I first watched BSG with my gf and there were so many times that we were both holding back tears (Starbuck and lee fight scene esp.), but then during this scene we just looked at each other and started bawling! 1:20 gets me EVERY single time, and it's an amazingly beautiful and powerful scene. So say we all.
After all the years they spent together making so many decisions that would determine whether the human race would live on or be annihilated, if anyone deserved to find happiness in the end it would be these two.
I just wish that instead of dying, Roslin would have lived on so that she and Adama could build that cabin together and live a peaceful life from then on. It would have made all the hardship, pain and suffering they went through worth it then =(
THE saddest part ever on BSG, I was tearing up in everything, n then when I got it together theres that final final bit with the grave....... so sad, yet so sweet
This scene was almost too powerful. It was such a long journey and i was sad enough having to see the series end. We knew this moment was coming and i prepared my mind for it as much as possible but nothing could have prevented the tears from seeing this. It reminded me of my mom doing the same thing for my dad when he passed away. When you see something like that between two people, you realized that they created something that will live forever.
@roewedge This is a real representation of true love.They shared so many powerful moments in the series that it was sad to see her die. I knew that this scene was coming in the end, but I wish that it hadn't ended like this. Laura was the one woman that was able to win over his heart. That was a really sweet ending for those two. It showed how much Bill loved Laura by putting his wedding ring on her finger. That was the part that I truly started to cry. It was a very powerful and moving scene.
It's intersting that Adama also put his ring on Roslin's finger when she died in her visions while the baseship jums in "The Hub"...it was the same way...
I criy every time I watch this part. 1st Adama had to say goodbye to the mighty Galactica then his Forever love Laura. Eddie and Mary were tey heart and soul of the show and showed on screen. They was family. It makes me go "What if" the show went for another season or so. BSG will live on in our heats forever.
This is probably at least the twentieth time that I have watched this video. I always start to tear up when he firsts starts to take off his wedding ring and especially when he places it so gently on her finger.
@M31orNGC224 Roslin. A lot of the series was inspired by the original series. Watch the original BSG episode "War of the Gods" episode, it truly explains everything- Why people were saw what they saw, what were the angels/Lords of Kobol/Gods/God, what was the destiny they all shared, etc. It's just that Ronald D. Moore left it more open to interpretation, IMHO.
Edward James Olmos is one of the greatest actors of our times.. but Bear McCreary's music made this scene so Epic, Tragic and poetically beautiful all at once.. its so hard to see this with no tears.
scene's like these makes me realize that sci-fi shows get a bad rep. i think sci-fi is way more capable then any other genre to create emotional love stories.
This is the saddest thing ever filmed as far as I'm concerned. Part of it is the music of course but just the idea that he was trying to give her something, one last thing as she died. And Olmos is such an amazing, emotive actor
What is this track off the album - BSG season 2 - It sounds a bit like Roslin and Adama but this is a different version. Anyone know? and where it can be found
Good God, I was crying just watching the length of this clip! I bawl like a baby too every time I see this episode, for pretty much the whole episode. Edgefire hit it exactly...so much life. They made it! Beautiful.
I just saw this scene for the first of what I am certain will be thousands of times, and I sobbed like a baby - greatest feeling in the world when you do it for beauty. And this is of such a beauty that only Laura's final words suffice: so. much. life.
This would have been an absolutely perfect ending. In my opinion they did not need the final scene set in the future, but i suppose they felt like they needed some sort of epilogue. Oh well, still a fantastic scene with Bill and Laura!
"You go. Rest. Go to your rest now. I'm not going to be selfish anymore. Go rest now, Laura." that scene in the Hub made me cry, but not as much as this one. RIP Laura Adama, the last President of the Twelve Colonies. this show was the best ever! I bawled when Bill placed the wedding band on her finger. MM and EJO ROCKED the show!!! SO SAY WE ALL
Im glad that BSG gave us an ending, no matter if we liked it or not.
I though just dont understand why these people worked so hard to "live" and make it to "earth" only to choose to love solitary lives til death. example- Sr Adama, to build a cabin never to see or make contact with his son or anyone again. Jr Adama, to be some lone world explorer. The Dr and 6 to live alone on a farm. The Boomer archtype and her hubby and child also go off alone. Yeah Tigh and his wife went in a group.
One of the best series I have ever seen In Holland I finally could see the last episodes ! This series will be a golden standard for sci fi to come No cleanly shaven characters nor flawless humans opposite strange looking creatures Just people and their struggles with their own lives and with their destiny Even the details like so many characters smoking and drinking truly add to "real" feeling
I am so sorry it is over but than again :
"All this has happened before and it will happen again "
laid out the cabin today. It's gonna have an easterly view. You should see the light that we get here, when the sun comes from behind those mountains. It's almost heavenly. It reminds me of you.
Let this scene be a lesson to all those people out there that think for a tv show or movie to be great every scene has to feature a battle violence and a sex scene. I like galactica because not every episode features a battle the BSG episode a day in the life had adama having conversations with his now dead ex-wife on their wedding anniversary the same can be said for the enterprise episode similitude not a space battle in sight and its one of enterprise's best episodes
i fail to see how this ending is sad. roslin and adama shared more that most people ever do. in the end adama/roslin were content with knowing that they had been privilaged enough to lived live/grow/share/...together. neither one of them was sitting in that raptor saying "oh i'm never going to get too spend the rest of my life with so-and-so." they knew what they had shared/felt and to imply that it was all lost with death is cheating the show for what it was worth.they WERE happy throughout
I think that it's that their simple ambitions were denied them. Certainly they have their dreams, but after all of the spectacular losses over the preceding years, one would have hoped they could have had a moment of solace.
What makes it tragic is that the parable from the Pythian Prophecies "...the dying leader will not live to see the promised land..." was literally true, as her vision had more or less failed her.
I cry every time as well. But I think that Laura's dream was to find Earth (or Earth 2). And I think that the cabin was more closure for Adama than anything. I think it was a perfect (albeit sad) ending.
The musical theme that Bear made for Roslin and Adama really adds to the emotion of this scene. When I hear that track come on, I have to stop and sit down - it gets me teary eyed. I didn't cry when the scene started, but when he slipped his ring on her finger - that sent me over the edge.
I cry everytime I watch this part. It is so sad that they finally found our Earth and they could have lived happily ever after. These last scenes were very moving and show us the love respect they had for each other as R/A but also as Eddie and Mary and their journey these last 4 years. BSG will live on in our hearts and DVDs.
no i think the sad part is that he had an ending and we saw it, but just be happy that most got there good ending including adama but it just goes to show not everyone gets the happily ever after they always wanted
It was so sad this scene, but I think what got me more is that is seemed so much like Adama lost hope in the end and just waited to die. I really rather he had built his cabin and than tried to make his way back to his son. So many characters had depressing endings.
@Mcplkelly is it really depressing though? In the end he accomplished the objectives and as true leaders both he and Roslin ensured the well being of others. It may be a sad moment but it is a beautiful moment because he was able to tell her that he loved her, share moments with her, and that he "believed" because of her. Some people never really get to be with the people they want to be with.. so this is a happy ending :). It would be cool to see him and his son together but remember the hub.
So sad . Adama lost both his girls like Roslin said he would. So sad, feel sorry for him, great scene great season great finale. In my honest opinion Best TV Show and dramatic piece of Sci-Fi ever written produced and directed.
It made perfect sense to me. The Bible states that Adam and Eve were put here to repopulate the planet. This pretty much explains it and with the ending set 150,000 years later , we are Cylon in nature more and more it seems. Check check out all the mechanical implants we have .
no way that qith 30, 0000 people they regressed to stone age with no idea of science or progress plus no way thet all agrred to give up their tech and become hippies
Remember: the fleet was desperately low on the basics; medicine, electronics, etc. Everything was pretty much held together with spit and duct tape. Going down a few tech levels from FTL drives and spaceships would actually make things easier, not harder.
Maybe the effect they had to change humans on earth into homosapiens with better hunting techniques and breeding so the local tribes (neanderthals) either died out due to not been able to compete with the colonials or were simply bred out...my dates are probably totally wrong but that my intial impression :P
I'm not sure if as one of the colonists I could watch the fleet fly into the sun, give up everything...become a hunter gatherer. To forsake your history and culture for the sake of saving your genetic code?
Incidentally, I found it hard to believe that the colonists influence had little or no effect on the existing tribes.... some science, even farming (the backbone of society) must have made some impression. Are we to believe even this idea was forsaken in order to break the cycle? Too much.
I bawled like a baby..I don't care who knows. When he carried her to the ship..the line that got me was when he said to Lee: "I haven't got much time." *weeps* Because you just KNEW.....I'm a little teary now.
So heartbreaking and beautiful. BSG will be very greatly missed. Mary and Eddie knocked it out of the park on this one. <3
I've seen these scenes seven or 8 times now, and not only have I teared up every time, but I have literally wept and sobbed most of those times. This time was no exception. What an exceptional pair they are. One of the greatest TV moments ever created.
Edward James Olmos & Mary MacDonald ... and really the entire cast got a GREAT couple of scripts and some powerful write-offs for their characters.
But they did a great job with these characters and this relationship/couple of carefully showing love that isn't just hormone driven in contrast to almost every other couple.
the saddest part for me was when Anders flew away with entire fleet towards the sun. When he talks about the perfection and being connected to perfection, when he flew away it was the perfect way to go, to be connected to the building-blocks of the universe, the source of all life, and thus freeing the world from technology, that was the saddest scene:(
BTW the roslin adama soundtrack is just marvelous. thumbs up Bear McCreary:D
This was one of the best pieces of Sci-Fi I have ever seen in my life, will miss it, It could of gone on a bit longer than it did. This scene tore my heart out, very upsetting I felt very sorry for Adama when Roslin dies, in the end in my mind he was already married to her and to complete it he places his wedding ring on her finger, beautiful but saddening scene.
I hope that you tube does not delete this,.It is a tribute to 2 Excellent actors that I have seen inmy lifetime... I love you Adama, I love you Roslin, May God bring you both, together once and for all..
I will still cry loosing you both, but I kow you will always be within my heart.
Indeed. That line just got me nearly choked up, nearly making me cry like a woman alone with ice cream and a sad romantic movie. Truly an epic line. So many powerful emotions of love expressed in one line. Olmos should be given an Emmy just for that.
reminds me of when adama used to read aloud to roslin when she was going through her treatments. adama ends up living her dream - he built roslin her cabin. what a fitting end.
Laura+Bill = owns my heart forever. This is one of the most beautiful and sad scenes from the finale (the other is when he takes her in his arms). :'( *cries, sobbs)
The most perfect ending for the BSG story. The Finale was pure poetry. Those final scenes made BSG into something more than simply "The Best Television Show Ever", it made it into Art.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Then you werent paying attention to the series at all, you just liked that Laura and Bill were "kissy kissy". Look PAST that and see that Roslyn really did have all of that coming to her karma-wise. She treated Athena like shit and even faked Hera's death, she was also dumb enough not to trust KARA's visions of Earth when she was right all along. Laura=Idiot.
Athena treated anyone who didn't kiss her ass like shit as well, so she had a great deal coming to her karma-wise that she never got. I didn't like her getting beat up by Boomer, but I was cheering her on when she frakked Helo pretending to be Athena, because that's how Athena seduced him back on Caprica.
So...you're perfectly fine with Athena suffering from the loss of Hera and Helo commiting unintentional adultery because she had the balls to tell people to listen to her because she was trying to help them and REDEEMING herself for seducing Helo?
Your double-standards are laughable. Roslyn did worse things. You're fracking delusional. Athena got the last laugh.
Racist was kind of a wrong word to describe it. She was very hostile towards the rebel Cylons. Towards Kara, she tried to kill her, but she was so pumped up on drugs she missed. She always thought she was right. Every time the cylons tried to make some kind of peace she would always assume it was a trick, and most of the time it wasn't. When I said racist I wasn't expressing my self properly. What I ment was that she was always very hostile and hateful towards the cylons.
She was a lot more open-minded to the Cylons than a lot of other people would, or we should have expected. THEY MURDERED FIFTY BILLION PEOPLE IN A DISHONORABLE SNEAK ATTACK. Nothing any of the humans did (aside from Baltar) has come close to that.
Well they did annihilate their entire race and civilization. Even today, many Jews find trusting Germans very difficult, I mean we're moving forward a lot better than our parents and grandparents, but it hasn't been easy. It's very hard when you have to face so much of your history, culture and way of life being lost like that.
You bet your ass Adama finished that cabin... so say we all...

The musical theme that Bear made for Roslin and Adama really adds to the emotion of this scene. When I hear that track come on, I have to stop and sit down - it gets me teary eyed. I didn't cry when the scene started, but when he slipped his ring on her finger - that sent me over the edge.

I cry everytime I watch this part. It is so sad that they finally found our Earth and they could have lived happily ever after. These last scenes were very moving and show us the love respect they had for each other as R/A but also as Eddie and Mary and their journey these last 4 years. BSG will live on in our hearts and DVDs.

no i think the sad part is that he had an ending and we saw it, but just be happy that most got there good ending including adama but it just goes to show not everyone gets the happily ever after they always wanted
007justforfun 2 years ago
It was so sad this scene, but I think what got me more is that is seemed so much like Adama lost hope in the end and just waited to die. I really rather he had built his cabin and than tried to make his way back to his son. So many characters had depressing endings.
Mcplkelly 2 years ago
@Mcplkelly is it really depressing though? In the end he accomplished the objectives and as true leaders both he and Roslin ensured the well being of others. It may be a sad moment but it is a beautiful moment because he was able to tell her that he loved her, share moments with her, and that he "believed" because of her. Some people never really get to be with the people they want to be with.. so this is a happy ending :). It would be cool to see him and his son together but remember the hub.

So sad . Adama lost both his girls like Roslin said he would. So sad, feel sorry for him, great scene great season great finale. In my honest opinion Best TV Show and dramatic piece of Sci-Fi ever written produced and directed.

It made perfect sense to me. The Bible states that Adam and Eve were put here to repopulate the planet. This pretty much explains it and with the ending set 150,000 years later , we are Cylon in nature more and more it seems. Check check out all the mechanical implants we have .

@46Evan53 Which brings up the question if we will have to rediscover our humanity? Perhaps the process of living is just to rediscover your humanity.

obviously it is 'way' remember this is a tv program therefore fiction.. therefore the writers do as they seem fit.

Remember: the fleet was desperately low on the basics; medicine, electronics, etc. Everything was pretty much held together with spit and duct tape. Going down a few tech levels from FTL drives and spaceships would actually make things easier, not harder.

Maybe the effect they had to change humans on earth into homosapiens with better hunting techniques and breeding so the local tribes (neanderthals) either died out due to not been able to compete with the colonials or were simply bred out...my dates are probably totally wrong but that my intial impression :P
Isare2783 2 years ago
I'm not sure if as one of the colonists I could watch the fleet fly into the sun, give up everything...become a hunter gatherer. To forsake your history and culture for the sake of saving your genetic code?
Incidentally, I found it hard to believe that the colonists influence had little or no effect on the existing tribes.... some science, even farming (the backbone of society) must have made some impression. Are we to believe even this idea was forsaken in order to break the cycle? Too much.

We can distort the meaning of the prophecy.
Adama promised her a quiet little place for her cabin. She never lived to see it.
So she did not live to see the promise " land" Adama promised her.

I bawled like a baby..I don't care who knows. When he carried her to the ship..the line that got me was when he said to Lee: "I haven't got much time." *weeps* Because you just KNEW.....I'm a little teary now.
So heartbreaking and beautiful. BSG will be very greatly missed. Mary and Eddie knocked it out of the park on this one. <3

I've seen these scenes seven or 8 times now, and not only have I teared up every time, but I have literally wept and sobbed most of those times. This time was no exception. What an exceptional pair they are. One of the greatest TV moments ever created.
ShuShuMcJ 2 years ago 5
Edward James Olmos & Mary MacDonald ... and really the entire cast got a GREAT couple of scripts and some powerful write-offs for their characters.
But they did a great job with these characters and this relationship/couple of carefully showing love that isn't just hormone driven in contrast to almost every other couple.

the saddest part for me was when Anders flew away with entire fleet towards the sun. When he talks about the perfection and being connected to perfection, when he flew away it was the perfect way to go, to be connected to the building-blocks of the universe, the source of all life, and thus freeing the world from technology, that was the saddest scene:(
BTW the roslin adama soundtrack is just marvelous. thumbs up Bear McCreary:D

This was one of the best pieces of Sci-Fi I have ever seen in my life, will miss it, It could of gone on a bit longer than it did. This scene tore my heart out, very upsetting I felt very sorry for Adama when Roslin dies, in the end in my mind he was already married to her and to complete it he places his wedding ring on her finger, beautiful but saddening scene.
mart270 2 years ago 4
I hope that you tube does not delete this,.It is a tribute to 2 Excellent actors that I have seen inmy lifetime... I love you Adama, I love you Roslin, May God bring you both, together once and for all..
I will still cry loosing you both, but I kow you will always be within my heart.

Indeed. That line just got me nearly choked up, nearly making me cry like a woman alone with ice cream and a sad romantic movie. Truly an epic line. So many powerful emotions of love expressed in one line. Olmos should be given an Emmy just for that.

reminds me of when adama used to read aloud to roslin when she was going through her treatments. adama ends up living her dream - he built roslin her cabin. what a fitting end.

Her death added much needed significant loss to the finale. It was sad, but not unexpected.
I think as someone added here, her appearing next to Adama, would have taken a ton away from her death.

Then you werent paying attention to the series at all, you just liked that Laura and Bill were "kissy kissy". Look PAST that and see that Roslyn really did have all of that coming to her karma-wise. She treated Athena like shit and even faked Hera's death, she was also dumb enough not to trust KARA's visions of Earth when she was right all along. Laura=Idiot.
HeyArnoldsspleen 2 years ago
Athena treated anyone who didn't kiss her ass like shit as well, so she had a great deal coming to her karma-wise that she never got. I didn't like her getting beat up by Boomer, but I was cheering her on when she frakked Helo pretending to be Athena, because that's how Athena seduced him back on Caprica.
katie9918 2 years ago
So...you're perfectly fine with Athena suffering from the loss of Hera and Helo commiting unintentional adultery because she had the balls to tell people to listen to her because she was trying to help them and REDEEMING herself for seducing Helo?
Your double-standards are laughable. Roslyn did worse things. You're fracking delusional. Athena got the last laugh.

Racist was kind of a wrong word to describe it. She was very hostile towards the rebel Cylons. Towards Kara, she tried to kill her, but she was so pumped up on drugs she missed. She always thought she was right. Every time the cylons tried to make some kind of peace she would always assume it was a trick, and most of the time it wasn't. When I said racist I wasn't expressing my self properly. What I ment was that she was always very hostile and hateful towards the cylons.
norsknerd 2 years ago
She was a lot more open-minded to the Cylons than a lot of other people would, or we should have expected. THEY MURDERED FIFTY BILLION PEOPLE IN A DISHONORABLE SNEAK ATTACK. Nothing any of the humans did (aside from Baltar) has come close to that.
katie9918 2 years ago
Well they did annihilate their entire race and civilization. Even today, many Jews find trusting Germans very difficult, I mean we're moving forward a lot better than our parents and grandparents, but it hasn't been easy. It's very hard when you have to face so much of your history, culture and way of life being lost like that.
