SBSG #16 - Islanded in a Stream of …meh

Finally after illnesses, technical difficulties, and life with a newborn we are able to talk about the finale of Battlestar Galactica.  We had to break down our 2+ hours of analysis into three parts.  This is part one.  We talk about the good, bad and the “meh” of Islanded in a Stream of Stars and [...]

SBSG #14 - Gaeta’s Lament

Jeff and Zina discuss two episodes “The Oath” and “Blood on the Scales.”  These two shows conclude a powerful story arc that follows Felix Gaeta, and it is probably the best executed storyline in the whole series.

SBSG#13 - Too Many Starbucks

Jeff and Zina discuss the episode “A Disquiet Follows My Soul.”  Light on the theology this week, but still an episode full of questions. We recommend re-watching “Maelstrom” and
“Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down.”

SBSG #12 - Descended into Hell

SBSG #12 - Descended into Hell

Jeff and Zina discuss the BSG premiere, ‘Sometimes a Great Notion’. We know who the 12th Cylon is, but we don’t know what Starbuck is.  And the Colonial-Cylon fleet is depressed.  We talk about that and more on this longer episode of SBSG.

SBSG #11 - Webisodes

Jeff and Zina discuss the 10-part webisodes that aired before the premiere. Also, we talk quite a bit about mythology and religious symbolism in general.  And we question our Helo theory.

SBSG #10 - What Child is This?

Jeff and Zina are back after a whole lot of life going on.  We are getting ready for the start of the final installment of BSG on January 16.  We take a look at The Captain’s Hand and Downloaded and life issues.  Baby Hera/Isis and the theme of resurrection.  Jeff wants to start a writing [...]

SBSG #9 - A Man Called Saul

Jeff and Zina explain the significant event that has kept them from podcasting.  We talk about the feedback from some of our listeners and recent political posters.  We ask questions like: Are there similarities between Saul Tigh and Saul of Tarsus (a.k.a. St. Paul)?  Is BSG headed toward a technological singularity?
