The biggest issue in A Measure of Salvation, IMHO, was the question of what makes us human — a question that’s core to BSG and has been addressed in many different ways in the show to date. Are we human because we can love? Because we hate? Because we can reproduce?
When Adama and Roslin stood [...]
OK, I’ll admit it. I was a little let down with the last BSG episode as well. (I say “as well” because I’ve seen the comments on the last few posts and the last podcast, and I know that a good number of you feel this way as well.)
One question, though: Wouldn’t almost anything feel [...]
“A Measure of Salvation” left us wondering how so many “coincidences” could really come to pass in one show. Highlights: Roslin’s mean streak, Baltar’s torture “escape,” Helo’s future, the “new” Lee, and the merits of having your own pet centurion.

Allow me a flight of fancy for just a sec. Imagine yourself a fresh new graduate of Cylon basic training. In the 20 seconds that tick by between your basic processing and your new career assignment you find your hopeful, gear-clanking mind wandering to your awesome new purpose in life.
Perhaps you’ll be a leader of [...]
I’ve noticed an interesting theme running through BSG - being trapped. It’s interesting how being trapped, held, or imprisoned - physically or psychologically - can affect people.
Some physical examples we see- Sharon in the cell on Galactica, Six (Gina) in same cell, Roslin in the brig, Lee in the brig when Adama is shot. Helo stuck on (Old) [...]
This is a special “in between” podcast to address some of the great comments you called in and posted to the blog. Look for the next full podcast Friday, and if this is your first visit to GWC, be sure and check out Podcast #13 to catch up and help this podcast make sense! Highlights: [...]
You’re Anders, you’ve just broken up with Starbuck and it’s your first day out in the fleet. This has got to be a different situation for the guy. No one is actively shooting at him. He’s a bright, honest guy that’s not afraid of hard work.
He’s gotta die.
There isn’t room for this guy in the [...]
“Torn” was a wild ride, finally addressing some of the questions we’ve all been asking for years, offering us insight in some areas — and just more questions in others. Highlights: We consider Baltar’s predicament, discuss Tigh’s future, muse about hybrids, speculate on Lee’s new rank, kid about Leoben’s “autumn” skin color, and sing you a variation [...]
Sorry for the delay! Don’t worry — we’re not disappearing. We simply delayed the recording of podcast #13 to make sure Audra could be here; She was out of pocket briefly.
Man, it’s been tough waiting, though. Torn was an incredible episode — the one we’ve been waiting for in so many ways. We all have [...]
Thanks to the commentors for all the great info- especially for filling in the details I spaced on in the podcast about Abraham’s sons - Isaac and Ishmael.
Now here’s an interesting one, if a bit of a long shot. The first line of Moby Dick is the famous “Call me Ishmael.” The first mate on [...]
I want to take a lead from a comment posted by Chris on the comments page for podcast #12:
In convincing Lee to abandon his father [Dualla] removes a central leader and a huge cadre of warriors in the death of New-Caprica. Leaving a fattened and weakened Lee to lead a civilian contingent.
There’s room for gobs of [...]
