The giggle game is strong in this one. 😆
so far more of interview than re-watch, review, recap, etc. not bad, but not format I was interested in. hoping that changes.
I feel like we missed some funny BTS doggie antics. 😂 Also, dogs AND fish? I'm an even bigger Katee Sackhoff fan now.
Somebody please explain how baby Hera is still an infant in season 3, but it's supposed to be 1 year and 4 months later!
You best work was Pegasus
One of my favorites I related with Kendra Shaw.

Tricia frakdown was spot on, the sagiterons plight being used to bring Sharon's cylons struggles up. Dont want to pander, but I was guilty of thinking of Tricia as just.anoyher pretty face, the series took me out of that quickly and her subsequent work made me ashamed of my predispositions. Anyways, shes still gorgeous and thanks to the podcast has shown her insightful side. Thanks to her, Mark and the cats( and all the behind the sceners) for the show.
It's a testament to the makeup and lighting engineers that JB could go from ripped hunk to flabby Pat. The effect on our perception of him was tangible.
I was starting to worry! :😉❤
Huge fan of BSG. 62 year old guy. sci-fi nerd since 3rd grade. oddly I did not see the 2003 BSG at the time. Binged out on it in about 2015. Best. Thing. Ever. Serious writing, we'll crafted, acted, written, edited... everything. Enjoying your Galacticast..
I watch and listen at the same time. I've also watched the series pretty much on a loop for years 😁😉🤪 I'm 55 so I saw Boxy then become Atrayu.
I love the fact you guys are doing this podcast. I can't tell you how many times I've watched BSG in it's entirerty including Ronald D. Moore's & David Eick's podcast recordings on the DVD's. This is a new perspective and highly entertaining. Thank you and keep up the great work. I was 15 years old when I first saw the mini series (original air date) and am now 30. I can't even begin to tell you how much this show influenced me into who I am today. Please send my love gratitude to All Cast, Crew, and Composers! Hope that wasn't to weird.
Thank you for putting this together. I now get the enjoyment of watching the series again with my 17 year old.
Loving this! FULL of spoilers so recommend waiting until you've finished watching the series before listening.
I knew this was in the works , Mark mentioned it a few times on FATMAN BEYOND . Super excited to see this podcast get wings !
Seriously this counts as a Christmas present for me..so say we all
