Up this week is BSG’s season 4.5 episode Blood on the Scales. Joined by Kate Vernon, we discuss Tom Zarek’s final disposition in the good/evil continuum (and lament the loss of the good ideas in which he sadly didn’t believe), note that the Quorum were thankfully not sheep, enjoy how yet again the trust Tyrol inspires in those around him plays a prominent role in crushing the coup, wonder whether Laura believed Adama alive or dead as she maneuvered with the cylons, fear for the (treated like mushrooms) fleet now that Roslin represents almost the entirety of the civilian government, analyze Gaeta’s motives and mistakes, worry that political brinkmanship may continue to hasten the end of the fleet, hear Ms. Vernon’s awesome insight into Ellen tigh, and look forward to Ellen’s return to BSG next week.

We didn’t have time for many calls in last Saturday’s BSG 4.5: The Oath podcast, so we added this mid-week show to take twenty of the over 100 calls we’ve received over the last week. Highlights: lots of Zarek vs. Adamlin discussion, some great why-is-Gaeta-doing-this theories, and lots of general listener goodness.
