Seeking some resolution, Amity and Lemuel watched Battlestar Galactica’s first season finale. Is there a baby? Is Boomer okay? Why can Baltar act like this in public? Is humanity at an end?

We've all come a long way. It's been 50 days since the original cylon attack and it's official - everyone has lost their damn minds. We ponder what anyone is thinking, if anyone has a grasp on reality and why oh why did she sleep with him?! Watch Battlestar Galactica with us - available on Hulu and Amazon Prime.

As we watch this episode we compare it to the hypothetical inspiration, the West Wing, we dig on Starbucks utter bad-assery, and we are grateful for Baltar’s expanding motive, if not for his expanding sex life. Also, Helo has the worst day and we feel for him. Watch Battlestar Galactica with us - available on Hulu and Amazon Prime.

This week we watched a WWII film inspired episode nominated for an Emmy for visual effects. It’s a busy one, but the action is hot and the takes are hotter. We finish off with some sound advice and left of center recommendations. Watch Battlestar Galactica with us - available on Hulu and Amazon Prime.

Logic has left the building on this week’s episode of Battlestar Galactica and Amity has a real question for the audience – help her, help all of us. Is she missing something? Is Baltar funny in 2005 and profoundly not in a post me-too era? What’s going on? Why are all the choices bad and all the women worse?

Amity cannot stop swearing as we discuss this episode of BSG and two very large, very glaring issues with the overall situation. We ask some hard questions, challenge the sanity and cylonness of everyone on the call sheet, and Amity says MFer like she’s channeling Samuel L. Jackson.

Amity and Lemuel spend the week confused and judgey: How come no one believes the truth when it is told to their faces? How can everyone believe that they are perfect judges of character? Will Billy ever live up to his new post? And why are cylons anti doggy-style, and why can they have orgasms at all? The big questions asked – if not answered – in this week’s episode.

Amity and Lemuel watch Litmus, and miss the reason for the episode title entirely. We debate who is a cylon (why haven't we done that before?) and who is just a dumb human. We are reaching the end of tolerance for planet shenanigans and but we still love this so much more than Twin Peaks, so that's something.

Amity and Lemuel get into the what and when of Battlestar as we recap the second episode. Amity is holding firm to her beliefs on the timeline, while Lemuel is perplexed by the what that is happening to Boomer.

Amity and Lemuel watch the first episode of the reimagined BSG. We are happy to see a living Helo and Amity thought everyone was asleep, but we quickly find that that is pretty much the opposite of what is happening. One episode in and the show is already bringing us exactly what we want from a sci fi show. Watch Battlestar Galactica with us - available on Hulu and Amazon Prime.

Picking up where we left off, we discuss tough decisions, what’s a reference to something else, the existence of Earth, who or what these “people” are, and are genuinely shocked at the last scene. We also add grades and a who won the episode segment (thanks to Back to the Futurama (http://listen.backtothefuturama.net/) and Dawson’s Speak (https://dawsonsspeak.libsyn.com/) for the ideas – these are both super fun podcasts – you should also check them out).

The fourth season starts strong as we dig into the Battlestar Galactica reimagined miniseries. We look for an analog for Baltar, try to dig into Number Six’s motives and guess who is gonna fight and when (and we learn, too late, that xo is executive officer).

Amity and Lemuel watch Daniel Craig and Liev Schreiber and their terrible accents as Belarusian Brothers the Bielskis who saved 1200 Jewish Belarusians from the Nazis during WWII. It’s a heavy movie but a light discussion. We also give a peak to what’s coming in Season 4 in 2019 and what other podcast projects we might have coming down the pipeline.

Lemuel and Amity dive into the Old Testament with 1998’s The Prince of Egypt. We are confounded by the choice to release this at Christmas and target it at kids – until we see the box office numbers. Then we talk about our favorite seasonal treats in a segment about Christmas movies (yes, we talk about Die Hard, okay?)
