"Daybreak (pt. 2)"
March 20, 2009 - 11:03p.m.
The series finale only had one real question to answer: does humanity deserve to survive?
And the answer comes down to, well ... yes. If we're nice to our robots.
So take a minute. If you have a robot in ...

Daybreak
March 13, 2009 - 07:03a.m.
I'm not ready for Battlestar Galactica to end. I get why they couldn't do a whole 'nother season. And I believe they won't leave any plot threads, character arcs, or major chunks of the mythos unexplained. Little ...

Islanded in a Stream of Stars
March 6, 2009 - 04:03p.m.
I've never served on a ship, never enlisted in the Navy. Maybe that's why I don't care more about the Battlestar Galactica. I'm not broken up about her slow, groaning death, and I'm only feeling ...

Someone to Watch Over Me
February 27, 2009 - 11:02a.m.
In one of his podcasts for the show - which have been distracted, but revealing - Ron Moore made a crack about the planning of the series. I'm paraphrasing, but he half-joked that if he were a smarter man, he would ...

Deadlock
February 20, 2009 - 04:02p.m.
Right now, I feel like I know more about the last however-many millenia of Cylon history, than I do about what they're thinking right this minute. Last week's infodump caught us up with the mythology of the Cylon ...

No Exit
February 13, 2009 - 05:02p.m.
So let's assume - and I'm making a wild guess here - let's assume you're a geek. Tonight's a big test: what kind of a geek are you? Are you most excited: 1. that Ellen Tigh (Kate ...

Battlestar Galactica: season 4, episode 16
Blood on the Scales
February 6, 2009 - 04:02p.m.
In last week’s taut coup, we came as close as we ever have to watching the fleet fall apart and the “good guys” – who, as the show’s creators happily argue, could well be on the wrong side of ...

The Oath
January 30, 2009 - 02:01p.m.
Early in tonight's episode, as Lt. Gaeta kicks off a revolution by secreting Vice-President Zarek out of the brig and off to an escape vessel, Zarek stops to lecture him. As he tells Gaeta, he knows a thing or ...

The Disquiet That Follows My Soul
January 23, 2009 - 04:01p.m.
Sometimes I forget these people live off algae.
I believe it was Edward James Olmos who commented on how bad the folks on the fleet have it. They live in cramped quarters, and they eat algae. I can't even ... -
Battlestar Galactica: season 4, episode 13
Sometimes a Great Notion
January 16, 2009 - 04:01p.m.
Of course, tonight's episode should take its real title from a piece of graffiti on the wall of the Galactica: "FRAK EARTH."Battlestar Galactica has always been, you know, dark. But tonight, right when the Americans and the world ... -
Battlestar Galactica: season 4, episode 12
Revelations
June 13, 2008 - 11:06p.m.
Here was my pet theory on how the season - okay, the mid-season - finale would go: the Fleet finds Earth. They made it! They come into orbit and land the planes. But they're not in the ancient past or ... -
Battlestar Galactica: season 4, episode 11
Hub
June 6, 2008 - 11:06p.m.
But really, this is Laura Roslin's episode. (And by that I mean Mary McDonnell's latest shot at an Emmy.) You'll recall that after Roslin became President in the mini-series, she lost her ex-schoolteacher sensitivities. She started making ...

Battlestar Galactica: season 4, episode 10
Sine Qua Non
May 30, 2008 - 11:05p.m.
Tonight's episode had one purpose: to keep you on the edge of your seat until next week's episode, when we'll see what happened to Roslin, Baltar and the gang after they blipped away on that crippled basestar ...

Guess What's Coming To Dinner
May 16, 2008 - 11:05p.m.
Tonight's creepiest moment comes when the Cylons start talking about motherhood. Natalie, the leader of the rebel Cylons, is talking with Athena and mentions her daughter, Hera. As you'll recall, Hera is the first half-human half-Cylon kid, and ...

Faith
May 9, 2008 - 11:05p.m.
In all the talk about the old, Zeus-led belief system of the human fleet on Battlestar Galactica, nobody's explained their take on the afterlife - whether it's a Hades-like dumping ground, or a cycle of reincarnation, or just nothingness ...

The Road Less Traveled
May 2, 2008 - 11:05p.m.
I like a show with strong female characters. I don't say that to try to score feminist cred or apply for my NOW "He Gets It" award. I'm just selfish: I think leading ladies who stick to the ...

Escape Velocity
April 25, 2008 - 10:04p.m.
Good evening or perhaps morning, dear readers. Our regular Battlestar blogger, Chris Dahlen, is on vacation, so I'll be handling his duties. My BSG geekness doesn't run as deep as Chris'–sometimes I forget who's dead or ... -

The Ties That Bind
April 18, 2008 - 11:04p.m.
Crap! They killed Cally!
Even though last week's trailer actually gave away how the episode would end, I still didn't believe it. My jaw's still hanging open. But let's start with the beginning. The sounds of ... -

Six of One
April 12, 2008 - 12:04a.m.
For someone who was initially dismissed as a crude attempt to sex up the show, Tricia Helfer has emerged as one of the best members of the cast. She's taken on half a dozen different Cylon characters, from Baltar ...

Battlestar Galactica: "He That Believeth In Me"
April 4, 2008 - 09:04p.m.
It's been a year since a new episode of Battlestar Galactica - not counting the Razor mini-movie - and believe me, I've used that time well. I listened to law professors grilling BSG honchos Ronald D. Moore and David Eick ...

Battlestar Galactica
November 24, 2007 - 01:11p.m.
Welcome to the first TV Club write-up of Battlestar Galactica. But don't get too cozy, because this'll be the last one for a while: the show, notorious for its long breaks between seasons, won't be back until ...
