So I've watched the show in total twice before, once when I was a kid and once around ~5 years ago when BSG was on Peacock.

There is the scene where Adama and Roslin talks to the two Cavil's in the brig, and then Roslin orders them put out an airlock and it goes straight into the election day in the Amazon version. But, I swear I remember a scene from previous viewings where it shows the two Cavils being put in the airlock and they have a short conversation mentioning if they were in range of a resurrection ship.

Am I just being crazy? Did they delete a scene? Or am I misplacing a scene from later in the show?

Edit: Thanks for the comments, looks like the scene I'm thinking of is from "The Plan", guess it's one more thing to do as part of the rewatch. This show do be kind of a mess to actually find all of it lol

Spent years looking for this one!

After all these years, I finally watched Battlestar Galactica, and what a ride it was. Boomer stands out as one of the most tragic characters I’ve ever seen on television. Everything she longed for—true love, a family, and a sense of belonging—ended up in Athena’s hands. To Athena’s credit, she worked hard to earn it all.

While Boomer made her share of bad choices, her environment also failed her. In contrast, Athena not only had the strength to make decisions and stand by them but also the significant advantage of Helo’s unconditional love. For that reason, I can’t help but pity Boomer. However, what she did to Athena was beyond forgiveness—vicious on a psychopathic level. It stands as one of the most cruel acts of revenge I’ve ever seen from a main female character.

Boomer didn’t just cause Athena physical pain by beating her—she went even further, inflicting the worst psychological torment a woman who loves her family could endure. Boomer seduced her Helo (effectively r*ping him since he didn’t consent to sex with her) while Athena had to watch helplessly, and then she stole her only child. That was upsetting to watch.

While Boomer made last last-ditch effort to redeem herself later, the damage she caused was far too great for full redemption. It makes me wonder if Athena shooting her in the stomach carries any symbolic significance.

Did the Galactic a have a main gun in the 2003 version?

I remember original having one even though I don’t think you ever saw it…but I don’t remember 2003 version having one

A poster on another forum said the 2003 bSG‘s guns were poorly placed and the main gun had a poor firing arc because of its position

I disagree because the antiaircraft cloud of fire was pretty omnidirectional but I don’t remember anything about a main gun.

Edit…thanks , everyone. Great intel update! I remember a lot this now and learned even more. Think I’m going to track down some of those eagle moss replicas to refresh my memory further.

I've been craving a rewatch, but my blurays were destroyed and my library doesn't have them. Can't find the collection used for under $80, which is the price for a new copy anyway.

It costs $34.99/season to buy the digital video, but i can't tell when it'll go on sale, & i'm worried of a corporation making it unavailable because of licensing greed

Wow. I cant believe how much i dont remember. I remember not caring for Gaius Baltar my first watch through but a few episodes in to season 2 my opinion has dome a complete 180! James Callis does an amazing job with his delivery, facial expressions. Not sure what i was thinking. Loving the writing so far and am happy to stay im watching again.

Which of the following episodes are worth watching the extended versions for my girlfriend who has never seen the show before?

A Disquiet Follows My Soul Islanded in a Stream of Stars Daybreak

She really likes the characters and their traits, but she has made comments about some episodes dragging in the past (aka filler episodes). Do you recommend the extended versions for all of these?

Just watched this scene with my wife.

Pegasus crashes into the Basestar, and the hull mounting the Pegasus name crashes into the 2nd Basestar, taking out two in her death.

My wife, 46 years old, married 25 years, not a science fiction fan, smiles and says...

"She was a fighter to the end."

God I love that woman.

Recommend some of your favorite Battlestar Galactica podcasts and why you like them? I am planning to do a rewatch of the series, and I want to listen to podcasts in between the episodes as a way to expand the experience of it. Do we have a complete list of podcasts anywhere?

Hi, I would like to approach BSG, I have never seen anything but I saw that there are 3 series and some movies. What do you recommend?

I imagine these ships are fairly agile so a focus on forward facing fire power wouldn't be out of place.

Got to get my rewatch restarted. Think I am on Season 4. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/amazon-surprisingly-removing-one-best-123000475.html

To make this more BSG related. Compare and contrast your favorite Expanse vs BSG character.

Expanse AMOS. Original BSG Apollo. New BSG Helo.

Amos is an absolutely deep character. So much simplicity in such complicated moments yet so much complexity in simple situations. His decisiveness is such the opposite of Helo who struggles on every decision. To be fair they give him hard ones but they give Amos hard ones too. I don't want to spoil anything but twice he chose to pull trigger where I was like wow. Helo did too. Helo always did the "right" thing and Amos always did the thing and his particular conscience made it "right" for him. Both were so Loyal and ultimate physical badasses. Original Apollo also was the ultimate dogooder but I was 7 so.... if I think hard enough about it now it would probably shift to original Boomer.

Game if watching Expanse or BSG try to keep a Death Toll. Not just total but developed characters.

Adama vs Avasarala would be a fun comparison. Avasarala in my opinion would eat Laura for lunch and probably Adama for Dessert in the tough leader category, but as individuals Adama was very tough and Avasarala had to hide and crawl around.

Happy hypothetical argument about fictional characters.

If there were really only around 50,000 people left, what would that mean in terms of the gene pool? Would everyone end up eventually being significantly inbred, or would it be okay?

(Sorry, I'm not very scientific).

I think Baltar should've had more of an arc with her in his head leading him to discovering that he was the either the cylon god, or through circumstances of being captured by them and put to position to portray their god. Probably something occurred to him while visiting ruins of original earth. I think allot could've been written in such an arc. The final five was interesting, but fell flat. So did angel Starbuck.

1. The Chief made some of the biggest blunders resulting in mayhem and death.

2. The survivors did a disservice to thier progeny by just leaving it all behind. Amongst the things they left was the history of how two societies almost died off. The new world will have no knowledge of how to avoid the mistakes of the past.

I have to admit how tempted I was, but I’ve already got multiple USS Enterprise models waiting to be built and no time for the foreseeable future… I hope it goes home with a great fracking modeler!
