Picspam: The Flash Forward/Flashback Edition (Battlestar Galactica, Ensemble)

With BSG at an end, and the rewatch going on at [livejournal.com profile] bsg_refrak, I thought I'd do a picspam of the miniseries. (Sort of.) Includes pics from later episodes, so there are spoilers all the way up to episode 4:20 - Daybreak (Part Two).






GAETA: Comm traffic from the midwatch.
ADAMA: Anything interesting?
GAETA: Mostly housekeeping. There was one odd message, the one that we were copied on from fleet headquarters there, sir. Courier officer's overdue coming back from Armistice Station. They've asked for a full status report on all FTL capable ships, just in case they need someone to jump out there today, see if his ship is having any mechanical problems.
ADAMA: I think we're a little bit busy today, wouldn't you say so, lieutenant?
GAETA: Yes, sir.
ADAMA: I'm glad we agree.
GAETA: And may I take this opportunity to say that it's been both a pleasure and an honor to serve under you these past three years.
ADAMA: It's my honor, Lieutenant Gaeta.








LEE: This seems familiar.
KARA: Captain Adama, sir. Sorry I wasn't there to greet you with the rest of the squadron. Did they kiss your ass to your satisfaction?
LEE: So, what's the charge this time?
KARA: Striking a superior asshole.
LEE: Ahh. I bet you've been waiting all day to say that one.
KARA: Most of the afternoon, yeah. So, how long's it been?
LEE: Two years.
KARA: Two years? We must be getting old. Seems like the funeral was just a couple months ago. Your old man's doing fine. We don't talk about it much, maybe two, three times a year. He still struggles with it, though.
LEE: I haven't seen him.
KARA: Why not?
LEE: Kara, don't even start.
KARA: How long are you gonna do this?
LEE: I'm not doing anything.
KARA: He lost his son, Lee.
LEE: And who's responsible for that?
KARA: Same old Lee. You haven't changed either.
LEE: Zak was my brother.
KARA: What was he to me, nothing?








BOOMER: What are you doing?
HELO: I'm giving up my seat.
BOOMER: Like hell.
HELO: A civilian should take my place.
BOOMER: You're going.
HELO: Look at those clouds. Sharon, look at those clouds, and tell me this isn't the end of everything.
BOOMER: Helo ...
HELO: Whatever future is left is going to depend on whoever survives. Give me one reason why I'm a better choice than one of the greatest minds of our time.








ROSLIN: It's an automated message. It's designed to be sent out in case the president, the vice president, and most of the cabinet are dead or incapacitated. I need you to send my ID code back on the exact same frequency. D as in dog, dash 456, dash 345, dash A as in apple. Thank you.
LEE: How far down?
ROSLIN: 43rd in line of succession. I know all 42 ahead of me from the president down. Most of us served with him in the first administration. Some of them came with him from the mayor's office. I was there with him on his first campaign. I never really liked politics. I kept telling myself I was getting out, but ... he had this way about him.








SIX: No applause for me? I doubt you would have ever completed the project without me.
BALTAR: Yes, well, you helped a bit.
SIX: I rewrote half your algorithms.
BALTAR: All right, you were extremely helpful, but let's not forget, you got something out of it. All that poking around inside the defense mainframe. Should give you a huge advantage bidding for the contract next year.
SIX: You know that's not really why I did it.
BALTAR: No, you did it because you love me.
SIX: That, and God wanted me to help you.
BALTAR: Right, he spoke to you, did he? You had a chat?
SIX: He didn't speak to me in a literal voice, and you don't have to mock my faith.
GAIUS: Sorry. I'm just not very religious.
SIX: Does it bother you that I am?
GAIUS: It puzzles me that an intelligent and attractive woman such as yourself should be taken in by all that mysticism and superstition.

SIX: You know, I really do hope you make it out of here alive. I think we could have a real future together.
BALTAR: Yeah, that would be special.
SIX: You don't have to be sarcastic.








TIGH: This just gets worse and worse. Now the Cylons look like us.
ADAMA: Down to our blood.
TIGH: You realize what this means? They could be anywhere. Anyone.








ROSLIN: There's no Earth. You made it all up. President Adar and I once talked about the legends surrounding Earth. He knew nothing about a secret location regarding Earth, and if the president knew nothing about it, what are the chances that you do?
ADAMA: You're right. There's no Earth. It's all a legend.
ROSLIN: Then why?
ADAMA: Because it's not enough to just live. You have to have something to live for. Let it be Earth.

I love this so, so much. Excellent picspam!

(Like I said, watching the mini is depressing! *g*)

Thank you! I knew I wanted to do it the first time I rewatched the mini - there were just too many awesome possibilities to pass up.

Even more depressing was having to go over some of the later episodes - I cried like a baby rewatching Sometimes A Great Notion (and Blood On The Scales, and Daybreak ...)

Oh, that was gorgeous! You picked out such brilliant moments - I especially love the Boomer/Helo conversation. Oh, Helo!

Thank you! that's one of my favourites - I fell in love with Helo right there, and I've loved him ever since.

That moment is so Helo. I loved him right away too, and I also loved the irony of him sacrificing himself to save Baltar like that -- since Baltar was the total opposite, the most selfish character on the show. Oh Helo, you do matter to the future! *snugs*

Oh, I know! It's kind of amazing how many crucial parts of the series hinge on his spur of the moment decision on Caprica - and to think, he thought he was doing a good thing by saving Baltar. Oh, Helo ♥

Great picspam! Very cool idea.

Thank you :D

*sniff* Excellent work. That first one really illustrates why I find Gaeta the most tragic character of BSG. He really was the loyalist boy scout in the early seasons. Boomer and Dee break my heart too. Oh they were all so young and sweet and hopeful in the mini!

Plus I like how Baltar/Six have kinda transformed and stayed true to themselves at the same time.

Oh, I agree - seeing him in the miniseries, so eager and loyal, and then watching the mutiny arc, really brings home what a tragedy it all is.

Aww, this is really nicely done, and makes me really sad. Dee and Billy! Oh wee young Gaeta! D:

I know! They were so young and adorable :(

Gorgeous picspam. ♥

I really need to rewatch the mini-series (and s1-3).

Thank you! Rewatching the series has been a lot of fun, especially the miniseries.

Ooh, these are so damn pretty.

Great picspam, I love the concept! And gosh, they all looked so young back in the Miniseries. ♥

Thanks! I know, it's unbelievable how young they all were :)

Oh this is just so well done!

This is an amazing picspam. It hooked me right in when you opened with Gaeta. Oh Gaeta.


It makes me a little teary seeing where they all began.

Thanks - I ♥ Gaeta

Awww I loved this! And like everyone else has noted, they all look SO young! I'm even more impressed with the Kara/Lee/Zak flashback in Daybreak now, because they really made them look so new and fresh and naive.

I'm still fascinated by Six and Baltar for going through some of the craziest shit other the series, and then essentially going back to their old selves, albeit a little wiser (and older).

Thank you! The Lee/Kara/Zak flashbacks were very impressive in that regard, I thought.
