[trigger88ification]

2:52 The drums so powerful!!! Get some!!!

[hitman2actual]

Prelude to War" isn't a good name for this music "Adama is Pissed" would be better

[TonyEvans96]

@hitman2actual What would better is if you didn't make stupid comments to get likes... seriously. The name is fine, nobody else is complaining.

[STRELOKx22x]

@TonyEvans96 Are you a troll or a dumbass.

[TonyEvans96]

@STRELOKx22x I'm someone who doesn't give a shit, a fuck, or a fucking shit. soo... bah-bye

[TheBlueBattlestar]

[ReferenceObscure]

5:26-5:38 My favorite part

[TonyEvans96]

@ReferenceObscure My favorite part spans from 0:01 to 99:99

[TheSc2addict]

This is One OF THE MOST EPIC THEMES I HAVE EVER HEARED.

[ElJorro]

Call it whatever you want

[NobleSixOne]

@TheSeth256 and @SparklingControversy

AND HERE WE FRAKKIN GO.

i can't even listen to music without someone making this horrible Skyrim reference.

/nerd rage 

[TonyEvans96]

@NobleSixOne kinda funny considering his Skyrim reference sucks...

I used to The Colony? like wtf?

"I used to be a Bad-Ass Cylon Homeworld until I took a Colonial Battlestar commanded by Admiral Adama to the side. The fight ensued in which my defensive batteries pummeled the Galactica, whilst my Raiders engaged their Vipers and my Cylons on the ground fought off the attacking Humans and their new Rebel Cylon allies.

now THAT is a fraking Skyrim reference.

yea, minor sarcasm used.

[TheSeth256]

I used to watch Stargate SG-1,but then I took a Battlestar Galactica in the knee.



[SparklingControversy]

@TheSeth256 I used to The Colony like you, but then I took a battlestar to the side.

[OlympicPlatinum]

Adama: When I gives you da word... U gonna draw ur sidearm and cap dat bitch in da head.

Starbuck: Excuse me sir?

Adama: CAP. DAT. BITCH... IN. DA. HEAD...

Starbuck: That's coldblooded, sir. Straightup gangsta.

Adama: I AM FUCKIN GANGSTA.

[whitemanstand72]

@OlympicPlatinum LOVE IT LOL

[13legion1]

Adama VS MOTHER FRAKER Cain!

[WatchmenDrManhattan]

BSG best TV show ever ..  So say we all

[raoulhery]

I am getting my man!!!

[Dominator501st]

Tip of the day, "You can watch Battlestar Galactica on Hulu free so go and do it now NUGGETS!"

[AnnoyingBird100]

The only reason I'm here is because I heard it on a Star Fox 64 walkthrough part made by concordat, he put this track on the Sector Y mission, it worked pretty well. I heard it and I thought it was pretty awesome, so here I am.

[TonyEvans96]

wow, all these people giving out repeated, epic, but repeated series quotes and hoping for hordes of thumbs up.

Seriously, we all know these quotes. We love these quotes. Some may have rewatched the series or episode and know them by heart... but cmon, we really don't need them repeated on every single video.

"Boom"

[ukairsofter]

@TonyEvans96 So say we all!

[whitemanstand72]

@TonyEvans96 I gonna reapeat yours on EVERY vid, even on ladyGagas vid.

[D4rkJedi66]

Adama: Please arrange for Chief Tyrol, and Lt. Agathon to be handed over to my marines, as soon as they arrive

Cain: I don't take orders from you

Adama: Call it whatever you like.. I'm getting my men

Cain: You are making SUCH a mistake..

Adama: I'm GETTING...my men *slams phone*

[OldSchoolPatriot2012]

@D4rkJedi66 "Actions Stations, launch alert vipers."

"Admiral, this will get out of control fast."

"Adama's crossed the lines, left us no choice. Launch. Alert Vipers! And target main batteries for the Galactica. May the Gods have mercy on their souls."

[whitemanstand72]

@D4rkJedi66 ...and there you have it male machoism in a famale dominated world. Thats how its done. Salute you sir ! Ronald D. Moore thank you.

[BaneOfLannister]

@whitemanstand72 What the fuck are you babbling about you god damn nutbag?

[BaneOfLannister]

@D4rkJedi66 Cain: Launch the alert Vipers.

[UncleBuck1967111]

Galactica request weapons free, These frakers are all over us.

[astrobcooper]

Best music to get psyched up for an important exam.

[ALFAZIX333]

oh i wish the presidente were adama and not obama....

[counterstriker500]

Is is a moonscape? No! Is it an artillery range? No! It's Bill Adama's face! Oh shit, the frakker's headed right for us! *Adama uses Adama Glare and single-handedly wins back the Twelve Colonies*

[KILLBILL1091]

ACTION STATIONS!

[elecheadmatt]

man. 6:30. that has SUCH an awesome "marooned in space" feeling

[Morethanbobsonofbob]

Awesome......even 3 years on from the first time I heard it.

[0501856849]

"I'm getting my men!"

[sturenorth]

Goosebumps when the faste paced Violins enter <3

[johetus]

Haah I like this so much!

[rhannan011]

Check out bear's channel for for a frakkin' good rendition of this piece played by Bear himself on an -and I kid you not- ACCORDION.

I can no longer, in good conscience, think of them as the red-headed stepchildren of the instrument family.

[Stealtht6]

@rhannan011 So say we all. Bear on the Accordion is next to godliness.

[Krobar]

I can't listen to this loud enough. So much emotion in it.

[pakachakawaka]

22 people are frakking skin jobs and toasters combined

[13legion1]

22 people disliking FRAK in anus basestar and resurrection ship !!!

[Bionicraft1]

@13legion1 What the frak are you talking about? Was that a rape joke? If it was then frak you.

[Sesarrbg]

I'M GETTING MY MEN !!!

[KAiserSchlacht]

@Sesarrbg I`m ALL the men you need, baby!

[BMWM3GTRLOVER]

Badass music. But I have never seen an ep of BSG. so why did i watch this? coz the music comes from a mod for a game and it really makes the mood feel right. having a battle with this music in the background gets the blood pumping. Now wheres the nearest HMV store? I have a BSG boxset to buy

[starflame34]

@BMWM3GTRLOVER What mod for what game are you talking about? You got me curious.

[BMWM3GTRLOVER]

@starflame34 Babylon 5 at War for Star Wars Forces of Corruption.

[kuribayashi84]

"I dont take orders from you!"

"Call it whatever you like. I'm getting my men."

"You are making SUCH a mistake!"

"I. Am. Getting. My. Men!"

Epic

[MrIlovegamez]

there was a song when helo showed kara a painting of the eye of jupiter anyone happen to know what its called? its from season 3 the rapture episode

[SternMann93]

"I wan't a marine strike team in a raptor, in five minutes. prepare to launch the alert vipers."

*turns to Cally*

"We have work to do."

*does an epic walk in the corridor while camera is doing a closeup on his determined face*

[TCoops]

6:30 onwards. LOVE this part

[TheGrayRevolution]

Epic High School Story.

[warzer0]

"I want a marine strike team in a raptor in five minutes. Prepare to launch alert fighters... We have work to do."

[Jadyn462]

This song is going to play during my first round of space combat in Star Wars: The Old Republic.

[pHaZe017]

if i was going to war, this would be my hype music..

[Mainscope]

This is why I love bsg

[RockStarAussie]

@Mainscope This is why i love BSGO

[TheGalacticEmperor]

0:57 Engaging an enemy in BSG Online.

[vertoalias]

how dare i get an error half way through this song, this is bs youtube just ruin my awesome bsg playlist -.-

[headphonic8]

Why are their faces photoshopped to shit on the album cover??

[szpinak222]

Where from originally is the part at 3:43 - 3:55 ?

[Gamer2k4]

The orchestral version is nice, but the piano solo just sounds so much cleaner. Of course, I might just feel that way because I heard the piano version first.

[kathicII]

Its not enough to survive. One must be worthy of survival.

[Twilekki]

BSG is das beste ever!!! Und dieser sound is auch das beste ever!

[yougotyourcherrybomb]

2:53 yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!

[Thetoofy]

This track should be called "Shit, meet fan"

[Yamauta]

@Thetoofy agreed.



[grodelreal]

While I hated Cain, I loved her at the same time. I like strong, authoritative women. Adama's great too.

[Yamauta]

@grodelreal I just couldn't get over the fact that she was played by the same actress who's character in ST:TNG damn near made me want to stop watching it.

[ownagedx]

down vote all the thumbs up whore

[AndyHocvs]

I think many will agree that this is the definitive BSG track. It perfectly captures the drama, action, intensity, and militarism of the show, but still retains feelings of sadness, desperation, anxiety, and fear. It's not as action packed as Storming New Caprica or All Along the Watchtower, and not as feeling as Refugees, striking a middle ground. This song just personifies that desperation and will to fight on possessed by EVERY BSG character, human, cylon, or battlestar.

[mattconner11]

@AndyHocvs i agee. definitive.

[raoulhery]

@AndyHocvs wander my friend is great as well

[AndyHocvs]

@raoulhery

Totally agreed, amazing. But I feel as though that track is all about unfettered happiness and victory, which if you've seen the show (and I'm assuming you have) doesn't characterize the journey of Galactica very well. Yes there happy sometimes but most of the time any happiness is tempered by the dreadful circumstances of one or more of the characters (like when they found "earth").

[TonyEvans96]

@AndyHocvs It's sad "D" died... I really liked her. Attractive, independant, strong, and amazing. She was cheated out of a world she didn't stay long enough to find.

[SparklingControversy]

@TonyEvans96 You're so right. She was a good character. But at least she died relatively happy :)

[TonyEvans96]

@SparklingControversy maybe, but she died with all her hopes crushed, her dreams shattered...

So many of the main characters died, but I always always always thought she'd be there till the end.

[SparklingControversy]

@TonyEvans96 She needed a little listen of this song.

[MultiOtherMe]

@AndyHocvs you really know how to say with words what a lortof us think but aren't able to express. Congratulations.

[1066Sherman]

That was the absolute best way they could have ended ssn 2 ep 10: Pegasus. (yes, I did memorize the episode number and title)

[CynicalVision]

Action stations.

[lionheart682]

I actually thought Cain was pretty badass...slightly insane, but still a badass.

[KILLBILL1091]

Adama: "I want a marine strike team in a raptor in 5 minutes; prepare to launch alert fighters. We have work to do!"

Cally: "Aye sir!"

[KILLBILL1091]

0:55 that was the moment you realized "shits about to get real"

[Kalnaf]

This piece made me cum dry

[IntronDepot1]

This crappy show had a WAY better soundtrack than it ever deserved.

[spadddle111]

@IntronDepot1 how was it bad?

[Waltaro91]

@IntronDepot1 You sir have no brains. The show is really good.

[JamesonBondy]

@IntronDepot1 lol omg moron.

[KAiserSchlacht]

@IntronDepot1 Nobody likes you. Go ask your mom if you don`t believe me.

[Canxiang]

TLO brought me here

@UserWithoutAnyName

Airlock is waiting. Have nice day, and horrible download... Frak... I forgot that we destroyed resurection hub. Ups... ;)

[bigdeepuff]

no one home from taryn

[OzzyProductionsLtd]

@nastygothic666 what the hell are you doing?!?!?! you forgot "SO SAY WE ALL! x 3

[nastygothic666]

@OzzyProductionsLtd

Meh, that phrase is used by everyone too much lol

[nastygothic666]

Notable Adama Catch Phrases: "All batteries execute." "Jump." "Do it, or get the hell off my ship." "I don't negotiate with terrorists." "Execute emergency jump." "Sometimes you just gotta roll the hard six." "What the hell are you doing?" "Launch Vipers." "You disobeyed a direct order..." "Give me one good reason why..." "Escort them/him/her to the brig." "I'm getting my men."

[Parrotguy1999]

Wow, I put this on and I can't stop myself from playing it over and over, it's just that good!

[Willsr14]

To Galactica! The best God damn ship in the fleet.

So say we all

[D4rkJedi66]

@Willsr14

So Say We All!

[AndyHocvs]

Excuse me, Admiral, I'm afraid everyone takes orders from Adama. In fact, I saw Christ headed to CIC with a cup of coffee for the commander about 10 minutes ago.

[93n371cfr34k]

The whole Pegasus CIC should have saluted "Heil Cain" that would make things very very interesting

[93n371cfr34k]

@downbeat0 he's a real coward opportunist tho, much like Baltar

[ignorantpom]

@downbeat0

i liked the chief engineer fellow. they caved his skull in his first appearance after pegasus :[

[bustedsim]

I've always called this the "Adama is Pissed" Music

[Kodos13]

@bustedsim

cue the "Adama Glare"..

[adamaroslinfanatic]

@Kodos13 No one can survive Adama's Deathstare... no one. Not even Cain or her "Razors"...

[MareInTheMoon]

@adamaroslinfanatic >sauron

Your argument is invalid.

[starflame34]

@Unkown207 So say we all!

[dragaroo]

This track is ridiculously epic. Love it.

[Resondin]

this sountrack and a big op battel in bgso so epic, strikers flying around spraying rounds escorts flanking and liners realising a shitstorm on each other :-)

[JessFromMead]

Best episode ever! I passed out at the end of it from the sheer amount of epic that punched me in the face

[13legion1]

Bear McCreary is cylon))

[MrLyckity]

Battlestar Galactica online



[Centurio9]

those 21 people must be cylons



[UserWithoutAnyName]

@Centurio9 Either that, or Trekkies.

[flosar7]

einfach nur geil



[Pappy55]

Me and my mate were so tence on the edge of our seats on this sceene.. the whole episode was a rollercoaster!

[Ryagful]

oh yeah, DO NOT FRACK WITH ADAMA, BITCH!

[TheSlytherinprefect]

I can't believe that I have listened to this song for 2 and a half years and never known until now that it was Prelude to War!

[dumus841]

My most favorite song and show in the world....

[MidgeRidge]

@kokomotoysonline So say we all!!!

[AndyHocvs]

Starting at 0:55, the string intro. When Adama orders the marine boarding party and starts walking down the hall to CIC all badass, gave me chills and I literally yelled "Don't fuck with the Adama!" Never had a show been so engaging for me.

[osmosys808]

6:26 is my favorite part. I feel like I'm on the dark side of a distant asteroid. Then a twinkle of light appears in the corner of my eye. An alarm sounds in my spacesuit, and my sun visor flips down. The light intensifies rapidly as it appears over the horizon. The stars heat blasts the sand around me, creating a wonderful sparkling miasma.

[Hidarite100]

When I first saw the peisode where Pegasus appears, I already knew that the admiral was a madman, but when i saw the scene where the officers introduced themselves to eachothers, I felt it was wrong: Galactica crew told their names, Pegasus crew told their ranks.

[robertl30]

Best song on any of the BSG OSTs imo. Love it!

[Asiaxfani]

"I'm getting my men." *click*

I jumped up and down on my sofa and screamed "MUTINY! MUTINY!! MUTINYYYYYYY!!!" Should I just admit that I'm crazy? :D

[leg3nd348]

@Asiaxfani Nope. Felt the exact same way. Except i yelled "ABOUT DAMN TIME HE CHECK THAT B****"

[Asiaxfani]

@leg3nd348 Oh, okay. I just hated the Pegasus crew from the very beginning, they could all have had TROUBLE tattooed across their foreheads...

But that just shows the greatness of BSG really, not every show makes you react so strongly.

[opacid]

Chuck Norris was eaten by Bruce Lee who was eaten by Adama

[lifeattwentyfour]

This should be the official theme song for every Internet fanboy war.

[UserWithoutAnyName]

@lifeattwentyfour Fara Phoenix fanboy approves.

[kokomotoysonline]

Long live GALACTICA!

[adamaroslinfanatic]

@kokomotoysonline So Say We All!

[robertl30]

best track in all of BSG.

[pHaZe017]

you know shits about to go down when they play this music, especially in the online game..

[Kingrex16]

man this is a good one. i love it.

[Hunnars]

HOLY c*** did I listened to this song more than 500 000 times ?!

[MrEnglandsFinest]

@JaymieGrantham I know because I play the game : battlestar-galactica.bigpoint . com/*

[MrBiwinner]

one word: EPIC

[SWOLFOOI]

if you listen to this during sex or.... maybe a hard CV workout, you'll die of a frakking heart attack

[adamaroslinfanatic]

@SWOLFOOI I've listened to this during a sprint in gym class, and everytime the major drum parts came through, it was amazing. I would bolt past everyone right at 2:54 and finish before them.

[nikostripesmiller]

What episode is this in?

[JuIietBurke]

@nikostripesmiller 2.10 or 2.11, not sure which one is it but you should try 2.11 first cause to sum up, in episod 2.10 the BS Pegasus just arrives and in 2.11 he begins to fight with the BS Galactica and this song is played during the "war" between these 2 ships.

[JuIietBurke]

@nikostripesmiller I just checked and it is the very end of 2.10

[TharTassakahn]

@nikostripesmiller It's episode with the standoff between Galactica and Pegasus, I think?

[HappyHuskyAspen]

Battlestar Galactica Blood and Chrome on HBO or Starz, imagine the possibilities, now that would be frakin awsome!

[kantlavar]

"I don't take orders from you."

"Call it whatever you like. I'm getting my men."

"You are making *such* a mistake."

"I'm getting my men." *click*

I applauded.

[SparklingControversy]

@kantlavar It was hilarious, my dad sat with my briefly and he must've got into it because he went "Blow the bitch to hell!"

[adamaroslinfanatic]

@SparklingControversy That is exactly what my dad and I said. That, and "Do. not. FRAK. with. Adama!"

[TheInvisibleHorse]

@kantlavar that's exactly what I hear in this song.

[oliverarado]

@kantlavar: "Admiral, this will spiral out of control fast"

[Aphraxus]

It is possible to actually be sooo damned into this song that you completely miss the Like button and press the dislike button - to my shame, it happened to me once.

[Kriegsarschmann]

@Aphraxus You and eighteen other people. Or perhaps all of you are Cylons...

You're not a toaster are you? No? Forgot to hit the "like" button? Likely story, skinjob. >:(

[aceshigh696]

commander...why are you launching vipers?

[jtno2]

I hope Mr. McCreary gets a chance to compose more epic music in a epic sci-fi action movies or series. It would be a shame if he had to earn a living scoring something like a sitcom or a romantic comedy.

[Amaranthaen]

This song has Adama written across every note.

[JDubs878]

I just bought the Battlestar series on blu-ray and started watching like a week ago and I have to say, this show is like crack, ecstacy, weed, heroin and cocaine all rolled into one! O_O

Everynight I startup this show I'm all excited and everytime I force myself to stop watching because I have to eat and sleep I get sad. =(

I was watching hockey and basketball playoffs beforehand, but they have now become secondary and I want to watch BSG all day. Someone help me break this addiction! Argghh! :X

[CynosuralTheory]

@JDubs878 watch this: watch?v=1aFQSU3mGbs

=)

[jtno2]

@JDubs878 So say we all!

[MCulpa]

@JDubs878

Once BSG's done, there's Caprica...and The Plan...and Razor.

You're not leaving anytime soon! >:D

[JDubs878]

@MCulpa

I'm in the middle of season 3 now. I can't stop watching, yet I kinda want to slow down because I don't want it to end so fast! =(

Not sure about Caprica because I heard it was kinda crappy, but can't wait for Blood and Chrome though. :D

[devriley50755]

@JDubs878 Caprica didn't get the ratings it needed to stay alive, and it had a different tone than BSG (obviously) but I loved it, for the most part.

[Sleeper919]

@JDubs878 Hey Jdubs, I was wondering if you could tell me which boxset you purchased? Was it the most recent up to date version that includes the Plan? I'm from the UK and I'm at a loss deciding how I should go about my purchases. I can get the individual seasons for a cheaper price but I'm not sure if they include all the special fatures etc... The UK complete box set has rubbish packaging and the US one seems way better.

[JDubs878]

@Sleeper919

I bought the UK box set because its much cheaper than the US edition and also because it had PROPER blu ray cases. The US redesigned box set looks nice, but it uses foldout cases to store the discs instead of regular cases.

I'm not sure if individual seasons include all special features, but both US and UK boxsets are identical except the US edition includes The Plan and UK doesn't, but that's not a big loss to me. Just go to Amazon UK and US and compare to see which you like more =)
