Battlestar Galactica - Original Series watch-thru. The Mackem and the Manc.

[Re-uploaded after falling foul of the disco police] Oh no, Katie's totally gone with the end of this. She's still crying now, days after recording. Just wait till War of the Gods. We'd better top up the tissues for that one. This one has so much, we get "sealings" i.e. weddings, Egypt, Baltar double treble quadruple crossing, and of course, one of the most heartbreaking scen...

After the barn storming pilot/movie/film/whatever of Saga of a Star World we are straight into the monster two-parter of Lost Planet of the Gods. This one is brilliant, and because it has everything, Katie kindly gives us a quick primer of Ancient Aliens and the Mormon religion so we are armed and ready to spot all the tropes. Katie also gives us her reaction to the controversial 'sexy' sc...

Colin apologises. He got Battlestar wrong in the first two proper episodes - so there's a grovelling apology. Or we blame the beer, one of the two. We finally find out what happened to the screamy woman in the lift with feathers in her hair (no spoilers now!). Carrilon blows up because, of course, the Death Star did. Colin finds the Ovion mines kinky, Sire Uri is the comedy light relief, Starbucks...

God help Colin and all that spandex, lip gloss and penis-headed robots. Back to Battlestar, the battle is over, the survivours have been rounded up and we're on the way to Earth. Only problem is they are running out of fuel. So aft...

There are those who believe... Sit down and strap yourselves in for our first proper episode, and we are straight in with the destruction of the Galactian fleet and the end of life as we know it, apart from one remaining Battlestar. As a cheat, we've chunked the mammoth first episode into three parts so you guys don't have to have three hours of Colin swearing and Katie going 'what wha...

After the glorious success of Space: 1999, we now turn our attentions to the feather hair and tin-can robots of Battlestar Galactica (original series). The premise is simple - Colin is a monster sci-fi geek who knows loads about Battlestar Galactica, Katie also loves her sci-fi but has never seen the show. Katie drinks wine, Colin enjoys a beer, we watch the show together and enjoy what's happ...
