Tomorrow night is the beginning of the end – the first of the final 10 episodes of Battlestar Galactica. Only one more sleep! I can barely contain my excitement!
Perhaps now is a good time to take a trip down memory lane. SciFi Wire did precisely that with the cast of BSG, as they shared their most memorable moments over the past four seasons.
Michael Hogan remembers one of the early scenes from the miniseries:
“We were burying the soldiers. It was the funeral,” says Hogan. “Adama talks about how we have to be responsible for the things that we have done and at the end of that, we didn’t really know each other any of the cast members, and didn’t really know what to expect, especially as far acting, because this was first day of principal photography. Adama finishes this speech and then says, ‘So say we all,’ and I guess we sort of mumbled, ‘So say we all.’ Eddie [Olmos] kind of looked at all of us and said it again, ‘So say we all.’ Well, we weren’t ready for that so we said, ‘So say we all.’ And he looked at us and said, ‘SO SAY WE ALL.’ And he got us all going and it was a chilling, chilling time. It was like, ‘Whoa,’ and by the end of it the whole room, the hundreds of us are just yelling, “SO SAY WE ALL!” And that wasn’t in the script.”
What would I pick as my favourite moment? With a series this great, there are far too many scenes to mention for many different reasons. I’ll just touch on the more sentimental ones that stand out in my mind. I loved it when Lee and Kara declared their love for each other on New Caprica, only to have Kara marry Anders instead. I adore the scene when Laura Roslin and Bill Adama are finally reunited when the Cylon basestar she’s on disappears. She says “I love you”, and he says “It’s about time.” That one brings a tear to my eye every time I watch it.
If you had to pick your favourite scenes, what would they be?
Melissa, aka The Televixen, is a Toronto-based TV blogger and podcaster with a weakness for vampires and viper pilots. After freelancing with print and online magazines for several years, she founded 
way too many scenes to pick just one. But I think the one that hooked me on the show was early in the series, it may have even been in the miniseries, where Adama had to blow up that entire luxury liner ship because they were being tracked. And I was like. Whoa.. this show is different. To kill that many people just like that… crazy…
That was a fantastic scene, so tragic and gut-wrenching because we know that little girl Cami that Laura Roslin had spoken with in an earlier scene was on that liner when it was blown up. They’ve never been afraid to take risks with the show, and that’s what sets it apart.
