With just one more week to the dramatic launch of BSG season four, we complete GWC’s epic three-season re-watch with Crossroads, Parts 1 and 2. Highlights: we note how it’s finally sunk in that we get new content next week, hear Audra’s thoughts on hair bashing, love some more on Romo, question why Lee had [...]
This week we dive into the penultimate episode of our massive pre-season four re-watch. Highlights: we lament the many shows that died before their time, debate how long it takes to download Cylon(z), comment on Romo Lampkin’s incredible coolness — and note his cat’s name, Lance — love how quickly Adama and Roslin go from [...]
Before BSG there was Trek, and with Ron Moore, Trek was good. Now TrekMovie.com is reporting that the Galactica co-creator “wrangled a set visit” to the new Trek flick, and his (very censored) response is… quite positive.
Besides mentioning how much he enjoyed walking around a set with a Federation ship again, he also voiced his [...]
According to Reuters, Tuesday the SciFi network told advertisers that they’ve approved a two-hour pilot of the BSG prequel series Caprica. While RDM and David Eick’s Caprica has been in the works for two years and production will begin “this spring,” no one’s guessing yet at an airdate. I suspect it won’t be “immediate.”
Either way, I’m [...]
Here’s the new weekly presidential 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)!
Remember: This approval poll applies to the current GWC re-watch schedule, [...]

Sometimes I think we’re alone in the universe, and sometimes I think we’re not. In either case the idea is quite staggering. - Arthur C. Clarke
Sir Arthur C. Clarke, science fiction giant and author of over 100 books including Childhood’s End (1953), 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), Rendezvous with Rama (1972), and The Fountains of [...]
Okay, so there haven’t been any confirmed sightings of a Cylon ship — but as of this year, the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) perched atop Mount Graham in Arizona is the closest we humans have come to being able to see clearly something that far away. At 580 metric tons (double the weight of the [...]
We’re busy re-watchin’ away at GWC. If you’d like to jump in, here’s what we’re currently checking out and discussing:
BSG Season 3: The Son Also Rises
Firefly: Trash
Heroes: Don’t Look Back
The Son Also Rises carries us further down our headlong path towards new BSG content April 4th. Trash, of course, has opened up numerous questions here [...]
We relate some of our All-Con experiences, then settle down to talk Maelstrom. Highlights: we wonder about Starbuck’s origin (a farm?), see her Starbuck-The-White change in new light, run down numerous “far-out” theories that suddenly seem reasonable, discuss Helo’s need for structure, spill the beans on our Viper sim featured in Popular Science this month, [...]
You may have missed this morning’s 2:28 a.m. ET launch of the space shuttle — unless you live in Brevard County, Florida. Besides the fact that the shuttle’s three main engines and two SRB’s make enough noise to be clearly heard in Orlando about fifty miles away, the launch is so bright it turns the [...]
Audra and I were lucky enough to catch Aaron Douglas at the Dallas All-Con event today, and greatly enjoyed his Saturday panel. For those of you who haven’t seen Mr. Douglas in person, he’s very fan-accessible, affable, and entertaining. Some interesting (and possibly very slightly spoilericious) facts gleaned from his talk:
He indicated that BSG will [...]
