Podcast - 14

We managed to sneak in a podcast right before Thanksgiving. And we had a lot of fun talking about the types of foods we eat. Plus we talked about BSG. I felt we had some really good episodes this week and Joey was still just confused about Starbuck. Don't worry it will end soon Joey.

Oh what a good time we had recording this week! Joey had no idea what was coming. We had our friend Curtis and My Friend Jon Madsen join us to watch the episodes right before we recorded each part of the podcast. The reactions that we got to enjoy were priceless. We really should have recorded this for all of you to see. This tv podcast covers episodes 19 and 20 of Battlestar Galactica Season 3.

Pretty low key podcast this week. Probably the weirdest thing is that I admitted to liking Maelstrom, which is a Starbuck episode. Makes sense that I would like the episode that she dies in. Also, I coined the term: Paper Licker. This tv podcast covers episodes 17 and 18 of Battlestar Galactica Season 3.

We came back strong from our latest break. I think we have had more fun in the first hour of recording than we have had in a while. Joining us was the Intern Aaron, who probably deserves some credit for that. But it's unlikely we will give it to him. Oh and Joey has amended his final 5 list to include Zerrick and remove Duala. His current list includes: Tyrol, Cally, Tigh, Gaeta, & Zarek. Won't he be surprised when Adama ends up being one of the 5? This tv podcast covers episodes 13 and 14 of Battlestar Galactica Season 3.

This weeks episodes were pretty lackluster in my opinion. There were only really a couple things that happened to push the real story along. I am frankly surprised at why they would bother with doing filler episodes. Just make awesome stuff, and if that means your season is shorter, then so be it. This tv podcast covers episodes 7 and 8 of Battlestar Galactica Season 3.

The hybrid is one of the cooler pieces to the Cylon mythos that we have seen recently. The interior of their base-ship was also pretty neat.

Back from our very not relaxing time off. BSG continues to knock our socks off with amazing story and visual effects.
