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, [...]

The entire tech for the cylons seem robotic in nature – the toasters could have created the basestars and raiders (in Jupiter the raiders to the planet looked very much like toasters).  I think the toasters created the hybrids, [...]

Galacti-Geek AJ writes: “Throughout the first season, I often found myself wondering what the nature of God was in the BSG Universe.  Faith – or lack thereof — in God had a significant effect on events within the show.  The events surrounding the Olympic Carrier in 33, the Tylium refinery in Hand of God, and the [...]

An interesting thing came up in the podcast tonight. Ok a lot of “interesting” things came out of the cast tonight, but I think one issue that stuck home with me is the ghosts in the light that appeared before D’anna when she was popped by the bullet-head.
There are several theories running around the net [...]

There’s been a lot of really good discussion here in comments regarding the colonial attempt at genocide in A Measure of Salvation, and I thought I’d run down some of the arguments along with some of the commenters espousing them.  Since I’m exerpting, you can click on the commenter’s name to see the entire comment [...]

The biggest issue in A Measure of Salvation, IMHO, was the question of what makes us human — a question that’s core to BSG and has been addressed in many different ways in the show to date.  Are we human because we can love?  Because we hate?  Because we can reproduce?
When Adama and Roslin stood [...]

Allow me a flight of fancy for just a sec.  Imagine yourself a fresh new graduate of Cylon basic training.  In the 20 seconds that tick by between your basic processing and your new career assignment you find your hopeful, gear-clanking mind wandering to your awesome new purpose in life.
Perhaps you’ll be a leader of [...]

There’s nothing at all wrong with the fact that we’ve all been totally geeking out over the last week or two, just breathing in the sweet air of sci-fi battle goodness.  We could talk for an hour about the Galactica’s incredible arrival in Exodus, Pt. 2 — not to mention Pegasus’ save-the-day jump – but… Wait.  We did [...]

Isn’t it interesting that after the little speech about the first act of Cylon on Cylon violence that we see an act of the same kind of violence from an Aaron by shooting Caprica Six in the head?
Taking that a bit further I wonder if since they know that they will be returned to life [...]

Something has been bothering me about the cylon for some time now and I haven’t quite been able to put my finger on it till now. With Audra’s last post about cylon on cylon violence it struck me.
One of the things that make us human is the fact that we get one go at life [...]

I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. That is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant. Martin Luther King, Jr., accepting the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964
In digging up the quote by Dr. King I was trying to recall in our fourth podcast (see my [...]

While skimming through a bit of season 2.0 I stopped at the scenes where Six and Boomer wake up in the pod-of-goo. I was struck by two things. The first was how much connection both of them upon waking up had with their former lives. They seemed to be very concerned with what (to them [...]
