We’re always talking in the podcast about the kick-ass comments that our listeners post here at GWC.com. Damn, we’re lucky you take the time to send us all these great ideas!Â
I thought I’d take a minute and run down some of my personal favorites from the ones posted (or emailed) in the last few days:
On [...]
“Collaborators” answered a number of our questions from last week and managed to further deepen the backgrounds of our favorite characters. Highlights: Tom Zarek’s questionable motives and past, Tigh’s back-to-normal-but-not post-traumatic stress disorder, Baltar’s nude fainting couch appearance, and My Little Pony resurrection ships.

Humans don’t make great pets — and neither did the Cylon. However if you were to ever to try and convince a human to feel a certain way when they started off dead set against it, Starbuck would be the last person you should pick.
Still, it’s interesting that they Cylon seem to be fixated on her [...]
I just gotta say, I’m impressed with the Oracle-like qualities of the BSG fans who post here at the Watercooler! I truly did not believe Ellen Tigh knew the drink was poisoned, but many people wrote in to say that her confession followed by “I could really use a drink” was enough foreshadowing for them. [...]
There’s nothing at all wrong with the fact that we’ve all been totally geeking out over the last week or two, just breathing in the sweet air of sci-fi battle goodness. We could talk for an hour about the Galactica’s incredible arrival in Exodus, Pt. 2 — not to mention Pegasus’ save-the-day jump – but… Wait. We did [...]
We didn’t get a chance to spend nearly as much time on this in the last podcast as I’d have hoped, so I suspect it’ll pop up next time as well — but I couldn’t wait that long. What’s going to come of Tom Zarek?
I’ve always liked Tom more than I could really justify to [...]
You’ll have to excuse us for geeking out a bit on Exodus, Pt. 2 — one of Galactica’s best episodes to date. We promise to return to our normal full-on predictions and speculation next time! Highlights: Tigh’s sacrifice, Baltar’s almost-but-not-quite martyrdom, Starbuck’s mindfrack, and the coolest moment in on-screen sci-fi since the Millenium Falcon arrived [...]
Great stuff from Exodus Part 2. I must say that they took a few twists that I didn’t expect. I was dead wrong about Ellen living but they handled it very well. I wonder how Saul will fit into things as the show progresses.
I feel that he will still serve in duties aboard the Galactica; [...]
Poor, poor Ellen’s fall;
Wife of Saul, lover of all.
Will tainted be her beauty
from loathesome skinjob VD?
What will say Colonel Tigh
If his wife’s condemned to die?
Will he poke out another eye?
Or save her from the Cy-
lons? If Ellen ends up dead,
Who’ll give Cavil head?
Alone he’ll off to bed
Dreaming of Caprica Six instead.

(Hey, no one said it’d be [...]
The appearance of the Oracle in recent BSG episodes sparked a lot of interesting speculation in podcast #10, and I realized I didn’t know much about the origins of the Oracle in Greek mythology (which seems to be the basis for a lot of the colonial religion in BSG).
The following is from the definition of [...]
There sure wasn’t much leaving going on in “Exodus, Pt. 1″ tonight, was there? Highlights: Speculation on Ellen’s fate as betrayer, the purpose and significance of the “oracle,” the possible outcome of D’Anna’s “crisis of faith,” Gaeta’s existance as free thinker vs. collaborator, and a mental image of Scar waking up in the goo. How would [...]
The last episode was simply a good story, very moving and sincere. Upon reflection – okay upon watching it again, my favorite part I think is the speech that Adama gives the crew right before they are to go into battle. His words “served with such men and women†and talk about honor and the [...]
