This week Shaz and Scott watch the first episode of the original Galactica that isn't about establishing the premise and mythology of the show.

It's a fire!  In space! And of course, it has to be put out...or else! The midseason finale of the original Battlestar Galactica is upon us and it...is kind of a letdown from the Living Legend. Join Shazbazzar and Scott Ryfun as they watch and comment upon Classic Galactica 40 yahren later!

Shaz and Scott return from the midseason break for what may well be the finest hour for the series. Patrick MacNee is Count Iblis in War of the Gods! Shaz is on fire in this episode, full to the brim with knowledge and discussion of the subtext.

The conclusion to the epic 2-parter that is regarded by many as a fulfillment of the promise of the original Battlestar Galactica.  Like Star Wars it leans on heavy religious and spiritual iconography. We just happen to have Shazbazzar on our side to help us decipher it all.

Released 40 yahrens to the day it originally aired, we comment on Patrick MacNee as Count Iblis in War of the Gods Part II.

Starbuck has always been an orphan...or is he? A man appears in the fleet, who may well be Starbuck's long lost father. Special guest star Fred Astaire hoofs his way through this episode as Chameleon, teh Man with Nine Lives. Join Shazbazzar and Scott Ryfun as Starbuck goes all 23 And Me...

Well, real life intervened and took us a tad off schedule, but we're still watching the original Battlestar Galactica and comenting on it, all the while loving it.  This week, Baltar, with the help of the Eastern Alliance, the Borellian Nomen, and a whole bunch of wigs, escapes. Join Shazbazzar and Scott Ryfun as we travel back 40 yahren to watch the waning days of the original BSG

Well, we're into the home stretch of the original Battlestar Galactica some 40 years later. This time an episode that has Donald Bellisario's fingerprints all over it. But it's not quite as fun as we remember it. Join Shazbazzar and Scott Ryfun as they watch Experiment in Terra.

We turn the clock back to April 1, 1979 as Shazbazzar and Scott Ryfun take a spin through the penultimate episode of the original Battlestar Galactica. It's an episode they both remembered with fondness but that fondness all drains away as they realize the episode is largely a budget saving episode. And boy, does it show!
