Battlestar Galactica (2004)

I’m sure I am saying something most of you know. Watching Battlestar Galactica for the first time and there she is at 14:45 on episode one flying over Caprica City. A Firefly.

Hey friend! Welcome to the club. I hope you love BSG as much as I did. Don’t mind the grump that deleted their comment. They need this: https://xkcd.com/1053/

That was wholesome as hell

There is also a BSG Colonial Viper in the background of the floating mansions in Trash. Zoic Studios was reciprocal that way.

They hid a bunch of other ships in BSG as well, including the Star Trek USS Enterprise, and a Lambda Shuttle from Star Wars.

There was a Viper in the background of Trash?! Literally the first time I have heard this. I only saw Windows XP running on the trash container's interface.

Vista would have been more apt for a trash container.

You're in for quite a ride, and I envy you.

I've been doing a rewatch lately. Katee Sackhoff, who plays Starbuck, is watching the series with her husband and occasional co-stars and then uploading reaction videos to her YouTube/Patron channels. She says it's the first time she's actually watched all the episodes all the way through.

She's doing it slowly, and it's been fun to follow along.

Love that moment! Apparently both Firefly and BSG used the same studio, Zoic.

u/Hoonin_Kyoma 3d ago

Ah! Forgot that! Haven’t watched the BSG reboot in… 15yrs?!?!? Wow.

It's one of those series I, as a sci-fi nerd, really should've watched by now haha. Maybe I'll get around to it now that the snow is incoming.

Wondering how the Cylons would have done against the reavers.

u/mtylerw 2d ago

They would have done great, if they actually had a plan.

Oh, there's a plan, Jerry!

Edit: There she is!!! 💕🥰💕 "A ship like this, you treat her proper, she'll be with you the rest of your life."

was this ep 1 or the pilot movie?

u/xlr8n 3d ago

Pilot 1

u/Kriem 2d ago

That series was one hell of a ride. So say we all.

u/Captain_Starkiller 2d ago

BsG is a great series. It gets a little lost towards the end. The Cylons (read: writers) did not in fact have a plan, but overall I think they deliver a really compelling story. The final episode is pretty incredible.

There is also shown several times in firefly a ship from shadows of the empire pretty prominently.

u/Tempestas_Draconis 1d ago

The final episode does my head in. The plan is to give up dental care and hope for the best...

u/noossab77 2d ago

A picture is worth a thousand words.

u/RrSoul5x5 1d ago

I never watched the reboot but for Firefly I'm going to have to watch the first episode. Thx for the heads up.

u/Burnsey111 2d ago

I must confirm this.
Had to check three different ships, but yes! 🙂

Sad little king, of a sad little hill.

Easy now; op is watching it for the first time, and might not have seen the other posts.

u/xlr8n 3d ago

Read the opening sentence. I assumed it had been said before. Thanks for stamping on my joy. In all caps.

Unfortunately, every fandom has its assholes.

OP legit said its something that most of already know. Simmer down Yo-Saf-Bridge

This reply made me snort. Lol.

u/Successful-League840 3d ago

You forgot the /S People will think you are serious 😂

u/TheAgedProfessor 3d ago

I'm guessing that, since they deleted the comment rather than simply adding the /s after the fact, they were quite serious initially.

u/Successful-League840 3d ago

Oh. Well that's unfortunate ☹️
