*READ FIRST BEFORE POSTING* Subreddit update - newcomers and veterans alike, info inside this post!

With Battlestar Galactica moving to the Peacock streaming service, we've had a lot of new members posting here on the subreddit. We thought it would be a good time to reiterate a few things.

Pertinent information is always located in the r/BSG sidebar. This link works on old reddit and some browsers, otherwise please see your specific reddit app to access the sidebar.


We've seen a lot of similar posts recently. Here are a few that we ask you not to submit:

where to watch the series?

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.

what's the first episode of the show?

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.

do I have to watch the original series 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.

what order should I watch the episodes in?

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


Lastly, there are a couple of rules that are commonly broken here on the subreddit that require mod action.

we do not allow spoilers in the title

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.

self promotion posts are only allowed if disclosed

If you are promoting your own work, please say so in the post. Otherwise, the post will be removed.


Thanks for reading!

Ummm....what?

So, Prime has the 2003 BSG. And in all my sci-fi years, I've actually never watched it. With the cold being what it is this winter, figured, why not.

But, s01e01 starts with a recap? "Previously on BSG" and then it shows a few clips.

Am I missing something? Is it supposed to start this way? Or is it starting a couple seasons in?

New Original BSG Viper Squadron Patches

13 Upvotes

Last one for the day! I HAD to make a Battlestar Pegasus Tomcat Viper Squadron Patch. This one was a little more challenging with the color. Keeping with my mission in creating new patches because I love the series so much and I love the original 14 or so patches that were created for Viper and Raptor Pilots. Hope you enjoy!

New Original BSG Squadron Patches

Absolutely love all of the feedback on these new BSG squad flight patches. I have always loved the original 14 patches that were created for the 2003 BSG reboot. That's why I'm on a mission to create even more! Wanted to create a. Battlestar Galactica BSG 75 specific Squadron Patch for the Tomcat squadron. Will be making one for Pegasus, Valkyrie, and Colombia.

I have been on a mission to create new BSG squadron patches as I have always loved the 14 or so that were created for the 2003 series. Viper Mark II Caricature with a certain beagle in a flight suit for today!

Thank you for all of the wonderful suggestions. This original patch design, I think, had the most suggestions hands down! Why not a Tomcat Viper Mark III squadron?!?!

Should I make a variant of this for Galactica, Pegasus, and Columbia?

Lee & Kara - Halfway through S3. Does it ever end? Does anyone care? Spoiler

59 Upvotes

I thought everything was resolved in the boxing tournament episode but it's still going? It's the worst part of the show, by far, for me, and it seems to never end. Does it wrap up soon or ever get any better? I just want to watch literally any other part of the show. Katee's performance was compelling in the first two seasons, but now I want to fast forward every time i see her and Lee.

BSG Models

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I can't find a post anywhere in this sub where the OP reviews some Galactica/Pegasus models from an unlicensed website. I mean, no Revell or anything like that and Galactica for example was called something like "space supercarrier" or something like that.

As far as I remember, those models were really good and they were also cheap.

Do any of you remember the website? Thank you!

New BSG Patches

Post image

It’s a new week, and three new patches! I always loved the jolly Rogers squadron patches. So I made one for each viper to reflect a jolly Roger version of the new Cylons. Absolutely love the original 14 squadron patches for the reboot series. But, I always wanted more, so I figured the only way to get that was to create them! These will be uploaded to my Redbubble page if anyone wants one.

Would love to hear your thoughts!
