In this episode, we try to determine what, exactly, the litmus is that we're testing on. Is it a litmus, or is it a sergeant having a little bit of power going to her head? We also watch the collapse of Chief and Boomer. Apologies for this going up a day late. There were some technical difficulties when editing that put us behind.

In this episode: It's a trap! Baltar is being set up by a Six model who has proof that he worked with the Cylons to bring down the defense mainframe on Caprica. Or does she?

Here we are at part 1 of the season one finale, already! In this episode, we have the discovery of where it all began for the peoples of the 12 colonies, some gross behavior from Lee Adama, some Raider stealing from Kara Thrace, and the beginning of the end for this version of Sharon "Boomer" Valerii.

We've reached the end of the first season, and what an end it was! Roslin and Lee are arrested for mutinous coups! Starbuck and Helo are reunited!

We're back with the first episode of Season 2 of Battlestar Galactica, Scattered! We rejoin the search for Earth and the fight for humanity's survival right where we left off, with Adama being shot and Colonel Tigh has his hands full when they lose the fleet and strand their crash survivors on Kobol. Meanwhile, on Caprica, Starbuck's reunion with Helo isn't going the way either of them would prefer when Sharon steals their way back to Galactica.

Thank you for your patience in getting this episode to you. Jaime had to deal with some life stuff so we had to skip a week. We're back now, though, and here to talk about Starbuck and Helo's awesome friendship, Lee's abilities in a crisis, and Tigh making all the right moves, at least for now.

There's resistance all around in this episode: Roslin and Lee are resisting Tigh's new world order; Starbuck and Helo join forces with resistance fighters on Caprica; Baltar is resisting accountability by tricking Boomer into telling him information and almost killing Tyrol; Cally is resisting civility and decorum by running around like a screeching banshee and eventually killing our dear Boomer; and Adama is resisting death by waking up from his sedation and taking the first steps - literally - to righting the ship.

We spend a lot of time on Caprica this week as Starbuck goes through a truly disturbing experience that hits a little differently in 2023 than it did in 2005.

In an episode that is largely set up for what's to come next, we've got Starbuck's return, Caprica Sharon's introduction to some of our people, James Remar being shifty, Zarek Zareking, and Adama needing a talking to because he's acting like a dick...tator.

We're getting the band back together! Adama comes to his senses and heads to Kobol to reconnect with Roslin and his kids, but there's a surprise in store for him in another Sharon Valerii. Zarek and his goon Meier try to use her to take out the Adamas, but Sharon outsmarts them and does what she can to gain Adama's trust.

Hello! We're back after what was supposed to be a short hiatus and turned into a month due to technological difficulties!

Here we are at the last hurrah before we get to the next phase of the show, with a somewhat disjointed episode where on one side we have a Cylon virus that has infected the ship and it's all very serious, and on the other we've got Chief building a stealth Viper from scratch and it's all very heartwarming.

We've decided that this episode, in which the important issue of banning abortion should be the A plot instead of couched in between the plot of a mediocre white man's paranoia after stumbling into a power position. John Heard is great. The commander he plays is not. Also, Lee Adama is a bad boyfriend. Follow us on the socials!

We're back! Thank you for your patience while we took a short hiatus. We're happy to be back to discuss this episode, even though this is a pretty inconsequential and, frankly, sloppy one to talk about.

Once again the Humans and the Cylons converge on a planet, but things are a little different this time. Everyone wants what Chief has found in a hidden temple, but no one know what it looks like.

This episode's title is confusing because it really has nothing to do with the story being told. Instead, we have the psychological torture of Gaius Baltar, the gaslighting of Dualla by Lee Adama, an attempted murder by Gaeta, and a glorious scene where Roslin truly becomes unhinged.

It's a Helo episode! But, unfortunately, it's not a great episode. We're in this stretch where it seems like behind the scenes things were in flux where the episodes were concerned, and we're left with these uneven stories where things come out of nowhere.

We're back! For some reason Jaime's audio recorded really soft in this episode, so we apologize for that. We did the best we could in editing to punch it up. This episode has the return of Leoben, who gets a much friendlier welcome from Starbuck than anyone is comfortable with. There's the beginnings of a mutiny. There's Tory growing into her Cylon identity. And there's a stellar moment between Chief and Baltar that blew us away. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
