19-Deathbed And Maelstrom

[berker1711]

after 3:05 is sooo good that IT KILLS ME! i just can't get it enough. out of this world-- out of everything we know!

[SmithK2P]

You know yours a BSG fan when you mean to say "fuck you" to someone but say frak instead... I just kinda made a face and went on my way :\

[Yamauta]

@SmithK2P I catch myself saying that all the time.

[starflame34]

@SmithK2P ikr? I now say "frak" (or at least i try too) instead of "fuck"

[TheSlytherinprefect]

Love that hint of Kobol's Last Gleaming in there.

[holodock]

I frakkin' miss the show :'(

[SWOLFOOI]

Yes there was DEFINITLY a heavy raider in the scene, furthermore if you watch the scene carefully there is a shot of Starbuck veiwed towarded the cockpit- look just above and to the left(port side ) of her head- there is a cannon hole there that JUST missed blowing her out of space. OMG I'm such a nerd/geek-monster for remembering that. Enjoy the tune though: Bear McCreary ROCKS

[89BlackGatomon]

haha... If you dont know BSG you have to watch it... The Soundtracks alone are beautyfull maybe awesome but with the history its just epic BELIVE IT =D

[DarthShinzon]

...das zu entdecken, was zwischen Leben und Tod in der Schwebe hängt!

[deathrider217]

ok i have to agree because who the heck is john williams and this is all on par with mozart and beethoven

[RC1312Kad]

@deathrider217 John Williams composed Star Wars, Jaws, and numerous other things.

[artemaus10]

Bear McCreary deserves so much recognition the things that he has composed honestly people aren't gonna like this but he is better than John Williams, Mozart, and Beethoven

[novajhv]

@artemaus10 well i agree so that's 2 ppl

[TheCoolisimo]

@artemaus10 mozart and beethoven are only famous because they were geniuses for their time. im pretty sure mcreary is the mazart/beethoven for our time

[antred11]

That part at 3:57 where the music picks up a bit is where Kara's Viper breaks apart and Lee screams "Nooo, noooh!" ... now if that doesn't shake you up you are made of stone. Such an emotional scene, the song is a perfect fit.

[holodock]

@antred11 On a HD / Blue Ray version of the scene you can hear a very distinct Cylon "by your command" hidden as an Easter egg :) Its pretty hard to hear even with HD / Blue Ray quality but with headphones you can hear a "by your..." just after the girl is shown and a very faint "command " a couple of moments after vastly covered by the explosion :)

[mit181]

The camera was looking on events through Kara's eyes in its positioning. It is therefore unreliable. The dream / rite of passage sequence no doubt is incredibly complicated and I think the point is its very surreal.

None of it makes sense from a very human, rational perspective: the event is closer to some sort of metaphysics / religious experience.

Whether or not Kara was dying or was hit by the bullet is not really, considering what that event leads onto, particularly significant.

[artemaus10]

Starbuck was so kickass and she was an ass to everyone but hey its what made her awesome!

[ftlgo238]

Huh... now that I watched Maelstrom again, I noticed that when Kara's Viper was attacked by that phantom Raider, one of the bullets went through the window, and I think it hit Kara. Was she already dying when she had that dream?

[ajb7876]

Yeah,I wondered about that too.

[starbrighter]

Me Too!!!

The writers failed us there...

[dilandach]

And if you look close you get a glimpse of a 3rd ship from the POV of lee and not Kara. Just a pity they went with the "god did it" angle.

[holodock]

@ftlgo238 Well if the projectile missed her and hit the back of her cockpit I assume its safe to say that she was not yet dead. However whats the point? She would never life to see the next day either way.

[willthack13]

@ftlgo238 I thought it was basically established that there was no raider?

[refugeewc]

@willthack13 There was a raider, and Apollo calls out "visual" twice upon seeing it. omg i'm such a nerd. Search for the video "BSG Maelstrom - Apollo Finds Starbuck In The Storm".

[Hidarite100]

@refugeewc Apollo said visual because he saw Starbuck, not the heavy raider, however there was one in the scene.

[wellgeewhizz]

@willthack13 There is DEFINITELY a Heavy Raider in this scene. You can see it in the top left of one of the final scenes of the flying, at the same time as Lee and Kara's Vipers. I watched the whole series on Instant Netflix so I was able to go back and pause to see if I saw what I thought I saw..

[macross25]

Bear McCreary is by far one of the best talented composers of our day. I love this type of music and it has been years if not longer since I have heard anything this moving, amazing & Chilling.

[gandalfgreenhands]

What you said is better than a comment from me. We live in great times to hear this fine music. Thanks to all of you involved in making this. I owe you one. When it counts.

[PathogensQuest]

I cannot wait for the 4th season soundtrack to come out.

[proadmin1]

I think it's fair to say this composer is destined to be a credit to our species.

[ftlgo238]

So say we all.

[dbhCheez]

So say we all!

[TheRonin5]

@proadmin1 I think its fair to say that this composer is a cylon.

[proadmin1]

@TheRonin5 I thought we were a hybrid species now. Not much on racism so I'll say it's simply beautiful.

[A7XRules4life]

@proadmin1 Destined to be? You're saying he already isn't?

[proadmin1]

@A7XRules4life I'm saying that 200 years - or maybe even 1000 years from now - long after we've forgotten the inner intrigues - that even now fade from our collective Battlestar Galactica memory, it would be nice to think that people will be queuing up this song or others of his as we go about our business.

[BadlanAlun]

Anyone know if there's any season one ost on youtube?

[oscar1123581321]

yeah .. search fora vid called "Wander my freinds" and look for a BSG link

[NorthWlf]

I wish someone could put up the scene with Starbuck and her Mother. That was a powerful one.

[dbassplayer]

Great Song... just gives you a great vibe about the future.

[pintzy]

i was so sad when i first saw this episode, thank christ they brought starbuck back:)

[Silverlife19]

Agreed I screamed for joy when Starbuck returned. She was my all time favorite character on the series.

[pintzy]

She's sum bird too;)lulz!!!

[HaloMonkeys]

while i like having such a strong female character in a tv show i have the feeling that i ever met starbuck she would beat the living crap out of me

[1nonlyqaise1]

agreed... she would.

[HisDivineShadow245]

I remember Katee Sackhoff once saying that she used to play really girly chicks before BSG and now after this show, people avoid her out of fear at the gym. :D

[diablopat]

Hehe, no wonder :P

[symbiote112]

Lol.

[RoyspencerTest]

wow dude go get a fucking life

[evilbloodyclowns]

lol

[cas343]

Rofl.

[NorthWlf]

It is a modification of the season one song Forgiven. And wow is it ever.

[mikz130]

this song makes u feel so sad but it is still a good song

[Jcorp67]

This song is full of saddness but there is also a bit of hope and redemption. That's what Starbuck's charcter is about.

[jpfdon]

maybe she s sad too yea.. but she s also lik e a wild animal... an interesting character but... dunno dont like women like her xD

[willthack13]

@jpfdon Saul Tigh. Now he was one of the best characters ever created. Such a complex character with amazing pride and horrific shame. It's ironic that he was a cylon in the end, yet no one exemplified the insane extremes of human nature quite like him.
