Could Colonials still beat Cylons w/out sneak attack in BSG? Newer series.

Assuming the analyst back door didn’t work, I still see the attack succeeding simply because having the eight models embedded in Colonial society plus the ability to repeatedly nuke the planets until most Colonials died off is still a feasible strategy.


Compromising the Colonial defenses like they did raises the success level greatly but the actual colonies still would have been fricked. It would have been a matter of “how much larger would the convoy have been” and “how many Battlestars and Vipers still get wiped out?”

after Colonials stopped the sneak attack from Cylons, the civil war now begins for survival

that would be a hell of a great new series they could do with todays CGI

i wouldnt trust them not to fill it full up with wokeness

You know they took a lot of heat for casting Katee Sackhoff as Starbuck and that was 20 years ago. And she was terrific in the show.

Adama, Starbuck, Boomer, Gaeta, and Dualla would all get called woke casting by the usual suspects if it was made now.

BSG '78 vs BSG '04

Swapped a white male Viper pilot for a white female Viper pilot. (Starbuck) Which worked out juuuust fine.

But also...

They swapped a black male for an *Asian female. (Boomer)
They swapped a black male for a white male (Col. Tigh)
They swapped a half Hawaiian actress who was a pilot/ communications specialist and Col. Adama's daughter for an *Asian female. (Athena) - who wasn't Adama's daughter.
They dropped a white female Medtech character outright. (Cassiopeia)
They dropped a white female Viper pilot. (Lt. Sheba)

But sure, OK. Buy into the idea that everything current day is soooo progressive and ground breaking!


See? No one cares! (Nedry meme)


* Boomer and Athena were both played by the same Asian female.

For realz?

You mean this lady?

Hey, good on ya for finding any reason to post that pic.





Point I was making is that Athena and Boomer were 2 entirely different characters in the '78 BSG series.

In the '04 series, #8 was both Boomer & Athena.

I dunno. The Colonials were almost begging for a truce in the first war.

Without a doubt. The Cylons did not have that many basestars to begin with. what they had was infinite respawn thanks to their resurrections hub.

Had Baltar not let them in the back door to the Colonial defense, someone would have put 2+2 together with facial recognition matches for all the human models.

In the show, the 50 year old Battlestar Galatica in the intro movie held off 3 base star long enough for their fleet to escape. The Pegasus with a skeleton crew destroyed two base star before it died.

The Colonial ships were made to take everything a Cyclon could throw at it and counter attack. The Basestars is made to be a carrier and overwhelmed with superior numbers.

While I don't doubt they would get nuked or be able to nuke some target, it would not be on the scale as the initial attack have been. The vipers could and would intercept since they had closing speed.

TLDR: The second cylon war, had they been fought straight up, without the internet crippling, would have ended in a bloody Colonial Victory.

Also here is a montage of the Battlestar series of Colonials vs Cyclons. Cylons constantly got their ship pushed in in one v one situation.

They didn't think it would work as well as it did . They didn't expect to take out the entire fleet within one day or a few hours.
