February 26, 2017 16:50 - 46 minutes - 24.1 MB

Worst episode ever? That remains to be seen. It's not terrible, just not up to Battlestar Galactica standards. Or do you think we're being too hard on it?

S2 E13 - 'Epiphanies'

February 20, 2017 14:57 - 1 hour - 31.4 MB

President Roslyn lays dying, but have no fear: Borg nanites to the rescue! Or something. Also, we remember Richard Hatch, the actor who played Apollo in the original series and Tom Zarek in this one.

We're back! Sheesh, we take one little break and suddenly it's CIVIL WAR! Here are the big questions to discuss: Is Admiral Cain really a villain? And is assassination really the only solution?

November 16, 2016 13:16 - 54 minutes - 28.5 MB

Nothing boosts company morale like team-building exercises, whether it's ship-building or window-shooting. Also: the importance of keeping your anti-virus software up to date.

S2 E8 - 'Final Cut'

November 09, 2016 20:19 - 46 minutes - 45.7 MB

Proof positive that you just can't trust the media! (We kid, we kid... we're both writers.)

S2 E7 - 'Home Part 2'

November 01, 2016 18:53 - 46 minutes - 23.9 MB

Welcome to the galaxy's coolest virtual-reality room, otherwise known as the Tomb of Athena. And stay for what may be the funniest line of the series to date. #lobby

A ragtag fleet divided against itself cannot stand. It can, however, make colossal tactical mistakes.

S2 E5 - 'The Farm'

October 13, 2016 14:51 - 54 minutes - 29 MB

Those of you expecting to see ducks and cows and chickens and goats, prepare for a rude awakening. This is most definitely not that kind of farm.

All hell is breaking loose in the fleet. And on Caprica, Helo and Starbuck discover they're not alone...

S2 E3 - 'Fragged'

September 29, 2016 12:41 - 56 minutes - 41.2 MB

If you know your military jargon, the title of this episode tells you everything you need to know. Crashdown, we hardly knew ye!

S2 E2 - 'Valley of Darkness'

September 21, 2016 10:30 - 41 minutes - 21.7 MB

Cylon centurions board Galactica, and they are NOT there for a meet-and-greet.

September 13, 2016 16:43 - 1 hour - 44.2 MB

We're back! And we've brought Baltar with us. It's true: The inimitable James Callis joins us on the podcast to share stories from the show -- including what happens when a director tells him to put his hand into a fire.

S1 E13 - 'Kobol's Last Gleaming, Pt. 2'

August 11, 2016 12:20 - 58 minutes - 30.9 MB

S1 E9 - 'Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down'

July 13, 2016 17:30 - 56 minutes - 29.2 MB

Oh, Ellen, you crazy flirtatious drunken enabler, you. Another comedic masterpiece from a show that's supposed to be a drama. We are not complaining.

S1 E8 - 'Flesh and Bone'

July 06, 2016 17:14 - 59 minutes - 30.7 MB

“It isn’t torture if I pry my toaster open to pull the bread out that got stuck inside.” We go deep in this recap: religion, torture, and our very own human "software."

S1 E7 - 'Six Degrees of Separation'

June 30, 2016 12:08 - 52 minutes - 49.8 MB

An ingeniously crafted episode that also happens to be laugh-out-loud funny. We've never loved James Callis and Tricia Helfer more.

S1 E6 - 'Litmus'

June 22, 2016 14:39 - 50 minutes - 48.2 MB

S1 E4 - 'Act of Contrition'

June 01, 2016 12:29 - 57 minutes - 28.9 MB

You say you want a revolution? How about a visit from a familiar face? Get both in this slow-burn but still-exciting episode, which raises many thought-provoking questions (including: Is it wise to open the doors of an entire cell-block?).

S1 E2 - "Water"

May 24, 2016 12:32 - 1 hour - 31.7 MB

A saboteur causes a potentially devastating crisis. It's the most gripping episode of Battlestar Galactica since, well, the last one.

S1 E1 - "33"

May 18, 2016 01:46 - 48 minutes - 37.4 MB
