Galactica Quorum #44 – “Guess What’s Coming To Dinner”

“Guess What’s Coming To Dinner” continues the streak of excellent episodes. Whereas the previous episode had a more singular story, this show masterfully wove together multiple storylines and characters, and most importantly, propelled the story forward. We praise all the new developments and building momentum, including the fragile alliance, Hera, the opera house, Roslin and Baltar jointly seeing the hybrid, …

We felt “Faith” was another strong episode. We discuss Roslin’s open mind about spiritual possibilities, attempt to interpret the Hybrid’s message, ponder why the Eights are a herd of pod people, and discuss what has become of Gaeta’s character.

Galactica Quorum #42 – “The Road Less Traveled”

BSG rebounds with “The Road Less Traveled,” an episode that not coincidentally focused on the Demetrius. The Quorum weighs in on the mutiny, the extensive yet whiny crew, and just what Athena is doing on the mission. Plus, we debate Baltar’s motives.

Galactica Quorum #41 – “Escape Velocity”

After the previous brilliant episode, “Escape Velocity” was a letdown. The episode title was ironic, since the show never seemed to take off, but we try to interpret what seemed to be setup storylines. We discuss Tigh and Chief’s deteriorating mental states, ponder Roslin’s fate, and state the case for Tory being evil (and not just “misunderstood”). The Quorum consisted …
