My wife and I are in the process of watching the Battlestar Galactica reboot (on Netflix), and we were very surprised to find this alternate cut of the dramatic reveal of the ‘final five’ Cylons. This version has never been seen before and contains a totally unexpected twist—one that will surprise even the most ardent fans of the series!

This video contains material that is owned by the producers of Battlestar Galactica.
It has been produced under the ‘fair use’ provisions of United States copyright law.

He holds a bachelor’s degree in Public Administration from George Mason University. He loves Pink Floyd and can play the bass guitar . . . sort-of. He’s a husband, pet lover, amateur radio operator, and classic AMC/Jeep enthusiast.
