Welcome to Set Condition One, a Battlestar Galactica Fancast! Veteran Night Shift hosts (and BSG fans) Caleb & Kitzy are joined by our newest team member Andrea, who has never seen a single BSG episode! In the Pilot, we discuss what Andrea thinks Battlestar Galactica is about, the astrological origins of the 12 colonies, and Andrea's favorite ghostbuster Virgon Spengler. We'll also tackle the hard-hitting question - what exactly does CAG stand for?

Join us for new episodes every Tuesday!

Welcome back to Set Condition One! Andrea's BSG journey officially begins with Miniseries, Part 1. Much like Laura Roslin, Andrea gets an unexpected promotion to President of the Twelve Colonies.

After 40 years of uneasy peace, the Cylons are back, the war is on again, and the fate of humanity is on the line. Is the Galactica, a decommissioned Battlestar-turned-museum, up to this fight?

Oh, and by the way... the Cylons look like us now.

Humanity is on the run - Galactica's munitions are restocked, but the fleet is outnumbered. What's worse - the Cylons look like us now! How many are walking among the colonists now? What is their plan?

After narrowly escaping Ragnar Anchorage, Commander Adama drops a bombshell of his own - but can it really be true, or is it just too good?

Join us, listener, and find out! So say we all!

It's season 1, episode 1. The Cylons have been tracking the fleet through FTL jumps, every 33 minutes without fail. But how? President Roslin makes a tough choice, Lee wrestles with the consequences, and Andrea's notebook is noisy. Also, Ira Glass is a Cylon.

SABOTAGE! Someone has set explosives in Galactica's water tanks, venting over half the fleet's supply into space. We're pretty sure we know who did it... but do they? (DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUNNNNN)

We also discuss Triad, BSG's version of poker. Turns out, it's just poker.

It's Bastille Day, so of course we're here to talk about Bastille Day! And yes, we did plan the entire launch of this podcast around this moment.

This week we discuss the lights out performance of Richard Hatch as Tom Zarek, and his connection to the original BSG series. We also ask the really hard-hitting questions - where have all the Counts gone? Does Tigh ever run out of whiskey? Can you drink salt water? (No, please don't do that)

A party on the flight deck ends in tragedy, and suddenly Galactica finds itself left with only 21 pilots (no, not the band - and yes, we did look it up). Starbuck is tasked with training a bunch of rookies, but can she get past her guilt over Zak Adama's death? Will the Ready Room turn into the Hotdog, Chuckles and Kat show, or can these nuggets get serious and pass basic flight? Will the people of Pittsburgh ever see stars? Find out this week on Set Condition One!
