Article on Women and Sci-Fi Misses the Mark - Again

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

A recent article — on how Battlestar Galactica could save your marriage — includes a commentary on why women love BSG by sometime-geek chick Martha Brockenbrough, a former contributor to Slate and the founder of the SPOGG, the Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar (which I totally respect). But I beg to differ with [...]

The Twelve Days of BSG

Tuesday, December 25th, 2007

On the Twelfth Day of BSG my true love gave to me:

Twelve Raiders Raiding
Eleven Vipers Viping
Ten Larrys Leaping
Nine Gaetas Prancing
Eight Naked Sharons
Seven Spines a’Glowing
Six Sixes Laying
Five Tubs of Goo!
Four Battling Birds
Three Hybrids
Two Pyramid Balls
And the Towel that was Draped Around Lee!

Some Thoughts on the Rewatch

Wednesday, April 11th, 2007

While veiwing the rewatch with everyone, I witnessed a scene in “33″ where Athena shoots Six in the back and then drags Helo off with her into the forest.
The first time I saw this episode I didn’t think much of this act - just that Athena was trying to defy her fellow Cylons and save poor [...]

Reader Theories: Zarek’s a Cylon. Or Roslin’s a Cylon.

Friday, March 23rd, 2007

Keith C. wrote:
I have a theory on who the revealed Cylon will be in Season 3. I believe it will be Tom Zarek for the following reasons:
1. He is one of the few people who could be a Cylon without having to be a sleeper agent (as far as believability is concerned). Also, I don’t [...]

Show Me the Money!

Tuesday, February 6th, 2007

Okay, this may have been done before (I’m way too lazy to check out the fan ‘verse to see), but here goes. In the spirit of the less-cerebral and sillier side of GWC…Vote for your favorite money shot! (Or add one if you don’t see it here.)
Male money shot: 1.) Lee dropping the towel in [...]

Cylon Nirvana?

Thursday, December 28th, 2006

According to the Battlestar Wiki, at one point in the series the priest Elosha delivers a sermon in Sanskrit, an ancient language of the Indian subcontinent. While trying to figure out how Eastern religion might play into the BSG world and why the writers would choose Sanskrit, especially with a people whose religion is predominantly [...]

In The Footsteps of Baltar

Wednesday, December 27th, 2006

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 [...]

Reader Theory: The Cylons Were Looking for Earth All Along?

Thursday, December 7th, 2006

Armando writes: “So I just watched Kobol’s Last Gleaming again.  It strikes me that when Starbuck finds the arrow of Apollo in the Delphi museum the Number Six that ambushes her there seems very interested in the arrow.  Could it be that the Cylon plan involved finding Earth all along and that they simply needed [...]

Reader Theory: The Nature of God in BSG

Thursday, December 7th, 2006

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 [...]

Reader Theory: A Cylon Device in Baltar’s Nervous System?

Thursday, December 7th, 2006

Arktis says: “Baltar has a Cylon device somewhere in his nervous system instead of his brain.  This is why it didn’t show on his brain scan, why it doesn’t appear to have direct control, and why it has to spend a lot of time convincing him of things.  Think of it as being similar to [...]

Guess Who?

Tuesday, November 28th, 2006

Ever notice that the Cylon can recognize each other before they have said anything to one another? This strikes me as a bit odd. I know there are arguments that would say it’s simply written that way for ease of storytelling, but you have to admit it is a bit odd.
On more than one occasion [...]
