There's so much amazing music in BSG - to the point of where in some places they started cutting the show to the music, in some cases (like AATWT here) blurring the line between diagetic and non-diagetic music. And the group of musicians he built met the challenges of the ambitious score. For the culmination of the Watchtower themes, check out "Kara's Coordinates" The musical pinnacle of the show is the Diaspora Oratorio , though.

"The Cylon Intro" is actually the Song "Heeding the Call", where four of the final five Cylons find out that they're Cylons, while they're reciting the first few lines of "All Along the Watchtower". The song is what woke them. It's one of the rare moments in Movie/Television where the music itself becomes kind of a character in the show. The final episode of the show ends with the Jimi Hendrix version. You should really watch it. It's great. Although the story drags a bit in the 3rd and 4th season, the character development is awesome. And the show doesn't paint black and white there's a lot of grey areas, where you'd ask yourself 'how would I act in that situation'? One of my top 3 shows of all time.

If more die-hard BSG fans out here are into podcasts & want to hear fantastic insights into the filming, comments by directors, script writers etc: look up & listen to the podcast "Battlestar Galacticast", hosted by Mark Bernarden (a screen writer for other projects & ardent BSG fan) and Tricia Helfer (the actress playing number 7 = the blonde Cylon).

I just re watched it for the first time since it came out, with my gf who'd never seen it and isn't into sci-fi. She was alternately laughing and crying by the end, in love with all of the characters, and was raving about it to all her friends. It's a really great show, and the music is just one of many great things about it. People often get it mixed up with Stargate and are dissuaded from watching it because of that association, which I get because Stargate was lame. There's no connection. Watch Battlestar Galactica, Doug. Treat yourself.

When I saw the reaction was for the Battlestar Galactica version I had to listen to your review I'm glad I watched and you didn't disappoint. I'm going to share a little bit of what you need to watch for, without giving you any spoilers. First of all I'm old enough that I watched Battlestar Galactica in the late 70s which was freaking awesome but I was 11 years old and heavily influenced by Star Wars. The show was cheesy but that's not how I remembered it. For me my brother and my best friend it was our universe. The reboot that this song is from is what I envisioned Battlestar as is a kid. It wasn't, the Battlestar is a serious and dark sci-fi / drama. When you go to watch Battlestar make sure you watch the miniseries first. Episode one is actually episode 3 and it will make no sense whatsoever if you don't watch the miniseries first. That is extremely important. The miniseries introduces you to all these significant characters. And it sets up the entire story. The best written show of all time as West Wing, Newsroom is close, both of those are written by Aaron Sorkin who is probably the best writer in Hollywood. Battlestar Galactica is well written enough to be considered one of the greatest dramas of all time not just sci-fi. A great example of this is season 3 episode 4 the Adama maneuver. There is a lot of sci-fi that has Space Battles, this episode has the best space battle strategy of any show or movie in history and it will take your breath away. I don't want to give any more information because I want you to be watching for it but not aware of what is going on until you see it. Now, for the music you just reviewed. It isn't just one episode. This music is an integral part of a reveal that takes a very long time to come to fruition. It is so extraordinary well done and interlaced through a number of episodes that it is Epic Mastery of writing, composing, acting and cinematography. It is what sets Battlestar Galactica apart from almost any other Sci-Fi TV show. I'm not exaggerating, I've watched a lot of sci-fi over the last 45 years. It is important towards the end of the series as well. So as you're watching it and given the fact that you are a composer you will notice the music probably without me telling you. Hopefully someday you can post a video with your reaction to the entire series and the relationship between the music and the show. I would absolutely love to see that. And one final omage to the old show, in the miniseries they actually have a scene that plays the original theme music from the show in the late 70s, that made me smile when I saw it.

Highly recommend BSG based on what you've said. Bear's music is an ever-present and integral part of the series (except the pilot miniseries). Additionally, BSG was co-helmed by Ronald D Moore, who you already know as the executive producer of Outlander. AND, icing on the cake, Ronald D Moore got his start as a writer for Star Trek: TNG and Star Trek: DS9. He was a writer for Star Trek: Voyager briefly, but left over creative differences-including the lack of realism with which the series treated the challenges that would face an isolated ship out in space. Part of his approach to BSG was to apply that realism he felt was lacking in Voyager, with episodes addressing the need to find water, fuel, and other resources.

As for bsg, the beauty of the reveal of the song was quite something. That intro you listened to was woven into one or two episodes and then as an intricate plot reveal occurred, so did the song (altho I'm guessing most older music fans will have picked it earlier).

Babylon 5 season 1 opening credits / main theme is up there with anything Bear M' has done - the musical themes of that piece are so in tune with the overall show and story line - not quite to the level of Kara's Coordinates and the infamous "it's in the frakkin ship" but still, pretty epic! 🙂

Just since you mentioned it: Bear is indeed performing, though the vox are his brother, Brendan. And speaking of that guitar: it's Steve Bartek! (Oingo Boingo)

So you've never watched battlestar galactica? Get on it Doug! There's a reason why it's commonly ranked #1 sci fi tv show of all time.

Considering you're a fan of Outlander, you should know that its creator, Ronald D Moore, is also the creator of this show as well. Just like Outlander, it has strong performances, prioritizes characters and the drama between them and blends in the scifi elements to make something truly special. I hope you'll watch it one day. I can't talk about the importance of this song to the show without spoilers (which I'll keep relatively minor) and yet I think they might be able to convince someone who is on the fence. SPOILERS You implied you didn't know what a Cylon was, so we'll start there. Cylons are machines that were created by humans and would eventually rebel, starting an interstellar war that ends in an armistice. Humans send a representative each year to meet and conduct peace talks, but the Cylons have never sent anyone and have not been seen in decades. The start of the series introduces the first humanoid Cylon who seduces a famous human scientist with the right access, allowing them to bypass humanity's defenses and bombard every human colony with nukes. Galactica is a battleship from the first Cylon war that has been turned into a museum and is on its last official hurrah before retirement. With few exceptions, the crew have never seen combat before, but suddenly become the only remaining combat-ready craft between the Cylons and the survivors of this attempted genocide. The show maintains a cat and mouse game throughout much of the early portions of the show as the characters learn how to deal with a new normal. The show has a large ensemble cast with strong character development throughout and periodically, motifs from this song are played. The viewer doesn't know the significance until the middle of the final episode of Season 3 where certain characters begin hearing the song themselves on the ship. The 'Cylon intro' part plays over their growing confusion, gradually getting louder until the characters hearing it can no longer get relief from the noise. Each independently tries to identify where it is coming from before eventually finding their way to each other, discovering that they are Cylons. This was one of the greatest water cooler moments on television and we had no idea where these characters would go from here or how other characters might react. This all happens over the span of several episodes, but later another character who has repressed memories of a difficult childhood reconnects with their past through the song as their father played it on the piano. The song lyrics have a number of real-world interpretations, including biblical and existential that are also used in interesting ways throughout the story.
