Fight The Ko-Dan Armada — For Real!

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

As we discussed at length in DTA Podcast #1, we all ran out of the theater after seeing The Last Starfighter hoping to find a Starfighter game in the arcade — so we could blow our little hometowns home planet forever. Well, now you can have a Starfighter game of your very own — but [...]

Caption Contest / Great Interview

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

GWC listener TighGetsPunchedALot swiped this image from Galactica.TV’s awesome interview with Gary Hutzel, visual effects supervisor on the re-imagined BSG series. The interview contains all sorts of interesting information about the process designers followed to create the new/old CGI’d cylons, but as you can see, GWC listeners had a bit more fun coming up with [...]

Nicki Clyne Sings

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

If you’re not a regular GWC forum reader, you may have missed out on this great find: BSG’s own Nicki Clyne singing “Tainted Love” at the Syndey Supanova convention this year. And while her vocal performance might be a tiny bit off, you’ve got to give her mad props for an enthusiastic performance — 90% [...]

BSG Re-Watch Schedule Changes

Sunday, October 28th, 2007

Since we’re officially waiting until April for new post-Razor Galactica, we decided to “unpack” the re-watch schedule a bit, giving each episode its own week instead of stacking up two-part episodes. We’ve updated the schedule in the official calendar over in the forum.
Immediately — GWC “immediately,” not Sci-Fi “immediately” — this means that next week’s [...]

GWC Podcast #69

Sunday, October 28th, 2007

We discuss this week’s action-packed ’sode, jump on the first half of the season two-point-five cliffhanger, and (as always) take a number of listener calls. Highlights: we discuss the chances of Lil’ Adama landing (by choice?) in the same building with the gen-one Cylon, enjoy seeing the world briefly from a first-Cylon POV, wonder if [...]

No BSG Until April?

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

If you haven’t read this LA Times Blog shocker yet, take a look. Just as we suspected, “2008″ doesn’t necessarily mean January. Apparently it means “April.” From the Times Blog:
“Ronald D. Moore, the executive producer who runs “Battlestar Galactica,” is gearing up for the long goodbye by taking on a new task. He will step [...]

GWC Podcast #68

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

This week’s rewatch episode, Downloaded, marks a turning point for the series in many ways. Add to that a killer Razor Flashback and a season four trailer and we’ve got a lot to talk about. Highlights: we wrangle ’round about young Adama’s blue contacts, notice his suspiciously clean Viper, marvel at how real the old-style [...]

Thanks For All The Fish!

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

I hate traveling. Leaving my home-base area is pretty much the last thing on my list of stuff I want to do. Life however does not allow for me to be a hermit which is how the entire GWC crew headed down to Maker Faire in Austin this weekend.
While setting up at the fair grounds [...]
