Guys, Im not going to lie, but I aways cry when I hear this. It represents hope were before there was so little. Imagine a long lost big brother coming home, a brother who you thought was dead. A brother who can help defend you from the ones who have been kicking the shit out of you for all too long. Bear McCreary is briliant. Good music can make feel the way a composer wants without a word spoken.
i lay outside on a blanket and look at the stars while listening to this. i live in the middle of nowhere so on a clear night i can see some staggering stellar events.
See I agree this is beautiful in it's own right. Also, and this has been said before, I hear something of Starcraft in this too. Would be kinda cool to see Galactica, Pegasus, and the fleet floating in space, and then all the sudden they'd make contact with Raynor's raiders. Raynor could be laying low out in the black far from the Dominion, and all the sudden he comes across this ragtag, beaten-up though not yet beaten convoy of ships. Could be interesting...
Gods... This song is so beautiful. When I saw the episode "Pegasus" and the crews of the two battlestars meeting in Galactica's hangar bay, Cain and Adama saluting each other and the cheer, I just felt so warm and fuzzy inside. :')
Good God, give me a Raptor, supplies and an Stereo with this Song and I would fly in to Space and never come back to Earth. What a peacefull place Space must be?
Well at last until America and other Governments bring War into Space and make it their new Arena for their infantile quarrels:(
@Evangelion81 i know what you mean. Can't space just be place to explore and not a shooting arena? The show Star Trek: The Next Generation really did a good job at that. Even though they're were still some fighting in some areas, there was no war or anything....well except for the Borg, but that's just how they live. Can't argue with how the universe made things the way they are.
@MCulpa look back in History. Humans will never be satisfied with what the got, their greed will force them to push forward and claim everything the can get their hands on. And even If you find a peacfull place somewhere, sooner or later others will follow your traces and peace is forfeit to the quarrels about tenure and economics.
@Evangelion81 I pray that day happens. (I would love to see space combat) I dont like the idea of our Terran Conflicts expanding so much into outer space but I do forsee it happening. So Say We All.
@deviss113789 in space the chances of us being divided just not vary logical. What's stopping us from using our space ships to bomb russia. or russia doing the same to china, or china to us. if we divide ourselves even in space. earth will become a desecrated rock that is uninhabitable!
@deviss113789 I think you got the wrong picture of it. Combat on earth is already cruel enough but in open Space it would be horrible and I won´t try to imagine it. Stop thinking of Comat as a honorful and righteous thing like it is displayed in Games and Films, these are romantisised viewings. Combat is no fun and it is no glory in it.
@Evangelion81 I am probably wasting my breath saying this, but I am an American citizen. I am very proud of that fact. Please do not generalize our entire country or other countries for that matter based on the actions of the few. I myself do not seek war. In fact, i wish to see it abolished, as do many of those I care for.
@Gwentheferret Countries... and their peoples. If non-hostile aliens came along and offered me a lift to their home planet, I'd take a one-way ticket for myself and any member of my family or friends that wanted to go as well...
so? there's enough room to do ANYTHING in space. frak, their puny wars will not even be noticed. that's why i love space: its grandness is beyond human comprehension!
Joseph Sisko: You know, there's something I just don't understand. You're always telling me that space is big, that it's an endless frontier, filled with infinite wonders.
Captain Sisko: It's true...!
Joseph Sisko: Well, if that's the case, you would think it would be more than enough room to allow people to leave each other alone.
Captain Sisko: It just doesn't work that way. It should; but it doesn't...
im not familiar with DS9, but hes right. i imagine that once we go in space, wars and conflicts will be purely ideological. its not like there isn't enough room or resources out there. heck, world war 2 was a pure ideological war. so will any space war. these guys won't like those guys, those guys won't like the other guys, the other guys won't like these guys and they start jumping at each others necks. animals fight for resources, but we have all the resources we need, so...
To be honest, I'd put Battlestar down as a type rather than a class. In the same way that a Battleship is a type, but there are many Classes of Battleship
Season 3 is 2nd best. 2 is the best. The whole Kobol arc is awesome, not to mention the Pegasus arc(my favorite in the series). Pre-election times are pretty great too. Season 3 just has the exodus from New Caprica at the start and the Baltar trials at the end. Both very good, but the middle lags a lot. Alge planet arc is kind of so-so.
Being a BSG Fan, and Actually Meeting Michelle Forbes in Melbourne not to long ago, I must say, This Song, Really Captures What Pegasus and Cain is about. is it Real? Whats the Mystery About it? How did it Survive?
What has Cain Done? Who is she Really? its just a Very Mysterious Piece.
I love this tune. For some reason it reminds me of some half remembered RPG that maybe never existed, or maybe Lost Odyssey. Either way, I creates a nostalgic, wistful feeling, which is even more appropriate given the context of the discovery of the Pegasus as some unbelievable dream come true.
What a wonderful sight the Pegasus was, rising from the dead.
A brilliant episode in which the elation of the rag tag fleet is tangible, at first at least until they realise the war mongerer Cain is.
Shame they destroyed the Pegasus, having two Battlestars to slug it out the rest of the run would have opened many possibilities. Still, atleast they kept her around longer than in the original Battlstar series.
I know, I too wanted to Pegasus to have lasted up to the end as well. Of course she would have been scuttled into the sun anyways like the rest of the fleet.
First this song made me happy and a little melancholic. Now it's making me very wistful. It is a theme of hope, distant hope, and longing - I can feel the sadness there is behind. Only one word to describe McCreary's work on Galactica: absolutely phenomenal. And that was two words.
Damn, this scene was easily one of the most emotional and powerful scenes in the entire series. The slow dawning that the Galactic wasn't in for another fight with Cylons, but had finally found a much deserved reunion with fellow human survivors. Unfortunately the joy was short lived, but the beginning of that episode still stands out as one of the highlights of the entire show.
@IneptTroopr Pegasus and the two Resurrection Ship episodes that came right after are some of the best episodes of Season 2. Season 2 was the best of the whole series.
@KaitainCPS I tend to agree overall, but season three did give us such epic moments as "Were demons chief" and the jump on top of new caprica. But yeah, the mid season angsty bits braught the average irreperably low...
@KaitainCPS I loved season 3. Every single episode had some completely new theme and subtext. There is that cool thread involving the infected beacon, and we see what goes on in the Basestars. I also liked the entire season was essentially about them "getting over" what happened on New Caprica. The stuff involving The Temple was a little iffy but it was handled well. And there was that cool episode where they had to jump through the radiated nebula and end up losing entire vessels. Good times.
In the Pegasus episode, when they cut from Galactica's CIC to the Pegasus CIC, it is one of the most mind blowing scenes in the whole series because you are so accustomed to seeing Galactica and its crew, but to see another ship with a completely different crew is amazing. Pegasus and the two Resurrection Ship episodes that followed are some of the best in the whole series. It's a shame what happened to Col. Jack Fisk. He may have been a black market shit, but he was a likable shit.
@pf1z3r The only time Galactica's CIC looked any worse than before was during and right after the rescue from New Caprica. It's very interesting to see Admiral Adama patching up and hooking conduit wires while Galactica is taking a frakking pounding.
Admiral Helena Cain reminds me a bit of the real life Admiral William F. "Bull" Halsey; they were both defined as loose cannons. The difference being, thankfully, that Adm. Halsey never got the chance to do to the Japanese Carrier Strike Force that attacked Pearl Harbor what Adm. Cain did at the Battle of the Comm Relay. (Not that Halsey would have won against such overwhelming odds the way Cain and Pegasus did with the Cylons)
I'm no geek: (Okay, maybe a little..) I just ran into this when I used to play club penguin at seven or so, when my dad was on the other pc playing WoW, and he had this song on in the background. He was playing it today (Who knows why) and I remembered it had been my favorite at once.
I love the last bit of music from the Pegasus episode (when Adama and Cain launch their vipers against eachother) yet sadly I don't think it made any of the soundtrack releases :(
Cain was the way she was, because she found out the love of her life was a cylon. Imagine if that had happened to Adama? Also Cain didn't have Roslin from the get go like Adama did. She had no family... except for her crew. She was blindsided, betrayed, and left (or so she thought) all alone. She was a deeply flawed and emotional person who felt she needed to hide her weeknesses and therefore she lacked compassion. Adama and Cain were very much alike. Cain however lost touch with reality.
@WickIDwarrior Also, remember that Adama was also planning to continue vainly attacking the Cylons at first, just like Cain. It was only after a great deal of persuasion by Roslin that he decided to leave with the fleet.
with the old Pegasus you always hoped she made it through but you knew she didn't as the battle never showed what happened to her. With this Pegasus she died with Honor doing what she was ment to do
....since i was watching the old battlestar episodes when i was a teen, i always hoped the pegasus aka the beast will show up in the remake....i was like fucking hell yeah when she did so....i was yelling around and had goosebumps on every sq inch of my body....it was a frakking long time untill to see her in action together with the gradn old lady....BSG FOR EVER...action stations...
The story of Pegasus - awesome, powerful, but so, so tragic... to be one of the most sought after tours of duty within the colonial fleet before the war, and then to become such a turn of bad luck and malcontent... The one thing I wished dearly was that during The Plan they showed the cylon crews aboard the base stars' reactions when Peggy showed up and then hurled into her suicide run...
You know, i tought the simple green blip on the dreidus gave a bigger sense of relief then the actual encounter with the Pegasus a moment later. Symbols can have great power.
I lke that when the decided to bring in Pegasus they didnt do what the original series did, they kept her around the rest of season 2 and she went out with a bang in Season 3. Funny thing to im pretty sure everyone knew someway somehow Lee was gonna get the command of Pegasus and what does he do with her, Saves his Dad and takes out 3 Bay Stars with her. Best Thing Ever
That guitar and that effect is also used in the Star Fox 64 track "Black Hole". It gives the sensation of being in deep space. It's not a sense of emptiness but more of massive area and depth all around you. Infinite openness. It's also a grand feeling of solitude, but not disconnection or loneliness. Peace. I think of the guitar as the sound you would be able to hear if you could exist in space without a suit or vessel.
yeah. just awesome. i mean they'd been fighting, kicking cylon ass, running for their lives, and suddenly an unknown contact appears squawking colonial ID. so most of them are like 'noott agaiiinnnnn'. but wait! it's squawking colonial ID. a cylon trap?
no. instead, another baseship! awesome. now the military prowess of the fleet is doubled!
I like this song. esp the bass guitar and the guitar parts. makes me have that feeling of kicking back and relaxing after a hard day's work.
@JarJar88forever the model's were self aware machine's capable of functioning completely on their own and capable of free thought. If they said no, then you can't go against their wishes.
@wavelength121 Shouldn't that be "Greetings, Adama! We come bearing spare parts, raping officers, an updated entertainment system, shang-highed civilians AND drugged up officers. Our ships is in top condition, and we've got everything we want? So... hows your day then?"
to see pegasus jump in would be the greatest thing ever
why?
your in a lone battleship(witch is very old and not very fight worthy, in the first place) , with low supplies , low moral , and you half to safe guard a large defenseless civillian fleet, and guide all of them to a salvation, witch probably dosent exist, being presued by a massive fleet, with far more advanced tech , seeking to destroy you...
If i was in the head position and saw a warship far more powerfull, arrive id be exstatic :)

Damn, this scene was easily one of the most emotional and powerful scenes in the entire series. The slow dawning that the Galactic wasn't in for another fight with Cylons, but had finally found a much deserved reunion with fellow human survivors. Unfortunately the joy was short lived, but the beginning of that episode still stands out as one of the highlights of the entire show.

@IneptTroopr Pegasus and the two Resurrection Ship episodes that came right after are some of the best episodes of Season 2. Season 2 was the best of the whole series.

@Northwro I agree that they're the best of season 2, but season 2 is kind of the low point of the series in my mind...

No way. Season 3 was the worst by miles.

@KaitainCPS I tend to agree overall, but season three did give us such epic moments as "Were demons chief" and the jump on top of new caprica. But yeah, the mid season angsty bits braught the average irreperably low...
C603032 1 year ago
@KaitainCPS I loved season 3. Every single episode had some completely new theme and subtext. There is that cool thread involving the infected beacon, and we see what goes on in the Basestars. I also liked the entire season was essentially about them "getting over" what happened on New Caprica. The stuff involving The Temple was a little iffy but it was handled well. And there was that cool episode where they had to jump through the radiated nebula and end up losing entire vessels. Good times.

In the Pegasus episode, when they cut from Galactica's CIC to the Pegasus CIC, it is one of the most mind blowing scenes in the whole series because you are so accustomed to seeing Galactica and its crew, but to see another ship with a completely different crew is amazing. Pegasus and the two Resurrection Ship episodes that followed are some of the best in the whole series. It's a shame what happened to Col. Jack Fisk. He may have been a black market shit, but he was a likable shit.

@Northwro especially comparing how nice Pegasus CIC was next to Galacticas..
pf1z3r 1 year ago
@pf1z3r The only time Galactica's CIC looked any worse than before was during and right after the rescue from New Caprica. It's very interesting to see Admiral Adama patching up and hooking conduit wires while Galactica is taking a frakking pounding.

Admiral Helena Cain reminds me a bit of the real life Admiral William F. "Bull" Halsey; they were both defined as loose cannons. The difference being, thankfully, that Adm. Halsey never got the chance to do to the Japanese Carrier Strike Force that attacked Pearl Harbor what Adm. Cain did at the Battle of the Comm Relay. (Not that Halsey would have won against such overwhelming odds the way Cain and Pegasus did with the Cylons)

I'm no geek: (Okay, maybe a little..) I just ran into this when I used to play club penguin at seven or so, when my dad was on the other pc playing WoW, and he had this song on in the background. He was playing it today (Who knows why) and I remembered it had been my favorite at once.

I love the last bit of music from the Pegasus episode (when Adama and Cain launch their vipers against eachother) yet sadly I don't think it made any of the soundtrack releases :(

Cain was the way she was, because she found out the love of her life was a cylon. Imagine if that had happened to Adama? Also Cain didn't have Roslin from the get go like Adama did. She had no family... except for her crew. She was blindsided, betrayed, and left (or so she thought) all alone. She was a deeply flawed and emotional person who felt she needed to hide her weeknesses and therefore she lacked compassion. Adama and Cain were very much alike. Cain however lost touch with reality.
WickIDwarrior 1 year ago 2
@WickIDwarrior Also, remember that Adama was also planning to continue vainly attacking the Cylons at first, just like Cain. It was only after a great deal of persuasion by Roslin that he decided to leave with the fleet.

with the old Pegasus you always hoped she made it through but you knew she didn't as the battle never showed what happened to her. With this Pegasus she died with Honor doing what she was ment to do

The story of Pegasus - awesome, powerful, but so, so tragic... to be one of the most sought after tours of duty within the colonial fleet before the war, and then to become such a turn of bad luck and malcontent... The one thing I wished dearly was that during The Plan they showed the cylon crews aboard the base stars' reactions when Peggy showed up and then hurled into her suicide run...

I lke that when the decided to bring in Pegasus they didnt do what the original series did, they kept her around the rest of season 2 and she went out with a bang in Season 3. Funny thing to im pretty sure everyone knew someway somehow Lee was gonna get the command of Pegasus and what does he do with her, Saves his Dad and takes out 3 Bay Stars with her. Best Thing Ever

That guitar and that effect is also used in the Star Fox 64 track "Black Hole". It gives the sensation of being in deep space. It's not a sense of emptiness but more of massive area and depth all around you. Infinite openness. It's also a grand feeling of solitude, but not disconnection or loneliness. Peace. I think of the guitar as the sound you would be able to hear if you could exist in space without a suit or vessel.

Wow, you are so right. It's a sense of floating in "infinite openness" (I love that term)

yeah. just awesome. i mean they'd been fighting, kicking cylon ass, running for their lives, and suddenly an unknown contact appears squawking colonial ID. so most of them are like 'noott agaiiinnnnn'. but wait! it's squawking colonial ID. a cylon trap?
no. instead, another baseship! awesome. now the military prowess of the fleet is doubled!
I like this song. esp the bass guitar and the guitar parts. makes me have that feeling of kicking back and relaxing after a hard day's work.

to see pegasus jump in would be the greatest thing ever
why?
your in a lone battleship(witch is very old and not very fight worthy, in the first place) , with low supplies , low moral , and you half to safe guard a large defenseless civillian fleet, and guide all of them to a salvation, witch probably dosent exist, being presued by a massive fleet, with far more advanced tech , seeking to destroy you...
If i was in the head position and saw a warship far more powerfull, arrive id be exstatic :)
