Reader Theory: Tyrol for President?

Wednesday, March 14th, 2007

Cavatar writes:
“The Chief has, even if he does not know it, found himself in a position of great opportunity. He is now the Union leader for EVERY working human left alive. He is also a part of the working military… Now I don’t know how long Roslin’s term is.  If we assume that they use a [...]

Help Us Choose Season Two Episodes for Commentary

Tuesday, March 13th, 2007

Here’s the poll for selecting the season two episodes for off-season GWC commentary tracks. 
This works just like the season one poll (which you should vote in if you haven’t already): vote for the episode for which you’d most like to hear a GWC commentary below.  We’ll leave the poll active for a while, then plan [...]

Laura Roslin - Friend or Foe?

Monday, March 12th, 2007

I have thought a great deal of my recent underlying issues with President Roslin. The last few episodes I tend to look at her in a different light than I used to. I find everything she says suspect and I always find myself looking for a hidden meaning to her actions. Also being a bit mystified [...]

GWC Podcast #33

Monday, March 12th, 2007

In “The Son Also Rises” we learn a bit more about Baltar’s upcoming trial and meet his very interesting lawyer.  Highlights: We question Baltar’s lawyer’s motivations for taking the case, wonder whether he might be a Cylon, try to understand the role of the captains in the “tribunal,” and ponder bad Hemingway puns.  We’re joined [...]

Weekly Presidential Approval Poll: March 12, 2007

Monday, March 12th, 2007

Here’s the new weekly presidental approval poll.  Remember — even if you voted last week, you’ll want to vote again on this poll as this is a weekly feature and the results will vary from week to week.  Let your opinion be heard (for free)!
Do you approve or disapprove of the way Laura Roslin is [...]

A Writer’s Responsibility?

Sunday, March 11th, 2007

In the comments for Podcast #32, Armando asked a question that I think can support its own thread:
“…what responsibility, if any, does an artist have to his audience? Do Ron Moore, David Eick and the rest of the creative team at BSG really need to worry about alienating audience members through their story choices? Artistic [...]

GWC Frak Party: “The Son Also Rises”

Sunday, March 11th, 2007

If you’re not already attending a Frak Party — or hosting one! – join us here for the GWC online ‘party.  Or hell, even if you are watching with friends, post their comments, too!  There’s room for everyone, though you’ll have to bring your own snacks…
And, since we record the podcast right after the episode, we’ll [...]

Weekly Presidental Approval Poll: March 5, 2007

Friday, March 9th, 2007

As a new feature for the short remaining part of season three — and during the upcoming season four — we’re going to include a weekly presidential approval poll.  We’re starting a little late this week (because we just installed polling at GWC), but from here on out we’ll post the poll each Monday and [...]

Help Us Choose Season One Episodes for Commentary

Friday, March 9th, 2007

Based on your suggestions we’re planning to record full-length commentaries for two episodes for each of season one, season two, and season three.  These “commentaries” will differ from our standard podcasts in that we’ll actually record as we re-watch the episode.  The idea is that you can start the ‘cast along with the episode and [...]

Outro Music: “Here In CIC”

Tuesday, March 6th, 2007

For those who asked for the outro music from Podcast #32, here ’tis in 192k MP3 format:
Outro Music/Podcast #32: “Here In CIC”
The good news: Audra seems interested in doing some more of these during the off-season, so with any luck — and your encouragement — she’ll come up with some other good ideas for ‘em.  [...]

Starbuck’s Fate

Monday, March 5th, 2007

So while the Starbuck bomb still rings in my ears I am left pondering the fate of our intrepid space travelers. I am certain most or all of you have checked out the RDM podcast before you could go to sleep Sunday night. In all its scotch clinking goodness Ron expounds on the loss of [...]

GWC Podcast #32

Monday, March 5th, 2007

Wow.  “Maelstrom” will easily go down as the most significant BSG episode since the miniseries.  Highlights: We weigh creepy Leoben vs. non-creepy non-Leoben, (most importantly) run down all the Starbuck possibilities, briefly discuss Lee’s role in the upcoming Baltar trial, and debut Audra’s first outro music.
