The Fairer Sex

Sunday, September 24th, 2006

While reviewing some older episodes the other day I made an observation. All the cylon females are smoking hot and all the cylon males are, well, kinda geeky looking (except Brother Cavil who is just cool and doesn’t count).
Is this a cylon observation of the human race? Did they think looks were more important for the [...]

Starbuck’s “Special Purpose”

Sunday, September 24th, 2006

OK, I couldn’t resist a little poke at The Jerk.  Forgive me my strange sense of humor.
Seriously, though, as Audra mentioned below, Leoben is the cylon Starbuck “waterboarded” back in the season one eposode Flesh and Bone.  As usual I’m having trouble remembering Leoben’s exact phrase, but he essentially told Kara that she would play a [...]

Season Three Trailer

Sunday, September 24th, 2006

Last night I saw the trailer for Season 3 again, but this time I noticed a few new shots - and one looked like Starbuck and Lee looking at each other pretty close up and pretty intensely. Their faces were almost touching. I wonder if Anders knows about this. Starbuck’s got a good thing going [...]

Starbuck’s Mini-Me?

Sunday, September 24th, 2006

In one of the trailers for Season 3, we see Leoben Conoy (the Cylon who Starbuck had tortured in the Season 1 episode “Flesh and Bone) holding a little blonde-haired girl and telling her, “This is Kara, your mother.” Leoben’s wearing a colonial uniform and holding the child as if it is his own, and [...]

Sharon vs. Boomer

Saturday, September 23rd, 2006

In Grace Park Q&A Part 1 — which can be found in the video/features section of the SciFi website — Ms. Park answers some questions from fans.  When one fan refers to “G-Boomer” and “C-Boomer,” she interprets that to mean “Galactica Boomer” and “Cylon Boomer.”  I’d guess the fan really meant “Caprica Boomer,” but what [...]

Tom is planetside, may the gods help them.

Saturday, September 23rd, 2006

In confusion there is profit. Where there’s profit, there is Tom Zarek. While re-watching the season three trailer today I was doing my normal freeze framing and caught a glimpse of Zarek on the planet standing in a small group with the Laura Roslin.
I had a hunch that Zarek would be where he feels there [...]

Ellen Tigh is Incredible…

Saturday, September 23rd, 2006

…in her ability to absolutely frak up everything and everyone she gets near. In the episode “Sacrifice,” (which was the most recent in our marathon to refresh our memories for Season 3), Ellen, apparently along with half of Galactica’s crew, is in the lounge on Cloud Nine. She’s sipping a cocktail and flirting with Lee Adama. [...]

What’s coming up in the next webisode?

Friday, September 22nd, 2006

One of the things I really love about BSG is the way it renders the world in shades of gray — leaving most of its TV sci-fi competition looking like 8-bit black & white graphics on an Apple II.  It’s those shades of gray that lead me to believe that the Cylons are changing their tactics in [...]

The Rules of Engagement

Friday, September 22nd, 2006

In response to Sean’s post: “Are Cylons More Human than Human?”
It’s obviously true that the Cylons have shown no compassion, restraint, or respect for human rules of war when fighting humans. I’m not sure the Cylons have no rules of war- that is, they probably have rules that say they shouldn’t destroy their own people, [...]

Where’d we get the music in the podcast intro?

Friday, September 22nd, 2006

I just wanted to mention in passing that we actually created the little “blip” of music you hear at the beginning of the podcast ourselves.  A couple of people who’ve heard the podcast have mistaken the intro for music taken from the show, but it’s actually Audra on her drum kit (and a guitar, briefly) and a [...]

Are the Cylons More Human Than Human?

Thursday, September 21st, 2006

Today in the Podcast we came across an interesting topic. What are the limits in the war? Though I think Chuck will vehemently disagree with me on this, I am pro “kick cylon tail” by whatever means available. I don’t think mass attempted genocide with the follow-up of robbing reproductive organs of human women and [...]

GWC Podcast #2

Thursday, September 21st, 2006

We just watched webisode 6 as well as the extremely cool new season 3 trailer, and as usual we have a lot to say about it.  Highlights: Audra’s theory about Helo’s name (and how it might signal his future in BSG), a great discussion about the future of the resistance on New Caprica, and lots of [...]
