The scene where the basestars are bombarding the battlestar galactica and camera start to go away is the most dramatic scene I ever experienced with a TV series. Seriously, for a second there I thought they would destroy the Galactica.
.
No other moment in the series was so perfectly stored in my memory.
@padamibr Yeah i agree with you there mate, definitely one of the best scenes i remember. It was perfectly timed and the music just added to it. The speech wasn't overly cheesy either, just before the panning out, not like most where its "LETS DO THIS, WE BEAT THEM STILL" but a acceptance of victory but at a cost, their own lives. Then the Pegasus arriving was the best timed and one of my favourite scenes out of the whole series.
@Badmicakaneo We will achieve this technology eventually, though it will probably take hundreds, or maybe thousands of years. There was no common enemy in the colonials time, as they had most of this technology when they were creating the cylons. The rate of which our technological development is increasing will ultimately lead to this technology existing.
@TonyEvans96 Though as the show says at the end, in the words of Baltar and Six, this time I don't think so, due to the law of averages. Then again, the show itself is a warning to us I think, saying that if we keep going to AI and machines, may that be how we end up? On the run from the very things we create. There's a lot of meaning in the show to think about, atleast that's what i find personally.
@TRUExSIGHTS I completely agree, though I doubt it's preventable. Even while "common" people like you or me can see the eventual effects of it, politcians and governments cannot (A-bomb, hyodrgen bomb, nuclear warheads, what's next), and continue building until they collapse in on themselves.
I don't see why they feel they have to sacrifice the Pegasus... they could have swapped aggression with the Galactica, give her a chance to jump, then jump away themselves. Two battlestars are a whole lot better than one.
@420Rokn It's to do with the show itself. It's called BattleStar Galactica, there's no mention of Pegasus itself in there. Yes 2 battlestars are better than one, but takes away the idea of a struggle for survival, one battlestar against a fleet. One vs all sounds a lot better than 2 vs all, no matter how little a difference it makes. Also, the Pegasus had too scarred a history to be there at the end, when humanity starts again as it had a terrible past under Cain.
@Scioneer That's because they were likely going to re-introduce her in the later series, which were never produced. It would give a large array of plots to pan out a few more seasons with, so they introduced a bit more storyline. To be honest, i think this was the better way to get rid of the Pegasus, where we alll knew she went down fighting, and saw how, instead of "she probably did"
God I love that scene where they're just broadsiding the shit out of the base star, blow it up, then just pivot and broad side the shit out of the other one.
Well... I thought it was beautiful! Nice choice of music and the vid itself I viewed on the small screen, here on YouTube, actually was easier to follow than the actual DVDs as viewed on my 65" big screen Mitsubishi... The camera shake and movements are just too much to take in on the DVDs, orientation is lost easily. On this vid the scenes actually make more sense about what the authors wanted to portray. I shall have to rewatch these scenes with my living room lights on. Good job-thumbs up!
i loved the 4 series but the one thing that pissed me off was when they had the chance to spread the infection and didn't cus the dude suffocated the skin jobs before they jumped and Adama just let it go
@RevelAlliance Well I've had similar debates before. The reason they didn't (and shouldn't have) is because they argued they deserved to survive and fought to because of their humanity and compassion, which the machines didn't have. If they committed genocide aswell, like the cylons, then ultimately they are no better, and just prove 6's criticism that the Cylons were simply children, who had learnt their habits from their parents (the humans who created them).
@TRUExSIGHTS morally absolutely, just as a tactical decision in a state of war where the survival of your species is at stake and the alliance with enemy remnants was not on the cards it was an awful choice. but yes its was a good plot in the whole 'what gives us the right to survive as a species' theme, just got under my skin especially as it was the cylon lover. war doesn't deiced who's right just who's left, but who's left writes history and history decides who's right haha. nice one
One of the best shows and the most real sf show ever made.Cant wait for the new series about the first war.Writing a fanfic altough i might even publish it like a crossover between this and the stargate show and one that has a real good back story and it doesn't change the story of sg or bsg exept for the ending of bsg (last 5 min)
Time for an alternate reality spin off where the Cylons fail to disable the colonial defenses before the invasion. 150 Colonial Battlestars vs 300 Cylon ships. That would be too epic for words.
@longbeard1407 Omg wtf man, really? This series is epic. It has excellent visuals. Excellent and fleshed out characters who evolve remarkably troughout the series. Adrenaline rushing music. On top of all that, it does excellent reflection of important themes of the world today.
I have never loved any series as much as this one.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
they tried to out do themselves in the battlestar galactia II and it stunk the original with loren green was the best . what were they thinking when they didn't use the vocoder in the second bg the sound effects are half the movie . I watched two episodes and never watched again.all these remakes now we have the technology to do megga hits and they drop the ball I cannot understand their thinking ! gurkirpal singh
@longbeard1407 If you hate it that much, why bother coming to watch a tribute to the new series? You can tell by the first 20 seconds what series it's made from. And if you read the video information you would be able to tell from the episode names. They were going to attempt to remake the old series with the old series style effects, and I've seen the trailer for it and it looked... well half baked. The complete remake in my opinion was a good thing and I've seen both types of series.
@longbeard1407 if you like camp you'll love the first one. I loved it too as a kid but then this came along and showed just what the original could have been.
@Ahrisss Lee wasn't a war criminal. He was a commanding officer of the Pegasus. Garner was just an engineer, he had very little decisions in anything, much like Chief Tyrol would not be deciding tactics or objectives for the Galactica. That's a incredibly broad statement which is unjust. True, some of the commanders overstepped what was right and did commit attrocities, but then who forced them into that? The cylons by wiping out their planets. It was one battlestar alone against a civilisation.
@Ahrisss The term war criminal ceased being relevent when the Cylons purged the colonial homeworlds with nuclear weapons, it becomes survival by any means because survival is ultimately all that matters. Anyway had Pegasus not done what they did they most likely would never have met Galactica and the human race might well have been doomed. All events can lead to an overall positive outcome regardless of morality.
@KrazyKommieKiller Survival alone is not enough. You must be able to live with yourself. Adama explicitly says that early in the series. The term war criminal is always relevant. If they did not stick to their values then ultimately what are they fighting for? They said they were fighting for the colonies but they had essentially turned their back on the ideals of the colonies. Yes it ultimately worked out well, but that does not make it right.
@MrIlovegamez Yes and no. She was only protecting her crew at the expense of many civilians lives'. That is not her protecting her people at all, as the civilians were the priority there aswell for survival of the race. Ultimately just getting back into the fight would have been futile (though i respect the decision of not just giving up, however foolhardy it was). The priority should have been survival of as many humans as possible for Cain.
There is a crossover story (Hunted tribes by hotpoint) were the colonials (before the death of the Pegasus) encounter clan Wolverine and ally with them against the cylons who gets so much asskicking that I almost felt sorry for them!
@TheShadowwolf88 No They don't. They are lightly armoured and designed for fast (hit and run mostly) mass attacks. Also they were nearly totally reliant upon the element of suprise and the virus working against the colonies. Battlestars on the other hand are heavily armoured and most accurate up close (as the cylon missiles have much more advanced guidance systems). However, if you look at the older basestars (in razor flashbacks) they were battlestar killers to an extent.
The end of the Pegasus was a salute to TOS, where the '70s Peggy took on two base ships as Baltar fled in the third. Adama told him to lead them away instead, but Cain refused. That is why Lee didn't jump his ship at the last instant in this series. It would be three less base stars to prowl around in search of the fleet. Series total base star kills between the two battlestars was six, I think, counting the one Boomer blew up, not counting the one destroyed by the rebel base star.
@iammjolnir Well one died through leading by example (garner in his own way) which is how COs should act. Cain admittedly had it coming, but she also led by example and was a strong CO. Fisk was the only bad CO in my opinion. Yeah in the military you tend to go through officers like the plague especially in past wars such as WW2 and WW1 where officers were expected to lead by example and so often were killed early on. They have the highest casualty rates on the whole usually. Thanks for watching
@iammjolnir True, but then a spaceship is a dangerous place. Look at the casualties among the other ranks that occured more often. Pilots probably had the second highest death ratio out of the whole ship. But i guess 75% mortality rate for one rank is high. However as i said, officers tend to have higher casualty rates as for one they are in lower numbers, but also because they are expected to lead where they ask others to go, and so pretty often die first.
its thanks to Baltar in a sense the Peggy got pwned. He gave Gina the nuke which she detonated on Cloud 9 alerting the cylons and one year later in a rescue attempt Peggy got pwned saving Galactica's butt so it all leads to BALTAR!!! Cain was just (like Wikifrakr says) Admiral Pscyho Lesbian, Fisk i dunno, Garner was a Hero and Lee was just a stupid fool.
@ufsantaris555 Garner was NOT a hero. He had good intentions but made stupid mistakes. He jumped the Pegasus into a trap and almost got it destroyed by 3 basestars, while defying an admiral's order not to. He risked his ship and his crew because he didn't realize the stupidity of his mistake.
Baltar had failings, like all of the characters. Yes he may have given her the nuke, but he did so out of a guilty conscience about the way she had been treated, so whos to blame more, him or Cain?
@ufsantaris555 Then really shouldn't you blame the creator of the cylons. Baltar didn't actually make them and the Cylons were the ones who destroyed the Pegasus and nearly all of humanity. You can't blame Baltar for a few mistakes, he is after all human like everyone else in the fleet, even Adama made mistakes (like trying to take down Roslin at the end of season 1). Even the Cylons themselves made mistakes, and they were supposed to be a better version of the humans.
@videoguy604 Ah, I kind of get you now. Well, yes and no. There were no better alternatives to Lee Adama tbh, as shown by Fisk and Garner. Both had complete failings whereas lee tried his best. Atleast Lee Adama had a basic grasp of battle tactics (too say the least) and knew how to fight - shown by his decision in Exodus part 2.
@dmkavidelly Yeah true, i didn't think that properly through, though i had limited access to clips at the time. Also it was true the Pegasus fought a lone battle of revenge under Cain, and then met the Galactica and that toned it down a bit.
BattleShip Pegasus: A truely unmatched battle ship of the Colonial fleet. She was a huge battle ship that could get you where ever. She looked alot like the Galactica. *sniff* But on that day.....The day of infamy.....She was lost forever. She had gone and her crew knowing that their mission was complete. Remember that day. *Sniff* Sempi Fi carry on.
@TheRobloxian23 Yeah she was a good ship, though the Columbia and Atlanta were supposed to be bigger and much much stronger (as the Atlanta was the flagship of the fleet). Though we never see them to be fair so can't truly judge.
Nice video, but a similar dirge is available from the Miniseries without borrowing Gladiator. I believe it's called 'The Storm And The Dead', where the Galactica completes her first jump in 20 years and winds up in orbit of Ragnar to pick up ammo. It has excellent mourning vocals, really haunting.
@Planetar17 I know the music your refferring to and yeah it is good, but as the rest of the music was gladiator I don't think it would sit in aswell, as the key could have been different (yes that would have created a slight clash most likely in a change over of music tracks) and the feel/pace probably would have been hugely different. I never tried it though so unfortunately I'll never know whether it would have fitted better or not =(
In my Opinion I think Lee Adama knew that the Galactica would get its ass handed to itself and Lee knew how much galactica was important to Will so I bet he thought that was the only way to save galactica and her crew, But also Lee knew that he could plan the escape raptors to the fleet so it was probably the best plan that happened in that season.
@3hitproductions Well.. yes and no to that. lee knew the Galactica would have a tough fight, but the Galactica could hold off 2 basestars on its own, which has been proved time and time again throughout the series, for example at Ragnar and during 33. However, lee probably realized that he needed to go back and help Adama, and he couldnt live with himself if the Galactica was destroyed and he hadn't returned to help. But yeah he also knew Gal was important to his father
@MANBEARPIG248 indeed, that is also the main point in why the Pegasus was destroyed. In the origional series the Pegasus was returned and was also destroyed a few episodes later (PRESUMED THOUGH, as it was last seen fighting against two basestars, which was almost impossible odds... though may have reappeared later on). While they Peggy was a beast of a ship, the Galactica had class and style that the Peggy cant match in a series :P
@TRUExSIGHTS The Galactica was in no shape to fight even one basestar after the Adama maneuver. They were screwed and their FTL's were shot. It wasn't just about saving the ship, that was more than likely a suicide mission from it's inception, Lee was right about that. But Bill had to go down trying or he wouldn't be able to live with himself leaving all those people on New Caprica.
@dealmaker007 Well, arguably that is true, as the Galactica was under half strength, so would have problems. However, they had scattered the cylon raiders so would only have to deal with capital ships, so could potentially hold off 2. What happened was though they were surrounded by 4 basestars and couldnt concentrate their fire in one direction (or even 2 if it came to it) as they were hit from all angles. But yeah they would've struggled even against two basestars.
@TRUExSIGHTS If I remember correctly Adama's plan was to lead the 2 basestars away from the planet as a distraction so the fleet ships could get away, not necessarally to fight the 2 basestars toe to toe. They had all kinds of system failures after the freefall into atmostphere and jump back to orbit. The other 2 basestars that jumped in pretty much killed any of those plans. It was bone chilling when Adama asked Karl about the Jump Drives and he shook his head. Adama's face fell :(
@dealmaker007 Well, lead away was definately part of the plan, but from what i remember basestars can move faster than battlestars, and are more manouvreable (due to their design i believe, there are some very good clips from season four showing that). So leading away would lead to a battle ultimately anyway. BSG wouldn't necessarily go toe to toe with them, may just do what happened at ragnar and sit in a defensive position to cover the civilians escape.
The scene where it looks like the Galactica is gonna kiCk the Bucket (pun intended) and then the Pegasus show up, was the most epic moment of the series.
@TRUExSIGHTS Which episode is the one where the Pegasus comes out to save the galactica. I saw a clip there. 3 of those cylon crusiers destroyed when the pegasus came out of light speed
@blackhawk438 Its faster than light by the way (FTL) not lightspeed :P. I think you mean Exodus Part 2, where the galactica is surrounded by 4 basestars, and yeah the pegasus destroys 2, and is suspected to have crippled or heavily damaged a 3rd, the 4th no-one knows what damage that received.
@jkantor267 ROFL, except it's THE best series ever of ANY genre. Beginning, middle and most of all...ending, was well throught out and superb. Unlike so many other shows out there that start off great and then start to suck balls. Then gives you an ending that just pisses you off cause it sucked so badly.
@doctorclu True it's not for everyone, but you can't deny it makes it feel like your seeing it yourself and your filming it, involving you alot more with the series. I didn't like it at first but grew to love it some reason
i love the way a Capitol ship is used as the big gunz in battlestar, something star trek never managed, star trek was too concerned with morality and shit that it couldn't grasp the concept of what a capitol ship's roll was. just love BSG for that
@Bluetorchproductions if you look at the deep space 9 series of star trek the capital ships do take the role of the big guns but star trek itself was never about the battle for survival all the time and genocide.
@Waratahoftroy If you look closely enough, the borg were NEVER about wiping out races. The whole idea was to assimilate and use their knowledge, instead of kill off. Genocide means to wipe out a race and kill every member, not assimilate it into your culture, albeit against their will. The whole idea of geonocide was against the borg idea of collective knowledge.
Genocide has many forms, killing every member of a race is not the only way of genocidal behavior, forcing a race to assimilate into yours is also genocide.....
@Waratahoftroy By the very definition of genocide (systematic killing of a racial or cultural group) it shows that the borg were not genocidal. Agreed they forced races to be assimilated, but did not kill those members (where possible) and so can not be called genocidal. While it is arguable that the culture may have died out due to the assimilation, it is not true genocide thus they are not a genocidal race, more of a cumpolsory join race.
@TRUExSIGHTS That is arguable. Genocide means "systematic killing of racial or cultural group." By assimilating into drones, your basically destroying their personality, thoughts, and ways, which is kind of killing them in every way except physically.
@Nitroglycerine1000 That's the whole point though, they arn't killing them or their culture, but absorbing it. The culture still exists throughout the collective. If anything, their culture has expanded, though not in easily noticeable means, as the collective uses the knowledge which makes it more powerful. There is no actual killing involved, thus it cannot be Genocide. The only race that truly attempted Genocide was Species 8472. The Borg didn't attempt it on that scale or extent.
@Nitroglycerine1000 Really that was the rogue elemnt of the Federation, Section 31 i think it was called. It was not the legitimate branch of the federation (though was proved to have some extent of go ahead during the war, but not official). However, it was prevented by members of the Federation itself and the overall Federation would not have allowed it to happen in the first place, even during a time of war.
@Nitroglycerine1000 Thanks :) always nice to know some people enjoy the videos i make. Some of my others arnt liked as much as this one though personally i dont know why as they were much better but i guess that they arnt to everyones tastes.
Wasn't part of the reason that Pegasus had to die to do with the way Cain ran the ship right after the attack? Galactica under Adama chose to assist civilians and escort them to safety, but Pegasus ripped parts out of any civilian ships she found and impressed useful civilians into her crew, leaving the rest of them to die.
Dying like this, taking out the Basestar blockade over New Caprica so that Galactica could rescue the civvies is a sort of redemption for her.
@Apolloin Yes that is likely part of the rerason for Pegasus being killed off, but also to keep it in line (partially anyway, there's all the origional hints in the new series) of the old show, where the Pegasus survived but was destroyed (well atleast hinted at - not confirmed) a few episodes later. It would seem highly plausable though that the death of the Pegasus was also a redemption for the things she had done in the past, although a Battlestar has no choice over its actions
@TRUExSIGHTS Well, no, of course you're right about a battlestar having no choice over her actions. :)
All I meant was that something was decidedly 'sick' aboard The Beast, and frequent changes of command did nothing to resolve that sickness. If you look at the commanders of Pegasus, each of them was flawed in their own way, and Pegasus seemed to bring out those flaws:
Caine - Brutality and Madness.
The Engineer (whose name I've forgotten) - Lack of empathy
@RedAllStars2010 All the insurance companies were nuked so i doubt thats gonna help it :P Maybe it was insured against 3 basestars as thats the amount of damage it dealt out before being destroyed.
once again we see that if frakin baltar hadn't so stupid to hand over a nuke to the six, the cloud nine wouldn't have been destroyed, therefore no radiation, the cylons would have never found new caprica and some years or decades later, when maybe new battlestars would have been built, the humans could have taken back the 12 colonies by force. so actually if baltar would have not fraked up so often there would have been no reason for the series anyway^
@NappyFanBoy See that's a plothole for me. If the Cylons were able to hack into computer systems with wifi-like technology then why couldn't have they have hacked the computer system without using Baltar?
@xhandbasketx Look at Scattered (episode 1 of season 2) where Gaeta rigged up a simple firewall (only simple in his quick version) to keep the cylons out. This would have been replicated on a huge scale across the colonial fleet much as the modern defence network today has many security protocals you must over come to gain access to it. It can only be assumed the colonials one is far superior to ours, and that they needed baltar to gain quick access before thier hack was detected.
I just posted my take on this video, my own Pegasus based video. Youtube auto blocked it based on video content. I pulled it but if you contact me I will let you see it private. Did you have similiar issues?
I hated how they had to blow up the Pegasus, I would rather see the Galactica go on a suicide run and they use the Pegasus for the fleet guardian. And if the Galactica could take that pounding from the colony and manage to jump away then i'm sure the Pegasus could too after covering the Galactica's retreat.
@SirFact It was always their intention to kill the Pegasus. Atleast Pegasus lasted a good 10 episodes, as in the origional series i believe it was only featured for 3 episodes. If the Galactica was destroyed instead of the Pegasus then the whole name of the series is wrong and it just wouldn't be the same.
@SirFact True, and it was called the Beast with good reason, but it impossible to have it called Battlestar Galactica as a series if the Galactica was gone. We will always be faced with the What if scenarios now due to Pegasus' early destruction.
To be Fair, the Pegasus had a much more impressive End than in the Original. Im actually that old to even remember the old Series, in which the Pegasus, even though looking exactly like the Galactica seemed much more powerful in any event. They at least gave her a better look here AND a Ending deserving of such a fine and powerful Warship. Though makes one wonder why they didnt include the Possibility of more Battlestars surviving the initial Attack.
@HollowPlaces I've seen the old ending and i don't believe you actually get to see the Pegasus being destroyed, rather the last shot of it is it facing of against two basestars, which leaves the possibilty (and the writers aparently wanted this) of it coming back in a later series. The end of Pegasus in TNS was the best way for it to go but also quelled any thoughts of a return.
Other battlestars may have just been too many to include (and costly for the design) so affecting the storyline.
@TRUExSIGHTS I think that actuall reason they didnt put any other battlestars is that something like that would ease the tragedy of the situation humanity got into. The survival had to look marginal or even impossible
@NeutralNegotiator yeah that is true aswell, but i believe the design costs and the cost of creating extra battlestars for the series would have had more of an effect. Throughout Razor and the miniseries you see destroyed battlestars around but they are merely different sized Galactica's or Valkaryie's so they had to cut costs by re-using models. They may have come to the conclusion less battlestars was better for the story after reviewing the budget or something.
@TRUExSIGHTS Well in any case, if you take a look at images of the US aircraft carriers in use now you will not see big diferrences, even though some of them are 20-30 years older than the new ones. And galactica resembled an aircraft carrier in many ways(I should say better that it seems like a battleship with aircraft carrying modules)
@NeutralNegotiator the galactica was only good for vipers once they were gone everyone talked about how defenceless they were even tho had like a hundred guns
@lightyearmodels Im not after a number of hits, and only using scenes from one episode gets boring to watch. if i did that, why not just watch the dvd itself and in better quality?
I try to get a mix of themes/action in all of my videos (this is developing more as i make the later ones) rather than just one episode or battle overall. The real fun in video making it putting clips together which seem to be from the same battle yet are from episodes at opposite ends of the series.
@battlestargroup21 That may because it's actually a cheat :P I'm assuming you are reffering to when the Viper mk vii is actually in the launch tube and being propelled outside. That is from the Episode "Scar" and is in fact the galactica's launch tube, not the pegasus. The shot of the Vipers leaving the Pegasus' launch tube is from the Episode "Resurrection ship part 1" near the end with the Adama/Cain stand off. There's also some viper launches from Razor for the Pegasus aswell.
another one of these shows that had low expectations for but it turned out to be a gr8 show - online for those outside the usa at caprica streaming online ^dot ^com
@TRUExSIGHTS I am trying my hand at building a video. I am wondering where the viper launch video came from. Mark VII apparently being launched from Pegasus. Episode and approximate time stamp please.
I think the idea behind using the Galactica for the attack was specifically because of this. The Pegasus was supposed to stay and become the fleets new guardian while the less powerful Galactica would be risked in the suicide attack. It's only because Lee Adama disobeyed orders to help his father that the Pegasus was even there at all.
Her computer network was down so the cylon virus didn't affect her, but even so, yeah it is amazing, because of the number of raiders and nukes they fired. One hell of a ship though, and she went out with one hell of a fight.
I'm surprised that Galactica, having been in more battles, and being worn down by a first war, didn't get destroyed, yet Pegasus, was better, stronger, and new.
But, if the galactica was destroyed, then it's not exactly BSG anymore is it? Besides, we always knew the Pegasuss would not always be in the show, as the writers said they were following the origional series idea of it, appearing for a while then being lost again. Overall the peg probably should have survived, but to keep the story going they had to lose it. Just one of those things, and it wouldn't have been the same with the peg, due to it's more powerful/less desperate fights.
Peagaus lives in a way. At the battlestar mercury secondlife simulator. 4 working landing decks, vipers raiders. Stop watching, start being in the action yourself.
i know a better game for living it. Fleet Commander 2 : Crysis. It is done by the same team who made BSG:FC (Fleet commander), a bsg mod for homeworld 2, but they have now been working on the crysis engine which offers unlimited ideas to play with, and no other game can really match that. So Mercury secondlife simulator won't be as much fun =/ Sorry D=
The bsg crysis is the best mod out there atm. It combines flight simulator combat, with first person shooting, and allows you to go inside the galactica and fight it out (when its released that is)
The Pegasus End Run was insane, and is still one of the most bad ass and saddest scenes i have ever seen in television, or film for that matter, it was up there with ST III when Kirk blew up the enterprise, the author of this vid gets 5 stars from me
Can people please input about the higher quality version, as i seem to be having problems with it being laggy/pixelated/slower and i wanted to know if that was just my machine, but i seem to run other high quality videos fine.
I really liked this. Forgot how great the Gladiator music was. It's also really good for only a 4th video. Took me more than that many to make a decent video. =)
P.S. Can you see some of my videos? You might want to use some of the music. =D
The scene where the basestars are bombarding the battlestar galactica and camera start to go away is the most dramatic scene I ever experienced with a TV series. Seriously, for a second there I thought they would destroy the Galactica.

No other moment in the series was so perfectly stored in my memory.

@padamibr Yeah i agree with you there mate, definitely one of the best scenes i remember. It was perfectly timed and the music just added to it. The speech wasn't overly cheesy either, just before the panning out, not like most where its "LETS DO THIS, WE BEAT THEM STILL" but a acceptance of victory but at a cost, their own lives. Then the Pegasus arriving was the best timed and one of my favourite scenes out of the whole series.

420Rokn 2 months ago
@420Rokn It's to do with the show itself. It's called BattleStar Galactica, there's no mention of Pegasus itself in there. Yes 2 battlestars are better than one, but takes away the idea of a struggle for survival, one battlestar against a fleet. One vs all sounds a lot better than 2 vs all, no matter how little a difference it makes. Also, the Pegasus had too scarred a history to be there at the end, when humanity starts again as it had a terrible past under Cain.

Never saw much of the Remake. The original kept the true fate of Pegasus unknown after she was seen taking on two Basestars.
Scioneer 2 months ago
@Scioneer That's because they were likely going to re-introduce her in the later series, which were never produced. It would give a large array of plots to pan out a few more seasons with, so they introduced a bit more storyline. To be honest, i think this was the better way to get rid of the Pegasus, where we alll knew she went down fighting, and saw how, instead of "she probably did"

The camera shake and movements are just too much to take in on the DVDs, orientation is lost easily. On this vid the scenes actually make more sense about what the authors wanted to portray.

@RevelAlliance Well I've had similar debates before. The reason they didn't (and shouldn't have) is because they argued they deserved to survive and fought to because of their humanity and compassion, which the machines didn't have. If they committed genocide aswell, like the cylons, then ultimately they are no better, and just prove 6's criticism that the Cylons were simply children, who had learnt their habits from their parents (the humans who created them).

@TRUExSIGHTS morally absolutely, just as a tactical decision in a state of war where the survival of your species is at stake and the alliance with enemy remnants was not on the cards it was an awful choice. but yes its was a good plot in the whole 'what gives us the right to survive as a species' theme, just got under my skin especially as it was the cylon lover. war doesn't deiced who's right just who's left, but who's left writes history and history decides who's right haha. nice one

@longbeard1407 If you hate it that much, why bother coming to watch a tribute to the new series? You can tell by the first 20 seconds what series it's made from. And if you read the video information you would be able to tell from the episode names. They were going to attempt to remake the old series with the old series style effects, and I've seen the trailer for it and it looked... well half baked. The complete remake in my opinion was a good thing and I've seen both types of series.

Ahrisss 5 months ago
@Ahrisss Lee wasn't a war criminal. He was a commanding officer of the Pegasus. Garner was just an engineer, he had very little decisions in anything, much like Chief Tyrol would not be deciding tactics or objectives for the Galactica. That's a incredibly broad statement which is unjust. True, some of the commanders overstepped what was right and did commit attrocities, but then who forced them into that? The cylons by wiping out their planets. It was one battlestar alone against a civilisation.
TRUExSIGHTS 5 months ago
@Ahrisss The term war criminal ceased being relevent when the Cylons purged the colonial homeworlds with nuclear weapons, it becomes survival by any means because survival is ultimately all that matters. Anyway had Pegasus not done what they did they most likely would never have met Galactica and the human race might well have been doomed. All events can lead to an overall positive outcome regardless of morality.
KrazyKommieKiller 3 months ago
@KrazyKommieKiller Survival alone is not enough. You must be able to live with yourself. Adama explicitly says that early in the series. The term war criminal is always relevant. If they did not stick to their values then ultimately what are they fighting for? They said they were fighting for the colonies but they had essentially turned their back on the ideals of the colonies. Yes it ultimately worked out well, but that does not make it right.

@MrIlovegamez Yes and no. She was only protecting her crew at the expense of many civilians lives'. That is not her protecting her people at all, as the civilians were the priority there aswell for survival of the race.

The priority should have been survival of as many humans as possible for Cain.

One thing´s for sure after what I´ve been reading about them Base stars have no chance in hell against a battlestar especially "up close"!
TheShadowwolf88 8 months ago
@TheShadowwolf88 No They don't. They are lightly armoured and designed for fast (hit and run mostly) mass attacks. Also they were nearly totally reliant upon the element of suprise and the virus working against the colonies. Battlestars on the other hand are heavily armoured and most accurate up close (as the cylon missiles have much more advanced guidance systems). However, if you look at the older basestars (in razor flashbacks) they were battlestar killers to an extent.

The end of the Pegasus was a salute to TOS, where the '70s Peggy took on two base ships as Baltar fled in the third. Adama told him to lead them away instead, but Cain refused. That is why Lee didn't jump his ship at the last instant in this series. It would be three less base stars to prowl around in search of the fleet. Series total base star kills between the two battlestars was six, I think, counting the one Boomer blew up, not counting the one destroyed by the rebel base star.

iammjolnir 8 months ago in playlist Music videos part 2
@iammjolnir Well one died through leading by example (garner in his own way) which is how COs should act. Cain admittedly had it coming, but she also led by example and was a strong CO. Fisk was the only bad CO in my opinion. Yeah in the military you tend to go through officers like the plague especially in past wars such as WW2 and WW1 where officers were expected to lead by example and so often were killed early on. They have the highest casualty rates on the whole usually. Thanks for watching

@TRUExSIGHTS Still, 3 COs in a short period of time like that, seriously says something about their luck.
iammjolnir 8 months ago in playlist Music videos part 2
@iammjolnir True, but then a spaceship is a dangerous place. Look at the casualties among the other ranks that occured more often. Pilots probably had the second highest death ratio out of the whole ship. But i guess 75% mortality rate for one rank is high. However as i said, officers tend to have higher casualty rates as for one they are in lower numbers, but also because they are expected to lead where they ask others to go, and so pretty often die first.
TRUExSIGHTS 8 months ago
its thanks to Baltar in a sense the Peggy got pwned. He gave Gina the nuke which she detonated on Cloud 9 alerting the cylons and one year later in a rescue attempt Peggy got pwned saving Galactica's butt so it all leads to BALTAR!!! Cain was just (like Wikifrakr says) Admiral Pscyho Lesbian, Fisk i dunno, Garner was a Hero and Lee was just a stupid fool.
ufsantaris555 8 months ago
@ufsantaris555 Garner was NOT a hero. He had good intentions but made stupid mistakes. He jumped the Pegasus into a trap and almost got it destroyed by 3 basestars, while defying an admiral's order not to. He risked his ship and his crew because he didn't realize the stupidity of his mistake.
Baltar had failings, like all of the characters. Yes he may have given her the nuke, but he did so out of a guilty conscience about the way she had been treated, so whos to blame more, him or Cain?

ufsantaris555 8 months ago
@ufsantaris555 Then really shouldn't you blame the creator of the cylons. Baltar didn't actually make them and the Cylons were the ones who destroyed the Pegasus and nearly all of humanity. You can't blame Baltar for a few mistakes, he is after all human like everyone else in the fleet, even Adama made mistakes (like trying to take down Roslin at the end of season 1). Even the Cylons themselves made mistakes, and they were supposed to be a better version of the humans.

In my Opinion I think Lee Adama knew that the Galactica would get its ass handed to itself and Lee knew how much galactica was important to Will so I bet he thought that was the only way to save galactica and her crew, But also Lee knew that he could plan the escape raptors to the fleet so it was probably the best plan that happened in that season.
3hitproductions 1 year ago
@3hitproductions Well.. yes and no to that. lee knew the Galactica would have a tough fight, but the Galactica could hold off 2 basestars on its own, which has been proved time and time again throughout the series, for example at Ragnar and during 33. However, lee probably realized that he needed to go back and help Adama, and he couldnt live with himself if the Galactica was destroyed and he hadn't returned to help. But yeah he also knew Gal was important to his father

@MANBEARPIG248 indeed, that is also the main point in why the Pegasus was destroyed. In the origional series the Pegasus was returned and was also destroyed a few episodes later (PRESUMED THOUGH, as it was last seen fighting against two basestars, which was almost impossible odds... though may have reappeared later on). While they Peggy was a beast of a ship, the Galactica had class and style that the Peggy cant match in a series :P

TRUExSIGHTS 1 year ago
@TRUExSIGHTS The Galactica was in no shape to fight even one basestar after the Adama maneuver. They were screwed and their FTL's were shot. It wasn't just about saving the ship, that was more than likely a suicide mission from it's inception, Lee was right about that. But Bill had to go down trying or he wouldn't be able to live with himself leaving all those people on New Caprica.
dealmaker007 1 year ago
@dealmaker007 Well, arguably that is true, as the Galactica was under half strength, so would have problems. However, they had scattered the cylon raiders so would only have to deal with capital ships, so could potentially hold off 2. What happened was though they were surrounded by 4 basestars and couldnt concentrate their fire in one direction (or even 2 if it came to it) as they were hit from all angles. But yeah they would've struggled even against two basestars.
TRUExSIGHTS 1 year ago
@TRUExSIGHTS If I remember correctly Adama's plan was to lead the 2 basestars away from the planet as a distraction so the fleet ships could get away, not necessarally to fight the 2 basestars toe to toe. They had all kinds of system failures after the freefall into atmostphere and jump back to orbit. The other 2 basestars that jumped in pretty much killed any of those plans. It was bone chilling when Adama asked Karl about the Jump Drives and he shook his head. Adama's face fell :(
dealmaker007 1 year ago
@dealmaker007 Well, lead away was definately part of the plan, but from what i remember basestars can move faster than battlestars, and are more manouvreable (due to their design i believe, there are some very good clips from season four showing that). So leading away would lead to a battle ultimately anyway. BSG wouldn't necessarily go toe to toe with them, may just do what happened at ragnar and sit in a defensive position to cover the civilians escape.

@Waratahoftroy If you look closely enough, the borg were NEVER about wiping out races. The whole idea was to assimilate and use their knowledge, instead of kill off. Genocide means to wipe out a race and kill every member, not assimilate it into your culture, albeit against their will. The whole idea of geonocide was against the borg idea of collective knowledge.
TRUExSIGHTS 1 year ago
@TRUExSIGHTS
Genocide has many forms, killing every member of a race is not the only way of genocidal behavior, forcing a race to assimilate into yours is also genocide.....
Waratahoftroy 1 year ago
@Waratahoftroy By the very definition of genocide (systematic killing of a racial or cultural group) it shows that the borg were not genocidal. Agreed they forced races to be assimilated, but did not kill those members (where possible) and so can not be called genocidal. While it is arguable that the culture may have died out due to the assimilation, it is not true genocide thus they are not a genocidal race, more of a cumpolsory join race.
TRUExSIGHTS 1 year ago
@TRUExSIGHTS That is arguable. Genocide means "systematic killing of racial or cultural group." By assimilating into drones, your basically destroying their personality, thoughts, and ways, which is kind of killing them in every way except physically.

@Nitroglycerine1000 That's the whole point though, they arn't killing them or their culture, but absorbing it. The culture still exists throughout the collective. If anything, their culture has expanded, though not in easily noticeable means, as the collective uses the knowledge which makes it more powerful. There is no actual killing involved, thus it cannot be Genocide. The only race that truly attempted Genocide was Species 8472. The Borg didn't attempt it on that scale or extent.

Wasn't part of the reason that Pegasus had to die to do with the way Cain ran the ship right after the attack? Galactica under Adama chose to assist civilians and escort them to safety, but Pegasus ripped parts out of any civilian ships she found and impressed useful civilians into her crew, leaving the rest of them to die.
Dying like this, taking out the Basestar blockade over New Caprica so that Galactica could rescue the civvies is a sort of redemption for her.
Apolloin 1 year ago
@Apolloin Yes that is likely part of the rerason for Pegasus being killed off, but also to keep it in line (partially anyway, there's all the origional hints in the new series) of the old show, where the Pegasus survived but was destroyed (well atleast hinted at - not confirmed) a few episodes later. It would seem highly plausable though that the death of the Pegasus was also a redemption for the things she had done in the past, although a Battlestar has no choice over its actions
TRUExSIGHTS 1 year ago
@TRUExSIGHTS Well, no, of course you're right about a battlestar having no choice over her actions. :)
All I meant was that something was decidedly 'sick' aboard The Beast, and frequent changes of command did nothing to resolve that sickness. If you look at the commanders of Pegasus, each of them was flawed in their own way, and Pegasus seemed to bring out those flaws:
Caine - Brutality and Madness.
The Engineer (whose name I've forgotten) - Lack of empathy
Fisk - Corruption
Lee - Apathy

once again we see that if frakin baltar hadn't so stupid to hand over a nuke to the six, the cloud nine wouldn't have been destroyed, therefore no radiation, the cylons would have never found new caprica and some years or decades later, when maybe new battlestars would have been built, the humans could have taken back the 12 colonies by force. so actually if baltar would have not fraked up so often there would have been no reason for the series anyway^

@xhandbasketx Look at Scattered (episode 1 of season 2) where Gaeta rigged up a simple firewall (only simple in his quick version) to keep the cylons out. This would have been replicated on a huge scale across the colonial fleet much as the modern defence network today has many security protocals you must over come to gain access to it. It can only be assumed the colonials one is far superior to ours, and that they needed baltar to gain quick access before thier hack was detected.

@SirFact It was always their intention to kill the Pegasus. Atleast Pegasus lasted a good 10 episodes, as in the origional series i believe it was only featured for 3 episodes.

@TRUExSIGHTS
To be Fair, the Pegasus had a much more impressive End than in the Original. Im actually that old to even remember the old Series, in which the Pegasus, even though looking exactly like the Galactica seemed much more powerful in any event. They at least gave her a better look here AND a Ending deserving of such a fine and powerful Warship. Though makes one wonder why they didnt include the Possibility of more Battlestars surviving the initial Attack.
HollowPlaces 1 year ago
@HollowPlaces I've seen the old ending and i don't believe you actually get to see the Pegasus being destroyed, rather the last shot of it is it facing of against two basestars, which leaves the possibilty (and the writers aparently wanted this) of it coming back in a later series. The end of Pegasus in TNS was the best way for it to go but also quelled any thoughts of a return.
Other battlestars may have just been too many to include (and costly for the design) so affecting the storyline.
TRUExSIGHTS 1 year ago
@TRUExSIGHTS I think that actuall reason they didnt put any other battlestars is that something like that would ease the tragedy of the situation humanity got into. The survival had to look marginal or even impossible
NeutralNegotiator 1 year ago
@NeutralNegotiator yeah that is true aswell, but i believe the design costs and the cost of creating extra battlestars for the series would have had more of an effect. Throughout Razor and the miniseries you see destroyed battlestars around but they are merely different sized Galactica's or Valkaryie's so they had to cut costs by re-using models. They may have come to the conclusion less battlestars was better for the story after reviewing the budget or something.

@TRUExSIGHTS Well in any case, if you take a look at images of the US aircraft carriers in use now you will not see big diferrences, even though some of them are 20-30 years older than the new ones. And galactica resembled an aircraft carrier in many ways(I should say better that it seems like a battleship with aircraft carrying modules)

@NeutralNegotiator the galactica was only good for vipers once they were gone everyone talked about how defenceless they were even tho had like a hundred guns

What can't you just post the clip of the battle from Exodus. You know how many hits you would have.
lightyearmodels 1 year ago
@lightyearmodels Im not after a number of hits, and only using scenes from one episode gets boring to watch. if i did that, why not just watch the dvd itself and in better quality?
I try to get a mix of themes/action in all of my videos (this is developing more as i make the later ones) rather than just one episode or battle overall. The real fun in video making it putting clips together which seem to be from the same battle yet are from episodes at opposite ends of the series.

I am attempting to make my own video. I can't find that really cool scene of a mark vii viper launching from Peagsus, inside the launch tube.
battlestargroup21 1 year ago
@battlestargroup21 That may because it's actually a cheat :P I'm assuming you are reffering to when the Viper mk vii is actually in the launch tube and being propelled outside. That is from the Episode "Scar" and is in fact the galactica's launch tube, not the pegasus. The shot of the Vipers leaving the Pegasus' launch tube is from the Episode "Resurrection ship part 1" near the end with the Adama/Cain stand off. There's also some viper launches from Razor for the Pegasus aswell.

if you dont want a video with music, there are a few around, but not many. Best option is to watch the dvds

@TRUExSIGHTS I am trying my hand at building a video. I am wondering where the viper launch video came from. Mark VII apparently being launched from Pegasus. Episode and approximate time stamp please.

What a waste of ship, they use sacrifice Galactica instead. Pegasus is more powerful.
lowerlowerhk 2 years ago
I think the idea behind using the Galactica for the attack was specifically because of this. The Pegasus was supposed to stay and become the fleets new guardian while the less powerful Galactica would be risked in the suicide attack. It's only because Lee Adama disobeyed orders to help his father that the Pegasus was even there at all.

That's what i've missed, thanks. Also, due to historical background of Pegasus, it is better to have it ended this way.

it's amazing that the pegasus survived the fall of the shipyard. so many warships were caught out there, yet only peggy escaped...

Her computer network was down so the cylon virus didn't affect her, but even so, yeah it is amazing, because of the number of raiders and nukes they fired. One hell of a ship though, and she went out with one hell of a fight.
Thanks for watching and commenting =D

because her notwork was down but the fact that she survived two nukes was awesome

I'm surprised that Galactica, having been in more battles, and being worn down by a first war, didn't get destroyed, yet Pegasus, was better, stronger, and new.
Wastedgrunt 2 years ago
But, if the galactica was destroyed, then it's not exactly BSG anymore is it? Besides, we always knew the Pegasuss would not always be in the show, as the writers said they were following the origional series idea of it, appearing for a while then being lost again. Overall the peg probably should have survived, but to keep the story going they had to lose it. Just one of those things, and it wouldn't have been the same with the peg, due to it's more powerful/less desperate fights.

Peagaus lives in a way. At the battlestar mercury secondlife simulator. 4 working landing decks, vipers raiders. Stop watching, start being in the action yourself.
battlestargroup21 3 years ago
i know a better game for living it. Fleet Commander 2 : Crysis. It is done by the same team who made BSG:FC (Fleet commander), a bsg mod for homeworld 2, but they have now been working on the crysis engine which offers unlimited ideas to play with, and no other game can really match that. So Mercury secondlife simulator won't be as much fun =/ Sorry D=

Try BSG:BtRL, its a Freespace mod.
scumhunter1966 2 years ago
The bsg crysis is the best mod out there atm. It combines flight simulator combat, with first person shooting, and allows you to go inside the galactica and fight it out (when its released that is)

The Pegasus End Run was insane, and is still one of the most bad ass and saddest scenes i have ever seen in television, or film for that matter, it was up there with ST III when Kirk blew up the enterprise, the author of this vid gets 5 stars from me

Can people please input about the higher quality version, as i seem to be having problems with it being laggy/pixelated/slower and i wanted to know if that was just my machine, but i seem to run other high quality videos fine.

I really liked this. Forgot how great the Gladiator music was. It's also really good for only a 4th video. Took me more than that many to make a decent video. =)
P.S. Can you see some of my videos? You might want to use some of the music. =D
