GWC Podcast #155: BSG 4.5 Islanded In A Stream Of Stars

I assumed they didn’t go get the folks that have already left the ship. Figured the bodies at the services were those that died but were still within the confines of the ship. Maybe they got stuck on a strut or gantry or something.

I’ve been confused by that too. Your analysis makes a lot of sense. I guess Hera will end up being raised by Caprica and Baltar. Poor child.

They freeze all right. Vacuum insulates from conduction of heat, but not radiation of heat. Matter surrounded by absolute zero will radiate pretty well. However, they won’t flash-freeze, I don’t think… you need a conducting medium like super-cold air for that, I believe.

I agree, this makes sense. The only tenuous fact I hold onto to support my theory is that Head6 told Baltar repeatedly in season 1 and 2 that Hera was ‘their’ child. The fact that a head character would be the first to describe Hera as a gift from God, and that the Head characters could possibly be this reality’s ‘angels’ seems to make sense to em.

Admittedly, this could then make the Opera House couple Head6 and Baltar. But this wouldn’t be the first time that BSG math hasn’t immediately added up.

Is it Friday yet?

I guess my public school physics teacher didn’t fill me in on that one. I guess I though it was a balance between boiling flesh because of no air pressure and freezing flesh because of an absolute zero temp. I think I remember seeing something like that in a movie called “Mission to Mars.” Of course “Event Horizon” is creepy too.

Either way, good to know there’s a Galactica Space Debris Team out there doing some search and rescue of floating bodies.

Good point. I think sick bay was filled up with a lot of hurt people too. Maybe they all didn’t make it. And we can’t forget the 8 who said ‘thanks Dad’ to Tigh and then died.

I’ll add mine too- Isn’t it Friday yet? The tension is really getting to me.

so ive been saving last weeks podcast ALL WEEK, just so i could savor the flavor today and be ready for tonight… well i FORGOT my mp3 player @ home WTF…

<-------- is extremely dissapointed in self

it’s okay, beef. it’s mostly about chili.

i’m annoyed rdm didn’t bother to drop one (or aat least not thru itunes).

i have been checkn 4 rdm’s podcast each morning, with no luck … ill blame forgetting my mp3 player @ home on Rdm

Enjoy your show guys. For these last shows can you stay on topic and focus on BSG…thanks

i love it when they stay on topic too, but its even more enjoyable when they go off on tangents bout any/everything… like chill, games, and sheep :slight_smile: BAAaaaaaaaaa

Yeah, that’s the “watercooler” aspect of the 'cast. It’s about BSG, sure, but also about Chuck’s eccentric pronunciation, Audra’s hairstyle observations, and Sean’s sheep noises.

A podcast of sheep noises would be okay with me.

i like the conversational nature of the 'cast, myself. in a 2 hour 'cast there’s usually a good 70+ minutes of BSG, and it’s atually kind of nice to have it broken up by the funny sidetracking.

as mentioned, if you take the gwc cast at its name, it’s a watercooler discussion, not a drill-down.

So say we all.

Damn NBTR. You’ve been a busy poster! :smiley:

And after 155 casts it would just be weird for one of them to be on topic and focused. We’d all be calling in and asking what the hell happened to the off topic craaap.

Missed ya Cody. Been busy? So you ready for the next episode?

I used to get PO’ed when they’d go offtopic, but this is without a doubt one of the best podcasts available. If they rambled on for five or six hours it would be fine by me.
