Daniel was not Kara's dad. The show never even hinted at that. Kara's dad was Dreilide Thrace. You weren't the only ones that got confused by this though. The show runners later confirmed that's just a wild fan theory. So bottom line Kara is not in any part a cylon. Just an Angel of some sort. The show has had religious undertones since the very beginning.

#sundayrundown Admiral Hoshi has been around for a while. He was Gaeta's ex. Gaeta dumped him before the insurrection. Lee's actor stopped dying his hair black halfway thru the series. Can u guess when? I know the showrunner solely wanted to focus on the Caprica prequel hense trashing the ships but Lee saying "let's get rid of the bad parts of our history & send out people w no survival skills into the wilderness!" Is..well, peak Lee Adama optimistic stupidity. 😆 "Earth, we've earned it." Ties back to the question Adama asked in the mini series "does humanity deserve to live?" And Athena later telling Adama that the cylons hate humans bc "maybe you dont [deserve to survive]." Laura chosing to move forward after her family's death via being a public servant led her to the presidency but opening her heart "love someone Laura" is what truly centered her. I'm not sure if her biblical role of leader was to actually lead them to their new home or to guide them into finding it. To be the heart of humanity, to keep them alive when all their hope was gone. To make an alliance with those who destroyed their home. To literally "forgive thy enemy." To be the one to fortify Adama so he would take the leap to save Hera solely bc it was the right thing to do. And humanity "earning" their planet sized cookie solely thru that selfless act. Boomer took accountability for the first time ever. You reacted to Lee&Kara's flashback behaviors exactly the way I thought you would 🤣🤣 The Daniel thing is a result of a plot hole and online fan groups. Yall need to look up the Cult of Daniel.

Still in the mood for more sci-fi created by Ronald Moore, who was the showrunner for *Battlestar Galactica*? I also recommend *For All Mankind* on Apple TV+. In an alternate timeline in 1969, Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov becomes the first human to land on the Moon. This outcome devastates morale at NASA but also catalyzes a U.S. effort to catch up. With the Soviet Union emphasizing equality by including a woman in subsequent landings, the United States is forced to match pace, equally training women and ethnic minorities (who were largely excluded from the initial decades of U.S. space exploration). Pushed by higher competition, the Soviet and other blocs favor more competent leaders, modernizing earlier and on more rational ground. With sustained investments in technology, a broad, sustained, and global technological race takes place, with a wide range of dramatic civilian effects, such as early civil rights, electric vehicles, civilian fusion power, controlled CO2 production, and no climate crisis. Each subsequent season takes place about a decade later, with season two taking place in the 1980s, season three taking place in the 1990s, season four taking place in the 2000s, and season five taking place in the 2010s. Ronald D. Moore explained how historical reality had been different from the series: "Sergei Korolev was the father of the Soviet space program; in our reality, he died during an operation in Moscow (in 1966) ... And after that point, their Moon program really never pulled together.... Our point of divergence was that Korolev lives, ... and he made their Moon landing happen."[7]

15:48 Okay I've changed my mind. Fringe needs to lose the "all boys on the couch" poll, because Rana *needs* to be on the couch to watch that show. She has said they're not allowed to watch sci-fi without her, and I'm starting to agree. Also I can't wait to see what wild theories she has about Fringe, as that shit's crazy, too.(Fringe and BSG are 2 of my 3 favorite sci-fi shows of the 21st century.)

Drueisms

(The 3rd is The Expanse, the first three seasons are a gold standard.) Love you guys, you're the best. So say we all.

Paradoxhamartia

Funnily enough, I had the very same reaction. I was hoping extra hard for a Fringe win, but lost all interest as soon as they announced it was going to be a guys' exclusive. Love the boys, but Fringe deserves to have a bigger couch (the same one as BSG would be good).

https://en.battlestarwikiclone.org/wiki/Number_Seven Cult of Daniel After the episode "No Exit" aired, many fans on the official Sci-Fi Channel forum were convinced that Daniel was responsible for many of the mysteries in the show, was Kara Thrace's father, was responsible for the "head" visions of Baltar and Caprica Six, etc. This phenomenon, called the "Cult of Daniel" by Ronald D. Moore, was unintended, and Moore took the unusual step of unequivocally stating in the subsequent podcast for "Islanded in a Stream of Stars" that Daniel was not Starbuck's father and would not play a larger part in the series. Although he usually did not rule out any fan theories or explanations, he felt "the Daniel theory" had taken a life of its own and would lead many of its proponents to disappointment in the finale. He also apologized if people felt the writers were leading them to incorrect conclusions. The only purpose of Daniel was to explain the gap in the Cylon model numbers and serve as a "Cain and Abel" backstory with Daniel as Abel and Cavil as Cain. Also, here's an explanation from Ron Moore on what Kara is (just realized they watched it at the end): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4Q0T9QLqT4

For those who think it surprising that everyone agreed to stay on the planet - remember Galactica is basically broken. The people in the fleet no longer have Galactica. They basically have no choice unless they want to continue to travel aimlessly through space with no protection.

Louis Marti

Daniel was not Kara's father lmao. Media literacy is dead

Jason Noto

Thank you guys for a wonderful journey. My thursdays are going to feel so empty now.

AJ

Please check out For All Mankind. Its from the same creator as BSG and its 5th season is about to start. If you like shows like this and The Expanse, you will love this show.

V

Interesting. It looks like they cut in some more modern robots for the montage at the end. The uncut reaction shows all the robots from when it was filmed, but the youtube reaction shows more modern ones doing jumping jacks. Maybe they updated the Amazon series? Edit: Oh never mind, the editor probably took Micky's advice and replaced them with more modern models.

One thing that has always bothered me about the ending is: Battlestar Galactica is a majority white show, with ethnic people sprinkled here and there. Having them show up in our past on Earth and "intermingle with the natives" makes me kind of uncomfortable. I feel like if the show was made today it would have been actually diverse, instead of "2000s diverse", which meant: Majority white, with a few ethnic people here and there. That would have made the ending work more for me.

#sundayrundown #coffee! #bsg 11.32 Rana lol 17.14 Sam - Been waiting for that all season 25.05 Navi predicted this earlier in the season something along the lines of “why don’t they all get together and hold hands”

38:23 "She was an Angel the entire time. Now her time was done here." YES Rana YES. Lol correct. Glad to see my faith in this becoming clear to you guys by the end wasn't misplaced 🥹 EDIT: 43:02 So close Rana.🤏 Apparently I am a fool 😭 Daniel theory became true headcanon in the end.

Kamina 1

Thank you Normies for the amazing reactions. And most of all, thank YOU Micky for pushing for the team to react to this legendary series. I still remember you mentioning BSG during The Expanse reactions. You're a goat for this, and are 100% forgiven for dropping the remote during the Deku vs Todoroki fight ❤️😝

Mark Blackburn

Can we get a shout out for Bear's epic score for the 3 part finale?

Meh

Excuse me sir. Do you have a moment to disuss our lord and savior that left us behind, Rana Mohammed?

Calvin Allen

Kara has nothing to do with Daniel!!!

V

43:20 Is Marketa disappointed in the ending? The head roll, tissue slam, crossed arms... lol.

Gaius Frakking Baltar

I know a lot of people are dissatisfied with Ronald D. Moore making Starbuck's nature a mystery, but in addition to BSG the dude gave us some of the best-written episodes of Star Trek TNG and Star Trek DS9 (as well as two Star Trek theatrical movies), so I'm willing to cut him some slack.

V

lol just noticed something else. In the scene where they take off their helmets inside the colony, they show all the other guys actually taking off their helmets and then cut to Lee who already has his helmet off and his hair perfectly styled and touched up by hair and makeup. I'm beginning to think the only reason they had them take off the helmets was so they could show off Lee's hair. Also, I wonder how they got Hera back into Galactica. Did they have a special kid sized space suit?

What are journey. This was very fun to rewatch. But god did Tyrol get a raw deal in this show. Some people didn't like the higher power/god part of the ending. But this was hinted throughout the show, there were visions, prophesies, and the imaginary number 6 Gaius was seeing literally said she was an angel of the god in season 2. So the supernatural stuff was always there. What I didn't like was the whole let's live without technology as cavemen hunter gatherers. These people argued over everything. They wouldn't have agreed to this. 150,000 years is so far in the past that it will be 130,000 years before humans invents farming. Seriously farming is only 20,000 years old. Without antibiotics most of those people will be dead in ten years from ear or eye infections or just from basic injury. There's a fan theory that a bunch of people kept their knowledge and some technology and founded Atlantis. So yeah, I like the ancient aliens/ancient humans fan theory ending.

BT

26:12 Cavil self-delete always gets me to LOL hard. Bro knew it was over, dropped the F bomb, and that was it. lol. It was so unexpected lol. Mickey knew what was up. In the original script, Saul was supposed to kill him for all the horrible things he did to him back in New Caprica.

Jay B

I SWEAR SURAJ WATCHES EVERYTHING HE CAN AHEAD OF TIME AND RUINS REACTIONS CAUSE GOD HATES ME AND NOT CAUSE HE IS A CUNT

Artemis

Yes certain scenes like Kara and Lee screwing on the table, were 'deleted scenes' and not included in the regular broadcast. Fans have argued that the finale's ending with these extended scenes, undercut some of the emotional pacing of the ending.

Artemis

This is why its not generally a good idea to let the actor make the decision, they are not writers. Although if it went this route, there would need to be more build-up towards that conclulsion, like the TORI plot line.

Artemis

When adama wanted to destroy BSG and leave all the science and tech behind, its often a controversial moment for alot of fans and I really don't understand why. Up until that moment, humanity had never been grounded; they were completely untethered, surviving entirely within cold, mechanical hulls. By nature, human beings are meant to be connected to the earth. When we rely too heavily on technology, we experience a massive disconnect from reality and ourselves. Not unlike the modern "cognitive overload" and digital burnout people face today from being glued to screens sixteen hours a day. What Ronald D. Moore was trying to capture was the sheer, overwhelming force of nature and its magnetic pull on the human spirit. Landing on Earth was a massive sensory shock for everyone. The crew experienced an organic, grounding energy unlike anything they had ever encountered in the cold vacuum of space. Literally and figuratively "touching grass" for the first time, their natural, instinctual move wasn't to rebuild their old technology which is what landed them in an endless cycle of war in the first place (All of this has happened before, but will it happen again?). Although that was the plan, but 150,000 years later, humanity's desire for more knowledge and advancements in science would spring up again and it would become our undoing. A prospective future that we will one day face. This whole message is probably the most profound part of this entire story honestly.
