As we continue through the Christmas break, we’re joined by the Very Rev. Dr. Jerome B. Wichelns (or the “Very Jerry” as he calls himself) for an enlightening discussion regarding religion and philosophy in Galactica. Besides serving as an Episcopal priest, Dr. Wichelns recently retired from teaching philosophy at the college level. Highlights: We explore [...]
According to the Battlestar Wiki, at one point in the series the priest Elosha delivers a sermon in Sanskrit, an ancient language of the Indian subcontinent. While trying to figure out how Eastern religion might play into the BSG world and why the writers would choose Sanskrit, especially with a people whose religion is predominantly [...]
First of all, thanks to those of you who submitted the fact that you’re not seeing Podcast #21 listed under the search page on iTunes. I’m not seeing it now, either. What’s strange is that the ‘cast is showing up correctly in the raw feed, and those of you who’ve subscribed via iTunes should automatically [...]
During the 4-week break I find my thoughts about Galactica wandering back to Baltar. We’ve seen that the Cylon are more than willing to return him to the fleet to gain a tactical advantage over the humans regarding the E.O.J., but is this just another way to get rid of him? Have the Cylon figured [...]
Cavatar writes: “The Number 3 never set off the nuke on New Caprica after Baltar found Hera, and if the Cylons left New Caprica after the humans fled, then it might be safe to assume that they have no reason to return. I bring this up because my question is: Did all the humans make [...]
Pike has risen to our “alternate season three intro music” challenge with a quite funny take on the Cylons’ “evolution.”
Anyone else wanna give it a shot?
Wow. When we first sat around before season three and said, “Wouldn’t it be cool to do a podcast about the story and characters to compliment all the great ‘casts out there about news” I never imagined that it would become what GWC is today. But we’re just a small part of GWC. The real [...]
We’re going into BSG withdrawal; Friday just doesn’t seem right without a new installation of the show. We recharge our batteries by chatting with famous online political organizer — and creator of FrakParty.com — Zack Exley about season three so far. Highlights: We wonder when Roslin will ever actually be elected by vote, speculate on [...]
Maybe it’s just late, but listener/commenter The 13th Cylon posted this comment (tongue-in-cheek) that had me rolling, so I thought I’d share for those who might have missed it under Audra’s “You Chose Wisely…” post:
“Well, if somewhere in the Book of Pithia it says “the Chosen One once danced naked with porno magazines in his parent’s [...]
I’m pretty sure — based on what I saw in last week’s episode and the great discussion on the podcast post — that the Eye is indeed related to the supernova. As Gaeta says, the chances of all the participants and events (including the supernova) coinciding seem pretty astronomical. (Groan.) But while I’m convinced that [...]
Ok, maybe I’m thick – it is a bit late. I’m hoping one of you awesome free thinkers will tell me I missed it or have my thinking backwards. In order to get to the planet they had to do this whole big jumping maneuver with pilots dying and ships getting lost.  How did they get out of [...]
Boxytheboxed writes: “What if the toasters weren’t the ones that made the skinjobs, perhaps it was the hybrids? The entire tech for the cylons seem robotic in nature – the toasters could have created the basestars and raiders (in Jupiter the raiders to the planet looked very much like toasters). I think the toasters created the hybrids, [...]
