TV-Commentary - Battlestar Galactica
The very best episode of Battlestar Galactica
There are a lot of possibilities, even in the one short season in which Battlestar Galactica ran. Putting aside the pilot, some people would say it was the Gun on Ice Planet Zero; but that had a little too much Boxy in it to be the best of the best.

Others would say it was The Living Legend, and that was probably the second best episode. It had great space battles, and Commander Cain, Baltar, the Imperious leader, battles with baseships, and more. But that too was a bit drawn out (I've never seen two parters that weren't).

It's a close call, but the very best episode, I think, was the one where Starbuck and Apollo infiltrate a Cylon baseship using a Cylon fighter, sneak their way into the core and blow up its sensors. The planning and execution of it were great, and at the end, when they lose their "red dot" sensors, and have to waggle to get into the ship, it was a very satisfying ending.

What do you think was the best episode of Battlestar Galactica?

My very favorite episode of the original, true, and better "Battlestar Galactica" was the two-part "War Of The Gods"!!! GINO SUCKS!!! There is no very best episode of GINO

living legend was the best episode ever. of course that was when cain had balls.


       Pimanatknox posts on 10/29/2005 6:08:07 PM

Yeah, I think "Kobal's last Gleaming" will have to take the slot as the best Battlestar galatica episode ever.

Had to put a little bit of Mormonism in the plot. The problem I hadwith the original series was the attitude the Colonials had after getting whipped. Oh just happy..not a problem in the world....just blew up all my relatives but no problem. And not a mention of what happened on the home worlds. And not all of them were human, some were humanoid.


       The commentator Bang Bang posts on 10/11/2005 4:17:00 PM

"War of the Gods" was a fantastic 2-part episode, dwelling on the age-old conflict between good and evil. I always liked the Ship of Lights in that storyline. "Fire in Space" was another good episode...but it seems in every show, the Cylons would crash into the landing bay, causing a fire. Didn't it ever occur to Adama to put a door in front of the thing?


       The commentator #1 Imperious Leader Fan posts on 10/10/2005 6:16:31 PM

Any one with the Imperious Leader. One of the best sci-fi villians. My Favorite one and I the only BG DVD I have is the first movie cause it was in it for more than 1 sceen. Need Living Legend part 2 cause I think it's in it too. "Report Centerion" "Baltar you time has come to an end" LOL.


       The commentator Ken Burke posts on 10/9/2005 5:51:41 PM

My personal favorite would be the "Fire in Space" episode. Finally, the Cylons get smart. Don't try and shoot the Battlestar down, simply ram it!!!


       The commentator SueGeek posts on 10/9/2005 5:37:33 PM

I was still in diapers when the original Battlestar Galactica ran. I had to content myself to watching reruns of it. From what I remember, it was a Kiddie show, compared to the new Galatica, which is why i prefer the new one. There's enough kiddie junk out there!


       The commentator smcjones posts on 10/9/2005 3:29:36 AM

Hey, I am a really grumpy old man who hates the New Battlestar Galactica. I have very little time to do anything other than be upset at the fact that there's an entirely new series taking a different look at an old idea. It also really annoys me that Star Trek had other things like "Deep Space 9" and "Voyager". I mean, what's next, a Gay captain? maybe they could all wear skipper outfits. Deep Space 9? More like Deeply Unimportant! Hahaha! Anyway, back to this "new" "Battlestar Galactica". I think that people who like it shouldn't be allowed to exist in this society. It is obviously a sign of their inherent inferiority that they like this show. Which is why I'm glad I found this website! I'm really looking forward to some comments, and maybe finding some fellow "new" "Battlestar Galactica" haters that I can devote several hours ranting with.


       jabba posts on 10/1/2005 6:50:15 PM

The old series got off track when they came across Terra and the two factions fighting over control of their areas of influence.


       The commentator Bang Bang posts on 10/1/2005 5:51:18 AM

I kinda' liked "The long Patrol," where Starbuck test-flies an experimental Viper, which is then stolen by someone else. Starbuck ends up in a prison where the cell doors aren't locked, but sees paintings on the cell wall of Earth, apparently done by a person long ago called the "Silent One."


       The commentator rand posts on 8/26/2005 11:11:52 PM

did 33 even have a script? i thought they were just putting the actors in front of the cameras and having them say whatever came to mind. a question about 33. the episode begins with a soaking wet, comatose boomer sitting in her room. what did she do, open the door to these humongus water tanks on the galactica, dive in and set the explosive charges underwater? come on, talk about unbelievable. the greatest episode of the real galactica is "war of the gods."


       The commentator killer12382 posts on 8/1/2005 5:49:09 PM

I remember that episode, and you're right...it was lame. Their whole civilization was destroyed and all they wanted to do was party on that planet. They must have been suffering from disco fever. Come to think about it....the cylons were so bumbling and stupid, that means the people on Battlestar Galactica were complete morons.


       The commentator Good Grief posts on 7/30/2005 3:19:58 AM

Maybe it was when they went to the disco planet and had a party after their entire civilization was destroyed. I remember that very well. It warmed my heart that the last remains of humanity could let their fear and mourning of the loss of billions of people. I had therapy for years after learning that it wasn't a true reflection of reality.


       The commentator killer12382 posts on 7/29/2005 6:09:33 PM

There doesn't appear to be a romance going on yet as Starbuck is trapped on Caprica, tripping on anti- radiation medicine. Starbuck and Apollo appear to be only close friends. I did think there was going to be something between Baltar and Starbuck but when she caught him whacking off during a mind f*ck with #6 she wrote him off as a wacko.


       The commentator Laura posts on 7/29/2005 11:58:59 AM

Help me someone please i have been searching the web fro news on the season 2 satrbuck and Apollo romance status. It would appear that satrbuck sleeps with someone who looks like lee, though i am really confussed because the next eposoide Kara is all over Lee, is the person who kara sleeps with in the farm Lee or not?


       The commentator Rick posts on 4/2/2005 11:59:41 AM

33 was the best BSG episode ever written and directed. Kudos to Ron moore and his crew.


       The commentator alittlegroovin posts on 3/23/2005 2:50:13 AM

hey carlo i just bought a copy of tv guide featuring battlestar galactica...i really like what they featured about the show..whats ur favorite part?


       The commentator Carlo Gibbs posts on 3/16/2005 9:50:15 PM

Hey guys if you read this I hope I can get some answers :) Ok here aside from Boomer, Number six and the cylon centurions, how many kinds cylons are there in BSG? On the original series, how was everything resolved in the end, from finding Earth to defeating the Cylons? BTW there was and article about BSG on tvguide.


       The commentator alittlegroovin posts on 3/13/2005 9:50:09 PM
