First of all, we’d like to wish all of you who’ve stuck it out with us for the last year Happy Birthday.  Indeed, GWC will be one year old tomorrow.  We were saving the new design for tomorrow, but we ran into some issues that forced us to go ahead with it.  So here ’tis.
You’ll [...]

Please note: we’re in the process of adjusting our hosting service and Galactica Watercooler may experience brief outages. But don’t worry — we’re not going anywhere. We’re just working out some kinks to bring you the first of some of the planned GWC site upgrades.
Update #1: We’re deploying some of the changes. We’re poor, [...]

It’s week twenty-four of our planned off-season re-watch of the entire “re-imagined” BSG canon, and it’s time to move on to the season 2.5  episodes “Epiphanies.”  So why not join us here for the GWC online frak party?  There’s room for everyone, though you’ll have to bring your own snacks…
Feel free to jump in at any point [...]

Remember: This approval poll applies to the current GWC [...]

In case you didn’t catch this in comments on this holiday weekend’s other BSG bad news post, here’s the latest rumor: Sci-Fi might sit on the final ten episodes of season four until February of 2009.
The rumor, originally posted on AICN, originated at DragonCon where an attendee says Aaron Douglas and Jamie Bamber dropped this [...]

Mr. Lucas fired up the tractor and hitched up the bandwagon by choosing I, II, and III over VII, VIII, and IX, and it seems like everyone with a hand in long-running franchise script development has climbed aboard since.
