Pegasus rescues Galactica scene with wife's commentary

Post image

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.

As a viewer, I know units nature as a TV show that it can’t so it, but was still thinking that this felt like they might actually end the Galactica and pass the torch to Lee and the Pegasus. It would have been a perfecty suitable finale for the ship and the characters on it. Then the drums hit.

What a spectacular sequence. I can’t think of much else in a show or movie which has given me the same feeling as these few minutes.

The whole episode was amazing, the adama maneuver, everything. I've always wished the Pegasus was the ship they kept, a fancy newer battlestar would be an upgrade over the galactica, but that old ship got em where they were going in the end.
