Podcast 187: All Of This Has Happened Before...

This week we finally put an end to Joey's misery about the story of BSG. And yes, it is better than Lost. I think every tv finale is going to be compared to Lost for quite a while, because of how terrible it was. BSG had a comparatively very good finale where they wrap up most of the big questions. But more, as a retelling of an already beloved tv show, it carved out its own place within SciFi history. This tv podcast covers the finale of Battlestar Galactica Season 4.

Podcast 186: You Haven't Changed Gaius, I Have

This is late in getting posted by a week from when we recorded it due to unforeseen illness. And this was our first week back after probably a month off. So we had a lot to talk about.

Podcast 184: They're Gonna Kill Us

A reckoning was predicted, and what a reckoning that Gaeta and Zarek get for their actions. Farewell dear Gaeta. It was really sad to see your decline. Even if it is getting to the end of the series, it is a gutsy move to kill off two of the main characters. This tv podcast covers episodes 13 and 14 of Battlestar Galactica Season 4.

Podcast 183: I See It

A return to the podcast after our holiday break. We had to change plans of recording venue since Joey forgot to bring up the normal recording laptop and so we made a trip back to the office. Thankfully Joey and I had talked them in to buying all the equipment that we would need. Lots of surprises in this week, but the best and most sad was the death of Dualla. Gonna miss the heck out of her. This tv podcast covers episodes 11 and 12 of Battlestar Galactica Season 4.

Fun discussion this week. Special appearance by My Friend Jon Madsen, albeit faintly as he was shouting from the other room. Joey only gives his wife one hug a year, on Hug Day. How weird is that? This tv podcast covers episodes 9 and 10 of Battlestar Galactica Season 4.

Podcast 180: I'm Glad It's You

We managed to sneak in a podcast right before Thanksgiving. And we had a lot of fun talking about the types of foods we eat. Plus we talked about BSG.

Podcast 175: Did He Ask About Me?

Pretty low key podcast this week. Probably the weirdest thing is that I admitted to liking Maelstrom, which is a Starbuck episode. Makes sense that I would like the episode that she dies in. Also, I coined the term: Paper Licker. This tv podcast covers episodes 17 and 18 of Battlestar Galactica Season 3.

Podcast 173: It's Time To Learn The Truth

We came back strong from our latest break. I think we have had more fun in the first hour of recording than we have had in a while. Joining us was the Intern Aaron, who probably deserves some credit for that. But it's unlikely we will give it to him. Oh and Joey has amended his final 5 list to include Zerrick and remove Duala. His current list includes: Tyrol, Cally, Tigh, Gaeta, & Zarek. Won't he be surprised when Adama ends up being one of the 5?

Podcast 170: Keep Your Body Here With Me

This weeks episodes were pretty lackluster in my opinion. There were only really a couple things that happened to push the real story along. I am frankly surprised at why they would bother with doing filler episodes. Just make awesome stuff, and if that means your season is shorter, then so be it. This tv podcast covers episodes 7 and 8 of Battlestar Galactica Season 3.

Various topics discussed in this podcast include:
    Joey's Culture Corner: Dust: An Elysian Tail
    Facebook Find of the Week: Listeners Brainy Smurf - Thomas Jefferson was the third choice to author Declaration of Independence
    Top 5 Favorite Superhero movies - Joey expounds on why Hulk is so cool
    Wow moments for Joey
    Joey wants the eradication of any species to be stopped. Because he loves environmentalism so much.
    Joey sits on the radical right for all of you. Have any of you thanked him lately?
    Peter wants the presidential painting of Gaius Baltar
    Music Intro: So Much More by Candace Russell

Podcast 169: You Fools

The hybrid is one of the cooler pieces to the Cylon mythos that we have seen recently. The interior of their base-ship was also pretty neat. Joey has officially been introduced to the idea of the "final 5" and so the hunt begins to discover who they will be. This tv podcast covers episodes 5 and 6 of Battlestar Galactica Season 3.
