With Cloud 9 gone, it was only a matter of time before we got a bar on the Galactica. Because you know how your wife is like . . . ugh? Marriage, no thanks. Women, amirite? This guy knows what I'm talkin' about! We've found out something EXTREMELY important in this episode: Cheers exists in the BSG universe. Which means, even more importantly, so does Frasier . There's also a truth serum and some wholly unethical torture going on in this one, but if the Cheers theme song exists, then Cheers exis...

There's trouble in Cylon paradise for our favorite thruple. Galactica has visitors (some more welcome than others).

Someone poisoned the water hole, and the colonial fleet is giving new meaning to the word hangry. Roslin and co. have devised a really (reallyreally) risky plan to get folks fed, but it involves a whole lotta luck and radiation, and if you've been watching the same Battlestar Galactica that we have, then you know one of those is in short supply. In Set Condition One news, President Andrea makes a SHOCKING confession about last week's edit. Will she ever earn back Kitzy's trust?! Y'all. This is a...

Adama and the rest of the Battlestar Galactica crew are cranky. They're working it out. With their fists. Is there a therapist in the house?

Is it really possible that we've reached the halfway point of our Battlestar Galactica (re)watch? We're taking a moment to catch our breath and look back on where this last season has taken us: the ups and downs, the highs and lows, the Tighs and . . . woes? Look, it's been a rollercoaster of a season. Who has time to write poetry when there's an election to steal, a pyramid player to rescue, and a fabled planet to find?

Whoa! It's the season two finale of both Set Condition One AND Battlestar Galactica. What're the odds? In this, the second half of "Lay Down Your Burdens," it appears the Cylons have, for the time being, decided to leave humanity to its own devices; Kara brings her new boyfriend home to meet Dad; we find out the results of the presidential election—the events of which might strike just a bit to close to home for anyone listening in 2021. And, we might just add another name to the list of confirm...

We've reached part one of the season two finale of Battlestar Galactica ! In this episode, we learn about Tyrol's night troubles, meet a member of the Galactican clergy—who may or may not be related to our beloved Doctor Cottle—and get ourselves wrapped up in one of humanity's oldest debates: Which is better? Wawa or Sheetz ? (This means nothing to you if you don't live in a very specific area of the United States, but just know there's only one correct answer. And it's Wawa. Go Birds.) Update o...

This episode takes us back to Caprica, where we get to see what at least a few of the Cylon models have been up to, lo these last 9 months. There's much more tree planting than you might guess. We also check in with The Resistance, led by Starbuck's boyfriend, Anders (the pyramid player?!), and it looks like it's go time for Sharon and Helo's baby. This is wild one, ...

Cylon sympathizers are causing trouble throughout the fleet; Sharon's baby's blood is "damned peculiar," and to top it off, it's looking like the end of the road for President Roslin. But before she shuffles off this mortal coil, we get some flashback action. And of course, it wouldn't be an episode of Set Condition One without some Very Accurate Science™️.

This week, Adama and Cain get called to the principal's office; Starbuck returns at an inopportune moment, and Caleb still hasn't cleaned his leftovers out of the company refrigerator.

CW: This episode of Battlestar Galactica deals with torture and sexual assault. We learned that there are multiple cuts of the episode. For most viewers, we strongly recommend the 45min cut that is streaming on Peacock TV. When a ship jumps into DRADIS range broadcasting Colonial transponder codes, our crew is understandably skeptical. But is it a dream, or did another Battlestar really survive the Cylon attack? That's cause for celebration, right?! Definitely nothing will go wrong when an ambit...

Journalist D'anna Biers has been given unlimited access to the Galactica and her crew in order to tell the real stories of the fleet's protectors. But does she have other motives? By asking that question, am I confirming that she does? Will she give the people of the fleet a fair story, or will she reveal Galactica's darkest secrets? Why is even their TV formatted as an unnecessary octagon?? That's a lot of questions - you should probably watch the episode & then listen to us answer them. Vi...

In what we believe was a midseason finale (why is that even a thing??) we encounter yet another 2-part episode. So we of course recorded both back to back and absolutely nothing went wrong. Why would you even say that? The real takeaway from this episode is that Dr. Cottle needs his own spinoff - like MASH, but in space. We grapple with the real issues: How to get out of a ravine Who has the more badass name, Wolf Blitzer or Bear McCreary? When did Gaius take up pretentious smoking? Don't forget...

And even though we're missing SC1 Actual Caleb and our XO, Kitzy, Dr. Cohen makes sure there's at least ONE Futurama reference in this episode.
