Xhafer:

Hello and welcome to Who Are You?

2

:

This is a reasonably well done sci-fi

watch cast hosted by two former strangers,

3

:

now friends who were currently watching

:

4

:

I'm Jair.

5

:

LAura: And I'm Laura, and uh, I'm

really sorry to report that I still

6

:

have sinuses and they are still terrible

7

:

Xhafer: It has been like, it was so

cold today, like it was no, no, my

8

:

driveway has been ice for two weeks.

9

:

LAura: Oh, not jealous of that.

10

:

No.

11

:

Xhafer: It's been bad, but today in

particular, it was just the right

12

:

combination of was raining and

sleeting and then dropped real cold.

13

:

So it's this very moist cold.

14

:

Like, I've done a fair amount

of traveling in my life.

15

:

I've been in like places

that are colder on paper.

16

:

LAura: Uhhuh.

17

:

Xhafer: You know, I've spent a

lot of time in the Twin Cities.

18

:

I spent a lot of time in Wisconsin.

19

:

Places that are degree,

temperature wise, colder.

20

:

And when we talk about what

temperature feels like, we're

21

:

usually talking about windchill, but

humidity factors in a great deal.

22

:

And

23

:

LAura: does.

24

:

Xhafer: that dry cold is a whole

lot easier to live with than a

25

:

LAura: Then wet cold.

26

:

Xhafer: Wet cold is bad and it

is a wet cold here right now.

27

:

LAura: Ugh.

28

:

Xhafer: Beth and I went out to

dinner before we did a little last,

29

:

like the last little vestiges of

Christmas shopping we have to do.

30

:

LAura: Oh, good for you.

31

:

Xhafer: And uh, like we

walked out of the diner.

32

:

I'm just like, fuck, it's frigid.

33

:

Like I didn't know.

34

:

Like it's literally all that could

leave my mouth at that moment.

35

:

It was so bitter cold when we walked out.

36

:

It

37

:

LAura: think the, I think the dryness

here got me this week and it, I, I

38

:

had to address my sinuses in case it's

coming through the radio 'cause I feel

39

:

like I don't sound right, you know.

40

:

Xhafer: I mean, as someone

who's listens to your voice

41

:

for an hour a week on average,

42

:

LAura: Uhhuh.

43

:

Xhafer: I would say slightly

more graphly than normal, but

44

:

not like distractingly, so,

45

:

LAura: yeah.

46

:

Well some of our listeners are very eagle

eared and they would detect it right away.

47

:

So let's just like get,

get that out of the way.

48

:

Friends.

49

:

I think it's the dryness.

50

:

We've set up the humidifier.

51

:

I tried the Neti pot.

52

:

Hopefully it gets better tomorrow

'cause it's been a couple of days of

53

:

this and I'm just like tired of them.

54

:

I would just like to not

have sinuses anymore.

55

:

Please.

56

:

Thank you.

57

:

Xhafer: I'm hoping that this

week I'm about to spend in

58

:

Florida helps with that a

59

:

LAura: Oh yeah, that should keep you nice.

60

:

Keep all the passages nice and

61

:

Xhafer: I'm, I mean, it's, you know,

I'm, I'll be at my uncle's, my uncle

62

:

moved down there for this exact reason is

63

:

LAura: keeping the passages moist.

64

:

Xhafer: constantly being fucky

in Michigan and him being sick

65

:

of it, and him moving down there

where his passages are not fucky.

66

:

And I just like, I, I, I

probably have the same problem.

67

:

Exactly.

68

:

You know, like it's something

that he complains about.

69

:

It's something my dad complained about.

70

:

LAura: Yeah,

71

:

Xhafer: It's probably the exact same shit.

72

:

LAura: I definitely have dad sinuses.

73

:

Yeah.

74

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

75

:

And it's just like, fuck

76

:

LAura: I don't wanna go to Florida.

77

:

They're weird.

78

:

Xhafer: Okay.

79

:

I,

80

:

LAura: No offense.

81

:

I would go to hang out with Jeremy Siegel.

82

:

That's why I would go to

83

:

Xhafer: a hundred percent.

84

:

And I'm not gonna be anywhere near him.

85

:

I checked.

86

:

Uh, Otherwise I, Jeremy, if you're

listening, I did check and I

87

:

was gonna reach out to you if I

was gonna be anywhere near you.

88

:

But I'm gonna be down in

Fort Myers and it's a drive.

89

:

I don't want to go, I mean, I will have

a fun time being with my sister and

90

:

my mom and my uncle over Christmas.

91

:

LAura: Yeah.

92

:

Xhafer: I do not want to do this.

93

:

I do not wanna drive to Florida.

94

:

It's a 20 hour drive.

95

:

LAura: That's a bit of

a schlep, as they say.

96

:

Yeah.

97

:

Xhafer: that's a bit much.

98

:

but it is what it is.

99

:

You know, it's for mom, it's ma

it's making sure she can winter

100

:

down there and have her car.

101

:

That's what we're doing.

102

:

LAura: Yeah.

103

:

I hope our listeners got to do

something nice with people that

104

:

they love over this changing of the

seasons here, changing of the years.

105

:

Xhafer: It's, it's New Year's

Eve if you're listening

106

:

on the day this comes out.

107

:

Uh, happy New Year.

108

:

LAura: Happy New Year.

109

:

Xhafer: I mean we're, I'm

talking about things that were

110

:

two and a half weeks ago now.

111

:

Um,

112

:

LAura: Please, please, say a

little non-denominational prayer

113

:

that Laura's sinuses are better

by now when you're hearing this.

114

:

Xhafer: fuck.

115

:

Bless up.

116

:

Let's hope so.

117

:

LAura: Yeah.

118

:

Xhafer: That'd be rough.

119

:

LAura: you know what else is rough?

120

:

Xhafer: Well, I was gonna

say Florida gets a bad rap.

121

:

It's not that Florida is crazier

than the rest of the country.

122

:

And I literally dropped this exact same

anecdote on a recording of last time

123

:

on that airs two weeks before this,

but we just did for me 15 minutes ago.

124

:

LAura: Uhhuh.

125

:

Xhafer: Uh, Which is, it's

not that Florida is crazy.

126

:

People down there are crazy.

127

:

I mean, there's some of that for sure.

128

:

But it's that Florida's freedom of

information laws make it that all

129

:

matters of police records are public.

130

:

And so it's significantly easier for

people to find out about how crazy shit

131

:

that happens in Florida, which is why

it gets targeted by the news so much

132

:

LAura: yeah.

133

:

Florida man does X

134

:

Xhafer: yeah, it's just easy click bait

because they don't have to do as much

135

:

research or go through legal proceedings

or make requests for information.

136

:

It's all just public record.

137

:

And so it's very easy to find out

crazy shit that happens in Florida

138

:

and make stories out of it rather than

more crazy shit happens in Florida,

139

:

LAura: That's fun.

140

:

Yeah.

141

:

but,

142

:

Xhafer: shit does happen in Florida.

143

:

LAura: I do know people who have

moved to Florida to be crazy,

144

:

so also there's that.

145

:

Xhafer: Yeah, I mean, look, I'm

not saying Florida's not crazy.

146

:

I'm saying that some of

the rap is unwarranted.

147

:

LAura: Yeah.

148

:

Xhafer: Some of it.

149

:

I mean, it all still happened in Florida.

150

:

It's all, you know, it's not

like they're making stuff up.

151

:

I mean, unless they are,

in which case, fuck 'em.

152

:

But you know, all of those things you

hear about happening in Florida from

153

:

the news that are irreparable sources

that actually are citing something

154

:

that still fucking happened in Florida.

155

:

LAura: Yeah.

156

:

Xhafer: Sorry, I ruined your segue.

157

:

So this episode,

158

:

LAura: No, I was, I was trying to

give, come up with a new one and I was

159

:

Xhafer: I mean, Florida

Planet of the Algae.

160

:

LAura: yeah, I was, I was thinking

about Florida swamps and I was like,

161

:

those are probably full of algae.

162

:

Algae.

163

:

That's how I've decided, I'm gonna

weird up the word for this episode.

164

:

I saw someone talking about our

pronunciations of things and

165

:

Xhafer: The magic blurred ne.

166

:

LAura: the magic blurred algae.

167

:

Xhafer: Earner,

168

:

LAura: You know, I'm actually

pretty disappointed with the

169

:

algae on this algae planet.

170

:

I did not get to see any algae.

171

:

Xhafer: No

172

:

algae whatsoever.

173

:

It's all mountains.

174

:

What the fuck?

175

:

It's all just California again.

176

:

Can't fool me or Vancouver.

177

:

But yeah,

178

:

LAura: I don't associate

mountains with algae.

179

:

I mean, I suppose it could happen,

but it feels like that's a very

180

:

flat thing, like algae grows where

there's lots of water and flat.

181

:

Xhafer: right?

182

:

Yeah.

183

:

LAura: Yeah.

184

:

Xhafer: Well, water is naturally flat, so

no, there's no such thing as a water hill.

185

:

I mean an iceberg.

186

:

I don't know.

187

:

Not the

188

:

same,

189

:

LAura: Hmm, Yeah.

190

:

Xhafer: not what we're here to talk about.

191

:

What we are here to talk

about is Battlestar Galactica,

192

:

season three, episode 11.

193

:

The eye of Jupiter.

194

:

we get some LTOs that are mostly to remind

us about hair's plot up until this point.

195

:

LAura: Oh, and that specs

and Lee were a thing.

196

:

Uh, And we are here for algae.

197

:

We, we need to tell you that right

198

:

Xhafer: new?

199

:

Sps.

200

:

LAura: Oh.

201

:

I write her, we call her star Bs, but

in my notes I write specs because that's

202

:

the ticker symbol of Starbucks, SBUX.

203

:

Xhafer: SPS now.

204

:

Okay, cool.

205

:

LAura: Uh, star bees is good too.

206

:

Xhafer: Star be's.

207

:

LAura: Yeah, no, I've always

just gone with the ticker symbol.

208

:

'cause it is pretty, pretty

good, like as ticker symbols go.

209

:

Nice job.

210

:

Mm-hmm.

211

:

Xhafer: We're on the planet of the algae.

212

:

It's been two weeks.

213

:

When Tiros tinnitus goes off, you

hear something in the distance.

214

:

He dismisses it and talks to Anders and

this algae is just barely a food stuff.

215

:

They're complaining about it, but it is

plentiful, even though we see none of it.

216

:

LAura: Okay.

217

:

And also the color grating on this planet.

218

:

You know, we had very, like, we had

different times of day on Caprica.

219

:

We had Caprica yellow, Caprica orange.

220

:

This planet is very like white

221

:

Xhafer: Yes.

222

:

LAura: and I just don't

223

:

Xhafer: Like algae.

224

:

LAura: Yeah.

225

:

It's just not an algae color for me.

226

:

Like it's gotta be somewhere

in the greens and the blues.

227

:

Xhafer: Yeah,

228

:

LAura: I suppose there could be

a white algae and if you, Hey, if

229

:

you know about the white algae,

pop it, the discord for me.

230

:

But yeah, this mountains plus white

plus everything else, not algae

231

:

Xhafer: White chlorophyll is a thing,

so I'm assuming white algae is a thing.

232

:

I can't even say algae anymore.

233

:

LAura: It's just alga.

234

:

Xhafer: It's just algae Now.

235

:

Galen wants to find

the planet a hot fudge.

236

:

Hell yeah,

237

:

LAura: Yeah, me too.

238

:

That would be great.

239

:

Xhafer: I mean, we are recording obviously

pre-Christmas, as we just discussed.

240

:

Hot chocolate, very Christmas time.

241

:

Treat for me,

242

:

LAura: Yeah.

243

:

Xhafer: so I'm just thinking

about that right now.

244

:

LAura: I need to get invited

to more parties that have

245

:

like the chocolate fountain.

246

:

Xhafer: Beth's

247

:

family, chocolate fountain tradition.

248

:

LAura: Yeah.

249

:

Xhafer: They well ch well, chocolate

fondue tradition, not chocolate fountain.

250

:

It's in a big

251

:

LAura: I, I would settle for fondue.

252

:

Yeah.

253

:

Xhafer: Yeah, it's a good time.

254

:

But uh, chocolate fondue is

definitely in there and I, that's,

255

:

to me, chocolate fondue is the

lakes of, in the planet of hot fudge

256

:

LAura: Mm.

257

:

Xhafer: and I want to go there.

258

:

Dark chocolate mountains.

259

:

Just take a bite.

260

:

LAura: that'd be fine.

261

:

I will be fine with those mountains.

262

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

263

:

LAura: Yeah.

264

:

They can even have a little

white chocolate at the top

265

:

and I'm fine with it.

266

:

Xhafer: I don't know about that.

267

:

I don't wanna, it's, it sounds

like it's wet cold up there.

268

:

I'm not interested.

269

:

I guess if it gets cold on

the planet of hot fudge.

270

:

LAura: Hey, you know

what else is wet, cold?

271

:

This conversation leader Lee

has about their, about how much

272

:

Kara is coming to visit the

273

:

Xhafer: right.

274

:

Dean knows she gives him the not

even appropriate amount of shit.

275

:

He deserves more shit for his.

276

:

LAura: Oh, he deserves some more shit.

277

:

Xhafer: Super shitty behavior here.

278

:

She is just aware the entire time.

279

:

He's like, oh, well

I'm going to go say hi.

280

:

Oh, okay, Lee, why, why does it

take you 30 minutes to say hi?

281

:

Every time Kara shows up?

282

:

LAura: Yeah.

283

:

The, I've seen the checklist.

284

:

It's one page, like you guys

should, it doesn't take 30

285

:

minutes to go over one page.

286

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

287

:

LAura: And we find out they're

really going for it still.

288

:

Like

289

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

290

:

LAura: they barely say hello

to each other and they're just

291

:

making out in this raptor,

292

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

293

:

I, my notes say that they start

at each other immediately, and

294

:

I do mean sexually to be clear.

295

:

Listener.

296

:

Uh, Yeah.

297

:

God damnit I, this, I'm so upset by this.

298

:

LAura: yeah, me too.

299

:

Xhafer: Because of every consequence

of these actions that they're taking.

300

:

Dee doesn't deserve this,

301

:

LAura: No, Anders doesn't

deserve this either.

302

:

I don't know.

303

:

It's just,

304

:

Xhafer: Anders.

305

:

Well, I mean, was it this episode

or next episode where Anders is

306

:

all like, dude, of course I know.

307

:

Like

308

:

LAura: it's this episode.

309

:

Yes.

310

:

He, he actually, I, I

pointed it out to Erin.

311

:

I was like, he said,

you are not the first,

312

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

313

:

LAura: so she's been cheating

on him with other people,

314

:

presumably, like on new Caprica

315

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

316

:

LAura: and,

317

:

Xhafer: Well, yeah.

318

:

I mean, Anders, Anders at the very

least is like aware of who he married.

319

:

LAura: yeah.

320

:

Xhafer: Dee was all like, yeah, we can

get married until you run back to Kara.

321

:

Sure.

322

:

'cause we're gonna die before

that happens, so I'm not gonna

323

:

have to deal with that pain.

324

:

That's Dee's explicitly stated

outlook to Lee, which he rebuked.

325

:

And is now doing exactly that thing.

326

:

LAura: Yes.

327

:

Xhafer: Fuck you, Lee.

328

:

LAura: Not a hundred percent sure.

329

:

Even though Dee was expressing like,

I'm fully aware of everything that

330

:

she really was though, because she

also says the stuff about like, I

331

:

love you 'cause you're like your dad.

332

:

And like maybe there was like a

secret hope from Dee that Lee's

333

:

gonna step up and be more like Daddy

Adama who probably wouldn't do this.

334

:

Like, I mean, we don't know, but

it, the, the Adama were shown

335

:

probably wouldn't behave this way.

336

:

He and mommy Rosalyn are pretty tight.

337

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

338

:

LAura: Yeah.

339

:

But also, while all of this is going

on in the Raptor, we cut back and

340

:

the hills are calling to Teel again.

341

:

Xhafer: Yeah, the hills are calling

and he starts to wander out.

342

:

Starbuck gets really religious

when Lee brings up divorce.

343

:

LAura: Yes, this, this, this

is where I got like super mad.

344

:

I was like, oh, not pleased

with the affair stuff.

345

:

But then Lee's like, I, I can't

do this to, he, I've gotta let

346

:

her go and we can be together.

347

:

And Starbucks is like, I would

never divorce my husband.

348

:

I'm just gonna run around

and do all this stuff.

349

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

350

:

I

351

:

swore in oath before the gods

that I'd stay married to one man.

352

:

I didn't say anything about banging.

353

:

No one else, just like the cognitive

dissonance is strong with this one.

354

:

LAura: it's, and it's the letter of

the law, not the spirit of the law.

355

:

Pretty sure.

356

:

Xhafer: yeah, it's, it's rough,

357

:

LAura: Oh, Starbucks.

358

:

Xhafer: I guess.

359

:

they really did leave all

the Mormon stuff out of this.

360

:

Revote.

361

:

Hey, low hanging fruit.

362

:

All right.

363

:

Got one in.

364

:

LAura: Yeah, these people are nuts.

365

:

and, she's Like, I, I can't do a

divorce that's against my religion.

366

:

Xhafer: Yeah,

367

:

LAura: And he's like, well, I can't

do this to d And she's like, so

368

:

we're just gonna stop making out.

369

:

I'm like,

370

:

Xhafer: I fucking hope so.

371

:

LAura: that's the only

place this can lead.

372

:

Right?

373

:

Like, if you're both stuck in

these things, I don't know.

374

:

I am a little worried about next time.

375

:

Next time on,

376

:

Xhafer: over on the Bay

Star Baltar has dreams,

377

:

As he hears hair crying.

378

:

LAura: huh.

379

:

Xhafer: 'cause the silence don't make ies.

380

:

Sharon tells us that

her isn't feeling well.

381

:

This is a Sharon.

382

:

We find out this is Boomer later

383

:

LAura: Uh,

384

:

yeah.

385

:

Okay.

386

:

Xhafer: that her isn't feeling well.

387

:

As we see more of Tyro wandering

off and finding a really cool

388

:

rock and he goes to check it out.

389

:

We get this really moody sequence where

bear fills the silence of him wandering

390

:

with these like wind chimes and drums.

391

:

Fuck yeah.

392

:

I love this stuff.

393

:

LAura: Very good stuff.

394

:

Xhafer: Anytime you can just give

three minutes to bear McCreary.

395

:

It's three minutes.

396

:

I wanna watch this show.

397

:

LAura: Yeah.

398

:

I cannot wait until I am done

with season three, so I can add

399

:

that into my study music rotation,

the season three soundtrack.

400

:

Xhafer: Oh Yeah,

401

:

LAura: Yeah, but I'm trying not to, not

trying not to add it in case there's

402

:

any titles that might be a problem.

403

:

Xhafer: you shouldn't, you definitely

should not look at the soundtrack title

404

:

because I, I know, I, I think I can

think of two off the top of my head

405

:

That are like fucking problems.

406

:

LAura: noted.

407

:

Won't do it.

408

:

Xhafer: I'm about to

double check this shit.

409

:

'cause I think that's season three.

410

:

LAura: Oh, you're just gonna make me wanna

know more and I can't, 'cause I'm a very.

411

:

Lawful good.

412

:

And I will not expose myself to spoilers.

413

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

414

:

I'm gonna say, yeah.

415

:

There's one title in here

that you still need to avoid.

416

:

LAura: Okay.

417

:

I will

418

:

Xhafer: Um, and then there will

be a thing that will start making

419

:

sense about some other stuff later.

420

:

LAura: Cool.

421

:

Xhafer: Yep.

422

:

You'll know.

423

:

You'll know the second you hear it.

424

:

Don't worry about that.

425

:

LAura: I sure hope some of this stuff that

Tyrell's wandering into makes sense later.

426

:

Xhafer: Uh, We'll see.

427

:

But before we get to that, we've

got a survivor count 41,402 down 18,

428

:

which is cat Sacrifice, the skeleton

crews of the Adriatic and the Corina.

429

:

LAura: Okay.

430

:

that's not too bad.

431

:

Xhafer: It could have been a lot worse

432

:

LAura: Could have been a lot worse.

433

:

Xhafer: for losing two ships.

434

:

Well, yeah.

435

:

Carbon dating after we get back

from theme tells them the temple

436

:

is 4,000 years old, which aligns

with the exodus of the 13th tribe.

437

:

Uh, carbon dating

hypothetically possible here.

438

:

Scientifically you need to know,

like about the carbon record over

439

:

time to know, to be able to properly

carbon date stuff because it's about

440

:

the amount of carbon in things.

441

:

Right.

442

:

And so like if a volcano erupted for

a thousand years ago or:

443

:

ago, that might fuck up the carbon

for when you're trying to date things

444

:

later, you know, stuff like that.

445

:

Things that are, events like

that, that could do that.

446

:

Um, so hypothetically they could

reverse engineer it through a handful

447

:

of samples from around different

parts of the planet, which they might

448

:

be able to do remotely when they're

scanning the planet before they show up.

449

:

We don't know what their technology

is like but this is probably bullshit,

450

:

LAura: Yeah.

451

:

Xhafer: at the very least for our level

of how we currently carbon date things.

452

:

This would be a big stretch,

but, you know, they can also move

453

:

instantaneously through space without,

you know, moving through space.

454

:

So fuck it.

455

:

As we talked about in the discord.

456

:

This morning, yesterday, maybe about

about the jump jump technology and

457

:

how it may or may not actually work.

458

:

Yeah, it's like who fucking knows?

459

:

LAura: Yeah, we gotta move some plot

really quickly, so let's carbon date.

460

:

Sure.

461

:

Xhafer: Fuck it.

462

:

Terl is talking to mommy and daddy, who

are very proud of him for his discovery.

463

:

Rosalyn asked about the eye of Jupiter,

a marker left on the path to earth.

464

:

And this is when four base ships jump in.

465

:

The city fleet jumps away, and

then the cylons hail the fleet

466

:

for the first fucking time,

467

:

LAura: Yeah.

468

:

Xhafer: and it's just gais fucking baltar.

469

:

The

470

:

disappointment.

471

:

LAura: Yep.

472

:

And disappointment on my screen.

473

:

I don't think this is a spoiler or

anything, but when the subtitles came

474

:

on, it said s for when Gais was talking.

475

:

Xhafer: Ooh,

476

:

LAura: I was like, no, he

can't actually be a silo.

477

:

I think that's just like them

trying to say it's the silo ship.

478

:

Xhafer: yeah.

479

:

LAura: You better not be

spoiling anything there.

480

:

Uh, Subtitles.

481

:

because I still am on train.

482

:

Gais not a silent.

483

:

Be very mad if he is.

484

:

There's the face.

485

:

The face has hands.

486

:

This time

487

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

488

:

Well, it's because I had to give Ben

the face when we were recording LTO

489

:

half an hour ago now.

490

:

So it, it's, it's a practiced face at

491

:

LAura: Yeah.

492

:

It looked good.

493

:

Yeah.

494

:

Well rehearsed.

495

:

Xhafer: Thank you.

496

:

the face Papa Dama makes, when

it's Baltar's voice give Eddie

497

:

Olmos all the fucking awards.

498

:

LAura: He, his face looks like how I feel.

499

:

Xhafer: yeah.

500

:

Rosalyn and Adama are willing to

put up with this for extra time

501

:

to evac everyone on the planet and

to look for the eye at Jupiter.

502

:

So

503

:

LAura: Yeah.

504

:

Let's stall a bit.

505

:

Mm-hmm.

506

:

Xhafer: as Ty escorts.

507

:

Deanna Boomer, a Caval and Baltar,

508

:

LAura: Yeah.

509

:

Xhafer: six PT is around

because CAPA's not here.

510

:

Uh, Talking to Baltar about

how much he misses this ship.

511

:

She's like, well, if you're a

cylon like you think you are,

512

:

then that's just fake programming.

513

:

And that's like real fucking diminutive

for someone whose mission was to

514

:

love that guy and loves that guy.

515

:

Right?

516

:

Like I don't think of all of

the characters in the show of

517

:

all of the CY characters to

dismiss emotion as programming.

518

:

Caprica six is the most

hypocritical to do so.

519

:

LAura: Yeah.

520

:

Six PT also reminds him like,

I know you're feeling nostalgic

521

:

right now and that you think you're

home, but these people will murder

522

:

you if they're given the chance.

523

:

If you stay on this

ship, you are a dead man.

524

:

Xhafer: Oh, for sure.

525

:

Athena calls out that, hey,

that's Boomer and she isn't

526

:

allowed to the conference anymore.

527

:

LAura: This was totally done on purpose.

528

:

Yeah.

529

:

This becomes clear it pretty much

immediately I was like, uhoh.

530

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

531

:

LAura: Mm-hmm.

532

:

We wanted her to have to stay behind.

533

:

That's definitely a plan.

534

:

Xhafer: Ballar gets a little

emotional, but Bill won't have

535

:

it as they're all meeting.

536

:

Ka and Gianna are like, you

keep SOJ, that's a, that's a

537

:

Diablo two reference that I'm

538

:

LAura: Oh,

539

:

Xhafer: one listener might have.

540

:

Understood.

541

:

LAura: I'm just mad that guys has the

audacity to call Rosalyn by her first

542

:

name, and he's like, Misty, like,

I missed you, Laura, or something.

543

:

And I was like, fuck off.

544

:

I hate you.

545

:

Xhafer: Does he know

she's president right now?

546

:

LAura: I,

547

:

Xhafer: He

548

:

LAura: he he is pretty good at like

context clues, I think like, yeah.

549

:

Xhafer: You know, could have made a

jab about taking his desk or something.

550

:

Being unelected president again?

551

:

Again.

552

:

Again.

553

:

. Uh, Kevin and Deanna don't think that

they have the eye of Jupiter yet.

554

:

And they say that openly Baltar starts to

talk and roly just like fucking leaves.

555

:

LAura: Yeah.

556

:

She's like, you can handle this one, bill.

557

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

558

:

LAura: need to be here.

559

:

Xhafer: And the silences are like,

okay, well just give us the IA

560

:

Jupiter and we'll let you all live.

561

:

Also, fuck it.

562

:

We'll give you a ballar.

563

:

LAura: Yeah.

564

:

You can have this guy

and do whatever you want.

565

:

Xhafer: Yep.

566

:

We don't care.

567

:

Fucking get rid of him.

568

:

He's a problem for us.

569

:

Anyways

570

:

LAura: Tempting.

571

:

Xhafer: this is when Boomer tells

Athena that Hera is alive and sick.

572

:

LAura: Yeah.

573

:

So much for magic blurred.

574

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

575

:

LAura: They also know that it

was Roslyn, they uncovered enough

576

:

evidence on new Caprica that

Rosalyn is the one who did this.

577

:

So, not great.

578

:

Not gonna be probably a

579

:

problem.

580

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

581

:

tells Deanna that if the silos

try to land on the planet, he's

582

:

going to nuke the surface just to

prevent them from getting the eye.

583

:

Lee is getting instructions from dad when

the silences block all communication,

584

:

LAura: Mm-hmm.

585

:

Xhafer: Leaving a dozen Marine and

five military to defend the temple.

586

:

LAura: Yeah.

587

:

And then some civilian like

groups that were there.

588

:

Yeah.

589

:

The, the tear rolls.

590

:

The Callies?

591

:

Yeah.

592

:

Xhafer: Kara suggests leveraging

Sam to lead the cities in a militia

593

:

LAura: Mm-hmm.

594

:

Xhafer: And this is where he's all

like, look, I've done gorilla stuff.

595

:

I've never defended a position before.

596

:

LAura: Yeah, we

specifically didn't do that.

597

:

Xhafer: we actually saw

him do that at one point.

598

:

On New Capra or on, not on

new Caprica, on Caprica.

599

:

When they were all holed up and they were

surrounded and stuff, they like defended

600

:

that one thing where Caval was there,

but they, we didn't see him till the end.

601

:

They defended that position for a bit.

602

:

Uh,

603

:

But yeah uh, whatever.

604

:

You know, I, it's a fair

point Sam is making here.

605

:

He is not the person to lead

the defense of a position.

606

:

LAura: Yeah.

607

:

Regardless of all the other weird

shit among these three people.

608

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

609

:

Lee's like, it's cool.

610

:

Just shoot sirens while we do

all of the important stuff.

611

:

LAura: Starbuck at one point tries

to diffuse the tension between these

612

:

two men, and it goes very poorly.

613

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

614

:

Tyrell and Callie talk

about his childhood.

615

:

Uh, He talks about defiling, his

mother's prayer room, like dancing

616

:

around it naked with porno mags.

617

:

LAura: Yeah.

618

:

Callie, I don't know.

619

:

I just don't like her.

620

:

I guess she's so reverent.

621

:

Or she, she tells him he's so

reverent in here and she's,

622

:

she's like, I miss our son.

623

:

Do you think he's okay?

624

:

I'm just like, oh, honey.

625

:

Like, I don't know.

626

:

I guess they're in a bad spot, but I'm

like, man, I can't, it's hard for me to

627

:

suspend my disbelief and be like, yeah,

she's so indispensable that she has to

628

:

be on this planet and not with her child.

629

:

Like, I don't know, like when, if I'd

watched it at the age that you watched it.

630

:

Probably wouldn't have like

been a thing for me at all.

631

:

Like it would've glossed right over it.

632

:

But like being a mother now,

I'm like, I don't, I don't,

633

:

think this is how this would actually go.

634

:

Xhafer: Yeah, I don't, it

doesn't feel right to me.

635

:

LAura: Yeah.

636

:

And I don't like her.

637

:

I just don't.

638

:

Um, and you know, he's having his weird

guilt about setting bombs in a holy place,

639

:

even though he danced around his mother's

prayer room with naked with porno mags.

640

:

I don't know.

641

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

642

:

Yep.

643

:

He's multifaceted.

644

:

LAura: Yeah.

645

:

The

646

:

Xhafer: Uh,

647

:

LAura: of tiro.

648

:

Xhafer: gada finds out the stars

on the verge of going supernova.

649

:

LAura: Oh yeah.

650

:

We're gonna go supernova.

651

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

652

:

Magic Bird Ne supernova.

653

:

Oh,

654

:

LAura: You forgot.

655

:

Xhafer: NOIE.

656

:

I hope they got enough

algae before it goes nerve.

657

:

LAura: So this is, this supernova is set

up right now in this, I can only assume

658

:

that this is Chekhov's Supernova and it

is gonna go off in the second part of

659

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

660

:

You don't introduce a supernova in

the first act if you're not going

661

:

to use it in the third For sure.

662

:

The Silent Model UN benefits

from having the budget to bring

663

:

Dean Stockwell on this episode.

664

:

You know, he won two

Golden Globes in his life.

665

:

LAura: Oh no I didn't.

666

:

Xhafer: He won one in

:

667

:

LAura: Wow.

668

:

Okay.

669

:

Did not know that show won awards.

670

:

Xhafer: and he won the other in

:

671

:

where he won best juvenile actor.

672

:

He won a Golden Globe at nine and at 52.

673

:

LAura: That is really impressive actually.

674

:

Wow.

675

:

1947 and then in 1990.

676

:

Xhafer: Yeah,

677

:

LAura: Wow.

678

:

Xhafer: right.

679

:

LAura: I'm just like in awe.

680

:

Xhafer: Yeah, I mean, I was just like,

oh, Dean Stockwell, you know, was he

681

:

doing anything else around this time?

682

:

And I Google him and I'm just like

reading about him just like, oh shit.

683

:

That's crazy.

684

:

LAura: He's not still with us.

685

:

Right.

686

:

Xhafer: no, he passed, oh God.

687

:

2016, right?

688

:

Oh, 2021.

689

:

LAura: Wow.

690

:

This show is having a better track

record than, um, Babylon five, for sure.

691

:

Xhafer: Well, it is, you

know, like a decade later and

692

:

also a notably younger cast.

693

:

LAura: Yeah.

694

:

I mean, some of the people that

we've lost from Babylon five,

695

:

it's like, wow, they died early.

696

:

Not like Andreas, Andreas was

697

:

Xhafer: well,

698

:

LAura: older in

699

:

Xhafer: then, like they were in

their thirties making that show

700

:

LAura: Yeah.

701

:

Yeah,

702

:

Xhafer: and people are ma in

their twenties doing this one,

703

:

LAura: yeah.

704

:

That's true.

705

:

Xhafer: and it's 10 years later.

706

:

This is a 20 year difference.

707

:

So

708

:

LAura: Yeah.

709

:

Xhafer: Deanna reveals uh, that

she snuck a heavy raider down on

710

:

the surface when they jumped in.

711

:

LAura: Uhhuh did not discuss that

712

:

Xhafer: Yep.

713

:

LAura: the model.

714

:

You in

715

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

716

:

LAura: little sticky point here.

717

:

Caprica seems pretty perturbed about it

718

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

719

:

One of many things they'll

be upset about with Deanna.

720

:

LAura: at this point.

721

:

I had Aaron p while I was making notes

and I complained at him where I was

722

:

like, I'm still not clear on why they

should even fucking care about Earth.

723

:

And he's like, it'll, it'll get resolved.

724

:

But I was like, it's got to

because I don't understand

725

:

like, is it just that these are

726

:

where

727

:

Xhafer: where the

728

:

thir

729

:

LAura: are and we need to.

730

:

Xhafer: tribe went.

731

:

LAura: We need to wipe

out the last humans too.

732

:

So we need these humans to

lead us to there so we can get

733

:

rid of those humans as well.

734

:

I don't know, they're just,

735

:

it's sort of, it's sort of

opaque at this point and I don't

736

:

Xhafer: you might not know their plan.

737

:

They might not, all of them

might not know their plan,

738

:

LAura: yeah.

739

:

Clearly they don't know the who

the other Final five silence are.

740

:

Xhafer: Yeah, man.

741

:

What a plot point that could be.

742

:

LAura: I, I have a feeling this

is a very like timely bitching.

743

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

744

:

You haven't watched the

next one yet, right?

745

:

LAura: no, I have not

watched the next one yet.

746

:

I told Aaron, I was like, I

need some resolution on some

747

:

of this stuff 'cause I am

748

:

Xhafer: don't worry.

749

:

You get some of it.

750

:

Next episode, you get read.

751

:

In fact, I will say right now there is a

storyline that you have complained about.

752

:

Numerous times in season

three that gets resolved.

753

:

Next episode,

754

:

LAura: Satisfying.

755

:

Good.

756

:

I will watch it tonight then.

757

:

'cause I'm fucking tired.

758

:

Xhafer: I think, I think two, I think

it's fair to say two major plot lines.

759

:

Either take their next

big step or are resolved

760

:

in the next episode.

761

:

LAura: Okay.

762

:

Little tired of just endless

763

:

piano

764

:

looping.

765

:

Xhafer: I'll say they take their next big

step because Resolved has implications

766

:

that I don't feel like are necessarily

true, or even if they are true, I should

767

:

be making as in a spoiler free sense.

768

:

LAura: But it is Deanna's Raider

on the surface that was able

769

:

to cut off their communication

770

:

uh, that's, that's kind of

what she implies, right.

771

:

And that she's got centurions down there

that are just gonna go get the eye, even

772

:

though nobody knows exactly what it is.

773

:

And then we'll just be able to

destroy the Galactica and we can

774

:

go on, do the

775

:

Xhafer: I'll sneak in there.

776

:

Anders has given out assignments

to civilians to distribute ammo,

777

:

cashs, and build tillium mines.

778

:

Lee compliments Anders saying he'd make

a good officer, and Sam's like, fuck you.

779

:

You are gonna tell me.

780

:

I know how to keep an oath motherfucker.

781

:

LAura: Yeah.

782

:

And this is when he tells

Lee, you're not the first.

783

:

I know who Kara is and I know that

she's doing stuff and I still am

784

:

married to her and love her, so

785

:

fuck off.

786

:

Yikes.

787

:

Uh, Lee tries to put his soldier

hat back on real fast and say,

788

:

we've got to focus on this war.

789

:

Xhafer: Yep.

790

:

over on the Bay Star, Deanna says

she's close to knowing the final

791

:

five as the hybrid and hanging

out with Baltar in the hybrid.

792

:

And the hybrid just stares at Baltar

while chanting The chosen one.

793

:

The chosen one.

794

:

The chosen one,

795

:

LAura: she doesn't even, she says that

she's close to seeing the final five.

796

:

And maybe even God, like she's going off

the deep, she's going into bin territory.

797

:

Like, There can be only one crazy Deanna.

798

:

You can, you will not be

able to thrown Leo open here.

799

:

Like,

800

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

801

:

LAura: only the chosen one can

go, but Deanna is not really

802

:

listening to the one part.

803

:

And here's what I am afraid of.

804

:

Here's, here's a prediction.

805

:

I don't know if this will be true,

but I told Erin last night, I was

806

:

like, it'll be really fun if, like,

they go and they go to enter this

807

:

temple and it's very literal, like.

808

:

And for somehow, I don't know how the

13th Tribe would've accomplished this

809

:

'cause there were no cys, but there's

like some sort of anti syon device or

810

:

trap that triggers, and so Gaas goes

through, but Deanna's like melted or

811

:

destroyed or blown up or whatever.

812

:

And it's like, that would

be pretty funny for me.

813

:

Also, it would kind of fuel some shit

with Gais, so that would be not great.

814

:

But

815

:

Xhafer: Uh, Speaking of not great,

Caprica walks in and Deanna tells her

816

:

that this throuple is now a couple.

817

:

LAura: Yeah, that's new.

818

:

And De Deanna's just dictating it.

819

:

Gaia is like, no, no, no.

820

:

We're we all have something special

here and Deanna's like, no, no, no.

821

:

It's over.

822

:

Xhafer: We have something special.

823

:

Bye.

824

:

LAura: Yeah.

825

:

And.

826

:

Guy is such a spineless bitch

827

:

for somebody who said he loved Caprica

and seemed like he meant it, he sure

828

:

just sort of floats along with Deanna.

829

:

Xhafer: sure.

830

:

Does wonder how this is gonna

come back to bite him in the ass?

831

:

Oh, you can.

832

:

You can be sure It does.

833

:

LAura: I really want Caprica to like,

I would like her to destroy him.

834

:

That would be fun.

835

:

I mean,

836

:

Xhafer: Just, you wait.

837

:

You're gonna love what happens at the

end of next episode with these two.

838

:

Well, I mean, really it's the start

of the, probably the one after,

839

:

but I think that the P, you'll see

where the chess pieces are on the

840

:

board at the end of next episode.

841

:

And you're gonna go, oh, that's

gonna be interesting, isn't it?

842

:

LAura: Yeah.

843

:

I.

844

:

Know that sixes are like a jealous model

is kind of what we've seen, I guess.

845

:

I don't know.

846

:

It's all really been like six PT and

Caprica really, that I'm basing that on.

847

:

'cause Gina, we didn't really

see like anything outta that.

848

:

But it seems like sixes are a jealous

model and uh, this isn't gonna go well

849

:

and he should know better, but I mean,

what does he do on this Bay Star when

850

:

Deanna is like calling all the shots?

851

:

I don't know.

852

:

Maybe I'm expecting a little too much

from the only human stuck in a ship

853

:

full of silences with their own agenda,

854

:

Xhafer: All these robots with their plans,

855

:

LAura: but it's so easy to hate him.

856

:

So that's

857

:

where I'm

858

:

Xhafer: is,

859

:

we,

860

:

LAura: It's not personal.

861

:

It's religious though.

862

:

Yeah, I.

863

:

Xhafer: Gianna and Baltar are

gonna go down to the surface here.

864

:

To go check out the temple.

865

:

We see Dee actually running the

military op Starbuck is flying recon

866

:

and gets missile by a centurion.

867

:

LAura: Pretty quick.

868

:

Yeah.

869

:

And they're using like visual cues.

870

:

Starbucks gets back to the area where

she can at least fire off her headlights

871

:

at D and then DC's the missile anyway.

872

:

But yeah, now they know that there

are silences in the ground and they

873

:

know about where they're coming from.

874

:

Xhafer: Yep.

875

:

Rosalyn is in Papa Don's office

and tries to talk about pithy, but

876

:

Bill's all like, Hey, so, Athena

came and talked to me about Hara.

877

:

Huh.

878

:

Crazy.

879

:

That would be crazy if that were true.

880

:

Right.

881

:

right.

882

:

Right.

883

:

LAura: I, I gotta say, I was a

little afraid that this was gonna

884

:

go in a different direction.

885

:

I'm actually kind of pleased

that Athena immediately went

886

:

to talk to Adama about this.

887

:

'cause I was afraid there was

gonna be more like duplicity,

888

:

and I didn't want that.

889

:

Um,

890

:

Xhafer: Well, I mean, he was

always kept out of it too.

891

:

So

892

:

LAura: yeah.

893

:

Yeah.

894

:

And I, and I'm pleased to see

him immediately approach Rosaly

895

:

and be like, truth, please.

896

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

897

:

And she does, she gives him

truth and he just walks out.

898

:

He walks

899

:

out immediately.

900

:

LAura: she gives him the truth, and then

she tries to like, explain her reasoning.

901

:

Like she gives him all the facts

of here's how it all went down.

902

:

And then she tries to

like, but here's why.

903

:

And he's not having it.

904

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

905

:

LAura: Just not having it.

906

:

Xhafer: He like turns around, walks

to Hilo and Athena's bunk room.

907

:

LAura: Yeah,

908

:

Xhafer: They've got their own,

they've got their own place.

909

:

LAura: Yeah.

910

:

Xhafer: They don't, they don't have

like a bunk with like six of them, like

911

:

the other pilots maybe that's like the

XO hit, like the, the second officers

912

:

quarters or something at this point.

913

:

Captain Kelly's, he's still

around though, so I don't know.

914

:

LAura: It'd be fun if they

just redecorated her cell.

915

:

Xhafer: Yeah, I mean, you know,

you need the space anyways.

916

:

Uh, he tells them who honestly handle

it as well as they fucking could.

917

:

Like they're not sup they're very

angry, understandably so, but they're

918

:

not actively taking it out on Adama.

919

:

There's like a little bit

of shade thrown his way, but

920

:

they're clearly not blaming him.

921

:

They're just super angry and fine.

922

:

That's, that's fair.

923

:

LAura: Yep, He does remind them that,

you know, I know you're hurting, but.

924

:

You will be able to see your child again.

925

:

Like you eventually, well, maybe

not that, but you will be glad

926

:

eventually that she's alive.

927

:

Like even beyond this hurt and

this betrayal and all that.

928

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

929

:

He, yeah.

930

:

Like, 'cause he was all like, you know

what it's like to lose a child of like

931

:

fucking everyone who could do this to us.

932

:

And he's all like, look, you're

gonna get to see yours again.

933

:

LAura: Yeah.

934

:

Like, yeah, mine has really gone

935

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

936

:

They super dead.

937

:

LAura: yeah.

938

:

Um, but Athena rightly needs to see

939

:

her

940

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

941

:

Lee tells Anders that Kara got shot down.

942

:

He wants to go rescue her

while this is going on.

943

:

The Cylons send six heavy Raiders down.

944

:

And in response, Adama

starts arming the nukes to

945

:

LAura: Yes.

946

:

Everybody's calling Bluffs around

here because we've got Adam dama

947

:

preparing the nukes, firey missiles

and Anders ready to disobey Lee.

948

:

Xhafer: Yeah, he's gonna go rescue Kara.

949

:

Um, Lee has Anders at

gunpoint to stop him.

950

:

Adama is authorizing the nuclear strikes,

like authorizing the release of nuclear

951

:

weapons and going through all this stuff.

952

:

There's a lot of fucking steps to

use nukes here that you would not

953

:

want to do in a, like, like it makes

for drama and good TV right now.

954

:

But can you imagine in a like active

combat situation, having to go through

955

:

all of the shit to use the nukes,

956

:

LAura: I wonder if

957

:

Xhafer: like the bass

stars are firing at you.

958

:

LAura: I, I wonder if you don't

have to do it in act of combat.

959

:

I wonder if it's part of like,

because we're about to fire on.

960

:

Our own people were taking

961

:

Xhafer: Well,

962

:

it's like it, I mean, some of it is like

saying things right and like procedural,

963

:

like, you know, matters of record.

964

:

But some of it is like,

Hey Ty, enter your code.

965

:

I'm entering mine.

966

:

Hey, grab the keys.

967

:

Hey, do this.

968

:

Hey, do these physical things that are

a pain in the ass if you're trying to do

969

:

it while you're about to get blown up.

970

:

LAura: Yeah.

971

:

Seems it's, yeah, it's tough.

972

:

'cause I'm like, you do want good

internal controls on your nukes,

973

:

Xhafer: Look, I just listened to

the five episodes of Behind the

974

:

Bastards about how close we are to

nuclear Armageddon at all moments.

975

:

So this level of redundancy in making

sure that it doesn't happen seems like a

976

:

good idea to me.

977

:

LAura: Yeah.

978

:

Xhafer: But also the situations

are admittedly very different.

979

:

LAura: Yeah, yeah.

980

:

I want lots of dual control on.

981

:

The nuclear armaments

all around the world.

982

:

Like, let's make it like, you know,

committees can never agree on anything.

983

:

Maybe it should just be a whole

committee that has to put in

984

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

985

:

LAura: coats.

986

:

Keep us, keep us from

annihilation, please.

987

:

That would be great.

988

:

Okay.

989

:

Thanks.

990

:

Bye.

991

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

992

:

all this is going down as we get

hit with the two be continued.

993

:

LAura: Oh, and te will, Tiara keeps

staring at the eye in and out, like,

994

:

or I, I say it's the eye.

995

:

I don't know if it's actually the eye,

but we keep staring at the same thing

996

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

997

:

LAura: a lot.

998

:

And it

999

:

sure looks, eye shaped.

:

00:44:18,853 --> 00:44:21,133

Xhafer: Did you recognize it, by the way?

:

00:44:22,209 --> 00:44:23,679

LAura: I don't guess I did.

:

00:44:24,159 --> 00:44:24,519

Xhafer: Okay.

:

00:44:24,999 --> 00:44:25,509

That's cool.

:

00:44:25,509 --> 00:44:26,559

They'll tell you next episode.

:

00:44:27,339 --> 00:44:31,269

LAura: I mean, it kind of looks like, I

would think a storm, like a big hurricane.

:

00:44:32,424 --> 00:44:32,784

Like

:

00:44:32,889 --> 00:44:37,299

Xhafer: no, no, no, no, This is, this is

something we have seen in the show before.

:

00:44:37,974 --> 00:44:38,634

LAura: Oh,

:

00:44:39,215 --> 00:44:41,975

Xhafer: They, they, they will

call it out explicitly next

:

00:44:42,230 --> 00:44:42,770

LAura: okay.

:

00:44:42,830 --> 00:44:44,030

I guess I'm gonna need that.

:

00:44:44,525 --> 00:44:44,915

Xhafer: Yeah.

:

00:44:45,095 --> 00:44:48,575

I mean, it's, it's the kind of

thing that on your first watch

:

00:44:48,575 --> 00:44:50,645

through, you would not notice.

:

00:44:50,915 --> 00:44:56,735

It's, it's designed to have been ambient

in the background previously so that

:

00:44:56,735 --> 00:45:00,245

you can fucking ignore it and then

they can bring it up later to be all

:

00:45:00,245 --> 00:45:01,850

like, Hey, look at how smart we are.

:

00:45:02,720 --> 00:45:06,505

LAura: is it the manhole covers

on Caprica from when we went

:

00:45:06,505 --> 00:45:08,300

down in the sewers all the time.

:

00:45:12,740 --> 00:45:13,400

That would be good.

:

00:45:14,105 --> 00:45:14,765

Xhafer: That would be good.

:

00:45:15,989 --> 00:45:17,719

So anyways that's the episode.

:

00:45:18,245 --> 00:45:18,725

Uh.

:

00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:19,880

Yeah.

:

00:45:20,100 --> 00:45:21,120

How do you feel about this one?

:

00:45:22,335 --> 00:45:23,295

LAura: Oh, I forgot.

:

00:45:23,295 --> 00:45:24,165

I have to rate it.

:

00:45:24,435 --> 00:45:26,625

I kind of just am like

living in the moment.

:

00:45:26,895 --> 00:45:30,015

It's kinda, you know,

I'm just kind of here.

:

00:45:30,345 --> 00:45:35,602

I guess I can't quite give it like,

it's not a 12 colonies for me.

:

00:45:36,202 --> 00:45:41,272

I am getting pretty annoyed that I don't

understand and they have not made clear

:

00:45:41,272 --> 00:45:43,552

to me why we should even care about Earth.

:

00:45:44,422 --> 00:45:44,992

Um,

:

00:45:45,427 --> 00:45:47,497

Xhafer: I mean, we know why

the humans care about Earth.

:

00:45:47,692 --> 00:45:48,427

LAura: oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

:

00:45:49,132 --> 00:45:56,249

But why, why, the Cys are so like,

eh and I'm tired of Deanna and Gais.

:

00:45:56,249 --> 00:45:56,909

That's gross.

:

00:45:57,359 --> 00:46:01,919

Don't like Gais Cullen Mommy,

Rosalyn by her first name.

:

00:46:02,249 --> 00:46:04,049

He does not have those privileges.

:

00:46:04,409 --> 00:46:04,859

Sorry.

:

00:46:05,523 --> 00:46:06,903

yeah, also he looks rough.

:

00:46:06,903 --> 00:46:07,803

I meant to say that.

:

00:46:08,103 --> 00:46:11,553

He's definitely like James

CA's doing a nice, like.

:

00:46:12,513 --> 00:46:15,243

Degradation of his character.

:

00:46:16,001 --> 00:46:18,804

But, oh, I'll give it like a 10.

:

00:46:19,074 --> 00:46:22,189

It gets to be in the upper

quadrant, but like not the best.

:

00:46:22,608 --> 00:46:23,088

What about you?

:

00:46:23,428 --> 00:46:23,818

Xhafer: Eight.

:

00:46:24,088 --> 00:46:25,198

Yeah, it's good.

:

00:46:25,678 --> 00:46:25,968

LAura: yeah,

:

00:46:27,721 --> 00:46:28,741

Xhafer: no, it is a good episode.

:

00:46:28,801 --> 00:46:31,861

Um, it, it really needs part two,

:

00:46:32,152 --> 00:46:32,442

LAura: Yeah.

:

00:46:32,672 --> 00:46:33,842

Xhafer: as most of these do.

:

00:46:33,962 --> 00:46:37,052

But you know, we're, we're

only a week away from that.

:

00:46:37,052 --> 00:46:38,822

I mean, you're about 20

minutes away from that.

:

00:46:39,252 --> 00:46:41,652

But listener, we're a week away from that.

:

00:46:42,213 --> 00:46:44,643

probably, actually in recording,

probably like two weeks away from

:

00:46:44,643 --> 00:46:46,053

that, to be perfectly honest.

:

00:46:46,423 --> 00:46:46,873

We'll see.

:

00:46:47,038 --> 00:46:47,908

LAura: Holidays.

:

00:46:47,913 --> 00:46:48,113

Yeah.

:

00:46:48,771 --> 00:46:50,436

Xhafer: Uh, But we will get there soon.

:

00:46:50,436 --> 00:46:51,786

It's season three, episode 12.

:

00:46:52,461 --> 00:46:53,331

Rapture,

:

00:46:53,550 --> 00:46:55,500

LAura: I sure hope Deanna gets raptured

:

00:46:56,149 --> 00:47:01,309

Xhafer: I had to edit this episode

descriptions so fucking much.

:

00:47:01,579 --> 00:47:02,899

This one I had to edit a bit.

:

00:47:03,319 --> 00:47:07,639

Next episode was like three

paragraphs for some reason, and

:

00:47:07,639 --> 00:47:09,379

I cut it to like two sentences.

:

00:47:09,589 --> 00:47:10,894

LAura: Yeah, that's too much.

:

00:47:10,894 --> 00:47:11,374

Anyway.

:

00:47:11,404 --> 00:47:11,584

Three

:

00:47:11,599 --> 00:47:12,049

Xhafer: yeah.

:

00:47:12,229 --> 00:47:12,759

LAura: Come on,

:

00:47:13,253 --> 00:47:16,463

Xhafer: Deanna squares off with

Adama over the temple of five.

:

00:47:17,213 --> 00:47:21,203

Athena asks Hilo for help

in her plan to rescue her.

:

00:47:22,593 --> 00:47:26,763

Apollo asks a lot of D while

the centurion's attack.

:

00:47:27,251 --> 00:47:27,471

LAura: huh?

:

00:47:28,226 --> 00:47:28,766

Oh boy.

:

00:47:28,921 --> 00:47:32,551

I hope we don't have a

heroic sacrifice from Dee.

:

00:47:32,551 --> 00:47:32,911

That would be.

:

00:47:33,866 --> 00:47:34,676

Not ideal.

:

00:47:36,499 --> 00:47:37,759

Xhafer: We'll find out next episode.

:

00:47:38,149 --> 00:47:38,509

LAura: Yeah.

:

00:47:38,839 --> 00:47:40,879

Or if d has to go rescue Starbucks.

:

00:47:40,939 --> 00:47:41,449

Oh.

:

00:47:42,229 --> 00:47:43,909

Xhafer: Wouldn't that

be the fucking worst?

:

00:47:44,269 --> 00:47:48,049

Could you imagine Lee asking

Dee to go save Starbuck?

:

00:47:48,949 --> 00:47:52,279

LAura: Like the whole time she'd be so

fucking, she'd be like kicking the rocks.

:

00:47:53,059 --> 00:47:54,889

She goes past like, this sucks.

:

00:47:54,979 --> 00:47:55,729

I hate this.

:

00:47:58,384 --> 00:47:59,584

Well, I look forward to it.

:

00:47:59,734 --> 00:48:02,254

I'm gonna go rip that

bandaid off real quick.

:

00:48:03,709 --> 00:48:03,999

Xhafer: Good.

:

00:48:04,459 --> 00:48:08,569

I look forward to seeing text

messages from you in the morning.

:

00:48:08,599 --> 00:48:11,929

'cause I will be fucking

sleeping in about 15 minutes.

:

00:48:12,139 --> 00:48:13,009

LAura: You deserve it.

:

00:48:13,309 --> 00:48:14,419

Xhafer: Oh, I fucking do.

:

00:48:14,419 --> 00:48:15,499

I'm so tired.

:

00:48:15,799 --> 00:48:16,009

LAura: Uhhuh.

:

00:48:16,369 --> 00:48:17,719

Xhafer: I'm so tired.

:

00:48:18,469 --> 00:48:24,469

Also, the fact that we started this

recording and I was drinking a chamomile

:

00:48:24,469 --> 00:48:26,059

tea with a little bit of whiskey in it.

:

00:48:26,174 --> 00:48:26,464

LAura: Yeah.

:

00:48:27,169 --> 00:48:27,619

Xhafer: Yeah.

:

00:48:28,249 --> 00:48:28,999

LAura: You're real chill

:

00:48:29,314 --> 00:48:29,534

Xhafer: um.

:

00:48:29,569 --> 00:48:30,349

LAura: It's, it's good.

:

00:48:30,544 --> 00:48:31,294

Xhafer: I'm good.

:

00:48:31,294 --> 00:48:33,454

It wasn't a CBD cha meal at least.

:

00:48:34,144 --> 00:48:38,944

I don't know that I do a, I have done

the CBD chamomile with whiskey before.

:

00:48:39,694 --> 00:48:41,164

That's a real chill vibe.

:

00:48:41,254 --> 00:48:44,164

That's a, that's a, that's

a relaxing place to be.

:

00:48:44,854 --> 00:48:50,254

Um, just like a relaxing

place to be is with your buds.

:

00:48:50,374 --> 00:48:57,211

And you can do that orally or a URL

:

00:48:57,646 --> 00:49:02,986

LAura: Orally is how I try to like

distinguish orally and orally.

:

00:49:03,391 --> 00:49:03,961

Xhafer: Orally.

:

00:49:03,961 --> 00:49:04,381

Yeah.

:

00:49:04,516 --> 00:49:06,856

LAura: don't know if that's

actually accurate or not.

:

00:49:06,856 --> 00:49:10,216

We could probably get the misra to

break down the pronunciations for

:

00:49:10,216 --> 00:49:12,466

us, but Yeah, that's what I try.

:

00:49:13,411 --> 00:49:16,026

Xhafer: but uh, but listening

to Jeremy Siegel, it was the

:

00:49:16,026 --> 00:49:17,316

segue I was going for there,

:

00:49:17,356 --> 00:49:17,706

LAura: Uhhuh.

:

00:49:18,376 --> 00:49:20,356

Xhafer: German C4 two.bandcamp.com.

:

00:49:21,526 --> 00:49:26,086

Go get him a fucking listen, go buy

him a fucking Christmas present by

:

00:49:26,116 --> 00:49:31,006

buying some of his music on Band

camp because he actually sees money

:

00:49:31,006 --> 00:49:34,336

from that, hypothetically, I assume.

:

00:49:34,966 --> 00:49:35,626

I hope.

:

00:49:35,626 --> 00:49:36,196

Fuck

:

00:49:36,436 --> 00:49:37,876

LAura: I think band camp's one of the

:

00:49:37,876 --> 00:49:38,566

better ones

:

00:49:38,746 --> 00:49:39,556

Xhafer: one of the good ones.

:

00:49:39,556 --> 00:49:39,691

I think

:

00:49:40,276 --> 00:49:40,696

LAura: from

:

00:49:40,831 --> 00:49:44,026

Xhafer: if if it's not, I really hope

you said something before now, because

:

00:49:44,026 --> 00:49:48,106

I wouldn't have said it every fucking

episode to this podcast, otherwise,

:

00:49:48,646 --> 00:49:49,096

LAura: right.

:

00:49:49,546 --> 00:49:50,711

Xhafer: 200 fucking times.

:

00:49:51,616 --> 00:49:55,151

LAura: We'll have to, we'll have to set

up a little Venmo for Jeremy if they

:

00:49:55,151 --> 00:49:57,616

all just, if they're all just the worst.

:

00:49:57,856 --> 00:50:00,556

Xhafer: They're all just the

worst, has no way of making money.

:

00:50:00,741 --> 00:50:01,161

LAura: Mm-hmm.

:

00:50:01,456 --> 00:50:02,446

Xhafer: what a nightmare

:

00:50:02,446 --> 00:50:03,436

LAura: buy 'em a coffee.

:

00:50:03,646 --> 00:50:04,396

Xhafer: cap it took you.

:

00:50:05,296 --> 00:50:06,406

Anyways, thanks Jeremy.

:

00:50:06,586 --> 00:50:07,246

Appreciate you.

:

00:50:07,846 --> 00:50:08,386

LAura: indeed.

:

00:50:08,536 --> 00:50:11,716

And thanks to angry duck time machine

on Instagram for the podcast artwork.

:

00:50:12,279 --> 00:50:14,889

Xhafer: Aaron, thanks so much

for editing this podcast.

:

00:50:14,889 --> 00:50:16,994

Appreciate you and all the work

you do to make us sound coherent.

:

00:50:17,579 --> 00:50:21,629

LAura: Especially late at night when we've

been drinking our chamomile whiskey tea.

:

00:50:22,334 --> 00:50:22,694

Xhafer: Right.

:

00:50:24,659 --> 00:50:25,049

LAura: Yeah.

:

00:50:25,049 --> 00:50:25,859

And thanks listener.

:

00:50:25,859 --> 00:50:29,669

If you wanna hang out with us, probably

not late at night 'cause we both got

:

00:50:29,849 --> 00:50:32,849

places to be unfortunately in the morning.

:

00:50:33,339 --> 00:50:38,249

You can join the Discord and uh,

we'll hang out with you and if we

:

00:50:38,249 --> 00:50:41,519

don't see your message until the

morning, we'll respond when we do.

:

00:50:41,875 --> 00:50:42,415

Xhafer: All right.

:

00:50:42,415 --> 00:50:43,375

We'll see you next week.

:

00:50:43,375 --> 00:50:43,855

Internet.

:

00:50:44,116 --> 00:50:44,336

LAura: Bye.

:

00:50:44,706 --> 00:50:44,916

Xhafer: Bye.
