I love that when he hears it's just Starbuck and Apollo left out there, Tigh doesn't hesitate to order the pods closed. He's the XO, he's doing what has to be done to protect the fleet and he knows Adama won't stop him. But he won't make Adama give the order to leave his son behind.

The way the Galactica turns and bring her back and her majority of her guns to fire their salvos is awesome. The way she setup herself to protect the civilian fleet and be able to safely launch her Vipers it's something that you don't see in any naval fights in TV or cinema.
BSG i salute you.

That has to be one of the best Sci-Fi battle sequences ever filmed. The tension and the character interactions set the tone for the entire series.

Katee Sackhoff and Jamie Bamber NEVER let us down.

It's amazing to see the CIC looking so clean, and it feels like the crew are all baby faced. The next few years would take it's toll on both ship and crew.

I was 8 years old when I saw Star Wars for the first time in 1977, ...and I'll never forget that that Star Destroyer flying over my head. Fast forward to this episode in 2003 when I was in my mid 30s. It was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. Expecting lasers we got hard projectiles and incredible attention to naval detail, ...

[Kylenashari]

The ability to create real tension was one of this shows many areas of mastery.

The Galactica coming out of the nebula and turning to face the Basestars and to protect the retreat is one of the best scenes in SciFi EVER!!

[LibertyandFreedom]

Growing up with the original it took me a long time to get over the fact that Starbuck was changed to a woman but Katie Sackoff just knocked it out of the park. If anything she ended up being my favorite character, props to her.

[Kingonads]

I loved that scene... "Coming in a little fast dont you think?!" " No...?"

[Dave-fsuu]

Hard to believe it will be 20 years this year since the miniseries debuted. Doesn't seem like it was that long ago.

[Angarsk]

I can't remember how many times I've seen this battle, and yet, I'm again on the edge of my seat!

[wysoft]

Man that scene of Galactica maneuvering to broadside is still one of the coolest images of the series. You had no idea up to this point what she was capable of.

[marchills]

We were so fortunate to have this show when it came out. I remember the pilot mini-series had a very post-9/11 vibe to it; humanity reeling from profound loss. The series built on that "against all odds" sensibility with sequences like this and just delivered season after season.

20 years later this is still one of the coolest scenes

[pacfic]

Love how they use kinetic weapons and missiles. Makes the action more realistic.

[petehoskins]

Brilliant show, one of the best Sy-Fy series that has been produced. They made a remake into a gripping hi tech show that had you thinking about the multiple plots and the day to day lives of the people of the colonies and the Cylons/toasters. Cheers 👍

[throughmyshadow]

That sound track brings me back. So good.

Also love that the Galactica always used tactics. The enterprise would have just parked in front of those base ships and took it to the face for 15 minutes straight.

[RolandoRatas]

A 20+ year old sci fi TV show that still stands up today at the end of 2024 in terms of CGI, acting, plot; everything. A masterclass in sci-fi tv.

[Allindays]

Boy, I do miss a good Sci-Fi like this one...
