Episode #77 - “Caprica”

Category: Podcast Episodes

We delve into the Caprica movie and ponder how well it fits in the Battlestar Galactica universe, from production design to technology to story continuity.  We scrutinize the hedonistic Virtual Club and the teen angst genesis of the Cylons–do the Cylons truly have Artificial Intelligence?

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

Come see us at Balticon! It runs May 22-25, and our live panel will be on May 24, at 7pm.

The Virtual Avatars that made up the Quorum were Brian, Michele, and Jason.

Episode #74 - “Production Interviews”

 We begin our post-BSG coverage with interviews with some of the talented people involved in the show’s production.  Recorded at the first prop auction in January, we talked to Glenne Campbell (Costume Designer), Ken Hawryliw (Prop Master), and Kevin Grazier (Science Advisor).

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!
