After the powerful, moving brilliance of the last episode, “A Disquiet Follows My Soul” was a letdown, although we had varying reasons why we felt that way. For one in the Quorum, it hinted at an all-too familiar plot path. For another, it was another setup episode. And the Nicky resolution? Cop out! Plus, why Gaeta’s role is a bad …

Galactica Quorum #62 – “Sometimes A Great Notion”
The final episodes begin impressively with “Sometimes A Great Notion.” Among the many bombshells, we discuss Cylon Earth, Starbuck’s eerie discovery and Leoben’s reaction, Dee’s suicide, and oh yeah… the identity of the Fifth Cylon. What an episode! We also tell about our trip to Los Angeles for the BSG Prop Auction and all the activities that we saw and …

Galactica Quorum #59 – “Webisodes (Parts 4-8)”
We continue our discussion of the pre-Season 5 webisodes and gripe about spoilers in the writer commentary. While seemingly a standalone story, we wonder if this event gives us insight into the Eight’s character, and what it could mean for Athena. Unintended spoilers aside, how do you think this story will end? Will its resolution have any effect in Season …

Galactica Quorum #58 – “Webisodes (Parts 1-3)”
We discuss the first three parts of the new “The Face Of The Enemy” webisodes. We break apart the individual segments and discuss the reveal about Gaeta‘s character. This is our first glimpse of the Rag Tag Fleet since the cliffhanger on the devastated Earth, so we attempt to interpret what it could mean for Season Five. The Quorum members …
Galactica Quorum #57 – “BSG Auction Interview”
We talk with Alec Peters from Propworx, who is putting together the massive collection of actual BSG props that are going up for auction next month. The webisodes and Season 5 premiere have official dates, and aren’t far off! Until then, sci-fi TV pickings are slim. We discuss the dearth of quality sci-fi shows and postulate what is to come …

With little BSG news lately, we turn our eye to other sci-fi shows. In this wide-ranging discussion we cover Heroes, Sarah Connor, Buffy, Knight Rider, and even… Alf? This was recorded a few weeks ago, but our complaints with Heroes still hold true. Have you given up on Heroes? Links mentioned: Maureen Ryan’s Chicago Tribune TV blog post about Heroes …
