Podcast 149: I Think We Have A Real Future Together

To say that Joey was surprised about the Cylon reveal at the end of part 2 of the Battlestar Galactica miniseries is an understatement.  And it was a lot of fun for me to get his reaction.  Best line of this weeks episode had to be "We've got to start having babies.  Is that an order?".  Where will the humans go?  Will they survive?  What other Cylons are out there?  This tv podcast covers the second half of the initial tv miniseries for Battlestar Galactica.
