(Warning: If you're not caught up through the end of season three, there are definitely spoilers in the podcast.) They talk about the nature of this series, compared to the original and compared to other popular sci-fi franchises. They muse about the mysteries of the Cylon society and each name their favorite BSG character. Who's yours?

My favourite is Starbuck. I didn't see the original, so I didn't know Starbuck was a guy. It must have been quite a different show.

I actually like most of the characters. It was hard to get into at first because there were so many people to keep track of, but once I got into it, I really liked having such a wide range of personalities.

The one thing you didn't mention that I've been curious about is the Six that only Baltar can see/hear, and the Baltar that only Caprica Six can see/hear.

Hi Nicole & Harold! Finally getting to delve into your podcast--I love it! Good thing too, I'm not adjusting well to this every other week dosage of Stash and Burn =p

I'm only up to Episode 5 so my recommendation might be moot but I wanted to suggest My-So-Called-Life on DVD. The writing was so so good, Freaks and Geeks realistic and it attends to both teen and adult concerns like no other show has, IMHO.

It's a scooch melodramatic but worth it!
