Everytime I go onto youtube, I find another brilliant piece of Bear McCreary. Seriously, BSG redefined Soundtracks for TV shows, they set the bar ridiculously high! - Nothing can ever, EVER compare to this!
@AexCN625 definitely incredibly good as well! Still, I personally (maybe I should have added that in my initial statement ^^) stand by my point: BSG all the way.
This is *actually* \m/etal - Scott Ian of Anthrax played Guitar on the studio version of "Apocalypse", as he's a HUGE fan of the show, had an Official Blog on ScFi.com back in the day, and visited the set which resulted in a picture of him in a Viper. I'm pretty sure it's written in Pythia that my favorite TV Score and my favorite Thrash Band were destined to meet... :-D
I bought the Plan on Blu-Ray and I don't even have the player to read it, I mean my parents do and it was amazing how I cryied before the images but still, I want my own BD Player ! ^^
From McCreary's official website: Lyrics (Sanskrit, IAST transliteration): Oṃ bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ Tat savitur vareṇyaṃ Bhargo devasya dhīmahi dhiyo yo naḥ pracodayāt English translation (Gayatri Pariwar version): Oh God! Thou art the Giver of Life, Remover of pain and sorrow, The Bestower of happiness, Oh! Creator of the Universe, May we receive thy supreme sin-destroying light, May Thou guide our intellect in the right direction.
Only two tracks from Bear McCreary's Battlestar Galactica soundtrack (including Mini Series and feature length episodes, etc) come close to the awesomeness of this. 'All Along The Watchtower' and 'Gaetas Lament'. This really is STUNNING. By far one of his best works.
@Illisia IF you ac tually listen it has the same lyrics as the main theme of battlestar (second one from later seasons) only sped up and with a different tune to it and of course lengthened.
@wingc1959 lol I am well aware that it is the theme tune for Battlestar Galactica. Indeed, Bear actually plagerises himself on several occasions, I know this all too well, but it does not make his music any less brilliant ;-) If you want another example, try listening to the Caprica main and end themes and then the main end themes for Dark Void. They have differing speeds, with slightly different notes here and there, different instruments, etc, but it really is the same track just repeated lol
@terrcraft18 Great composers (Hans Zimmer and Danny Elfman are two more examples) always rinse and repeat :-p In their defence, they add a little variety into each mix of course ;-)
The Cylons won the war,their revenge was taken and they could have focused on rebuilding "their" civilization on the colonies. Their obsession for completing the genocide of man stopped them from becoming more.......
@dukemorran1 They wanted god's Attention, that's why they decided to go after their brothers, both childrens of God (in their religion). They were consumed by Envy, that's why they did that. Specially the Asshole Cavil
Cavil wanted to be the absolute cylon leader, God in any form was getting in his way of being that, that is why he hated the faithful cylons and declared war against them. Cavil's plan was all about his power rather than the cylons freedom.
In my own opinion, the cylons were sloppy, I mean, if there was only 1 ship, they wouldn't send 4 base stars, if they had been chased and not destroyed this long id have a big massive fleet that could blow up galatica in less then a mili-second
@Mithrondly I understand where you are coming from, but the fleet basically had their finger on the jumpdrive the entire time. It's hard to send a huge fleet a large distance when you only have so much tylium. Also they did what you mentioned a few times, such as New Caprica and when they hit the checkpoint and everyone lost power. Galactica was saved both times by the skin of their teeth and all along the path the cylons were never completely determined in exterminating Galactica.
JungleNin: I wanna taste dark matter. I bet it tastes like chicken.
Like all matter, dark matter has no flavor. How it "tastes" depends on the sensory apparatus you probe it with. To you it merely tastes chickeny. To we, it tastes of the shell that birthed Baby Chickesus. It tastes of the sharp tectonic crack when Chickesus emerged. It tastes of the future Mother Omega Egg you have not yet remembered, crowing, "Alpha Chicken! Omega Egg! Alpha! Omega! Alpha Om Egga! CHIKKA BITCH GODDISS ALIVE!"
At the begining it's a threnody for the dead, for all the inocents killed in the cylon's attack, but when the metal badassery of Scott Ian guitar comes at 1:30 it becomes something more, something more primal.
It becomes a prayer for hope, for strength and one single rebellious howling yell against the upcoming darkness.
Yeah, Humanity was almost destroyed, "almost" being the word... too bad Cavil and his gang did not count with one single tiny ship that kicked arse like nobody bussines.

@Hidarite100 in conclusion it means " Oh God! Thou art the Giver of Life, Remover of pain and sorrow,The Bestower of happiness,Oh! Creator of the Universe,May we receive thy supreme sin-destroying light,May Thou guide our intellect in the right direction "
@Coelacanth1938 Yeah, this guy's good. He really takes his character role seriously and plays it with such passion and intensity that makes his character seem so believable and real!
I know the prayer and it's meaning, the prononcuation of the words is off in this song, but no surprise it's prob created by someone that doesn't speak Hindi/Sanskrit
The whole BSG series is amazing, epic, and briliant. But to make it even better, we are fortunate enough to have such a talented composer to make the music for it. Bear McCreary is also amazing and extremely gifted.
I think most of u don`t see the big picture bsg is trying to give u - and its space for interpretation. You have so many mystical elements, so many "unsolved" questions, do u really think bsg wants to give u clear answers?
And I loved Cavill`s speech, for it is truely why he acts like he does. He doesn`t want to be human, because he isn`t human. He is caught between human & machine, tangeling with his fate,quivering with revenge, longing to be a machine, detached from his human limitations.
i luv brother cavill's speech before the prayer, its so like batty from bladerunner. a pained misunderstanding of what it is to be human, ignoring desire as something human. regardless, the prayer mixed wit bear's beats is superb!
I wonder if they'll make a second "The Plan", since the story wasn't finished. It seems like it would finish with the six blowing her self up with the nuke and the cylons finding that and New Caprica.
EJO seemed pretty keen on making additional BSG movies after the plan, but RDM seems to be like "eh... Eddie's just a bit crazy there. BSG is done".
But they did take a full digital catalog of the sets. Just in case....
I agree though, It would have been nice if the plan was like 4 hours and had some more of the back story stuff before the attack on the colonies, and then stuff like Gina blowing up Cloud 9, up to New Caprica.
@TwiztedSound The words the woman sings are the gayatri mantra. Roughly translated, they mean: "O, Supreme Lord, The Source Of Existence, Intelligence And Bliss, The Creator Of the Universe. May We Prove Worthy Of Thy Choice And Acceptance; May We Meet Thy Glorious Grace. We Meditate On Thy Transcendental Light. Please Illuminate Our Intellect And Lead Us Unto Righteousness".
Yeah Gaurav -- the Gayatri Mantra was also used in the series' opening sequence for Seasons 2-4. (Here in the US, SyFy used different music for season 1's broadcasts.) The Apocalypse version in The Plan is nice though. Very nice.
@DarthIre It is called GAYATRI MANTRA. U only put this on internet, there are thousands of translations... It's a beautiful pray mantra... and this song is beautiful as well... hope u find it, greetings from Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain!
Thank you for posting this. I frakking love this track and the itunes version is a live recording that doesn't really capture how terrifying and awesome this song is. Bear, you've done it again.
I highly recommend BSG. I'm normally not into sci fi and it has really raised the bar. I'm actually re-watching the series since it's winter break and I have nothing better to do. Season 3 is the best IMHO.
Well, got the mini series disc on netflix, at first was really kinda weird/had lots of flaws, but the storyline got better + the action, so now I'm hooked.
In all honesty, I must agree. It was because of Sci Fi's meddling and they wanted BSG to be more episodic. The Woman King was by far the absolute worst BSG episode ever. Dirty hands seemed episodic, but at least seemed relevant and BSG like.
i think The Woman King was a murder mystery kind of thriller episode to give more insight into the racism and cultures living in the fleet, it wasn't awful if you ask me, just mildly irrelevant to the storyline as a whole
They could say their perspective was "we want yankee doodles and humans wont let us" it still wouldnt change the fact that its fucking stupid. Giving a reason doesn't mean it's good writing. It was nothing but a series of copouts. They didnt know what they were doing in the beginning and tried to cover their asses thats all. No big deal, but this movie sucks balls and ruined the one good "plothole" by saying Shelley Godfrey was a cylon instead of Angel Six.
Saying that Shelley Godfrey is Angel Six is a completely stupid idea. And the only people that think the plot of the entire story were never listening to the most important, and meaningfull spoken point of dialog in the entire series. It just happens to be the first spoken line of Dialog in the Episode 33. instead of needing to invent your own understandings of a show you can't comprehend, don't assign your own mishapen theories as to what you think it's about. eople like you hated the finale.
@msa1985 it was like a lost episode, what's wrong with that? the show is over. it's not like it would've been a continuation and it couldn't have changed the storyline or people would've been pissed. chill.
Sorry but I don't agree, one of the things I found disconcerting about season 4 is that everything was so compressed. I did not full understand why the Cylon had a civil war . The plan gives more background to the build up to New Caprica and the Cylon Civil war.
In essence, the Cylon became more Human because they actually got more experience of emotion, and the Humans became more Cylon in order to survive. This track IMHO embodies that. If you understand Ancient Eastern thought..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Nothing in the Plan had anything to do with the civil war, which came long after the end of "The Plan", which takes place right before they colonize New Caprica. The civil war was about Cavill lobotomizing the raiders, not a change of heart over attacking the colonies.
It was shitty writing in an attempt to explain their plotholes. It didn't work. It still doesn't explain why Cavil would do dumb shit like try to show Tigh how evil humans are by putting him in the military to fight evil cylons.
Which of course is your taste and opinion, others may disagree and neither of both us may be right. By the way what do you like? You told what you didn't.
I have to correct you. The civil war breaks out right after four of the last fife are revealed. A raider scans Anders' viper during battle and they stop fighting. That takes place after the rescue of New Caprica.
since seeing the PLAN it really didnt bring me any closer to the show but bear mcrreary and raya yarbrough on the other hand Im now very interested in Doin a bit of research on the theme I find out that its a 3000 year old mantra it just gives the movie so much
"...only the machine keeps using time to make time to make time. And when the machine stops, time is an illusion that we've created. Free will, 12 battles, 3 stars, and then we are countless as the bodies wich we dwell are both parent and infinite children in perfect copy. No degradation."
I always felt the difference was more like between a battleship and a cruiser. With the Valkayries being more of a common design to supplement the large ships and perform roles that wouldn't suit a Mercury, like fleet reconnaissance or attacking low priority targets
i think valkyrie is much more for stealth and fire support (like today´s missile cruisers are suppossed to be)... Mercury-Class Battlestars are the most powerful in a close combat ship2ship fight
Best scene in The Plan was the shot of several battlestars going into battle over Caprica. I am not certain, but I think these BSs are different from any we saw in the series. They looked even more bad-ass than the Pegasus.
No there's actually two times ya get a look at them. One; in Razor, when the ship yard gets attacked. Two; when Adama has a flashback to when he commanded the Valkyrie. They are bad-ass.
Help me out here. Are you saying that Valkyrie and the 2 BS shown in the battle scene in The Plan are all of the same class? I could be totally wrong, but the 2 BS in The Plan looked larger than anything they had shown b4, including Valkyrie and Pegasus. I admit that the scene in Razor at the shipyards went so fast that I don't recall what those other BSs looked like.
Those ships are the same as the Valkyrie, and they are smaller than both Pegasus and Galactica. Though they are very similar to Pegasus, there's about 500m difference, let alone the "valkyrie" class is a thin stealthy ship. Agreed Razor did go fast, the only way i could tell was the nose of the ship.
Thanks for clearing that up, Zagon. Can I ask you one more thing: is there any BS class more powerful than the valkyrie class? Maybe the flagship of the fleet, the Atlantia?
If the Atlantia was admiral Nagala's actual command, I would think the Atlantia would be a very powerful BS.
Probaly a mercury class.
Of course, its possible Admiral Nagala had transferred his command to the Atlantia as he was unable to reach his own BS during the cylon attack. In which case the Atlantia might be any type of BS.
I would think Nagala would pick the most powerful available BS as his command, so the Atlantia would still be high up the BS rankings.
There are definitely more powerful BSs than valkyrie, Pegasus would be my first example. However the Atantia was made flagship during the Cylon Attack after Fleet Headquarters on Picon was destroyed, so Admiral Nagala probably took the next best thing after his ship was destroyed. It's likely to be Mercury class seeing as the Mercury class battlestars are advanced capital warships. They are top of the line so they probably take the head of any fleet.

@TwiztedSound The words the woman sings are the gayatri mantra. Roughly translated, they mean: "O, Supreme Lord, The Source Of Existence, Intelligence And Bliss, The Creator Of the Universe. May We Prove Worthy Of Thy Choice And Acceptance; May We Meet Thy Glorious Grace. We Meditate On Thy Transcendental Light. Please Illuminate Our Intellect And Lead Us Unto Righteousness".

OMG this song is actually an Indian prayer.

Yeah Gaurav -- the Gayatri Mantra was also used in the series' opening sequence for Seasons 2-4. (Here in the US, SyFy used different music for season 1's broadcasts.) The Apocalypse version in The Plan is nice though. Very nice.

I highly recommend BSG. I'm normally not into sci fi and it has really raised the bar. I'm actually re-watching the series since it's winter break and I have nothing better to do. Season 3 is the best IMHO.

the start of season 3 was fantastic after s03E11 it kinda got bad for like 6 eps.
ScorpionXIII 2 years ago
In all honesty, I must agree. It was because of Sci Fi's meddling and they wanted BSG to be more episodic. The Woman King was by far the absolute worst BSG episode ever. Dirty hands seemed episodic, but at least seemed relevant and BSG like.
JulyForToday 2 years ago 2
i think The Woman King was a murder mystery kind of thriller episode to give more insight into the racism and cultures living in the fleet, it wasn't awful if you ask me, just mildly irrelevant to the storyline as a whole

What you say is soooo not true. If you want to see a little bit of Cyclon perspective than watch The Plan.

This has been flagged as spam show
They could say their perspective was "we want yankee doodles and humans wont let us" it still wouldnt change the fact that its fucking stupid. Giving a reason doesn't mean it's good writing. It was nothing but a series of copouts. They didnt know what they were doing in the beginning and tried to cover their asses thats all. No big deal, but this movie sucks balls and ruined the one good "plothole" by saying Shelley Godfrey was a cylon instead of Angel Six.
msa1985 2 years ago
Saying that Shelley Godfrey is Angel Six is a completely stupid idea. And the only people that think the plot of the entire story were never listening to the most important, and meaningfull spoken point of dialog in the entire series. It just happens to be the first spoken line of Dialog in the Episode 33. instead of needing to invent your own understandings of a show you can't comprehend, don't assign your own mishapen theories as to what you think it's about. eople like you hated the finale.

Sorry but I don't agree, one of the things I found disconcerting about season 4 is that everything was so compressed. I did not full understand why the Cylon had a civil war . The plan gives more background to the build up to New Caprica and the Cylon Civil war.
In essence, the Cylon became more Human because they actually got more experience of emotion, and the Humans became more Cylon in order to survive. This track IMHO embodies that. If you understand Ancient Eastern thought..

Nothing in the Plan had anything to do with the civil war, which came long after the end of "The Plan", which takes place right before they colonize New Caprica. The civil war was about Cavill lobotomizing the raiders, not a change of heart over attacking the colonies.
It was shitty writing in an attempt to explain their plotholes. It didn't work. It still doesn't explain why Cavil would do dumb shit like try to show Tigh how evil humans are by putting him in the military to fight evil cylons.

Which of course is your taste and opinion, others may disagree and neither of both us may be right. By the way what do you like? You told what you didn't.

I have to correct you. The civil war breaks out right after four of the last fife are revealed. A raider scans Anders' viper during battle and they stop fighting. That takes place after the rescue of New Caprica.

I always felt the difference was more like between a battleship and a cruiser. With the Valkayries being more of a common design to supplement the large ships and perform roles that wouldn't suit a Mercury, like fleet reconnaissance or attacking low priority targets

i think valkyrie is much more for stealth and fire support (like today´s missile cruisers are suppossed to be)... Mercury-Class Battlestars are the most powerful in a close combat ship2ship fight

Best scene in The Plan was the shot of several battlestars going into battle over Caprica. I am not certain, but I think these BSs are different from any we saw in the series. They looked even more bad-ass than the Pegasus.

No there's actually two times ya get a look at them. One; in Razor, when the ship yard gets attacked. Two; when Adama has a flashback to when he commanded the Valkyrie. They are bad-ass.
ZagonA92 2 years ago
Zagon:
Help me out here. Are you saying that Valkyrie and the 2 BS shown in the battle scene in The Plan are all of the same class? I could be totally wrong, but the 2 BS in The Plan looked larger than anything they had shown b4, including Valkyrie and Pegasus. I admit that the scene in Razor at the shipyards went so fast that I don't recall what those other BSs looked like.
sonoki82 2 years ago
Those ships are the same as the Valkyrie, and they are smaller than both Pegasus and Galactica. Though they are very similar to Pegasus, there's about 500m difference, let alone the "valkyrie" class is a thin stealthy ship. Agreed Razor did go fast, the only way i could tell was the nose of the ship.
ZagonA92 2 years ago
Thanks for clearing that up, Zagon. Can I ask you one more thing: is there any BS class more powerful than the valkyrie class? Maybe the flagship of the fleet, the Atlantia?
sonoki82 2 years ago
Rear Admiral Helen Cain commanded the Pegasus, a Mercury class battlestar.
Though this is mere conjecture, it stands to reason therefore that the Mercury class is the most powerful BS there is.
A rear admiral isn't likely to command anything else.
The Pegasus could built vipers. It did well when it got bushwhacked by three baseships in the Captains hand.
And it could clearly outfight the Galactica.
Twice the size of Galactica, yet needs half the crew.
Soundstop of the range to me.
SardaukarOne 2 years ago
If the Atlantia was admiral Nagala's actual command, I would think the Atlantia would be a very powerful BS.
Probaly a mercury class.
Of course, its possible Admiral Nagala had transferred his command to the Atlantia as he was unable to reach his own BS during the cylon attack. In which case the Atlantia might be any type of BS.
I would think Nagala would pick the most powerful available BS as his command, so the Atlantia would still be high up the BS rankings.
Mercury class is my pick.
SardaukarOne 2 years ago
There are definitely more powerful BSs than valkyrie, Pegasus would be my first example. However the Atantia was made flagship during the Cylon Attack after Fleet Headquarters on Picon was destroyed, so Admiral Nagala probably took the next best thing after his ship was destroyed. It's likely to be Mercury class seeing as the Mercury class battlestars are advanced capital warships. They are top of the line so they probably take the head of any fleet.
ZagonA92 2 years ago
Nagala took over because there was apparently no one else left.
Who knows where he ranks, but presumably he ranked high up.
At that juncture in the show, there was still 3/4 of the fleet left.
And someone had to try and do something. Like make their own BS the command center, or transfer their command to the best BS available.
From what we have seen of the colonial fleet, the Mercury class looks the most powerful battlestar out there.
SardaukarOne 2 years ago
The Pegasus/Mercury class is much bigger than the Valkyrie. So is the Galactica.
Just take a look at the size of the vipers compared to the Valkyrie and the other Valkyrie type battlestars.
Make the same comparison with the Pegasus and Galactica. You can barely see the vipers in relation to the Peg and Gal.
No so with the Valkyrie type battlestars.
At the Scorpio shipyards, the Pegasus was the biggest ship docked.
I have no idea how the raiders could miss that.
SardaukarOne 2 years ago
If you look at the BS's when they loose power, I'm pretty sure the first one actually says Valkyrie on it. Could just be an easter egg though.
