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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

…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. [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
