GWC Podcast #149: Call Show
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.

Dammit, Homer.
I was the one who called in and said that Niki was not the Chief’s baby way back in the day. I thought it was Baltar and that got Audra to say hot dog. I’ve been using that podcast to prove I was right ever since they confirmed it.
Which ‘cast was that, Wacko?
Hi guys–Just after the halfway mark a theory was put forward about why the show made such a big deal about Gaeta messing with his stump, looking like he was going to pull something out of his prosthetic or some other sneaky act. But Gaeta was acting on a signal from one of his conspirators that there was other traffic in the corridor they were about to enter, people that they couldn’t necessarily trust not to intercept them on their way to the hangar deck. Stopping to mess with his leg was a plausible excuse to keep the party in the little hallway and escape notice until the corridor cleared (when the other team member signalled to Gaeta that the coast was clear) and they could get to the hangar deck without incident.
