Love Battlestar Galactica, More Tricia Helfer
I am a huge fan of the show and have watched the BSG-TRS series many times through. This podcast came at a perfect time, starting just before the COVID lockdown. Revisiting all the political, religious, and social theme in BSG during this season was epic.
There are a couple things I found annoying:
1) the podcast doesn’t really know where they want to stand on spoilers. Since they are including guests (and some for only a single episode!), it would have been nice to not worry about the spoilers. After all, it has been more than a decade, let the people tell their stories!!).
2) Marc Bernardin, who is no doubt a clever writer, does a lot of mansplaining as a podcast host, especially when there are female guests on the show. I’m guessing this is why so many reviewers have called him “annoying”. He probably doesn’t realize that he defers to male guests, but talks over and rambles on with female guests (including sometimes even his co-host, Tricia, who is amaazzzzzing!!).
All said and done, I loved listening to the podcast. Thank you for revisiting this show in a format I can enjoy while out for a walk.
Political Bias
The political commentary is condescending, and not necessary.
A great companion to the series
Tricia and Marc make a great team, dissecting one of the best TV series of all time. The early 'drunk' episode may have been fun to record, but it was annoying to listen to. I'm glad it was not a case of "All of this has happened before and all of this will happen again." Thank you, Marc. Thank you, Tricia. I hope your cats are doing well!
