Latest revision as of 06:28, 14 July 2024

This page is silly.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.


This page relates to heavy drinking (both of characters and wiki contributors) as a result of gaffes from the Re-imagined Series.
For a drinking game related to the Original Series, see External links below.
Finally, for information that will improve gnashing of your teeth or suicidal tendencies, please watch "Galactica 1980."


Bottoms up, Colonel.

Other TV shows have had drinking games adapted from the venerable "Hi, Bob!" game, among others. The new "Battlestar Galactica" series has sadly failed to stop Battlestar Wiki's contributors from doing the same after noticing repeated plot points, parallels to current events, characterizations, and other silliness.

You might consider creating your own Cylon Shooters for use in the game by following the recipe given by actors Grace Park and Tahmoh Penikett.

Take a drink every time...

Someone talks to an "imaginary friend"...

...Colonel Saul Tigh...

"Consumption of [certain] beverages...may cause health problems."

...Ellen Tigh...

...Kara Thrace...

    • Take a bonus drink if it is by trying kill a Cylon himself
      • Finish the drink completely if he tries to kill the same Cylon he expressed sympathy for in a previous episode.
  • ...agrees with, argues with, deposes, or kisses President Roslin.
  • ...appears on screen sporting a moustache.
    • Take a bonus drink when you see him finally shave that frakking thing off!
  • ...does something "captainly," like crushing walnuts in his hand or building a model ship.
  • ...uses military action to resolve a situation.
  • ...makes a reckless or stupid command decision.
  • Finish your drink completely when, not if, Adama ultimately relents, echoing that woman's words to his officer(s).
  • ...Rolls a "Hard Six"
  • ...tells people to do their job.
    • Bonus drinks if he's told the frak off, perhaps in not so many words.
  • ...breaks the model ship, or allows it to get in the position to be broken ("Maelstrom," "Sine Qua Non").

  • ...Fraks the wrong Number Eight, while his Eight is watching (TRS: "Someone to Watch Over Me")


...Chief Tyrol...

...Dr. Cottle disrespects authority...

...Zarek makes a gambit for power...

...a copy of Number Six...

...is introduced as a separate entity...

...dies...

...becomes violent or threatens violence...

Kablooey!

Take two bonus drinks if she goes nuclear.
