredited by RDM stating that the Daniel plot was just supposed to be nod to Cain&Abel...
Still, it's a cool theory...a could technically be canine if they ever wanted to make it that way...
First time seeing this scene give me chills. Still does
My favorite Sci Fi of all time!
Man this was an episode to remember!
Well, watching this piece of art push me to rewatch the entire Show.
20 years later!!!
That scene is what made me realize that I trully love the show. Simply breathtaking! 🔥
Just amazing
Jimi Hendrix is a saint and I hope he is living in space flying on the Galactica along with David Bowie and Carrie Fisher
yep, but this song is of Bob Dylan...
InS4n3 STILL
@@H19Lab, not still, it's a Dylon song
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Along_the_Watchtower
@@swaneeoffback I'll be honest I'd only ever heard of the Jimmy Hendrix version. That article you posted is interesting though since Bob Dylan started performing it more like Jimmy Hendrix and sees it almost as a tribute to him every time it's played.
Tldr: thanks for the info it was an interesting read
The best scene ever
I got the chills, again. And: Every. Single. Time. One of the greatest sequences in one of the best and well-done Sci Fi series ever.
what a lovely song
Just rewatched the whole series (In about a week :D) cannot believe that I forgot this scene, the way it just leads into all along the watch tower is seamless and beautiful. This is my favourite sci fi series on reflection. So well done.
One of my fav scenes!
2:21 is my ringtone lol
Always get the chills when this scene on 👏
Best TV show of all time...simle cannot replicate the atmosphere it creted let alone the acting, soundtrack and script.
deepest way to describe a synchronicity in a mainstream show. this is a legendary tv show!
Just gives me the chills.
Hypnotic music.
I just finished the series and i am crying
One of the best séries of all times
One of the best scene ever in all films I have ever watched
Love this series it’s awesome
Even though I don't remember a single thing about the series (I had watched all of it 10 years ago) I perfectly remember this song. Frak.
This scene was so powerful.
this music give goosebumps and restlessness
Scenes like this life worth
I’ve come to realize this scene sums up exactly how I feel about the show. It has long since past and I can never have the feeling of experiencing it for the first time again and it’s sad. But at the same time it brings me joy to just remember it. Much like the colonials having only memories of their home, I have only memories of the show and reliving them brings me a melancholy joy.
This music is so powerful and passionate on what needs to b played for her to save mankind. The emotions and actions taking place of everyon just play d out perfectly to this music. All of them realizing they r the makers, the parents of the cyclones and the new ones is just heart beating which skips to each higher tone. Magical. ❤️☺️
The sheer chills i got when Tigh drops the line "What the frak?!" gets me every time.
One of the best written shows of television, and I fracking mean it!
This has all happened before! Fantastic.
By far my favorite scene
such a great show
I love Saul's reaction here. Just like the rest of the series, slightly annoyed bewilderment.
Best. Ever.
Never forgotten!! So say we all!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️absolutely stunning
