"Best way to avoid attracting attention. No power signature, going in a straight line. Unless somebody actually gets close enough to see us, we'll look like a chunk of debris on the sensors. I think we have enough innertia to make it to Caprica's atmosphere, then we power up and find a place to land"

It's little things like this that makes this show just that much more enjoyable.

...all that carnage..
all for lack of a good VPN.
Smh :(

This scene was so haunting...they died so helplessly...

A microcosm for the entire Second Cylon War

This scene is so impactfull because in retrospect we know how much these experienced pilots (and their state of the art vipers) would have helped in the years after. The (presumably) créme de la créme of galactica's pilot corps wiped out in 5 seconds.

The fact I look at a dradis readout in this series and it tells me everything I need to know to draw the scene out in my head. That was the real icing that made the space combat into good film of the whole series

The scoring is sick AF, especially when the cylon emerged from the star.

This is an accurate representation of what happens to my units anytime I try to play any Real-Time Strategy game online.

This is what worries me will happen to our F-35s. They're all networked - aside from the ones Israel purchased. Israel said no thanks to that 'ability'.

The networking 'feature' lets all F-35s upload new signatures they've found into a database, as well as get their software updates. I just wonder how secure it all is.

i will never look at my toaster the same way again

And right after the Cylons started jamming their computers, my PC hit a run/stop fault and blue-screened! Holy shit, that was bizarre!!

[TTrigg]

"Jolly, can you read me..?"

Wow they killed an original series character off early :(

[cylon]

As an old timer for the original Battlestar Galactica, It took me a while to warm up to this series but when I put my prejudices aside I really enjoyed the series. It was very well made and the stories kept you glued. Really awesome series just like the original with incredible fight scenes with that pounding drum made it tense.

[RoninDave]

The show was so good when we thought the Cylons had a plan until we realized the writers didn't know what that plan was beyond blowing stuff up and following the main cast for 4 seasons

[mgDuckyyy]

Dem cylons wasting a lot of nukes over the oceans of Caprica.

[sirmullich]

'ok boomer' sounds different now

[techstudio]

I remember seeing these Cylon Raider for the first I am still in awe great design.

[MRB]

Seeing that dead Jupiter class that got itself cut in two, oof.

[ghostofpambo]

This was such a good series. They really made an effort to make this as realistic and plausible as possible.

🤔ever WONDER🤔 why the CYLONS🛸 never JAMMED🛸 the SHUTTLE🛩 flown by BOOMER👩 hmmm🤔

[roberthaworth]

When Helo seals off the hull breach with that vaccu-magnetic patch, it's a callback to the first episode of Lost in Space (1965) when MAJ West had to do the same thing after the robot went berserk.
