  • best sf series ever!

  • Awesome script and soundtrack. So say we all.

  • 18 are Cylons !

  • @Viguier89 SO SAY WE ALL :)

  • Easily one of the best shows ever, not just sci-fi but of all tv shows, it had everything, politics, religion, it highlighted human frailty, aggresion and often our own stupidity. The fact that the series depicted a war between two groups who both believed in a ''supreme being'' but were locked in fighting for their own viewpoint over the details of God(s) was genius and a reflection of what's happening here right now - amazing show :)

  • hamillerMN no worries

    i foud out where

    season 2 first song

    could you please put this on your description as so many people will ask

  • HamillerMn have any idea where I can get this because I got the orginal score I can't find it

    Is it on season 1 OST ?

  • Now this is an awesome theme.

  • top vid :)

  • Without Star Wars, this whole genre wouldn't exist. it's to this show's credit that it could take the infuences of decades of SF, the zeitgeist of its socio-political context and the legacy of much-loved telly and craft something truly brilliant. So say we all.

  • @Gareth7685 Me Thinks Star Trek was first......mmm 1966

  • @Onry1 Bt star trek wasn't into war :)

  • @Gareth7685 don't forget star trek it had its few political issues on the orginal series

  • hears an idea guys, lets stop aruging about star wars and battlestar galactica and enjoy this greatly done video

  • Yeah a very cool SciFi love it =D

    Cool Vid -5Stars!!!

  • it was great sci fi, great story and characters

  • Of course... as we all know George Lucas invented space, planets, stars, spaceships, fleets, the military, and goddamn everything else, despite what all the mountains of evidence would suggest.

  • BSG doesn't look like star wars at all...different story...no princess....no talkind droids...no "the force LUke...the force"....no eworks....

  • No Jar-Jar Binks!!!

  • So say we all!!!

    Battlestar Galactica 4 EVER <3

  • So say we all

  • So much crazy talk about this amazing tv show being reimagined! I have no interest in watching a direct do-over of a previous show. Same with Superman Returns and Star Wars. Some people hated it and wanted it to be just like the older versions. Been there, done that! Time to modernize your minds people. BSG is the single greatest show ever put on television and you know it! Do fight it. And listen to all of the commentaries. They make the show even better!...

  • bsg best serie of the century waiting the season 4 ( french )

  • I agree it seem's to have started out good but went down hill fast. the series dose have it's place in T.V. just not in fashion of the original series....this series place lies in the lines of

    (Battlerstar Galactica 91210 in space)

  • How ?

  • theres more fighting and dram in the fleet then with the cylon's.

    with the human race on the edge we are still fighting with one another... its annoying and theres far less of that crap in the original series and any human opposition came from out side the fleet.

  • could you explain ?

  • Mrvelocity I just saw the old version of BSG , the old version was a propaganda tool for people who were brain damaged At least the New BSG expalin why the Cylons went on wiping out humanity

    The old version states that the Cylons wiped out humanity because they were jeaous of Colonials way of life and that they were different. A great way to explain it to a simpleton and a great way to give simpathise to warmonging right wing elemts who just want to bomb the world for no reason.

  • @whitemanstand72 If you read my comment again you would see that im annoyed with the endless drama and fighting within the fleet. When they are the last of the human race. As far as plot and story go i do think they where much more in depth but the constant drama/ fighting with one another was just to annoying to watch.

  • @mrvelocity That´s the point. Imagine you are part of the last stand of humankind. But forced to fight a war there is no way to win. You must run. Endure a flight surrounded by an eternal nothing. Nothing to see. Nothing to do but run and wait for the end to come. Nothing is what you have left, all having been taken by Cylon agents. Even hope after New Caprica.

    Everything taken. That´s what the 2003 Galactica series is about. What will you do when you lose everything you have?

  • @stelacero yes have stupid disagreements within the fleet and fight over it is totally what i would be doing. Not killing as many cylon ass holes as posible. Sure i can see people bickering and having there little fights but the military and civilian government getting pissy with one another is a grate way to get killed. At the rate they where going im shocked the hole fleet wasn't taken out wile they were having there little coup.

  • because the 1978 was crapp

    and was a ripp-off from star wars

    Glenn needed a star wars sucsess in his portfolio

  • beside the new BSG suppass every star wars film put to date.

    Its interlectual storyline matches that of Blade Runner when talking about the relationship between Man and Machine And the space battle is far more intense than the Battle of Endor and realistic

    (credit goes to ID4 great computer game)

  • I lived thru the 70 mate !!!!!!!

  • private bsg had mostly action eps

    and atleast people died and had the risk of dyeing where as star wars none of the gd guys die unless they want to and even then they can come back to say hi

    star wars is for people who like to feel gd about themselves battlestar is a program which makes u feel and has dark sides to it

  • You probably weren't there in 1978. But, you're right, a lot of it was crap. The stories sucked. We knew it was lifted from Star Wars, but that was the idea. People wanted more Star Wars. That's why many paid to see it many many times in theaters. There was no VHS or DVD we could buy. There was HBO, but SW didn't come to pay TV until the early 80s. BSG tried to fill the appetite for Star Wars type action. It was done hastily. But for the time, it was hi-tech, which was unheard of on TV in 78.

  • star wars is a complete rip-off of Starblazers (Space Cruiser Yamato)....

    ..ie Luke Skywalker.....Derek Wildstar

    Darth Vader.....Leader Deslock

    Princess Leia....Starsha.....

    etc. etc....

  • your point ?

    still doesn't change the facts that Glen ripped of Star Wars

    THank you for high lighting something I knew !

  • I was obsessed with the series, the only thing that sucked about the first season is that they had to reuse footage

  • Out all combat scenes from the series...Resurrection Ship was the best. 2 Battlestars taking on Basestars, the view from Lee's position seeing the fight as well...awesome.

    Very good series :D

  • I read it somewhere that the creator of Homeworld based the game on Battlestar and another show which I can't remember.

  • Altough the Music Score was based on the orginal series

    was this music ever played in the new series

    Very melody and fresh

    Best video ever !

  • It was

  • The best sci-fi series ever!

  • Like this theme better than the one for the remade show. It's uplifting yet still gets across the direness of the situation the colonials are in.

  • That was great thanks for posting it ! Will there be more ?

  • This theme is embedded in the BSG matrix of its mythos. It couldn't be surgically removed ! The re - imagined series opening score is great, but THIS is - Well, I already said it !!

  • love the awesome definition... I dint even play or C battlestar... very realistic.

  • woot!

  • this tune i will carry to my grave... i love u...

  • Amazing! Back to the Original theme!!!

  • i love this video itos cute and sweet

  • I love it.

  • good job and coool

  • I might be 45 years old but I really like battle star galactia!

  • Comment removed

  • I think style4all is saying that they are 45 years old...

  • Whoops.

  • Plus its Battlestar Galactica

  • god I love all the flak battery fire at 1;34; looks so realistic

  • the old school song is the shiznit

  • i cant wait for the remainder of the season

  • It's from the new show, sjl62.

  • Where does this recording come from? Is the new show using the old theme now?

  • The new show incorporates the theme from the old one as the Colonial Anthem. Nice touch, I think.

  • Excellent video

  • cool

  • niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  • i lvoe this video it so cool

  • damn good video

  • This is a great video. Great music, great editing. A very nice job and I play it a lot. Just a comment about the new show: It's a good concept to have unknown Cylons among the survivors and it has given us some gripping episodes. The only downside is when they run a string of courtroom battles on board ship. That's when my eyes glaze over and they lose me.

  • Einfach geil!

  • still the best video.

  • great great movie

  • Good Music. Bringing back the original (which was wack, but still nostalgic)

  • thee best. cant wait for the second half of the last season

  • Best tv- shov ever made! great music!

  • Actually the London Symphony orchestra performed the Star Wars soundtracks under the direction of John Williams.

  • And you are correct about Stu compising this. I got this mixied up because williams performed this when he lead the BSO. Anyway, still a great theme. And thanks for the correction.

  • Took the song a while to get going, but it was pretty cool overall. A nice remix for the new series.

  • Truly majestic, what more can I say...

  • So Say We All. So Say We All! So Say We All!!! This is a great rendition of the iconic Battlestar Galactica theme - also known as the Colonial Anthem. I was thrilled the first time I heard this version, and I know I want it played either at my wedding/joining and my funeral.

  • The Great Battlestar Galactica and Peagasus at their finest moments, this has got to be the best anthem for the new generation of Galactica... Love it.

  • That was the best music video I have ever seen!

  • This is from the original soundtrack from the 1978 album. John Williams did the score...

  • Stu Phillips did the original.

  • Not to bust your bubble there Guian, Stu Phillips composed the music for the entire original series and he also directed the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, which also performed the music for Star Wars under the direction of John Williams. Simple mistake. And battousi, you finally got something right, though partially.

  • i dont know where i was for the past few years, however i started watching the series..its :

    AWSOME

    watched the hole 1st series in 24 hours

  • not Hole WHOLE :) dah

  • any1 know where I can find the song they play at the beginning of each episode? it's in none of the vids I've seen so far.... if anyone does know, please let me know. thanx. ^_^

  • very nice ,very beautiful

  • those the galactica has shields?. because in every battle that it goes on it takes damage, but doesn't loose a part of or like a room in the ship like in the original one.

  • No, no shields. Colonial Battlestars just have exceptional armor compared to the Cylons. It was the same way in the original series.

  • so they just have extra armor like those japanese carriers in world war 2.

  • No, more along the lines of the ablative armor on the USS Defiant from Deep Space Nine, or reactive armor on the M1 Abrams.

  • battousai, the M1 Abrams does not have reactive armor. The armor of an Abrams is known as Chobham. Now there is the Tank Urban Survival Kit, TUSK, that can be added to the Abrams.

  • No it is reactive in that it will explode outwardly via shaped charge to prevent damage to the tank.

  • battousai, I understand entirely what reactive armor is and what it does and how it does it. Apparently you never looked up the acronym TUSK or even to read from the variety of sources posted on the internet about the Abrams. Now I did not have to read up on the Abrams, I have actually sat inside a M1A2 thank you. Take a view of my profile. This page is supposed to be about the Bucket and the Beast. Closest thing in regards to them would be battleships and carriers.

  • I have been working on the Abrams for years. We have the Abrams in Europe. I gained a lot of first hand knowledge that way.

  • So your saying you are Third Shop or Depot? Cause if you are, someone should tell the 19K's not to ride in anything you have touched.

  • just see the hull in the space shots, its full of damage O.O

  • its part armor and missile deffense thats y it looks like the missiles are exploding before they make contact

  • one of the best videos on youtube hands down

  • very cool vid !!! *****

  • Very nice video *****

  • Nicely connects the old with the new.

  • nice video

  • I have thi song, Its in the BSG sound track i bought. Thanks for the Video! Watching this song as a video sheds new light!

  • to all who asked about the music...

    if u'v got limewire or frostwire, just type in CCR-Colonial Anthem or Bear McCreary

  • WOOOW! this WAS SUPERB!

    This is the best scifi show ever.

  • 5 stars

    Thats a great video for a quiet better music!

    Thanks

    But where did you get the slow version of the original soundtrack from?

  • Great Music.The old Theme was good too

  • good 1

  • Great vid, dude! Where'd you find the music at? I've never heard the original theme done like this before?

  • i love t his vidoeti so cool

  • Sucks that they changed the classic theme to the shit they're using on every space epic now...

  • I think the new series has a pretty deep soundtrack. The original theme worked well with the classic's premise, but the reimagined series doesn't match well to the relatively upbeat music in my eyes.

  • I think this would've done well as the opening theme for the new show.

  • the same with me. it would better.

  • awesome mix job on this one. one of the few best vids for BSG i've seen yet. the music track rocks.

  • just occured to me that probably the closest thing in history in real life to the galactica and its immigrant fleet trying to run and survive from their enemies that are trying to wipe them out is the history of the Jewish people if they had space ships too Im sure wed enjoy watching a tv show of them hehe nice video hammillermn pure class.

  • What?

  • The history of the Jewish people to my understanding theyve been driven from where ever theyve been many times and had to survive isn't it basically the same thing on galactica ? that whole survival spirit thing wasn't insulting the Jewish culture or anything i find theirs an admirable history and i like galactica for that same reason great survivors

  • The only difference is that Galactica hands out hot dickings to the Cylons.

  • lol yeah they do indeed if they didn't don't think id watch much my only issue with this show is i could do with a bit more fighting especially ground based and a bit less social fights amongst everyone considering their crisis i think some of them have sooks a bit too much lol.

  • lol, true enough. It makes sense that there isn't much ground combat though.

  • the mighty galactica

    cant wait for the rts to come out heard they gonna bring it out after the last season so u can play the earth guys

  • First class well odne

  • Pegasus and Galactica kick the Cylon's ass.

    Galactica more than Pegasus But what the hell at least the cylons got the shit kicked out of them....

  • wow!

  • fraking tinheads and skin jobs that what we are fighting boys and girls we are talking about survival its them or us.

  • WOOOT KILL THOSES CYLON FUCK NUTS

  • they should use this as the song for the starting credits for the last season.

  • I was just about to post such a comment. I agree.

  • That Bear McCreary arrangement of the original show's theme music is so cool!

  • 1:56 to 2:17 is the most beautiful thing i have seen and heard

  • Sweet ass vid.  I do love a frakking viper!

  • I LOVE THIS VIDEO IT ROCK LOVE IT

  • The New Version of the Battlestar is Awesome, i love it!

  • cylon clone that are no yet put to work

  • YEAH, THEY CYLONS

  • great vid

  • At 2:03, are those people that they are shooting at? The red things coming out of that ship when they blast the glass?

    I dont watch BSG so I dont know.

  • Mostly 'unoccupied' cylon clone bodies waiting for a 'killed' cylon to be downloaded into them.

  • I think they're empty human-shaped cylon shells, like a production line, waiting for a skin-job to die so he/she can be downloaded into it.

  • Thats pretty cool.

  • yeah that's right they're spars their also in stasis so they don't go off or something but their also vegterbles it also has spairs raider body's too

  • it's the "Colonial Anthem" but the slowed version

  • This is a pretty great video.

  • What episode is the footage from 3:00 from? Not seen that here in the UK. Thanks.

  • not sure but i think its "Exordos part 2"

  • long live galactica... great song... i just love it :)

  • tthis vid goes along very wellwith the 300 theme

  • the song is just like you imagined by nine inch nails

  • So far. Season one: Great Season two: Great Season three: Trippy but still pretty damn good. And I'm readily awaiting season 4.

  • Great!

  • We in Europe have a diffrent version i think!!

  • Very nice.

  • kind of brings a tear to my eyes, the music is kinda sad i like the music played in the mini series when the galactica was being decomisiiooned and the vipers flew past

  • That's the "Colonial Anthem" It's the theme music from the original series, and is one of the most beloved scifi themes out there.

  • very nice

  • sehr gute fan-made... :D

  • Well done! I enjoyed it! Nice choice for the song too! 5 Stars and fav'd!

  • one of the best vids for bsg i seen so far keep up the good word

  • Very cool, i like the new bsg theme better than the origional even though it still rocks. But this theme gives a more epic tone to the best show on tv.

  • oh shut up, Menelaus27Million, just cuz someone was giving cunstructive critisism (which I share) doesn't mean you can insult them. I thought the music matched up untill the fighting... it seemed a little odd then

  • Gute Arbeit! Tolle Musik!

  • i dont know but the camera is so shit. not? i mean, always moving/shaking around and zooming and all that. never still.

  • I think it's supposed to simulate a Journalistic or human view.

  • I like the camera

  • Battle Hymn of the Colonies nice.

    Iadonite - come back when you have developed any kind of brain.

  • nice vid.

  • THAT is the theme the new series should use, not that garbled noise junk they use now. Awesome video/music!

  • Editing wasn't the greatest use of the clips. Transitions would have been useuful for the first section of the music up until the main theme breaks out, where fast cuts, explosions, and patriotic looking footage would have made it much more moving.

    Right now it's just music with video put next to it, without any connection or timing between them.

  • I disagree, I like it how it is.

  • best galactica video I've seen on youtube and it shows there is a place for the original theme, thanks or posting the vid, one request is there any chance you could do the vid using the original version of the battlestar galactica theme? Fantastic effort.

  • cool
