I love how the ONE time they did, all the fears were validated.
The network with its fake daemons and firewalls lasted how long? A minute or so?
i was gonna say! LOVED that part.
BTW I love how this show continues to hold its own today. I started rewatching it a couple weeks ago, and my wife stopped behind the couch one day and now I am not allowed to watch a second of it unless she’s there to enjoy it too.
It’s a blessing and a curse. It’s great to be able to share stuff but also, what do you mean you’re too tired to watch it’s the last episode of the season come on
I usually pump the brakes with series. She likes to binge, I prefer to watch a couple at a time and let the story sink in before proceeding another day.
I would so hate watcing a great show with you. I want to know what happens next and I want to know it NOW haha
Nah, if I binge I find I forget a lot of the content. Watching one or maximum two episodes at a time stretches the good feeling from the watching, maximizing pleasure.
The binge amnesia allows for surprises on the rewatches
You underestimate how rotten my brain is 😬
… Just watch it again.
(For that “just tape them up” energy)
We just watched it last year and I can’t believe I missed it the first go round. We were blown away.
What show is this from?
Oh you’re in for a ride! Battlestar Galactica. Not the one from the seventies, the one from the aughts. This series broke my mind on what a sci-fi series could be and do. Start with the movie/miniseries, continue with the full on series.
The 2 x 1.5 h miniseries is from 2003. The series from 2004.
A friend tried to watch that with me a few years ago. Wasn’t really my thing.
Don’t be so glum, we all got skeletons in the closet.
Battlestar Galactica
I haven’t watched the show before, but it’s been my Sunday ritual for a little while now. I watch while ironing my shirts, it’s really good ! Character writing is 10/10.
It’s just a pity on a great show to have such a bad ending.
Wasn’t that bad IMO.
It’s way less bad on rewatch. Like we had it good back then for what we considered a bad ending lol

i am out of the loop here once again.
In Battlestar Galactica (2004) robots called Cylons attack the humans by hacking their computer network. They are able to destroy most of humanity and all but a handful of human ships. One of the ships that survives is the Battlestar Galactica, an old ship that was about to become a museum, and is too old to be connected to the network. The man in the picture is Admiral William Adama, captain of the Galactica. He orders that computers are not to be networked together, so they can’t be hacked by the Cylons.
In real life cyber security provider CrowdStrike had a bug in one of its update files. The file went out as part of an automated update to computers at many businesses around the world, including banks and airlines. The bug made the computers crash, grounding flights, making payment systems inoperable, etc.
Just to clarify a point of the show, it isn’t too old to be networked. They had that ability then. They had just previously fought a war with the Cylons, in which the Galactica was built for and fought in, so not networking was standard protocall then. The military decided, after a long peace, they should have networked ships, assuming the Cylon threat was gone. This cause nearly all modern military vessels to be open to exploit, except the Galactica and few remaining older vessels.
Thanks for the clarification. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen it.
Oh yeah, people were saying Picard season 3 ripped off the idea.
Thanks for this article describing the actual computer system update crisis … but still, i do not know what this photograph of some guy means in your post …
Edit : never mind someone else explained it to me here

So say we all!
It’s funny that I am rewatching the series right now. Thankfully it is still as good as I remember it
LOL
Yup.
It can be good to live an analog life, y’all.

Except this time the threat was from Chief Tyrol, surely not foreshadowing anything at all.
Love this!
