While I lookforward to a new episode of BSG, I know that it brings us closer to the end of the series and I really don’t want the Watercooler Podcasts to stop. I am a lurker of sorts, checking out the boards and following conversations, but rarely jumping in, but it doesn’t mean I don’t care.

Now I am not a stalker by nature, I am a Connecticut preppy, I might feel the need to stalk you guys to continue posting something. So ultimately my vote is you guys should podcast whatever the heck (sorry Barb) you want to talk about on a given week.

Galactica Watercooler will have a life after the last episode is aired…I hope.

Podcast what you love, Chuck, Audra and Sean.

Of course, it makes sense to try and find podcast worthy things that you love, that other people love also. I love brocolli, but I’m quite sure no one wants me to podcast about that.

If you three hadn’t genuinely loved BSG, I’ll wager that no one would be listening. But the passion is obvious when you guys have a topic you’re interested in.
Perhaps the audience will shrink a bit if you do a Kevin Smith arc (I’ll be listening, however). But I’ll wager that arcs with no passion will kill things off faster than anything else.

Although I’ve never met you, and likely never will, I consider you all my friends. and I like hearing what my friends are interested in. Heck, I never thought I’d care about Firefly until you guys kept going on and on about it. I bought the DVDs and movie and loved every minute of it. I’m all on board with hearing about stuff I might not know about, but which you folk think are worth recommending.

My $0.03.

I haven’t been around much last week for reasons of moving and first real job starting, but yeah, go ahead and do 80s movies, several in one podcast maybe? I’d be totally up for that. As long it’s not comedy-exclusive and we also include the whole breadth of 80s genres: scifi B-movies, bad horror movies, campy-kitschy romance movies (Pretty Woman anyone? Officer and Gentleman?), Simpson/Bruckheimer movies (Yes, I mean Top Gun, what else)!

I’m favor of an 80s arc. I grew up on 80s flicks like the Hughes classics. As for Kevin Smith I see no problem if you are sticking to the Sci-fi theme, There is plenty of Sci-fi/geek culture crossover to justify an arc. I saw the Zack amd Mirii Trailer as well. Two words…. STAR WHORES I’m so there opening day!!!

..Might be the perfect time to branch out into the DTAs.

Personally, I will personally follow you guys and listen in. Even if it means listening to you talk about the 80′s.. the decade when I was still in grade school. Why? Because you guys make everything so damn interesting.

I for one love hearing your sultry voices. I would listen to you discuss the finer parts of Kibble. However. Those movies you mentioned are geek related. Especially anything Kevin Smith does. And the 80′s movies almost always had a lovable geek in them. So go ahead and do what you wish. You have my permission. I wont call you a smeg head.

I agree with the others. There are only 10 original episodes left. I would like to continue to hearing your take on other scifi or pop-culture media. I have only started listening recently, but have began to delve into your earlier podcasts.

I have enjoyed your conversations on BSG and the current arcs (star wars, matrix and the terminator). I find that even though we don’t all watch / read the same things you all do I like to hear about things that I may be interested in. Many “geeks” have similar likes and just being exposed to new ideas can open a whole new world to explore.

Keep on castin’ GWC. You are all the coolest. My wife looks at me funny when I am laughing out loud while listening to a podcast, I can’t help it. Keep up the good work. I’ll continue to listen as long as you podcast.

It is a sin not to have included “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” in a list of 80′s teenage angst movies, if you haven’t seen it, check it out.
(it’s just like transformers).

I’d listen to you guys discuss the alphabet. I stopped coming here for Sci-Fi a long time ago, it’s all about hanging out with people who make me laugh and think and try new things.

I think an 80′s arc would be great because we do have a lot of young (under thirty) folks and they might get a new take on some of these films and how they affected those of us who were teens when they came out. The Breakfast Club is The Big Chill for us GenXers.

Anyway, if you talk about it, I will listen.

I think that, as Battlestar comes to an end, those of us who have been with you from the start will def stick around for our weekly dose of conversation from the three of you. I can only speak for myself but I don’t just listen to the cast because it’s a “sci-fi” podcast, I listen to it because I enjoy hearing your take on some of the stuff I like, be it the Matrix, Terminator or Transformers. When you first started, I did listen because of the BSG aspect, but then it just started to take off and grow into something bigger and wider in scope than just that. Now I listen as much for the feeling of being connected to other like minded people out there as I do for anything else. I know I personally love the john hughes movies in the 80′s, and I am a die hard Kevin Smith fan from ’92, so whatever you want to talk about, ramble on about or comment on, I, for one, will be here to take it all in.

I think you podcast whatever you want. It’s not as if you guys haven’t had the propensity to meander through several different topics even in a ‘cast that’s about a specific BSG episode. I like the diversions anyway….

Agreed with the others. I’d love a Kevin Smith arc or wherever you’d like to take the show. Your discussions are peppered with references and ideas to all kinds of tv and movies I enjoy, not just scifi, and I wouldn’t mind spending some more time on them.

Thanks for the show and keep podcasting what you love.

If we had issues with a podcast staying on topic do you think we’d still be here?

Hell, I’d be willing to listen those ‘casts, especially the Kevin Smith ones. Also, your podcast discussions have led me to investigate a whole range of 80′s movies that I was too young to appreciate at the time.
