This week’s BSG rewatch brought Black Market, reviled by most fans who label it a “filler.” We actually like it — kinda.

Highlights: we note the shortest command in BSG history (Fisk’s, which is [...]- GWC Podcast #63 released on Mon, 09/17/2007 - 05:05
Happy 1st birthday, GWC! And we’d like to especially extend these birthday greetings to all of you who’ve stuck around and made GWC what it is through your calls and messages.

Incredibly, we do get around to [...]- GWC Podcast #59 released on Mon, 08/20/2007 - 04:46
Is it just us, or does Final Cut seem more like a “filler episode” the second time ’round? Highlights: We close the book on “penultimate” and the ship, let on how we MST3K the episodes when we watch together, relate an opening-night Star Trek story, dish on our favorite Halloween costume ideas, and gush about [...]- GWC Podcast #58 released on Mon, 08/13/2007 - 04:30

- GWC Podcast #31 released on Tue, 02/27/2007 - 02:49
This week’s show title, “Dirty Hands” applied to both the workers on the tillium refinery ship and to Adama and Roslin. Highlights: We wonder why Adama’s legendary leadership skills (and Roslin’s insight) take a vacation this episode, speculate about life through the eyes of the civilian fleet, question whether Tyrol will ever trust Adama again, [...]- GWC Podcast #30 released on Mon, 02/19/2007 - 08:11
“A Day in the Life” reminded us of why we love the show — and its great characters — so much. Highlights: We address Adama’s “projections,” respect BSG’s honest and realistic approach to divorce, wonder what Mrs. Adama must have been like if whining Lee thinks she’s “unstable,” speculate again on what kind of trial [...]- GWC Podcast #29 released on Mon, 02/12/2007 - 08:27
Surprise, surprise: it was “The Woman, King” and not “The Woman King” – and the first Helo-centric episode in some time. Highlights: We discuss Helo’s moral compass vs. his inexperience as an officer, delight in the re-appearance of Head Baltar, question Caprica Six’s desire to be human, and wonder just exactly what it really takes to shake Tigh’s [...]- GWC Podcast #28 released on Sat, 02/03/2007 - 03:48
We’re filling the missing-episode-gap this week with another listener-based podcast, and it was a blast. Have we mentioned recently how much our listeners ROCK? Highlights: With the help of many listeners who called in with their own questions and comments, we talk a lot about the next Cylon reveal, discuss the point of politics in [...]- GWC Podcast #27 released on Mon, 01/29/2007 - 07:36
“Taking a Break…” offered no respite from the multiplicity of personal issues cluttering the minds of Galactica’s finest this week. Highlights: We discuss the crew’s marital strife, ponder Baltar’s somewhat dim future, and debate whether Laura “The Airlock” Roslin still deserves her nickname. It looks like the staff at BSG will take a break next [...]- GWC Podcast #26 released on Mon, 01/22/2007 - 16:02
After weeks of waiting, I guess we all wanted to see world-changing reveals in The Rapture. Though they didn’t come (yet), we did receive some enticing clues as to what’s coming. Highlights: We run down what we can logically learn from Three’s “vision” of the final five, speculate about Baltar’s fate, express surprise over Three’s [...]- GWC Podcast #25 released on Sat, 01/13/2007 - 07:36
We’re rounding out the last of our over-the-break ‘casts with a truly special set of guests: our listeners! We’re joined by a number of regular listeners and blog commenters who lead us down some interesting paths. Highlights: We review the practicality of Cylon genocide, wonder what might happen if Galactica arrived at Earth sometime in [...]- GWC Podcast #24 released on Sat, 01/06/2007 - 02:40
This week we’re joined by science fiction author Tony Daniel, who was kind enough to stop by the studio in person. Those of you who’ve been jonesin’ for some straight Galactica talk in the off-season will love this ‘cast, guaranteed. Highlights: We talk downloading (a major theme in Tony’s novels Metaplanetary and Superluminal), and speculate, [...]- Bonus Podcast: The Very Jerry Talks Matrix (#23) released on Mon, 01/01/2007 - 17:22
After we stopped recording podcast #23, our guest, the Very Rev. Dr. Jerome B. Wichelns mentioned in passing that he was a big fan of the Matrix movies. Thankfully, we fired up the gear and recorded the ensuing (very fun) discussion, which we’re realeasing here as a bonus ‘cast. Note: This ‘cast contains no Battlestar [...]- GWC Podcast #22 released on Fri, 12/29/2006 - 15:58
As we continue through the Christmas break, we’re joined by the Very Rev. Dr. Jerome B. Wichelns (or the “Very Jerry” as he calls himself) for an enlightening discussion regarding religion and philosophy in Galactica. Besides serving as an Episcopal priest, Dr. Wichelns recently retired from teaching philosophy at the college level. Highlights: We explore [...]- GWC Podcast #21 released on Sat, 12/23/2006 - 02:41
We’re going into BSG withdrawal; Friday just doesn’t seem right without a new installation of the show. We recharge our batteries by chatting with famous online political organizer — and creator of FrakParty.com — Zack Exley about season three so far. Highlights: We wonder when Roslin will ever actually be elected by vote, speculate on [...]- GWC Podcast #20 released on Sat, 12/16/2006 - 07:53

Highlights: We try to unravel the mystery of the Eye of Jupiter, love on Adama’s nerves of steel, wonder what’ll come of Anders, discuss Athena’s baby momma drama, and wish this wasn’t the last new BSG we’ll get until January! Note: [...]- GWC Podcast #19 released on Sat, 12/09/2006 - 06:37
Wow. “The Passage” really moved us — and gave us a lot to think about. Highlights: Kat (’nuff said), trying to understand D’Anna and Baltar’s interpretation of hybrid-speak, speculating about the “remaining five,” and wondering why it’s so difficult for Sci-fi standards to allow Starbuck to say “gave him head.” (There — that wasn’t so [...]- GWC Podcast #18 released on Sat, 12/02/2006 - 07:15
“Unfinished Business” was everything we’d hoped it would be and more. Highlights: Finally understanding what’s come between Starbuck and Lee during the occupation, confirming the (fogotten by the losers) results of last week’s quarter bets, discussing the crew’s pent up aggression, and a shout out to RDM and crew for trying the roundtable format in [...]- GWC Podcast #17 released on Sat, 11/25/2006 - 07:00
Since Sci-Fi stiffed us for a new episode this week, we invited guest Martha Harbison from the magazine Popular Science to sit in with us and share some of her ideas about biological machines and Cylon viruses. Highlights: We discuss why baby blood probably isn’t a realistic cure-all, argue about centurion batteries, bet quarters on [...]- GWC Podcast #16 released on Sat, 11/18/2006 - 08:12
“Hero” eschewed the main story arc in favor of some serious character development. Highlights: We discuss Adama’s culpability and D’Anna’s dreams, marvel at the can of whoop-a@# Tigh opens up (and his recovery), and shake our heads at the “Baltar sandwich.”
- GWC Podcast #15 released on Sat, 11/11/2006 - 04:36
“A Measure of Salvation” left us wondering how so many “coincidences” could really come to pass in one show. Highlights: Roslin’s mean streak, Baltar’s torture “escape,” Helo’s future, the “new” Lee, and the merits of having your own pet centurion.
- GWC Podcast #14 released on Thu, 11/09/2006 - 04:00
This is a special “in between” podcast to address some of the great comments you called in and posted to the blog.

Highlights: [...]- GWC Podcast #13 released on Tue, 11/07/2006 - 02:55
“Torn” was a wild ride, finally addressing some of the questions we’ve all been asking for years, offering us insight in some areas — and just more questions in others. Highlights: We consider Baltar’s predicament, discuss Tigh’s future, muse about hybrids, speculate on Lee’s new rank, kid about Leoben’s “autumn” skin color, and sing you a variation [...]- GWC Podcast #12 released on Sun, 10/29/2006 - 18:17
“Collaborators” answered a number of our questions from last week and managed to further deepen the backgrounds of our favorite characters. Highlights: Tom Zarek’s questionable motives and past, Tigh’s back-to-normal-but-not post-traumatic stress disorder, Baltar’s nude fainting couch appearance, and My Little Pony resurrection ships.
- GWC Podcast #11 released on Mon, 10/23/2006 - 03:16
You’ll have to excuse us for geeking out a bit on Exodus, Pt. 2 — one of Galactica’s best episodes to date. We promise to return to our normal full-on predictions and speculation next time! Highlights: Tigh’s sacrifice, Baltar’s almost-but-not-quite martyrdom, Starbuck’s mindfrack, and the coolest moment in on-screen sci-fi since the Millenium Falcon arrived [...]- GWC Podcast #10 released on Sun, 10/15/2006 - 19:30
There sure wasn’t much leaving going on in “Exodus, Pt. 1″ tonight, was there? Highlights: Speculation on Ellen’s fate as betrayer, the purpose and significance of the “oracle,” the possible outcome of D’Anna’s “crisis of faith,” Gaeta’s existance as free thinker vs. collaborator, and a mental image of Scar waking up in the goo. How would [...]- GWC Podcast #9 released on Thu, 10/12/2006 - 03:30
We’ve been receiving so many great comments via email, the blog, and the phone that we decided to sit down for an interim “comment-only” ‘cast. Highlights: lessons learned from the “Cylon caucus” in Colonial One, the Cylon’s exponentially-rapid cultural development, and back-glowing orgasms as fiber-op transcievers (don’t ask). If this is your first visit to [...]- GWC Podcast #8 released on Fri, 10/06/2006 - 16:54
We just watched the premiere, and though it answered a lot of questions, it generated many, many more. Highlights: Questioning whether the individual “models” of Cylon are interconnected (and if Sharon could ”pass” with a flesh Cylon), wondering what’ll happen when Sharon finds out that her baby’s alive, lots of speculation on Baltar’s future, and lamenting having ever [...]- GWC Podcast #7 released on Fri, 10/06/2006 - 01:29
In this ‘cast we cover the last webisode — number ten — and move on to speculate into season three and beyond. Highlights: Jammer’s “betrayal,” Baltar’s future in BSG, the “pregnancy pillow,” and Cylon STDs. Note: We call this podcast #6, but it’s actually #7. That’s what happens when we scramble to put out two [...]- GWC Podcast #6 released on Thu, 10/05/2006 - 03:39
In this special edition of GWC we respond to some calls from a listener. Highlights: Starbuck’s “special” relationship with Tigh, Caprica Six and the resistance, and everyone’s favorite topic (at least when not confronted with it personally) — sex and love.
- GWC Podcast #5 released on Wed, 10/04/2006 - 03:39
Webisode nine was painfully short, but we can’t help but question the fate of Jammer. Highlights: our predictions for webisode ten and how the webisodes will fit into season three, Laura Roslin’s responsibility for the current mess the colonies face, and a Top Gun reference you may not have considered. Just three more days ’till [...]- GWC Podcast #4 released on Fri, 09/29/2006 - 23:56
Though we start out talking about webisode eight, this ‘cast quickly moves into lots of new territory. Highlights: Speculation on the disposition of the fleet, genetic diversity among Cylons, and the gray areas of “collaboration” (and the new depth it’ll bring to Galactica in season three).
- GWC Podcast #3 released on Wed, 09/27/2006 - 02:13
Webisode 7 came out today, and as short as it was it still left us with some big questions to answer. Highlights: Rounded chairs and red drinks, questioning the destiny of Cylon sentience, lots and lots of theories regarding “Starbuck’s baby,” and a new “glowing back” theory.
- GWC Podcast #2 released on Fri, 09/22/2006 - 01:13
We just watched webisode 6 as well as the extremely cool new season 3 trailer, and as usual we have a lot to say about it.

In this ‘cast — our first — we discuss the webisodes as well as a good bit of Galactica history and the path forward into season three.
