Galactica Quorum #14 – “Maelstrom”

We discuss “Maelstrom” and pay our respects to Starbuck, but we have to wonder: was her character too far gone for us to care? And is she really dead? Also, I share some of the patches and pins I’ve acquired for next year’s Halloween costume, as well as The Gun. I’ll post pics in the forum at some point. This …

Galactica Quorum #13 – “Dirty Hands”

The Quorum was divided on “Dirty Hands”…Dimitry and Michele liked it, while I hated it. After discussing some of the issues, we came to a new consensus. Topics include: I-CON 26 convention at Stony Brook University, March 23-25 [opens new window] the refinery ship–it’s no Cloud 9 the emergence of inter-colony divisions and prejudices Adama’s and Roslin’s characterization, out the …

Galactica Quorum #12 – “A Day In The Life”

We did something a little different this time–we gathered at my house to watch “A Day In The Life” and do a “live” show with comments during the broadcast and a full discussion afterwards. We also have some new voices in the Quorum… it’s the Galactica Quorum: Spouse Edition! Dimitry and his wife Jen were there, as well as Michele …

Galactica Quorum #11 – “The Woman King”

After puzzling about whether we had actually missed an episode last week, we recover to discuss “The Woman King.” Topics include the attitudes toward the Sagittarons, Helo’s never-ending moral crusades, Six’s lack of inhibitions, and Dr. Mike “I discriminate against Mutants too” Roberts. On hand for this episode were Brian, Jason, and Dimitry.

Galactica Quorum #10 – “Mailbag”

There was no new episode on Super Bowl Sunday, so we opened the mailbag for listener response and theories. These included: thoughts about the Final Five, Gaeta’s Cylon potentiality, the 13th Tribe, and a classic “Who Would Win” scenario. Quorum participants were Brian, Michele, Dimitry and Jason.

Galactica Quorum #8 – “Rapture”

Season Three resumes with Rapture. In this episode we cover: Boomer’s fall to the Dark Side Baltar’s role as the Chosen One (or is he?) and his pending return to Galactica Who did D’Anna recognize in her vision of the Final Five? Once again all Quorum members were there: Brian, Dimitry, Michele and Jason. Technical update: I wasn’t happy with …

Galactica Quorum #7 – “Some Answers, Some Speculation”

We recorded a quickie podcast to keep any cobwebs from forming. We answer a couple questions and speculate about a few more. All Quroum members — Brian, Dimitry, Michele and Jason — were there to add their ideas. On a technical note, we’ve recorded seven podcasts now and probably five of them have been recorded using different equipment (computers/software/mics). Such …

Galactica Quorum #6 – “The Stuff From The Bottom Of Page 2”

This time we serve a heaping helping of leftovers… the topics that didn’t make it into previous shows for one reason or another, but were still fresh enough to not throw out. Topics include: Are the Cylon models created from clones of real people? Why haven’t there been any more hybrid babies? How big is the Cylon fleet? Where are …

Galactica Quorum #5 – “Roundtable Podcast”

Today, on a Special Galactica Quorum… It’s a podcast…about a podcast! We discuss the three-hour roundtable (more like coffeetable… no, scotch table) podcast that was recently posted on the SciFi.com website. We extract some of the key talking points from the discussion, including: Helo, “33,” and the not-as-mysterious Cylons. Note: We bring up an as-yet-unseen character and speculate about his …
