Wonder no longer how Tigh lost his Eye. It’s all Aaron Doral’s fault! The clip above is from a deleted scene included on the Battlestar Galactica season three DVD set, and is available for free viewing on the DVD launch website.
While I’m glad this remained on the cutting room floor — it’s a bit cheesy, [...]

10. By 2009, an entire new generation of sci-fi fans will have been born, and we can use the last half of Season Four to squeeze profits from them.
9. The ass-beating the network will receive from Battlestar’s rabid fanbase will be less bloody than if we waited ’till 2010, like we originally wanted to.
8. Brilliant writing, [...]

During the 4-week break I find my thoughts about Galactica wandering back to Baltar. We’ve seen that the Cylon are more than willing to return him to the fleet to gain a tactical advantage over the humans regarding the E.O.J., but is this just another way to get rid of him? Have the Cylon figured [...]

I’ve seen some discussion of how it’s a bit unrealistic that Tigh wouldn’t tell Adama about what happened to Ellen.  I have something to say regarding that, but let me first ask that everyone be a bit kind as I’m going to relate something a bit personal.  (Not that our community here isn’t generally kind [...]

I’ve noticed an interesting theme running through BSG - being trapped. It’s interesting how being trapped, held, or imprisoned - physically or psychologically - can affect people.
Some physical examples we see- Sharon in the cell on Galactica, Six (Gina) in same cell, Roslin in the brig, Lee in the brig when Adama is shot. Helo stuck on (Old) [...]

Great stuff from Exodus Part 2. I must say that they took a few twists that I didn’t expect. I was dead wrong about Ellen living but they handled it very well. I wonder how Saul will fit into things as the show progresses.
I feel that he will still serve in duties aboard the Galactica; [...]

Poor, poor Ellen’s fall;
Wife of Saul, lover of all.
Will tainted be her beauty
from loathesome skinjob VD?
What will say Colonel Tigh
If his wife’s condemned to die?
Will he poke out another eye?
Or save her from the Cy-
lons? If Ellen ends up dead,
Who’ll give Cavil head?
Alone he’ll off to bed
Dreaming of Caprica Six instead.
 
(Hey, no one said it’d be [...]

By writing this, I’m risking (again) becoming the target of numerous “keep your personal politics out of your podcast” emails, so if you’re firing up your mailer right now, hold on a second or two and read this post at least twice first.  Agreed?  OK — here goes…
Encarta defines allegory as “a work in which [...]

We’ll have another podcast out to you tomorrow with lots of discussion about webisode eight, but I couldn’t wait to weigh in with a few thoughts.  First and foremost:  What?  Aaron’s sorry that they killed 10-or-so “innocent” humans in the temple?  If he’s sorry about that “tragedy” he must be downright apologetic about murdering 20 [...]

…in her ability to absolutely frak up everything and everyone she gets near. In the episode “Sacrifice,” (which was the most recent in our marathon to refresh our memories for Season 3), Ellen, apparently along with half of Galactica’s crew, is in the lounge on Cloud Nine. She’s sipping a cocktail and flirting with Lee Adama. [...]

One of the things I really love about BSG is the way it renders the world in shades of gray — leaving most of its TV sci-fi competition looking like 8-bit black & white graphics on an Apple II.  It’s those shades of gray that lead me to believe that the Cylons are changing their tactics in [...]

Today in the Podcast we came across an interesting topic. What are the limits in the war? Though I think Chuck will vehemently disagree with me on this, I am pro “kick cylon tail” by whatever means available. I don’t think mass attempted genocide with the follow-up of robbing reproductive organs of human women and [...]
