When BSG finished up, they gave us a beautiful hardbound book with incredible behind the scenes shots of day to day life on the show. One of my favorite pages are on set shots from the episode “Unfinished Business.” I thought it was an incredible out of character show.
Even when the crew of the “G” gets a chance to let their guard down, it’s painful.
Punch Duck Love. Punchy.

That was such an unexpected, and fantastic, episode. Thank you for sharing this with us, Doug– I’d LOVE to take a flip through that book sometime!
All I can see is Katee Sakhoff in a sport-T. Everything else is just a blur.
Jez, look at the biceps on Eddie. What a badass guy!
It sure looks like they had fun with this one! Good times to look back on for ‘em, eh?
I haven’t watched the BSG disk from Season 2 that I’ve had for a few days because I want to watch FTETTM all the way through – it’s just AWESOME!! I just finished “Spider” and hated to watch it sail off into the black all alone! I loved the music and the early sci fi artwork at the beginning…I’ll be his Venus of the stars!
I’ll be watching the next one tonight, after turning in my homework. — Next disk comes tomorrow. I bumped up to the three at a time plan on Netflix to keep up with both series! VERY good stuff!! Neglecting the rest of my life. 
Haha! I knew you’d love it Dea! Welcome to the club! We really need our own FTETTM mission patch.
Helo vs. everyone else in cast
winner: Helo
Watch out for the Sackhoff Sweep Kick!
Mmmmm, Helo…
Gads…to look like Jamie Bamber. That’s one ripped dude. Thought this was a great episode!
What a fantastic gift to have been given at the end of the series! I can imagine that looking through it is bittersweet.
Great shots from an awful episode!
Awfully great, for me!
Gotta agree with Doug. I thought it was one of the best episodes of the series.
I third the motion- one of the choicer bits, especially the extended cut.
I’m sure it wasn’t as bad as the boxing episode of Voyager. I don’t remember much about this ep besides Adama letting Tyrol get one in. Looks like it was a lot of fun to do and I can imagine a few mock sparring matches when the cameras weren’t running.
In the pic of Starbuck second from the right at the top, is that line on her stomach a scar from The Farm?
It wasn’t like “Tsunkatse” save for the obvious linkage…and I believe that scar is meant as exactly the continuity you’re suggesting.
I quite liked Tsunkatse actually, any old excuse to see Jeffrey Combs playing another Trek bad guy. But the Voyager boxing episode I was referring to was “The Fight”, where Chakotay has a boxing match in his mind. The only good thing was that it had Boothby.
I just bought the series box set today. Came with a Cylon figure… personally a Viper model would have been way cooler.
As for this episode. I thought it was yet another good one. Then again, it seemed like every Friday night for a while my friends would say “best episode yet”.
Alright, first, before I before I begin this post, I will apologize to all the Voyager fans…
After listening to ‘Heeding the Call’ and ‘All Along the Watchtower’ it makes me think how much better BSG was to Voyager. First in that the Galactica would sustain damage while the Voyager would look like it just left Spacedock.
Second. Character development. Half the crew were rebel Maquis. Did we ever hear from them? No. Unless the story called for it, then we had to see how they were inferior to Starfleet officers. Had Voyager followed the AWESOME BSG story, not only would we have seen the Maquis do their thing, but eventually put down. In other words, actual conflict between the two crews.
I think my favorite element would be the real world military aspect brought to the show. As a sailor assigned to the USS Fitzgerald DDG-62 (which was cool enough to enter BSG history as the “DDG-62″ engines on a stealth fighter). I love how close this show represented the real military. Every Friday I would think, “This is extremely close … if we actually had FTL travel.”
