Though it’s not posted quite yet we did have a 6th podcast yesterday. I was very curious to know after the ‘cast what the recruitment poster outside the jail on New Caprica said. So as usual being the anal, have to know type of dude I am… I freeze framed and zoomed in to find [...]

In this special edition of GWC we respond to some calls from a listener.  Highlights: Starbuck’s “special” relationship with Tigh, Caprica Six and the resistance, and everyone’s favorite topic (at least when not confronted with it personally) — sex and love.

We received a call today reminding us that Sharon actually named her baby “Hera” — after the Greek goddess, we’d imagine.  In Podcast #5 we refer to her as “Isis.”  Technically, both of these names are correct as far as we can tell.  Though Sharon originally named her “Hera,” her name was changed to “Isis” [...]

Normally we try and keep the GWC blog clear of news and focused on the Galactica story and characters, but I wanted to let you know that we’ve carved out a bit of extra time tomorrow to sit down and respond to some of the comment calls we’ve received.  So, keep an eye out for [...]

Webisode nine was painfully short, but we can’t help but question the fate of Jammer.  Highlights: our predictions for webisode ten and how the webisodes will fit into season three, Laura Roslin’s responsibility for the current mess the colonies face, and a Top Gun reference you may not have considered.  Just three more days ’till [...]

Welp, I’m just going to come out and say it. I want some boom! Space action is what I crave. Vipers and raiders locked in mortal combat and some cool frack’n flying from the best both sides have to offer. Throw in some big guns from Basestars and Battlestars and that would be even better.

I’ve noticed that people who appear to be from certain ethnic backgrounds on BSG tend to be from the same original colonial planets, and I can’t help but be fascinated by the relationship between ethnicity in the show and in real life.
For instance, I think every character we’ve seen from Geminon is played by an [...]

I spend a lot of time here at GWC pointing out how similar the Cylons are to humans in terms of their capacity to think — and therefore their capacity to possibly (in some far, theoretical future) make peace with humans.  But, as I’ve said before, that’s not going to happen any time soon — [...]

I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. That is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant. Martin Luther King, Jr., accepting the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964
In digging up the quote by Dr. King I was trying to recall in our fourth podcast (see my [...]

There’s been a lot of talk about the creating and casting of strong female characters in BSG, but that’s not the only area where BSG has broken from the past to some extent.  Though religion plays a very important role in the show, not all the main characters are religious — and the other characters in [...]
