We've seen a lot of similar posts recently. Here are a few that we ask you not to submit:
JustWatch is a website that displays where to stream or buy tv shows and movies, and is very helpful for those tracking down the location of Battlestar. Right now, it's only available on Peacock to stream in the US, but always check this link for the most up to date information.
Links to piracy will be removed, and repeat offenders will be blocked.
Battlestar Galactica begins with Battlestar Galactica: The Miniseries, a two-part pilot. Many streaming services and platforms do not show the miniseries as part of the show, often having the season one episode '33' listed as the first episode. It is essential that the miniseries is watched first.
No, the 2004 series stands on its own. While some characters and general plot points may have inspired the 2004 series, they are very different shows.
Please check the wiki post here. Generally, it's recommended to watch in the original viewing order, that is The Mini-Series > Season 1 > Season 2 > Season 3 > Season 4 > The Plan > Caprica > Blood and Chrome
As much as possible, we try to keep this subreddit open for new viewers. That means marking spoilers in the comments of a post, or avoiding using a title with a spoiler. If you see spoilers in a title or comment that are not properly marked, please use the report function - this is the only way the moderators can take action.
If you are promoting your own work, please say so in the post. Otherwise, the post will be removed.

No one will get it there so I share here. The conversation is the executives all got post acquisition new laptops that were a clear downgrade from what we were using before.

It would be a long shot, but if some of the government computers survived, they would be invaluable resources to the survivors.

Count Iblis, played with suave charm and sophistication by the late great Patrick McNee, was a devil that tried to corrupt the fleet in the original series.
Same rules: cannot be the same actor. Actor must be living.
Who would you pick?

What would the fleet doctrine of the Colonial Fleet have looked like after the Armistice? Besides being organized into Battlestar Groups? I'm guessing "nothing, deliberately" so the Cylons can't adapt to any one tactic or doctrine, but maybe I'm putting too much stock into how well the Cylons did during the First Cylon War and their ability to adapt.

Mine is the battle of the colony.
Just wrote in BSG on a poll for the best TV theme of the 70s. I'm a band geek and played trumpet on that in our local symphony in the 80s in HS so I may be partial, but the arrangement and build up to the three timpanis and French Horn/Trumpet combo during the finale is just incredible. I also like the simple use of the snare drum which sounds like a drum corp.

BSG Starship Battles
Good evening all. My collection is ordered finally arrived. I'm excited to get into the game but then I realized, yes I have every expansion, but to fully enjoy the game, will I need to go the xwing miniature route and buy multiples? If so, what multiples should I get and how many? Due to the difficulty of obtaining, chances are I'll have to resin print and paint multiples.

Seriously guys, this has been bothering me for a while.
Is it ever explained how >!Ellen, Saul, Galen, Tory and Sam(uel)<!came to be? I mean, who created them?
Thanks!

Don’t know his name, don’t know his story - but when I see him, I point him out.

As title. Can't find this info through a cursory Google search, so I thought I'd ask here.
r/BSG • u/Yarshman • 3d ago
Forgive me if this has already been answered. Who else did the colonial fleet fight besides the cylons? Were there wars that are eluded to within their galaxy that necessitated the battlestars, vipers, etc.?

At this point, the one for one casting is depleted.
Do you want to keep going with individual characters?

This scene is probably the funniest. But it does make you think of the human condition and the suffering they are going through. God damn. Its been so many years yet nothing beats it.

What did Dr. Baltar do before the Cylon Attack? He clearly has a doctorate, but not in a specific field that I remember. One episode, he’s an expert on technology (which is supposedly why he worked for the Defense Department). The next he’s doing experimental medicine.
Seems like he falls into an old-fashioned “scientist man” trope where he’s knowledgeable in all fields necessary to the plot.

In season 1, Gaius Baltar's new cylon detector flashes up red on Sharon Valeri's blood sample, revealing her to be a cylon.
Right there in the room, Gaius's personal Six scares him into not saying anything because of Sharon's likely violent reaction to being exposed.
But once he's out of the room, Gaius presumably still knows Sharon is a cylon. Isn't it strange that he never references that fact afterwards?
I mean, Gaius acts afterwards like he's unaware Sharon's test came up red and she's a live threat to the fleet. Once out of immediate danger from Sharon, surely he would have talked about what he saw?
EDIT: I agree there is some ambiguity in the show about whether Gaius's cylon test was accurate (or intended to be accurate). But still, the fact remains Sharon's beta trial of the test did correctly reveal her as a cylon.
r/BSG • u/kmhoughton • 4d ago
Since they used both Athena and Boomer call signs I separated them into two castings as they are technically different characters.
Same rules. Cannot use the same actors. Must be a living actor.
In either version of the show.
Have fun!
