BATTLESTAR GALACTICA | The Eye of Jupiter | Season 3 Ep 11 | Get Frakked
Added 2025-01-14 18:00:03 +0000 UTCHey y'all! These next two ish weeks were recorded before the fires broke out in LA, but we are doing okay! They've got some pretty great control over the current fires and have been fighting the wind and doing an incredible job with it. Things are looking fairly hopeful, but we're still always prepared for anything. Air quality is probably the worst thing at the moment, but we're keeping safe and masking up!
We're diving back into the mythology of the show and boy we're excited about it! Where is the eye?
Thank you all for being here with us on these watch throughs and thank you for always being a supportive and wonderful community!

Hey Ashtara! Thank you so much for this. You're the bees knees 😭🖤 - Kat

2025-01-19 13:48:35 +0000 UTCso... a little bit about the science in BSG as it relates to the story - because you guys kept asking.. The human fleet (at least the Galactica) has a food and water recycling capabilities, which is why we don't see them constantly searching for provisions, and why Boomer bombed the water containers all the way back in season 1 - they support each other by replenishing those provisions, ships that don't have a long term recycling capability routinely dock with Galactica in order to use their better equipment. At the beginning of the last episode, Adama explains that their food storage was accidentally contaminated by a "bad batch" - supposedly from overuse, or one of the other ships, or something broke down and it got into the food - in any case, now all the food is contaminated and recycling it won't get rid of the contamination, so the need to through it all away and start from scratch - meaning they very quickly need to find a large food supply to replenish their reserves. Adama explains that they don't have enough food left to go around the radiation cluster that they are in front of, and their Jump Drives are not as sophisticated as those of the Cylons, so they can't jump through it in one go. It's just where they found themselves when this accident happened. So they started scouting in all directions for a planet that might have enough provisions to restore the contaminated supply, and the only one they found was beyond the radiation cluster - so they needed to find a way to either get everyone there, without them bing run over by the radiation or get the food to them. Since they didn't want to abandon the fleet without protection while Galactica goes on supply runs, they decided to bring all the civilians on Galactica (which has radiation shielding) while they move them, and leave only a skeleton crew on each ship that makes the crossing, in order to minimize the loss of lives. The Raptors provided the jump coordinates calculations for each civilian ship, since the radiation rendered it impossible for the unshielded civilian vessels to do so, which is how we ended with Kat and other pilots having to do multiple crossings accompanying civilian ships each time.

2025-01-18 15:03:41 +0000 UTCNo. No they're not. I'm talking about what's come before; rewind that Cavill/Tyrol conversation. Moore does like to play on viewers forgetting about things. And the Gaius/Jesus comparison is being laid on so thick you'd need a chisel to get it off. 😅

2025-01-14 22:08:12 +0000 UTCBSG was filmed in Canada, so that landscape was British Columbia. The planet was on the other side of the Star Cluster, which was full of radiation. It was also such a HUGE stellar phenomenon that it extended beyond the Fleet's jump range, hence why the fleet had to jump halfway through it, then out again on the other side. The planet is NOT inside the Star Cluster. As for the over-exposure, you aren't the only reactors to note that. It never bothered me though, as I just took it as the showrunners way of depicting alien atmospheric compositions. They aren't on Earth, of COURSE the light is gonna interact with the air differently. And finally, Gaeta notes the sun could go Nova in a day, or a year... sure is lucky the Fleet spent 14 months on New Caprica then. They'd probably have missed it.

2025-01-14 22:07:10 +0000 UTCThis show has to hold the record for ".... to be continued" flashing at the end of an episode. It happens enough that we get it at this point. We will get the rest next week. 😅

2025-01-14 21:54:47 +0000 UTCThe religious iconography and mythos are as workmanlike as usual, but Cylons using their religion to manipulate seems sadly bang on. Interesting use of the word 'convergence' too, as we'll see. And you don't recognise the eye? You've seen it before... Gaius as a Jesus figure? Oh, you just wait and see. That meeting between the Cylons and the Galactica brass was wonderful. Baltar's acknowledgement to Adama was a straight homage to when OG Adama found out about OG Gaius working with the Cylons in BSG78. Plenty of subtle clues as to who the FF are in this batch of eps. Remember the question Tyrol asked Brother Cavill? And speaking of that delightful wretch, he does give off such OG Gaius vibes Speaking of tense standoffs, I hope Anders gives Lee some marriage counselling via a smack upside the head at some point, with a side order of Dee laying the smackdown on Kara.

2025-01-14 21:52:12 +0000 UTCThe Hollywood sign wouldn't be visible, since this was shot in BC. I vaguely recall from the commentary this might have been shot near Kamloops, 150 mi. NE of Vancouver.
