Richard was an engaging and friendly advocate for the show. I was fortunate to have met him a few times over the years, and he appeared as a guest on our podcast a couple times. He was always a wonderful spirit, and so passionate about what made Battlestar Galactica great.

As a tribute, here we replay an interview we did from 2009. He will be missed…So say we all.

We also look at some of the biggest board games to be introduced at GenCon this year, like SeaFall, Mansions of Madness (2nd Edition), Star Trek: Ascendency, and RuneWars. What games are you looking forward to?

We also dish about the level of privacy we forfeit when using our phones and devices. And for our gaming segment we praise the work of Naughty Dog and their masterful Uncharted series.

On the gaming side, we also share strategies for playing Star Wars Battlefront. We cover the gamut from tabletop games to a mini review of the Oculus Rift VR headset.

Check out our online conversation on the new Talkshow app!

Also we discuss news of a new Indiana Jones movie with an even older Harrison Ford, and breaking down the Rogue One trailer.

In this episode we begin our SW:TFA coverage by recounting when we first became Star Wars fans, the level of our fandom, and whether we had faith in the new movie.

We also dish about the upcoming “Superhero fights other Superhero” movies.

And so far, it's been a treat. At the point of this episode, we've seen the first four webisodes. We discuss the actors, the varying effectiveness of the green screen, and the mix of BSG and Caprica lore.

Thanks to all who has stuck around in the five years that we’ve been doing this podcast! It’s my sincere hope to start doing a regular podcast again, covering all that’s worth covering in sci-fi and fantasy.

Looking ahead to Blood and Chrome, is the BSG franchise played out?

We scratch our heads over Clarice and her plan, Geminon's virtual sets, and the focus on the STO. But the biggest WTF came from the last scene. The show took a turn there, but we're not sure it was a good one.

He also provides a behind-the-scenes look at some of the production decisions for several key episodes, including some scenes that didn't make the final cut.

Was it an effective mid-season cliffhanger? Does anyone care whether Amanda lives or dies? Or believe that the U-87 is toast? The call to Daniel--from whom? And is he relevant now that his company royally frakked up the robot project?

New Cap City has turned into a disappointment, but we still would like to know--where's Tamara?

News of a new BSG spinoff has us undeniably excited. Meanwhile we try to forecast what changes may be in store for Caprica, now that the show has supposedly taken a new, firmer direction.

Instead, we are left to roll our eyes over the creepy tech guy, and Clarice's slapstick spywork.

The virtual world seems completely at odds with the hard-wired BSG universe, but we're hopeful for story potential. Still, we can't help but muse about some of the missed turns that the show has taken.

At this point, what characters are drawing you in? Do you mind seeing actors from BSG in different roles on Caprica?

We also question what the producers were thinking when they first conceived the show's tone being "ironic." They acknowledge that they've made some changes...what would you change?

We look ahead to what this type of show will be, and whether it has mass appeal--all the while, still pining for the show we wish they had made, about the first Cylon war.

We discuss the actual plan (or lack thereof), Hera's absence, and Cavil's role as the mastermind. Among the bright spots, we examine Boomer's struggle and Simon's better-late-than-never characterization.

We also ponder the climate into which Caprica will be emerging. Has the passion among the BSG fanbase dimmed?

Thanks for talking with us, Doug!

We had a great audience that brought terrific viewpoints to the discussion. Thanks to everyone who came out to see us!

In this first segment, we cover the BSG presence at D*C 2008: the Q&As, the autograph signings, and the Colonial Fleet party.

We lament some of the character and story choices that led to the rocky start of the first several episodes, but the momentum leading up to the season finale gives us confidence that the series has found its footing.

We ask, where does BSG fit in the SciFi pantheon, finale and all? We then switch gears to Caprica.

We had several participants from the audience give their opinions, and we also polled them about whether they had interest in "Caprica" or "The Plan." The results were surprising!

We consider where the series could go, and reveal some potential future storylines from key scenes that were only in the script.

There are many elements to discuss, and for this episode we begin with the main points of contention: Starbuck's angelic destiny, "God," and Cavil's suicide.

We find out some of the design cues that differentiated the wardrobe of the Eight models, what became of the original Colonial Blaster (Sidearm), and the scientific vetting that goes on once the writers submit a story. Thanks to Glenne, Ken, and Kevin for talking with us!

More in-depth analysis and coverage are to come, including feedback and opinion from listeners. What did you think?

Did the flashbacks serve a purpose? And can they still wrap things up in time? Will some mysteries, like Starbuck's past and the nature of the Head characters, remain unresolved?

We also offer final theories and pose the question: will you really be satisfied if the show ends darkly, knowing there will never be another episode to make amends?

With only two episodes remaining we revisit the rapidly approaching finale and the possible fates for Galactica and the key characters.

With little worthwhile to chew on from this episode, we turn to predictions and conjecture. Have we been given the key clue to Starbuck's legacy? What role has Daniel played so far? And how does Baltar fit in?

Were the revelations too much too fast? And what of the previously unknown Model Seven?

Thank you, Richard, for talking with us!

If the heart-quickening mutiny wasn't enough, we also examine other storylines tucked in the episode: What happened to Anders? Was Romo's appearance worthwhile? And what is happening to Galactica?

And the Nicky resolution? Cop out! Plus, why Gaeta's role is a bad thing on a couple levels.

We also tell about our trip to Los Angeles for the BSG Prop Auction and all the activities that we saw and participated in. A few L.A. podcasts are in the production pipeline--watch for those in the coming weeks. It was also great meeting online friends in person for the first time!

We got a ton of interviews and material from the weekend, and have also recorded our own discussion the episode with the usual Quorum. That will be following shortly.

Unintended spoilers aside, how do you think this story will end? Will its resolution have any effect in Season 5? How does this webisode compare to previous webisode series?

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.

Until then, sci-fi TV pickings are slim. We discuss the dearth of quality sci-fi shows and postulate what is to come in the era of tight television budgets and copycat reality shows.

This was recorded a few weeks ago, but our complaints with Heroes still hold true. Have you given up on Heroes?

He also mentions his latest role on Joss Whedon's "Dollhouse." A big thanks to Tahmoh for taking the time to sit down with us!

The fall TV schedule is gearing up and we revisit "The Sarah Connor Chronicles." Some killer games are coming out this month as well, but Michele has some things to say about Spore.

Thanks to Mark for taking the time to talk with us!

Just a reminder, we have lots of material planned for the offseason! Send us your ideas, speculations, and suggestions ... keep that correspondence coming!

We also lay out of plans for the offseason, including an upcoming Season Four review, and much more! Stick around!

We also propose a story for what might make a good BSG episode (think "Bushwhacked" from Firefly) and pitch an idea for a new BSG spinoff. We also do a roundup of some of the summer's sci-fi movies.

Our next show will resume our regular discussion of the latest BSG episode ("Sine Qua Non") and catch up on listener emails and voicemails.

We praise all the new developments and building momentum, including the fragile alliance, Hera, the opera house, Roslin and Baltar jointly seeing the hybrid, Natalie's fate, and the cliffhanger ending.

We discuss Tigh and Chief's deteriorating mental states, ponder Roslin's fate, and state the case for Tory being evil (and not just "misunderstood").

Plus, we ask Katee Sackhoff questions at a SciFi teleconference, and catch up on voicemails and emails.

Caprica is greenlit! But will it satisfy your BSG craving?

Additionally we bring up "Torchwood," "Dr. Who," and the latest XBox 360 games that we're playing.

Plus, we dish on the mid-season finale of "Heroes."

Also mentioned: our take on the writer's strike. Be sure to enter our contest! Special note- due to website downtime, we've extended the contest deadline to December 14, not November 30 as mentioned in the podcast.

True to our role as the scrappy underdog, we were forced to record on a PC with 256MB of RAM. Yes, they still exist. No, I didn't think XP could run on that either. The resulting recording had some blips and dropoffs so we apologize for that, but nothing too bad. I was able to clean up the worst of it.
