Just for those in the UK as far as I know but BSG is on ITV X app. Loved finding again as I can now watch on the phone while on break at work

Not sure when, but I think it just came to Peacock, and was browsing tonight and all of Caprica is on Peacock. I had to watch it on Daily Motion a month or so back, where the picture quality sucked and part of the picture was usually cut off, so for anyone that hasn’t watched the prequel, just wanted to share this with you.

When I first watched BSG a few years ago I watched on Amazon which has the miniseries and main series as separate things. So when I first watched I didn’t even see the miniseries and just started with the first episode despite not watching the miniseries I love my first viewing and have since watched the 3 around 3 times. Wondering if anyone else watched BSG like this

Hey all,

I am writing an article listing the Star Trek counterparts to Battlestar Galactica characters, and I'm very stuck on who should be the final character on the list. These are the comparisons I have thus far (please correct if something is just wildly off the mark; I'm more of a Star Trek fan, so I figured I would ask the experts):

Commander Adama, Captain Jean Luc Picard (honorable at his core but sometimes misguided/too hardline or makes decisions that are questionable, cares deeply about his crew, stoic but not unreachable)

Kara ‘Starbuck’ Thrace, Kira Nerys (badass but brash, strong female lead, is attempting to save her people - what else?)

Caprica Six (Tricia Helfer), Seven of Nine (complicated dynamic with humanity, ridiculous amounts of sex appeal, vaguely terrifying)

Gaius Baltar, Dr. Julian Bashir (physical appearance aside, both are womanizers, both scientists, I think Baltar eventually pulls through as a good character maaaaybe? unsure about this one)

Sherman Cottle, Dr. Leonard McCoy (grumpy medical officer, Erica Mongé-Greer describes him as "experienced, a gruff exterior, kind-hearted, and very knowledgeable.")

Captain Lee Adama, Captain James T. Kirk (brash and sometimes immature, but ultimately a good leader; does the right thing but not always the smart thing)

Galen Tyrol, Montgomery Scott ("everyman" trope, gets the job done, advocates for workers, works well under pressure)

President Laura Roslin, Captain Kathryn Janeway (diplomatic, strong female lead, sometimes has to make hard choices to guide people to safety)

Tom Zarek, Garak (helpful but don't ask too many questions about how he got the job done, it was probably illegal, diplomatic relations, strong potential to betray you - what else?)

Would love a Wesley Crusher or Mr. Spock counterpart if I can swing one. Thank you so much for any help!

I'm a big fan of the Colonial Military's sidearms. Always thought that having an underslung grenade launcher was smart because they're fighting heavily armored targets made of Nth metal. My question is what's the diameter on that launcher? They can't be shooting 40 mm grenades, hell id be shocked if they were 25 mm. Also if you put one of those on your sidearm, would you break your wrist firing the thing?

What was the reaction to the brother cavill cylon reveal? Did most people guess seen as he’s a pretty well known actor.

Found some detailed screencaps of the firefly movie and spotted a couple of familiar designs hanging around. I have more if anyone is interested. In the first image you can see the defender and the botanical ship (without the glass domes-versions of the ship without the domes also showed up in BSG). In the second image you can see the gemenon traveller emerging from the cloud with the rest of the reaver fleet. I also think I saw the five engine ship, the one that is a kitbash of the hirogen ship from star trek voyager.

Long time fan, new to the sub or any other online BSG community.

So we all agree that the Geth and the Quarians in Mass Effect come straight from the story of Battlestar Galactica, right?

Has there ever been a confirmation of this connection between the two by anyone who worked on the game?

So says Six to a mysterious stranger in the mini series. And they used that moment to excellent retcon effect in The Plan, which I love even though I know it's not that popular.

But does anyone know the original intention at the time? It feels prominent and unresolved like they had a plan (no pun intended) to do something with it and didn't.

There's a lot I have to say about this show, but I wanted to submit something specifically for this episode. These last two episodes have been incredible, and after I finished S04E11 last night - watching the despair and hopelessness spread throughout the fleet like a contagion, Dualla's humming - I was struck with some sort of inspiration and wrote some lyrics before bed that I then recorded this morning.

I've never really shared anything like this publicly before, so let me know what you think: audio recording

So pretty much in the title. I've been rewatching the show, having a great time with it. But it occurred to me: why are these people allowed to smoke all the time around really sensitive equipment that could blow up?

And just from a regulation standpoint, wouldn't smoking be against the rules on a ship like that if it's so close?

I get it's a really dumb question, and it's probably just down to the fact that the creators wanted to have characters that smoked. But I'm wondering if there was a in-universe reason that the characters were able to get away with that? And it's been itching at my brain for a while. Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Rewatching for like the 10th time and I’m still amazed at how Helo never puts up with the bullshit and always seems to be on the moral side. His character is what I want humanity to be.

More updates to follow over the week, the notifications will be worth it - we promise 🙂

I have (rhetorical) questions about the Cylon Cafe in S02E18...

• If they look down on Sharon clinging to her human life, why are they sitting in a cafe at tables with candles and drinking coffee?
• How bad would the coffee be?
• Do they serve Cylon toast?
• Would a number 5 really be the best barista?
• Do they serve Raktajino?
• What did they call it? I doubt it would be 'starbucks'...

ITVx has just started streaming all series in the UK.

Was watching another show and they referenced "ship's time". When I was in the Navy deployed the ship adjusted time as we crossed each time zone. We referenced all messages in Zulu (GMT) which you do to have "one time" and not have daylight savings become an issue.

Anyway I could see it making sense to match it to the Capital since it would be essentially random for a spaceship that covers 12 planets (colonies). Night and Day are not a thing.

Anyone catch any reference to what time zone/setting they used? We know of course they used minutes from the first episode. Did they just use Caprica (city)?

I watched the show in its original airing, and not since. I kinda remember one episode where Adama committed the fleet to a search for Lee, who was missing in action. He steadfastly refused to abandon the search even with Cylons closing in, fuel running low, etc.

Am I remembering correctly? Which episode was that? Thanks in advance.

Update: solved! See this comment.

At the end when he says he knows where earth is located, and the president asks him if he was telling the truth. It almost seems like he said it was a lie just to keep it from the president.

it would make sense that presidents wouldn’t know its location since presidents come and go rather quickly, but senior commanders of the fleet are essentially lifelong occupants of thier stations.

so when she says she discussed it with president Baldar (I think that was his name) and he didn’t know its location, I’m thinking that was the plan All along.

i think I’ve only seen the first two seasons, and I don’t mind spoilers. But was adamant lying about knowing earth’s location?

That really caught me off guard

Harbinger.

No matter the context, the conversation, or who is saying it, I think of her when I hear the word harbinger. I gasp a little every time.

I was just wondering if the recaps at the start of each episode contains scenes not technically aired previously in the show as a way of setting up back stories for the episodes or am I missing something? This is a question for the 2003 series thx

Just no!

Just saw Fandango has the whole series on sale for 20. Good time to get a digital copy. Just doesn't come with The Plan and Razer I think. Been waiting for them to be on sale forever.

As adama showed with his "Pick up this gun and shoot me" Speech, he doesn't tolerate people mouthing off, and he'd rather disown his daughter than allow it. So why allow a doctor to do it and not his best pilot or XO?

Watching “The Vow” on HBO Max right now, and I can’t get over the parallels between Keith Raniere’s group and Baltar’s sex cult in the final season. I know Grace Park was involved with the group and Nicki Clyne was DEEP into it - is it just coincidence or do you think the writers did it on purpose? The cult didn’t really do anything plotwise so it almost seems like, why else would they put it in there?

In the summer, I realized that after years of wanting a finger tattoo and already having a full sleeve, I still had nothing on my fingers. I had been considering a way to express my fandom for Battlestar Galactica. Since my tattoos mostly feature sacred geometry, I thought it would be perfect to blend my love for the show with my enthusiasm for geometric designs. I decided to get a captain's pin on my index finger. What I love about it is that it's a total 'if-you-know-you-know' tattoo; only one person at the Battlestar Galactica convention in Chicago recognized it. For those outside the BSG community, it just appears as a beautiful piece of artwork, which strikes a perfect balance for me and blends seamlessly with my other tattoos. I also know that there is some debate as to whether it is a captain or a major insignia. Regardless, I'm happy with it.
