This week’s episode featured a stellar performance from Michael Hogan during the plot about Tigh and Six’s baby in the wake of Ellen’s return, and curious side-plots about Baltar’s Harem and Galactica’s paint drying… yet we couldn’t help but feel like this episode came up short on actual plot. Compared to “No Exit” last week, virtually any episode would feel like it’s standing still, but with only 4 episodes left and SO much more to be explained, by the end of “Deadlock” we were both pretty underwhelmed.

Word Salad. No other term quite sums up this exposition-heavy BEAST of an episode. With many long-standing questions answered and a few more posed, Ellen’s return and Anders’ brain-bullet managed to cause a virtual deluge of mythos from the origin and travels of the final five to the end of the first cylon war, the source of resurrection technology and skin jobs… the list goes on. Needless to say, if you’ve not seen the episode yet, GO WATCH IT!

We had an awesome time in San Francisco at a random BSG/Dollhouse viewing in Presidio with Autumn from the Pasadena Auction/Frak-Party and her AMAZING group of fellow BSG fans. We even got to make Battlestar Cookie Characters. Big win. Thanks SO MUCH for embracing these two Toronto Nomads into your Friday night festivities!

The amazing conslusion of the 2-part Mutiny storyline answered a few questions, but none that Part 1 hadn’t come up with in the first place… which makes us both ask the question: why? Why spend 2 episodes starting and ending a storyline with SO MANY important questions still hanging? We trust in Ron, and we loved this Mutiny storyline and Gaeta’s enormous arc, but we still have to ask why?

~Matt + Nat

Gaeta’s Mutiny is on, and we’ve got murder on the Galactica… it’s like the start of Season two, Cylons not included. And that’s where all the terrifying goodies are. It goes without saying that we loved the episode, and watching one of our most beloved characters get on the wrong side of Adama made use both very uncomfortable. Now THAT’s good TV.

The first proper BSGcast review of the final 10 episodes, we break this beautiful character piece of an episode down into the essential elements and call BS on Ron’s Retcon of Nikki’s parentage. That aside, we’re all smiles about “Disquiet”, because the set-up is clearly going somewhere, and we’re sure it’s gonna be good!

We also throw out a bit of information on the TWO giveaways we’ve got going on right now, the cPanel Flat Panel AND the Alienware Gaming Machine!

Matt gets the chance to chat with the actor behind Galactica’s X.O. Colonel Saul Tigh, Michael Hogan. He talks about being Canadian, his acting career, attending conventions and how much he wants to win the cPanel Flat Panel HDTV we’re giving away! For a character that’s so angry and bitter, the actor sure is a delightful dude! But then again, he DOES live in Canada, so being in Los Angeles in the middle of January puts a smile on any of our faces… even Saul Tigh’s!

This is the fifth and FINAL episode in the cPanel Flat Panel Giveaway!! So watch what Michael and Matt chat about, and give us your opinion, because at the end of January we’ll be choosing the best one on each of the FIVE LIVE BSGcast and randomly selecting one of those five to win a 32″ LCD TV courtesy of cPanel, the Leading Web Control Panel!
