BSG - The Fall of Admiral Cain

[B1ackNinja04]

She reminds me of Olivier Armstong from Fma Brotherhood

[stromghouls]

the most hard ass female character i have ever seen in my life on tv.

[TonyEvans96]

@stromghouls dunno, I think Starbuck could kick her ass... but then against she's probably the only one who could.

[TristanXD27]

admiral helena cain from tauron knowed when she died that her ship and her crew is save.

[Reaverhobbies]

anyone got vid footage of the ending debate of "pegasus" episode where they duke it out on the phone? that was entertaining as fuck for whatever reason

[centurion180ad]

The sequences after the Rear Admiral shows up are clearly not well thought out. Either she’d be square like Adama with an interestingly different criterion for her judgments, or she’d be a most covert & crafty Cylon responsible for the success of the sneak attack.

No Rear Admiral would infiltrate goons onto her captain’s ship, and that is too obvious of brute force for a Cylon. We ARE talking about a carrier DIVISION commander C-in-C, not a hot-head cowboy captain.

[pinoi78]

Why ruin this with music from an inferior series?

[ADHSkind]

Viva Adama, for fucks sake!

[CEOkiller]

Yet another reason to hate Gaius Baltar...

[XvxBERSERKxvX]

Did anyone besides me think Cain was SUPER HOT !

[gv1955]

@XvxBERSERKxvX

I thought actor was hot when she was in star treck the next generation.

[centurion180ad]

@XvxBERSERKxvX Way too tall for my taste, but yes nice strait dark hair and a magnificent upper & lower superstructure.

[SternMann93]

Oh, the imperial march really does fit admiral Cain well! :)

[TheCidAndBrianSaga]

ummmmm...?

[Ghats212]

Star wars theme? Ugh this is horrible.....

[budd2200]

Laura found out that she had cancer before the fall of the colonies

[iceass01]

what the hell does the STAR WARS theme has to do with the BSG series? 

[lazzy15ar]

this musci whit BSG is a crime!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[nighthawk006phoenix]

@lazzy15ar: Agreed! ;

[VALKYRIE620]

nice , i wish somone would post this show down between cain and adama, but a noraml version.

[TheSithFan]

WHERE CAN I GET THAT SONG!?!?!?! (metallica imperial march)

[CIEGE1000]

she should have slapped gina's gun away & drawn down b4 she died

[EmperorofTerra]

Clain is like one of the too much glorified Grand Admirals of the Empire, that's why her life exactly ended like one of them. Executed by a captain.

[raionfavorites]

@EmperorofTerra Actually she was executed by a Cylon, who was possing as a civilian contractor, Gina never held a military rank in the colonial fleet, if you excuse me for the correction.

[EmperorofTerra]

@raionfavorites but she was executed .... ^^

[raionfavorites]

@EmperorofTerra indeed she was :)

[Litzen2k]

And this shall be "hightech" guys xD

They still use wiredphones and minimodels on a big flat tabel haha

nwm! Its a great show!

[robotmaster123]

lol its so they dont have a network betwen things every thing must be protected from the cylons-

[Litzen2k]

haha ok , thx for Info ! :)

[HooksGambit]

Great version of the imperial march, fits very well!

[greenneutron]

The point I think is that she's not by nature evil. The circumstances she's in make her that way. Yes she made ruthless calls but the circumstances didn't really give her much time to carefully consider her choices.

Certainly she is not a classic pure hero character, but she is also not a pure villain. You'd be hard pressed to find a more nuanced female character on any other show.

[bjahava]

Cain wasnt about saving humans... she was about destroying cylons.

[studioAREfan]

very true...

[centurion180ad]

@bjahava Even so.

A Rear Admiral is a carrier DIVISION C-in-C, not some hot-head cowboy. She'd never infiltrate goons aboard her captain's ship, and fighting 2 carriers is significantly more demanding, which ofcourse requires close cooperation particularly from a subbordinate Adama.

After the enormous beating both human ships had been through, BOTH would all but wet themselves in glee to find each other alive, much less with a capital ship still in the fight.

I do not like this part.

[centurion180ad]

@greenneutron The sequences with the Rear Admiral are not well thought out. She's a carrier DIVISION C-in-C, not some hot headed cowboy captain, else she'd never have been promoted those 2 stars. Both ships had been badly beaten up, so the 2 finding each other they ought to have wet themselves in glee.

There ought to have been a HUGE crew & equipment swap, and enitre viper squadrons exchanged. 2 carriers is 20 times more effective than 1, and BOTH would adapt to the new division.

[Lonovavir]

1) Is it just me or is Cain a knockoff of Admiral Daala from the Kevin Anderson SW trilogy?

2) They could have done much more to make Cain a multi-dimensional character instead of a comic book villain.

[sparrowlt]

1)-Nope.. Cain was allready a character in the original Galactica series..they simply made it a woman now and put her rank above Adama (in the original Adama outranked Cain)

2)-They did it to some degree in Razor

[brutusz5z]

I love the Cain character. While she does commit evil acts she still remains sympathetic, especially with her flashback in Razor.

I find having Cain allows for a contrast to Adama, which makes Adama's balance of military order and considerations with compassion that much more powerful to appreciate.

[Vrael473]

Your right, but i think at moments she is a poor commander compared to Adama. She sacrifices where she doesnt need to when Adama, only does what is necessary.

[darthroden]

Hell Cain reminded me of Diana from V

[Evan7893]

shut up cain ruled!!! she had the guts to kill those people so that she could keep up the fight

[labartic]

The guts? You mean she had the inhumanity to execute people in front of their families? Not to mention shooting her XO for refusing to order their forces to engage in a near-suicidal mission for a non-essential strike on a relatively unimportant communications station.

[DarthKickasss]

i agree with you Labartic, she had to be stopped. the war was over before it started. and the only way for humanity to survive is for those last two Battlestars to protect it.

[labartic]

Cain is evil. I am glad she is dead, as entertaining as she was...she was still an evil cunt.

[MaryFanatic94]

Oh, forget you! She's not evil, so shut up!

[labartic]

Not evil? She had civilians executed, executed her own XO just so her ship could be involved in a mission that was obviously an ambush and sustained horrible losses just to save face.... she is fucking retarded. Evil and incompetent.

[mart270]

Also who besides me thinks that President Roslin is a "CYLON" I know I do but we will have to wait to see.....

[Dngrspot]

I would almost be willing to bet my paycheck that she is not.

[Finchy000]

no she isnt, she has cancer, and cylons cant get cancer so she cant be.

[saintconnnor]

I THINK ITS LEE :P

its just to fuck with everyones mind, announced in the last episode :P

[Sirumakato]

@mart270

She is not a Cylon you fraking idiot.

If she is then she wouldn't have cancer.

[mart270]

@Sirumakato And did you notice that my comment was written over 3 years ago now, so everything in the damn series was open to speculation you fraking dumb ass.......

And BTW not good to call others idiots on here if you can't take don't give.

[Sirumakato]

@mart270

You find out Roslin have cancer at like what... .Season 2?

That was made before 2007 dumbass.

[mart270]

@Sirumakato Wow you are really not worth the effort talking to, go away now, and do something constructive with your time instead of leaving stupid comments, why dont you just chill it's a tv show, and like I say it's a show that was open to a hell load of speculation at the time, Final word "Have a nice day." And I'll give ya a smiley face as well just to see what you say next because you have really given me such a day brigtener. :0)

[Sirumakato]

@mart270

YOu still did not refute my statement.

She got her cancer during season 2 which was made before 2007.

[mart270]

@Sirumakato Yeah I know she had cancer during season 2, but she found out about it in the pilot episode as I recall and the relevance of that plot was building over time, even the speculation of what Adama said in season one where he says "Any one of us could be a Cylon" and only Baltar at that time knows who is and who isn't, which is why I have said in my previous comments that the show had a lot of speculation back in the start from the pilot episode right up to the very end of it.

[dealmaker007]

@Sirumakato Actually she found out she had cancer while she was still on Caprica...she just didn't tell people in the fleet until later.

[mart270]

Adama would kick Cane's ass any day of the week she was a pure evil biotch.......

And I think the Galactica would of kicked the Pegassus to hell and back also.

[saintconnnor]

if you think galactica would win a battle, you are mad,

unless its hand to hand combat, then maybe, but not ship vs ship, pegasus is faster and has more firepower

[mart270]

Ah it dont matter really, but what the hell Galactica is 50 years old and it's still alive and ticking, but god's damn it it's a t.v show and an amazing one at that. But when all said and done I just like the look of the Galactica more than the Pegasus, but thats just me "I happen to appreciate the classic's"

[saintconnnor]

and thats your call, ill take "the beast" over " the bucket" any day off the week ;)

[cdrhunter64]

while Admiral Cane was a good leader in many ways her treatment of prisoners was probably against colonial law (at least civvie statutes).

[cazzykay23]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO TI ROCK

[AllTerroristsMustDie]

I'm sorry, but Cain was frakking awesome. They should have killed Roslin in "Epiphanies" and kept Cain around longer. Think about it: we'd have gotten a weak Baltar admin rising during an on-going Cain/Adama military power struggle. Instead we got "Black Market" and "Sacrifice". For me. the show is still great but it really ended after Cain's death. Doesn't she remind you of Star Wars' Adm. Daala?

Inter arma enim silent leges,

ATMD

[DeathOnSernpidal]

What was that, with Imperial March? But I liked it! Cain reminds me of Admiral Daala, too. But she was much better.

[dsfgdsfg324]

This is her best role in a tv-show. Didn't like her so much in Prison Break.

I kinda admired her in season 2.

[firefly241]

I miss her, she is not a wuss like Adama can be sometimes.

[arleen3]

She's coming back in the Razor episodes soon in November

[firefly241]

I certanly plan to watch it. She was a great leader and I have always loved strong women.

[satxboi30]

What a cold bitch...I loved her. =(

[ScoutGreen11]

Admiral Cain reminds me a lot of Admiral Daala from the Star Wars expanded universe, except she was written to be half way capable.

[drovic]

Michelle Forbes is mesmerising as Cain

[madnessofmike1984]

Awesome character, awesome acting, awesome show, awesome vid... did I mention I like this vid - a lot?

[Dngrspot]

Thank you.

[usmc1944]

nice!!

[PinkChampagneOnIce]

Wasn't really a big fan of Cain, but no one could've played her better. Michelle Forbes is awesome.

[majesticdomain]

I loved michelle forbes as caine, awesome character

[Sarnaslordofdragons]

What a bitch.
