History Awesome / BattlestarGalactica1978

* The Cylon ambush is almost perfectly executed, and ends a 1,000 year war in a decisive victory.

* This exchange:

* Apollo and Starbuck, standing up to and later taking on Count Iblis near the end of "War of the Gods". [[spoiler: Even if they both technically lost to him]].

* From "Gun on Ice Planet Zero", Thane--who up to this point was a selfish JarkAss--was rather impressive in his last act of defiance before he died. Managing to blow up several Cylons while they tried to interrogate him was pretty awesome.

** The scene were the two Basestars engage Pegasus. The Pegasus launches all her missiles at the basestars at point blank range. The Basestars go up in a ''huge'' explosion, blinding the Starbuck and Apollo, awesome.

-->'''Boomer:''' Colonel, Blue Squadron reporting for duty, sir.
-->'''Tigh:''' Lieutenant, obviously you can't even stand.
-->'''Boomer:''' A Viper is flown from the seated position, sir.
* When Assualt 9 and the other prisoners stand up to the Enforcers in "The Long Patrol".

** How about two vipers taking on "two" Cylon Basestar's so the Pegasus can get through them to Baltar's?
* From "The Man With Nine Lives", despite the fact that they're pretty much evil, the Borellian Nomen where kinda awesome in their own way.

* From "The Lost Planet of the Gods, Part 2", the fighter pilots are stricken with a virus, forcing inexperienced shuttle pilots to fly the Vipers. When a battle erupts and it looks like the Colonials don't have enough force to win, Col. Tigh turns on the bridge to find a group of the I’ll pilots standing there. This exchange follows:

* From "Saga of a Star World", Adama and Tigh just before the Ambush at Cimtar begins: "We cannot launch, Colonel; it has been expressly forbidden...However, this might be an excellent time for 'battlestations drill'...Sound the alert, Colonel!"
** Adama to the Quorum of the Twelve at Carrilon: "If you've come here to turn your backs on the principles of our fathers and of the Lords of Kobol from whom all colonies evolved, you do so with my utter CONTEMPT!"

-->'''Cylon Leader:''' "All fighters destroyed? How? We took them by surprise!"
-->'''Random Cylon:''' "Apparently not as much of a surprise as we thought."

--> '''Apollo:''' Everybody out!
-->'''Council Member:''' Nobody move! I'm in charge here!

-->'''Council Member:''' [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Do as he says! He's in charge!]]

* The Legendary Commander Cain, he even has his own AwesomeMusic, which plays throughout the "Living Legend" two-parter.

** So a random toaster guard spoke back and lived. And then the Leader was destroyed. Also pretty [[FunnyMoments funny]].
