2 years. It was a ton of fun to both put Joey through that torture but also rewatch the reboot. Ron Moore, you did a

fantastic job of reimagining this series. This tv podcast covers the Season 4 and Series Wrapup Battlestar Galactica.

This week we finally put an end to Joey's misery about the

story of BSG. And yes, it is better than Lost. I think every tv finale is going to be compared to Lost for quite a

while, because of how terrible it was. BSG had a comparatively very good finale where they wrap up most of the big

questions. But more, as a retelling of an already beloved tv show, it carved out its own place within SciFi history.

This tv podcast covers the finale of Battlestar Galactica Season 4.

We cover Groundhog Day for our podcast movie special this week.  What a great film by Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Andie MacDowell, and Chris Elliot.  Not only is this a hilarious film but it has a really great message at the end.  Hopefully we can all become the type of people that are wiling to ask others around us: "Is there anything I can do for you today?".  If we can then not only us, but the world around us will be a better place.  Duration: 1h 59m 28s

A reckoning was predicted, and what a reckoning that Gaeta

and Zarek get for their actions. Farewell dear Gaeta. It was really sad to see your decline. Even if it is getting to

the end of the series, it is a gutsy move to kill off two of the main characters. This tv podcast covers episodes 13

and 14 of Battlestar Galactica Season 4.

A return to the podcast after our holiday break. We had to

change plans of recording venue since Joey forgot to bring up the normal recording laptop and so we made a trip back to

the office. Thankfully Joey and I had talked them in to buying all the equipment that we would need. Lots of surprises

in this week, but the best and most sad was the death of Dualla. Gonna miss the heck out of her. This tv podcast

covers episodes 11 and 12 of Battlestar Galactica Season 4.

are both enjoying how things are shaking out with the series, but on top of that we had a really good episode (Guess

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
