Hey, Recaptica fans! Something new from Rick and Dave: We're starting with a Star Trek Picard "precap," then we'll go on to recap the first episode of the new series -- and maybe more! Hope you'll join us. We missed you!
We're back! It took awhile, but as promised, we returned to the Galactiverse for one last hurrah. Actually, more like one last "meh." Because while we did find some redeeming elements in this half-baked "Plan," we're not sure it's required viewing. It's definitely required listening, though, because we also spend some time talking about Star Trek Discovery, The Orville, The Umbrella Academy, and even...
Finally, the finale! It's bittersweet to say goodbye -- not just to this monumental TV show, but to everyone who's watched and listened along with us. Thanks so much for joining us on this amazing journey. And get ready for what's next! Yep, we're doing Travelers.
Get ready for the non-stop action thrill-ride that is the middle act of the series finale.
It's the (beginning of the) end of the world as we know it, and we feel fine. Why not commemorate the show -- and the podcast -- with some awesome Battlestar Recaptica swag?
Let's all sing together: "Islanded in a stream (of stars) / That is what we are / No one in-between / How can we be wrong?" Sorry, we just thought some Bee Gees might make up for this uneven episode. We watched the extended cut... and don't necessarily recommend you do likewise.
AKA "Ghost Dad." AKA "Battlestar Gershwinica." AKA "Boom-er goes the dynamite."
Also, the co-author of "So Say We All" (the book, not our show sign-off) stops by to share some fantastic stories about the show!
Maybe they should have called it Meh-lock? A plodding, non-sensical misfire in an otherwise wonderful season.

Felix Gaeta swore an oath when he put on that uniform, but he betrays it in this episode. We swore an oath to bring you as many cast-members as possible, and we are honoring that promise with none other than Jamie "Apollo" Bamber! Therefore: We > Gaeta.
And when a disquiet catches up to my soul, it's a bloodbath. Meanwhile, there's a whole lotta fomenting going on. Join us for a breakdown of Ron Moore's first stint in the director's chair! (Spoiler alert: he did great!)
Dualla herself joins us to discuss one of the most wrenching episodes to date. Meanwhile, Tigh and Adama have it out in one of the most wrenching scenes to date. Did we mention this episode was wrenching?
"Wait a second... you can't be a Cylon. You used to have HAIR!" Come to think of it, what real proof DO the Final Four have that they're Cylons? A shared love of Jimi Hendrix? Plus: A Battlestar Recaptica super-fan joins us to talk BSG!
D'Anna returns (yay!), Baltar fesses up (whoa!), and Roslyn has visions (ummm... no thanks!).
No this, no that. Sine Qua Non. Turns out the Galactiverse speaks Latin -- and so does Adama! That's the good news; the bad news is that Romo Lampkin returns, and not in a good way.
Oooh! Is it Sidney Poitier? Oh, right: what. Okay, then our money's on a toaster. Just make sure you're not serving toast! Because awkward...

Faith takes many forms: faith in your commanding officer, faith in one or more gods, faith in the babble of a gal lying in a tub of goo...

What is the "road" in this episode? Discuss. (We have absolutely no idea.)
