Join us on "Melrose Planet" as the drama heats up between Dee and Lee, Lee and Starbuck, and Starbuck and Anders. Speaking of Anders, be sure to stick around for our interview with Michael Trucco!
The good news: This episode of BSG passes the Bechdel test. The bad news: One of the two women won't be taking it again. Plus: We finish out our discussion of "Star Trek: Discovery."
Join us for a lively discussion of the two new "Star Trek" series: "Star Trek: Discovery" and "The Orville." It's true: The latter plays like classic Trek -- but is that a good thing?
Assuming you can tear yourself away from "Star Trek Discovery" for five minutes, join us for a discussion of one of Galactica's most popular episodes.
Retcon alert! Retcon alert! (Its okay: Sometimes the bad episodes are the most fun to discuss.)
Once again we face some Big Questions: Is it ethical to destroy an entire civilization, even one that means you harm? Is biological warfare ever acceptable? Is it possible to enjoy being tortured? (It is now, nudge-nudge!) Oh, and Grace Park joins us on the podcast. NONE OTHER THAN SHARON/BOOMER/ATHENA HERSELF!
No, it has nothing to do with the Natalie Imbruglia song. But one could definitely argue that "nothing's right" aboard Galactica or amongst the Cylons. Torn, indeed!
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time...in space! (You know...floating around in space. Because you've been shot out a launch tube. That's what happens when you collaborate with the enemy!)
All the bloopers from season one in a single, hilarity-filled bonus track!
Join us for a post-ATX debrief, a discussion of the amazing conclusion to the New Caprica arc, and the man himself, show creator Ron Moore. All the things!
The word "exodus" comes from the ancient texts, and loosely translates to "Go bye-bye now." Which is exactly what the human residents of New Caprica want to do. Curiously, it seems like the Cylons wouldn't mind that option, either.
In which everyone pats their pockets and says, "Launch keys, launch keys... Now where the heck did we leave those keys?" Because you can't stage a getaway if you can't start the getaway car. Quick housekeeping note: We'll be taking a short break after this episode, but lots of good stuff to follow.
Before there was "Caprica" (the TV series), there was New Caprica, the setting for most of Season 3's opener. Unfortunately, the Nazis -- er, Cylons -- have occupied the settlement, so things aren't looking good. For the humans, anyway; for the viewer, things are very good.
Kind of a prequel, kind of a movie, kind of an unusual addition to the Galacti-verse, and kind of...a mess? Okay, sure, but a wonderful mess or an unfortunate one? We have thoughts.
All the things happen! Join us for the shocking end to a shaky season, and stay tuned for our upcoming recap of the interstitial BSG movie "Razor."
