I had to immediately continue when this show hit me with the "To Be Continued..." 🤣 So here I am, straight out of Episode 4's emotional act of contrition. Seeing the fallout of Starbuck's confession about Zak, and how deeply it shook both Adama and Lee, showed so many true raw emotional colors from all of these characters. Adama's line, "I'm not losing another one" got me. He's not just a commander here, he's a father still trying to make peace with grief and losing every day. I'm so into this show now after these back-to-back episodes. This show is punching me right in the heart, but I kind of love it 😂🥹 See you in the next one!Thank you for your support on Patreon!Relax and enjoy 🍿🌿LINK: https://youtu.be/w5w1lTJxqZcI watched this on Amazon Prime

Mission accomplished folks she loves Battlestar Galactica and she is officially hooked!!! Let’s goooooo! My favorite thing to do… Trivia time! So idk if you noticed but Kara asks the Cylon Raider “Are you Alive” which was the same thing Number Six said at the start of the miniseries to that officer on the armistice station They did another callback to the OG show where once Kara fixes the Cylon Raider and is coming back to Galactica she uses a maneuver called waggling wings once the colonials know it’s her.

This show is definitely right up your alley. 49K now, slow torture lol.

Love that we are doing 2 episodes a week!

two great episodes. Starbuck is one of my favorit characters.. there are a few that gets up to her level later in the show. and Adama is always great

This episode felt so authentic. Apollo & Adama making and keeping the search & rescue personal. Colonel Tigh and President Roslin keeping perspective. And Starbuck showing how much of a virtuoso pilot she is. Utterly wild how the cylon raiders aren't just robots, they're essentially cyborgs. Fun fact: Hot Dog is played by Bodie Olmos - real life son of Edward James Olmos.

To me the realism of Commander Adama's reaction to Starbuck saying she is responsible basically for Zach's death is done very well. It's a gut response that you have to absorb before you can possibly even begin to make peace with even if you love the person telling you that. He showed great restraint in just telling her to leave and not tearing into her. Then, I'm sure the guilt of that being their last interaction was driving his motivation to find her. In the end, my personal opinion is that although I'm sure he still hurts over the death of his son, that he will work on forgiving her because she means so much to him as well and that she meant so much to Zach too. BTW, Katee Sackhoff (Starbuck) has a podcast, not that I'm advising you to listen to it because I know she talks to old cast mates and it might accidentally spoil things. Her and Tricia Helfer that plays 6 (the blonde cylon that appears in Baltar's head) are friends to this day. Katee has appeared as herself in The Big Bang Theory in at least one episode as herself and in her BSG flight suit. It was a very funny cameo. Someday, a long time down the road as you continue Star Wars, you might just see her again. If an actor's bio is a spoiler than hopefully you will forgive me. I won't say who she plays at least but trust me, you are a long way away from running into her. Oh, I think I said this before but Starbuck is my favorite character in this series hands down.

I really love this episode! And the spontaneous extra episode this week worked out so well, so thank you for the bonus content! This one was so interesting for putting logic against heart. Both arguments are totally valid and ones I can get behind. But Adama's pure determination just won me over, and makes me love his character that much more. You can really feel how important family is for him, both in the things he said, and all the silent moments. Which also makes Zac's death all the more difficult to accept for someone like him. And Starbuck is of course amazing in this episode. You just can't not smile seeing the way she flies the Cylon ship and Lee's reaction to seeing her writing on the underside haha Also, random side note, despite Tigh being an absolute rat sometimes, I still really love his character LOL. I think part of that is just always looking at him and seeing grumpy Commander Bailey sitting behind his desk on the Citadel hahaha

Danny

sorry if this has already been discussed and i missed it, but the guy who plays Colonel Tigh does the voice of Captain Bailey in Mass Effect and it's all I can think of whne he speaks >,<

kaliwali

Yes!! I can hear it every time lol

kaliwali

Yes! This one got me with the "to be continued" lol

kaliwali

She is quickly become a favorite of mine as well! These two episodes felt so real and authentic for all of the characters.. So well done! I loved them!

kaliwali

I can definitely see why Starbuck is a favorite!! She is very quickly becoming mine as well and these back to back episodes are the reason why. It made all of the characters feel so much more real and authentic. This show is incredible!

I love this episode. This was one of those times where it didn’t feel like I was watching a TV show and I felt the elation of finding Starbucks with the rest of the crew. The acting both in their struggle and their joy felt so real. Also, the inside of that ship was gross. But since the Cylons are organic robots, the ships are basically flying Cylons.

Nihildum

Full respect for not watching the frakking spoiler reel at the beginning of every episode. I did the same on first watch.

Dude Longcouch

Wow, that was a crazy episode. I love the "stranded in space" thing, and it was very interesting to see an actual Cylon confrontation, and also learn just a little bit more about their tech and methodology. And then what a triumphant moment when Apollo finally saw the Star Buck writing on the ship. And then the incredible moment between Starbuck and Commander Adama. Just really good stuff.

Robin Holmes

What I love about this episode is it tells you basic human thought processes. Rosalyn wants to move on Adama to endure Lee wants to win Baltar wants to survive Starbuck wants to die And Hot Dog is just awesome. I lost my father as an infant, and my stepfather thirty years later. The "If it were you we'd never leave" hits so heavily. By the way, there's a boardgame (6-8 players) of this and is insanely fun to play. Because at most one of you is a Cylon, but it could be up to 2 later, and you don't know. But the goal of the game is not to win. The goal of the game is to survive. Poignant for capturing the show. Takes about 6-7 hours, but fun.

When Tigh is sober, he's very level-headed and competent. He may be an asshole but he's good at his job. Again, when he is sober.

Squeesher

Extremely good reaction. You hit all the major tearing-up points, at least you hit the same ones I do 🥲
