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 Daybreak (Parts 1 and 2).

In this SBSG they cover three episodes: No Exit, Deadlock, and Someone to Watch Over Me. What are the dangers of playing God? Genesis stories and Resurrection technology. Shelley and Sartre.

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. We delve into topics like the Mutiny on the Battlestar, the Baltar-Gaeta relationship, the definition of mandala, a “Chekhov’s gun” moment (think Anton Chekhov – not Star Trek’s Mr. Chekov) and much more in another longer episode of SBSG. Spoilers… We could not help it. At the end of the show we had to talk about a couple of subjects that could be considered as spoilers. We provide a little music and fair warning before we talk about them though. Feel free to join the conversation in the comments section of the site or forums.sqpn.com (http://forums.sqpn.com/).

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.

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. This is longer than our other shows because we didn’t edit too much. We just wanted to get it out fast so we can talk about “Sometimes a Great Notion” in SBSG #12.

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 campaign to name one of the newest NASA spaceships after Galactica. Why don’t either the Colonial or Cylon religions have holidays?

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?

Customer Reviews
Beware! This Podcast is addictive
After listening to the first epizode, I just had to hear them all RIGHT NOW. The theories are so right on the spot. You will learn things like type "Air Force Academy Chapel" on google to see a real cylon resurection building :)"
Great theory, Awesome format
Awesome craft of theory! I really enjoy the episodes.
Best BSG podcast ever!!!
Zima and Jeff offer BSG fans an intelligent and thoughtful podcast without peer. Their comments and observations are insightful and extremely thought-provoking. Makes all other Galatica podcasts -- except for Ron Moore's -- sound sophmoric.
