The Final Five Reveal Themselves to Each Other | Battlestar Galactica

The final five are drawn together and reveal themselves to each other and are horrified.

From "Crossroads Part 2" (Season 3, Episode 20): Untrue testimony could seal Baltar's fate, Laura learns her visions have been shared, and an upset quartet reach an ugly realisation.

I appreciate that it was Chief Tyrol, arguably the most grounded of them, that accepts it first.

[hondansx]

hands down one of the best scenes in this entire show. Bear McCreary's music was absolutely fantastic.

_Deadbolt that FRAKKING DOOR!_

Saul Tigh is such an amazing character and Michael Hogan does an outstanding job portaying him.

[molluskweddin]

You cut it before Tigh's speech! One of my favorite lines in the whole series: "My name is Saul Tigh. I'm an officer in the Colonial Fleet. Whatever else I am, whatever else it means, that's the man I want to be. And if I die today, that's the man I'll be."

I still listen to Bear’s version of “All Along the Watchtower”. It brings back the power and awe from the first time I saw this show and particularly this part. Truly a masterpiece!

It just struck me that a major hint to the identity of two of the final five was dropped in the very first episode, "33". While everyone in the fleet was suffering fatigue from lack of sleep, Starbuck made a joke about Sharon not showing any signs of fatigue "because she's a Cylon." I revisited the first episode recently and noticed two other members of Galactica's crew who showed no signs of fatigue: Tigh and Tyrol.

Incorporating All Along The Watchtower not only into the soundtrack but the _story_ shouldn't have worked, but it worked *so well*

"What about Ellen?"

Great writing and a great delivery.

[chadmorehart]

This is the best show of any genre I have ever seen!!! And this scene in particular is one of the best if not the best I have ever seen in any show!!! 20+ years later and no other show comes close to this work of art!

[cameroncunningham]

"Along the Watchtower" was an absolutely masterful choice o a song for this scene!

[andrewhillier]

My gods the absolute goosebumps this just gave me after all these years is unreal!

[multitudeofidols]

I remember watching this live when it first originally broadcast.

I had the closed captions on (couldn't turn it off) and at the 2:33 point it read "♪ [All Along the Watchtower] ♪". I didn't know what was going on, but it felt so monumental.

[PraetorPaktu]

This ending was insane the first time i saw it.

[matthiasfejes]

One of the best moments in TV history for sure.

[EmiliusReturns]

One of the best episodes of one of the best shows ever made. Hands down.

[johnsondadj]

Still terrific with the four, even though the fifth is revealed later.

[SheldonAdama]

Anders bears an uncanny resemblance to Sheppard from Stargate Atlantis

[somebuddyX]

Listening to RDM's old podcast of Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down today it was funny hearing him go into extreme detail on Tigh's combat history in the Cylon War when you compare it to what we find out later.

[RealStuntPanda]

To clarify for everyone not in on the lore: the final five are the only surviving "humans" from Earth after a nuclear war that destroyed the planet. They are cylons because _humans_ are cylons. Yep, it's a vicious cycle that keeps repeating: humans create a slave robotic species, that robotic species revolts, they kill their creators, the robots become more and more human over eons and evolve the ability to procreate, they create slave robotic species... rinse and repeat.

[Beef]

This probably goes down as one of the most demented mindfucks in movie history!
