GWC Podcast #58

Sunday, August 12th, 2007

Home rocks!  Between BSG’s closest approach to the holodeck and Athena’s first “test,” this episode resonates even more in the rewatch.  Highlights: we talk constellations, explore Athena’s motives, mention how much we miss Elosha, welcome Helo back to the fleet, and punch like never before.  Yep, it was a long week, and we enjoyed getting [...]

United Colors of BSG

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

As you may know, I moonlight as a teacher when I’m not bustin’ Cylon(z), and one area of teaching I enjoy immensely is African American/Black studies. It’s a delicate and wonderful thing to have civil conversations among diverse groups of people about the things that make us different - and to what extent they play [...]

Share Your Answers To BSG’s “Small Questions”

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

Since we decided to push our “big questions” podcast back closer to the Razor release, we spent some of our time in the last podcast instead discussing some of the “small questions.”  We took a stab at answering them in the ‘cast, but truthfully your answers are as good as ours. 
If you have a minute, [...]

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

Here’s our late (but delivered as promised) latest ‘cast.  Highlights: We discuss The Farm in all its creepiness, finally table the ship business, make good on last week’s quarter bets (with Pike’s help), and, having postponed our “big questions” ‘cast until closer to the Razor release on some good advice from listeners, ask some “small” [...]

Dallas Meetup De-Briefing!

Sunday, August 5th, 2007

Thanks to Stevearino and his wife; Nick; and Gray (who drove all the way from Houston) for coming out to the GWC meetup Saturday night! We reveled in jokes, pop culture references, beer, and Indian food (hey, the “Irish” make a good tikka) and peeled off our GWC masks to reveal our true selves - Centurions! [...]

We’ve all set aside time to record tomorrow night, and you’ll get the podcast late tomorrow night. Or maybe early Tuesday morning depending on whether I’m [...]
