This is the thing - he was factually correct.
When he said that there was no way the civilians of the fleet would accept the very Cylons who nuked their entire civilization, he was right
When he said that Adama had allowed his affections for a Cylon cloud his judgement, he was right
When he said that they weren't the same leaders that they were when they first set out years ago, he was right

And he didn't want to just outright airlock them - he wanted them brought up on charges and made to face what they'd done.
Gaeta was the most loyal officer there was.

without gravity there is no need to do a controlled descent. you could simply match the speed of the ship and dock

>>81089694
they were propelled by electromagnetic rails to give their initial velocity so that they didn't burn fuel getting up to speed...don't see whats wrong with that...

landing like that is also only logical until they can be reloaded into the launch tubes

launching ships on rails only makes sense if you can direct launch exactly where they need to go. otherwise the ships would have to burn extra fuel simply to correct course.

She was perfect if you wanted military dictatorship and was right in her way. It's also easy to see Adama would've went down that road if not for Roslin to balance him out with a civilian angle.

I liked their model for how the ship's weapons worked. Nobody is aiming anything really, the ship just hurls a 100 tons of exploding steel into space per minute and odds are anything that gets close is going to be scrap

>>81091350

Still the best sci-fi we'd had in a loooong time, and the best still until the Expanse came along to join that club

>>81090051
they have artificial gravity in the exterior flight deck area for some reason. Maybe its easier to do it that way since real docking in space is very precise and very slow

She was an idiot who was obsessed with >muh revenge. Adama had Roslin, who persuaded him to look after the civilians for the survival o everyone. Cain had no Roslin.

>>81092186

her Roslin turned out to be a cylon, so you can see how that might send her down a different path

Did they ever explain galacticas jump drive or artificial gravity?

>>81092236
No because it's not that kind of show

>>81092228
Yup. I mean, she had her reasons. But it was definitely for the best she was removed from command

>>81092236
Jump drive works by folding space to instantaneously travel.

"The red line" is the maximum distance the ships computer can calculate a jump because planets and stars move through space and when you're looking at them you're seeing them hundreds of years ago.

They always manoeuvre the ship before they launch them so they're facing the target

>>81097030
This, it is obvious from the pegasus episode where both ships launch directly at eachother. There are also launch tubes on either side of the ship so as long as your target isn't in front or behind you then you're set

>>81090569

Start at the very beginning with the miniseries
Then watch it episode by episode until you get up to around halfway through Season 3
The episode with the boxing tournament is basically when it all starts going to shit.

>>81100948
I thought parts of s3 lagged but s4 was almost as good as s1

From what i remember most people disagree but I didn't watch it live so I never really caught up with the Serious Fan Opinion

Why did I want to fugg Starbuck even though she wasn't attractive and had a shitty personality.

>>81101032
>s4 was almost as good as s1
No, it really isn't
The one thing that every BSG fan agrees on in these threads is that the writer's strike fucked over the second half of Season 3 and Season 4.
Aside from Revelations, The Oath/Blood on The Scales Season 4 was really bad. Filler everywhere, plot threads completely dropped like the magic virus that kills Cylons and character arcs completely backtracked.

>>81100948
I dropped it in the 2nd half of season 3.
