- 0:00A Raptor docks at the secondary storage airlock as the evacuation team prepares to board.
- 0:39Adama embraces and kisses Roslin before she leaves.

- 3:56The airlock confrontation reaches its cliffhanger here.
Battlestar Galactica put an evacuation and a refusal to leave at the centre of its four-upload week. In "Escape and the Final Stand | Battlestar Galactica", Roslin and Baltar board a Raptor while Adama stays aboard his ship, with Tigh beside him and mutineers cutting through the doors.
The scene from The Oath makes room for a goodbye kiss before returning to rifles and orders from CIC to destroy the departing craft. Edward James Olmos's Adama and Michael Hogan's Tigh give the confrontation its personal weight: the colonel isn't about to abandon his old friend. The clip reached roughly 25,000 views, the largest audience for a new upload this week. Viewers discuss the cliffhanger, compare rewatch memories and ask why everyone couldn't leave together.
The newer "Cylon Ambushes Causing Chaos | Battlestar Galactica" is drawing views faster now. Its compilation crosses franchise eras, bringing together Kobol, Starbuck's encounters and attacks on the fleet's food supply. Elsewhere, the channel revisited Kara's tribunal vote in Collaborators and Anders's urgent surgery in No Exit. An older Galactica 1980 comedy compilation offers a considerably lighter alternative, complete with baffling payphones and Earth shopping.
Subscribers were unchanged over the week, while daily views are modestly above their usual level. Across the week, the channel drew about 561,000 views, the most among its nearby-sized TV peers. Channel 4 Food and Psych Official also have busier-than-usual daily audiences, but Galactica's strongest individual momentum currently belongs to those ambushes and that barricaded airlock.
