Ever notice that the Cylon can recognize each other before they have said anything to one another? This strikes me as a bit odd. I know there are arguments that would say it’s simply written that way for ease of storytelling, but you have to admit it is a bit odd.
On more than one occasion [...]

Since Sci-Fi stiffed us for a new episode this week, we invited guest Martha Harbison from the magazine Popular Science to sit in with us and share some of her ideas about biological machines and Cylon viruses.  Highlights: We discuss why baby blood probably isn’t a realistic cure-all, argue about centurion batteries, bet quarters on [...]

An interesting thing came up in the podcast tonight. Ok a lot of “interesting” things came out of the cast tonight, but I think one issue that stuck home with me is the ghosts in the light that appeared before D’anna when she was popped by the bullet-head.
There are several theories running around the net [...]

In between eating Turkey, watching BSG DVDs, and generally laying about today, Audra, Sean, and I would like to offer our thanks to those of you who’ve made GWC so much fun.  Your comments, ideas, and inspiration keeps us excited about making the ‘cast (and posting to the blog) every week.
We’re all having a happy [...]

“Hero” eschewed the main story arc in favor of some serious character development.  Highlights: We discuss Adama’s culpability and D’Anna’s dreams, marvel at the can of whoop-a@# Tigh opens up (and his recovery), and shake our heads at the “Baltar sandwich.”

I’ve seen some discussion of how it’s a bit unrealistic that Tigh wouldn’t tell Adama about what happened to Ellen.  I have something to say regarding that, but let me first ask that everyone be a bit kind as I’m going to relate something a bit personal.  (Not that our community here isn’t generally kind [...]

Has anyone else wondered why D’Anna Biers has an accent - or at least, an accent that is different from the one used by most of the other characters in BSG? “Well,” you might say, “It’s obvious: Lucy Lawless is from New Zealand, so she doesn’t sound like the American and Canadian actors.”But Jamie Bamber [...]

As promised, this is the post for those of you who’d like to post your comments in real time during tonight’s episode.  So, if you’re not already attending a Frak Party join us here for the BSG online ‘party.  Or hell, even if you are watching with friends, post their comments, too!  There’s room for [...]

Ok, I’ll admit it — I was raised Lutheran.  At one point during confirmation class, the pastor decided to give us an “exam” which consisted of one question only:  What is God?
My answer — “a small bit of fuzz in the universe’s navel” — didn’t seem nearly as insightful and entertaining to him as it [...]

There’s been a lot of really good discussion here in comments regarding the colonial attempt at genocide in A Measure of Salvation, and I thought I’d run down some of the arguments along with some of the commenters espousing them.  Since I’m exerpting, you can click on the commenter’s name to see the entire comment [...]

Dante once described Smokey and the Bandit III as “the best Burt-less movie ever made.”  Might we describe A Measure of Salvation as the best “Chief-less” BSG episode?
Kidding aside — where’s Aaron Mr. Douglas?  I know he doesn’t need to appear in every episode (and I realize that he did show up briefly in the [...]

It seems that D’anna Biers (Number 3) has found love in Hera/Isis, just as the Oracle on New Caprica predicted. But where is the baby? It seems like the baby is a significant part of D’anna’s newfound love, and based on much speculation here on the blog and in podcasts, love could be an invaluable [...]
