Tigh's Speech

[Triangularthing]

Hey Captain Bailey!!!

[lewisvanatta]

Have to remember this one for church.....

[pdluhy]

Doc Mitchell noooo...

[flavoredwallpaper]

Wow, this scene is especially interesting in retrospect, having watched the show in its entirety...

[Arkayem]

Blah blah cylon blah, DAYUM PASS THE BLUNT TIGH.

[laxton]

all these serious comments, this line made me piss my pants laughing when I heard it the first time "surprised you didn't know that",,,,,best line in all of battlestar

[dhollseed]

if there's anyone that comes close to John Locke as best TV character ever, it's Colonel Tigh

[TheGrauCommisar]

I love that speech.

[PegasusViperTopGun62]

Colonel Tigh Cigarettes! Only for real men!

[ceheape]

@PegasusViperTopGun62 You mean, real cylons. ;)

[FrozenHeart05]

He ain't rolling no blunt. Christ, kids today don't even know about hand-made smokes. Pure, dried tobbacco and a piece of paper - way stronger than that bullshit they market as "cigarettes".

[Virtus9]

@FrozenHeart05 I hereby affirm the above statements and yield the remainder of my time to the chair.

[ls1z28chris]

@FrozenHeart05 I call BS. Every town has a hipster section. Go there and witness a bunch of people rolling their own cigarettes. Get out quick before they see you. They don't shower.

[kokoinmars]

That was one of the coolest and the best lines I've ever heard on TV. He has no illusions of what they are, and he shows it.

[Halo4Lyf]

@kokoinmars He's a veteran soldier who has come to terms with what he is and what he does.

[kokoinmars]

@Halo4Lyf No. What he is doing is crazy and hopeless. He has come to terms with that.

[Halo4Lyf]

@kokoinmars The fact that the colonials made it off New Caprica proves you wrong.

[kokoinmars]

@Halo4Lyf Well we knew that they would, because then the TV show would end right there. But the characters didn't know that. So there...

[poetdesmond]

So say we all.

[ColonelHakha]

Tyrol: >:(

[CyberDeadly]

Whoa. Check out Mr. Bringdown.

Quit bogarting that joint.

[mkPraetorian]

ironic Saul?NO WAY, THIS IS FRACKING REAL

[agentm31]

I like this quote because he's telling the chief something not only what they were on New Caprica, but what they were in the fleet in season 4. (tried to keep that spoiler free)

[dbassplayer]

DAMN, that's a good quote!!

[NathanRomml]

Oh c'mon.He was just ironically quoting Cylon propaganda.

[jbmorgan]

Typically brilliant writing for BSG. The brutal philosophy of guerrilla war summed up in a few lines. And I always thought that Tigh was the most interesting and best-acted character on the show, with only Adama, Roslyn or Baltar coming close.

[AllTerroristsMustDie]

I agree -- except you sadly left out my favorite 2 characters: Cain and Cavil.

[Freedom4Ever1776]

"Evil men in the gardens of paradise."

[zinki120]

I found Saul's speech quite ironic esp. when they found that they're Cylons (season 3) and revelations of what they have done in the past leading to the present (season 4).

[mkPraetorian]

this is one of the milion dollar speech in BSG which text is ironic,but not funny.

That is why i love BSG!Awesome dramatic scenes!101points from 100

[hemanRAWR]

The best part about this scene is that Col. Tigh appears to be rolling a blunt while speaking

[themunster]

you knows he tokes :D

[Unclesamslair]

@hemanRAWR

I know! I always wondered about that.

[hitman2actual]

Without a doubt, the most chilling scene in the entire series. This adds another dimension to an already complex character.

[minotauron12]

Better yet, S03 ep.14, the epidemic among the civilians. Tigh provokes Helo to punch him, then says: "So, you do give a frak about friends and loyalty. Good, so it should be. But you know what? I give a frak too. You keep soiling Mike Roberts good name and you and I are gonna finish this. How's that sound to you?" Helo gives no reply, so Tigh chuckles and says: "You better have the doctor take a look at that hand". Wow...

[takomaguy]

Senator McCain is a scary guy!

[richiebabe24]

This isn't as good as what he says to Roslin when she complains about his use of suicide bombers.

[takomaguy]

Maybe, maybe not. But if not, then it's a damn close second!

[GJWHITEHOUSE]

Just goes to show how men re-act in the face of adversity. Astounding self insight. Does anyone know where i can find the discussion Adama has with Boomer/Athena before she goes to New Caprica about trust?

[HCN8]

Awesome.

[naikrovek]

i think tigh is setting up some explosives there. based on his location (underground) and his demeanor i'd say he's doing resistance work.

this small monologue and the dialogue he has with Roslyn later in the episode are what really made me love Tigh as a character. "so take your peity, and your moralizing, and your high-minded principles and stick 'em someplace safe until you're back in your cushy chair on Colonial one; i've got a job to do." just pure undeniable 100% awesome.

[captainrage]

I used to hate Tigh, but the whole new caprica arc made him one of my favorite characters.

[takomaguy]

Saul's one mean, hard, sonofabitch. To bad he doesn't exist in the Trek 'verse.

[CoMa7oSe]

was tigh rollin a doobie there?

[takomaguy]

You got to toke on the "holy smoke" before you blow shit up!

[kakulash]

In "Eye of Jupiter", when Adama says they're getting ready to nuke the planet, Tigh is surprised at first...but then smiles.

[donsteitz]

i was looking for that. this has got to be one of those famous slightly more than 1 liners.
