Best line of the series

[Pagz]

Just thought this might be some fun for fans of TOS. What would you say is the very best line of the series? No criteria here, funny, sad, happy, dramatic, it's all good. I just wanna know what single line in the series is the one you love the best. To get the ball rolling, here's mine:

"When Commander Adama sees these, he's going to go CRAZY!"
- Col. Tigh "Saga of a Star World"

This line just kills me every time, the way he delivers it is just classic. Not to mention the thought of Lorne Greene going "crazy" over dirty uniforms is too amusing for words in my estimation ;)

I'm also fond of Commander Caine's favourite cylon description, Starts with a G I'm sure, but I can't recal the term. In any case, he says it about 15 billion times. In fact, I don't think he can refer to the cylons without calling them "those G--------ing cylons"

[Muffit]

Welcome to Colonial Fleets, Pagz!

Favorite line? Ooh, that's a toughie. I've got about a gazillion favorite lines from my beloved BSG. Hmm.. well, this one is one of the tops, to be sure...

* Baltar is personally leading an attack force on the big G in The Living Legend and leers with anticipated victory when his copilot Cylon bursts his bubble *

Baltar: "Another battlestar? It's impossible!"
Cylon: "No, it's a battlestar"

:D I crack up every time I hear it - Cylons cracking jokes - ya gotta love it!!! :D

:muffit:

[Dawg]

Pagz, it's "Gall-monging Cylons".

One of my favorite lines - from Saga, after the escape from Carillon, the centurion is speaking to the Imperious Leader:

IL: But we took them by surprise.

Centurion: It was apparently not as big a surprise as we had hoped for.

Loved that...

I am
Dawg
:warrior:

[Pagz]

Gall-monging! I love fabricated profanity. And boy oh boy did Lloyd ever love to throw that term around ;)

[BST]

From the Living Legend:

Starbuck: "With support troops like these, who needs Cylons!"

[thomas7g]

I agree with Muffit. But I like the line before that.

Cylon: "You really ought to look at the OTHER Battlestar."

:laugh:

[Stray Viper]

What can I say? Just look at my signature!

When Apollo is confused about what is going on in that planet. I forget which episode but it's the one with Knight Rider's Devin Miles (you know, the old guy from the Foundation) and the lady says to Apollo that he must have amnesia. And Apollo, distracted, says:

"Amnesia. What a beautiful name."

[Muffit]

I like that line too Thomas! I was having a hard time picking between the two. BSG had few laughs, like TNG, so when they happened they were all the more funny!

Stray Viper, that was Experiment in Terra I believe. Brenda was the girl's real name - and you're right, that line was great!!! :)
:muffit:

[jewels]

I love the one where Boomer is worried about Starbuck getting them in trouble with Apollo (during the survey of the fleet ships in Saga) and Starbuck's response is basically ennumerrates something about our planets are shot up, something else on the direness of their situation and he closes with "...and I'm going to get us in trouble?"

Some of the Boomer/Starbuck exchanges are my favorites!

My favorite Starbuck/Apollo incident is Starbuck introducing himself & Apollo to Chameleon, "I'm Starbuck and this is my conscience, Apollo."

Favorite Baltar/Lucifer "Don't fence with me Lucifer." --Baltar

[Starbuck]

See my signature. :girl: :choco:

[larocque6689]

"Lucifer, I'll tear you apart, limb from limb, circuit from circuit. You haven't heard the last of Baltar...."

Baltar was framed! He was the TRUE star of Battlestar Galactica.

"Burn Galactica! You're finished Adama."

[bsg1fan1975]

One of my favorites came from Lost Planet of the Gods

Apollo: "Serina, get your tail back on board the Galactica."

Serina: "Is that any way to talk to a junior officer. I'll have you brought up on charges or at least locked out of my chambers.":laugh:

Another one I liked i use for one of my signatures!

[Commander Cain]

See my signatures.

[bsg1fan1975]

From the Young Lords

cylon: "these humans are not very well constructed. They break easy"

Starbuck: "at least we dont rust."

[dec5]

Athena on Starbuck making out in the launch tube...:

"That Snake....."

[sharpe26]

with regards to that launch tube, Lord I'll do anything you ask tomorrow, just don't call an alert tonight.

[dru]

"Launch when ready!" and "By /your/ command," to Baltar with Lucifer's sarcastic emphasis.

And my mother's favorite back in the day from IL series Spector, "Half the garrison's down with rust."

[Westy]

"They hate us with every fiber of their existence. We love freedom. We love independance, to feel, to question, to resist oppression. To them it's an alien way of existing. They will never accept. - Adama on the Cylons

"Apparently it was not as big a surprise as we had hoped for" - Centurion to Imperious Leader

"Eat all your primaries...and stop chasing girls" - Apollo

"Well...surely you don't mean....*me*?" - Baltar

My all time favorite scene though is when Starbuck is brought before Baltar on the Basestar when he turns around and lights a match off of a Centurion. It pretty much tells me all I need to know about Starbuck.

"Thanks!" - Starbuck

[bsg1fan1975]

Another one from Man with Nine lives

Apollo: "I lost a sectons pay."

[CmdrCain]

This show had so many great lines, both serious and humorous. My favorite humorous line has to the one already mentioned where Baltar mentions "the last battlestar's destruction", only to find the Pegasus coming up fast on his flank. It was hysterical to watch that smug look of his vanish so quickly.

Throughout the show, the exchanges between Baltar and Lucifer were usually quite good. I especially enjoyed them in The Living Legend.

B- "We have them where we want them, now launch!"
L- "But they're not where we want them."
B- "What do you mean, 'they're not where we want them'?"

L- "May I suggest the legendary Commander Cain."
B- "Cain! What does he care about the Galactica or the fleet, he wants...ohhhh...he wants...he wants me!"

B- "How long until our ships can return to defend us?"
L- "I'm afraid the Pegasus will reach us first."
B- "Then fall back; let the other two base commanders intercept the Pegasus."
L- "I'm not sure the other base commanders will appreciate that."

Here's a few others that also came to mind from War of the Gods:

Boomer - "So much for my moment of glory."

Count Iblis - (on Apollo and Sheba) "Why should she be limited to one man, or you and I to one woman?"
Starbuck - "Hmmm...I think I may like this place you come from."

[CrysWimmer]

Hands down, my favorite line was from Boomer in Lost Planet of the Gods...

Tigh: Sir, you obviously cannot even stand!
Boomer: I believe the viper is flown from the seated position.

Now, if that doesn't capture the entire atmosphere of the series, I don't know what does.

[Muffit]

Welcome to Colonial Fleets, CmdrCain and CrysWimmer :)
:muffit:

[CmdrCain]

Thanks, Muffit! :) Good to see active BSG fans out there!

[Sept17th]

From LPOTG when Starbuck is brought before Baltar

Lucifer: things would go better for you lieutenant if you show a little respect

Starbuck: you mean things could get worse (tosses match over his shoulder)

[thomas7g]

Fuynniest line for me was in the last episode.

Baltar: "Goood lluuuuck!"

[shiningstar]

I loved that one too Dawg!

[SpyOne]

My brother's favorite line, because (in part) he is certain he will not have to tell you where it is from or what the context is.
I offer you only one clue: it is said by a Cylon Warrior.

"Ut-oh."

[Captain Spyro]

Saga of a Star World:

Boxey: Darn you Daggit!

Tigh: When the commander sees these, he's going to go CRAZY!

[CrysWimmer]

I seem to remember him saying that a lot. I wonder why they never put a leash on that thing - it got them into more trouble (and yeah, I know it saved the day in Fire in Space, but mostly it just ran off and got Boxey into dangerous situations). Just a thought.

-Crys-

[shiningstar]

I think that because it was a machine with limited
intelligence as compared to let's say a young boy or a
cylon they just didn't bother.

[crash4587]

Lost Planet of the Gods...........Adama to Baltar"You have a tounge of a Angel and a soul of a Serpant".........:devil: :D :D

[shiningstar]

I love that one Crash!

[ViperTech]

1. From (I believe) The Living Legend

Boomer: "Well, what's it gonna' be?" (With his pistol drawn)

Any of Boomer's quips while holding his pistol are hilarious, including his "Thank You" to Sire Uri's security Guard in Saga of a Star World.


2. From The Hand of God

Baltar: "Toys, Adama?"

followed by Baltar's realization of the situation. "They've found you!" and a quick gulp of the drink he first ignored when Adama poured it for him. Great comedy timing by Colicos!

Check my signature as well, from the same episode.

[bsg1fan1975]

From LPOTG

Colonel Tigh: "Flight Sgt. Do you know of the only thing worse than lifting from the officers mess?"

Greenbean: "No sir."

Tigh: "The only thing worse than lifting from the officers mess is getting caught lifting from the officers mess."

[thomas7g]

That's what I love about this show, LOTS of wonderful bits of dialog.

:)

"Its no bother at all. What's a warrior to do after he lost the big one?...Win some of the little ones."

"That's not a little one in there"

:love:

[shiningstar]

LOL Vipertech! I had forgotten about that one!

[cobrastrikelead]

nt.

[originalsinner]

Inst he wonderfuly devious we will learn much from him-Lucifer LPOTG

[Muffit]

That's another great line, OriginalSinner! And what makes it so absolutely apt is who says it - Jonathan Harris, the king of deviousness as Dr. Smith... :)
:muffit:

[originalsinner]

I know this is the Colonial Fleets but when Twiki was in the freezer in The Buck Roger Pilot movie, he replyed 'Im freezing my Ball bearings off" is just too funny

[sleer]

Hector and Baltar having discussions.

[shiningstar]

LOL BSG1fan1975! For some reason I couldn't remember
WHO said those lines. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

[DarkJedi]

The one that always makes me laugh is when Apollo goes to Serena's quarters and she tells him that she's a pilot and they tell Boxey to leave. And as Boxey was leaving he goes

B: come on muffit they're going to argue again.
S: No we are not going to argue
A: Yes we are.

That scene always makes me giggle.

[Muffit]

I always giggle at that one too DarkJedi! :)
:muffit:

You missed a line - it should be...
B: come on muffit, they're going to argue.
S: No we are not going to argue.
Door closes with Boxey outside...
B: Yes they are.
Back in the room...
A: Yes we are.

And you are right - it's one of the absolute best lines of the series.

-Crys-
who has watched that episode WAY too many times <g>

[jewels]

Good catch Crys! DarkJedi & Muffit: that's one of my favorites too!
Jewels

[jewels]

Did anyone mention Tigh giving the Launch Patrol order from Adama's office in Lost Warrior when he convinces Adama to let him send out a patrol to look for Apollo?

Adama just has this expression like he's lost actual command of the ship when the vipers launch instantly, Tigh sort of shrugs it off with something like, "There must have been a patrol ready to launch". Lorne gives a skeptical look to Terry but true to the nature of the Tigh/Adama relationship, he doesn't question his 2nd in command.

[shiningstar]

Me too DarkJedi! I love your Moniker! I still can't
figure how you got the light saber that shade .....
it's perfect.

[DarkJedi]

I had some really great help with that!! It looks just like my saber too... =) And thanks... :blush:

Gun on the Ice Planet Zero


Lucifer: "Careful Baltar, you'll blow a circuit or a blood vessel as you humans call it. Really quite flimsy.."

Baltar: "I do not need a lesson in human anatomy."

Darn, you beat me to it.

[bsg1fan1975]

Gun on Ice Planet Zero:

Leda: "To have Croft and me in the same place invites disaster."

Starbuck or Boomer: "You don't like him?"

Leda: "I'm married to him!"

[jewels]

bsgfan: that's a great one!

This is thanks to Mike from Oz/ Last Battlestar, I've always liked this interchange, simply states the resilience of the human spirit:

Apollo: 'Let's go home'
Starbuck: 'Some home. A piece of metal in the middle of nowhere'
Apollo: 'Sure beats just plain nowhere! Let's go in....'

[originalsinner]

THAT lucifer what a card!!!!!!

[originalsinner]

After crash landing on the Planet STARBUCK: awwww aww aw aw oh oooohh headache oh oh, headache thats wonderfull... pain i love you at least im not dead, not yet

[shiningstar]

Cryswimmer that line always broke me up!

[SeoulWind]

I always liked Starbuck's line to Cassie in Saga after she explains about the Etori sect 7 year sunstorm mating ritual:

"No wonder those little buggers are such good card players..."

Mark

[bsg1fan1975]

Magnificent Warriors

Apollo: "thank the Lords, I just couln't see myself calling her mother!"

[ViperTech]

I realize I've already given a few, but I just found another I love. It's from "The Living Legend" about Cain being back in Cassie's life.

Boxey: Poor Starbuck. Oh well, he still has Athena...
and Miriam, and Noday...and...

Apollo: Will you stop! And who asked you to listen?

Boxey: (Smile)

[Aeneas]

Favorite line? Too many to count! I for one loved the exchanges between Baltar and Lucifer. "Gun on Ice Planet Zero"(watching the DVD right now--like I do on any given snow day:cool: ) has some of the best. For example:

Baltar: The probe on the planet's surface... It was destroyed?

Lucifer: Not exactly...

Baltar(clearly enraged) NOT EXACTLY!!!

Lucifer: Control yourself, my friend. You'll blow a circuit! Or I believe you call it a "blood vessel." Really quite flimsy compared to...

Baltar(still p.o.ed) I DO NOT NEED A LESSON IN HUMAN ANATOMY!

[bsg1fan1975]

LPOTG

Athena: "All I did was smile"

[spot778]

Classics all

The ones that do it for me are anytime Adama and usually Tigh are talking about the Gods of Kobol, I just can't see how they can say that stuff with a straight face.

And if there's a BSG drinking game, every time Adama says "Even now..." has got to be worth something.

[shiningstar]

LOL Bsgfan I had forgotten about that one :thumbsup: :D

[spot778]

Aha there is one (http://www.ringthis.com/tv_drinking_games/batlstar.htm)

hee hee, sorry if this is common knowledge but it's the first time I've seen it :D

[TommyBoy70]

I found it quite humorous when Starbuck and Co. were on the ice planet, and encountered the clones, a departing Starbuck has three identical beautiful blonde clones to kiss and he turns to Apollo and says "imagine the possibilities" :muffit:

[Muffit]

That's a good one too TommyBoy! And welcome to Colonial Fleets! :)
