Quote Of The Day

Though in war, you can only get killed once. In politics it can happen over and over.

President Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell), Battlestar Galactica, Season 1: Colonial Day

Kobol

The ancient temple a place of peace

Reading sacred scrolls

The prophecy of the ancient being spoken

Lords of Kobol

People coming to the altar to pray

Speaking from the creator

The Gods hearing, listening, are they there

A holy war is not what’s best

It is what is happening

Mans creation coming home to conquer

The full universe to roam

One day finding Earth at great sacrifice

Home at last.

You don’t always get what you wish for. But you get what you work for.

All Along The Watchtower – Battlestar Galactica Version

This is from the TV Show Battlestar Galactica from the Crossroads episode. Jimi Hendrix covered this in the 1960’s and was arranged for BSG by Bear McCreary.

This is from the actual episode where Lee “Apollo” Adama encounters Kara “Starbuck” Thrace who has returned from the dead so to speak.
