Recommissioned: A Battlestar Galactica Podcast

Not much depth or trivia here. Just recapping shows.

I watched all of BSG around 2008. It became what I consider one of the greatest shows I’ve ever seen. There were times I tried to rewatch it, but shows like game of thrones, breaking bad and other things grabbed my attention, but my love for battlestar never left. I’m FINALLY watching it again after so many years. This podcast is amazing for fans and I love that y’all took so much time and devotion to make it happen.

So say we all

I have only recently watched BSG in full. As a fan of the LSG’s work, really pleased to be able to listen along and enjoy someone else (Matt) trying to figure what-on-earth is going on and why?!!! Also figure out what dead-end of a story arc Dean is trying to lure Matt into without giving spoilers away.

Their usual blend humour and questioning/expertise of the subject making this a mainstay listen along while I do some much needed decorating.

Stumbled upon this podcast recently. I like the dynamic of hearing from a guy who has never seen the series before with a die hard fan. It reminds me of what it was like for me on my first viewing of the show and trying to figure things out. The one host who knows the show fancies himself a Joe Rogan type (eye roll) and is a little cringey at times. That guy also talks ad nauseam about the show’s format and schedule. Like dude, it’s a podcast. We don’t care. It’s about a show that went off t... more

I stumbled upon this podcast and what a cool discovery ,I can re-watch all the shows by listening to them ,awesome show and a great podcast..... the Adama and tigh imitation are golden!

Great detailed discussion of the BSG episodes. It's a little long but they do cover everything in it. Fun dynamic to have someone who is only seeing the show one episode at a time. I think they're a little too in love with the show. I mean BSG is really great but some constructive criticism would be a good balance. Perhaps have an occasional guest who has some criticism of the show.

Another great podcast. I am catching up with the show and watching along with the guys. Dean and Matthews smart and intelligent banter makes watching the show even more pleasurable. Another 5* LSG show

Just wanted to say that there has never been a better time to rewatch the beloved Battlestar Galactica universe, and I have just discovered this podcast to keep me company. This will be my (I dunno) 7th rewatch maybe? I have to say that I'm delighted to hear some excellent insights and exploration that I have not heard before. I am really looking forward to deep diving into this again with you both. The first two episodes have been excellent. thank you!

I am doing my first Rewatch in almost a decade. This cast is great for it. My only wish is that there were a veteran to give his or her point of view. The host have a hard time with the Military part of this Military Science Fiction. No real fault of theirs, but, as a vet, I have a hard time with it sometimes.

I don’t get a spoiler free podcast about a show that is over 10 years old. The cat and mouse game that the two podcasters play is annoying. Recap format with analysis would be great. But quizzing your cohost constantly on an old show gets old quick. Had potential but collapses as the show doesn’t know what it wants to be.

Really enjoy the content. I've listened three seasons in. As a first time listener paranoid about spoilers, I appreciate the dynamic between Matt and Dean. The three things I hope they can improve on are the weird voices/impersonations, the political commentary, and the creepy obiectifying stuff. The episodes are very long and I feel the extended impressions are not funny and add a lot of dead weight to otherwise good commentary. I get uncomfortable every time they go on riffs about how hot cert... more

I love BSG and this is great commentary by 2 fans...and the seen-'em-all vs never seen conceit is fun! I also listen to the SciFi Film Podcast and how occasionally delete it mid-show when 'funny voice' veers into 'uncomfortably yet vaguely racist/misogynistic' territory...but for whatever reason 'Recomissioned doesn't bother me in that regard...good for listening, relistening and re-relistening.

Update: downgraded from 5 stars to 3 stars after deleting 'the passage' halfway through. You all are... more

I started listening to 'Recommissioned' a few months back and have finally caught up to the most recent episodes. The episode recaps are really thorough and I particularly enjoy revisiting all of my favorite episodes of BSG. In the beginning I also agreed with a previous reviewer who said that the "uncomfortable yet vaguely racist/misogynistic" comments from the SciFi Film Podcast didn't bother them in this particular podcast. They didn't seem to bother me, either, as they usually are few and fa... more

Do you love BSG? Do you love podcasts? Then why are you still reading this review? Subscribe to this podcast now and get to listening. Admiral Adama commands it! I've tried listening to other podcasts with similar concepts before, where one host has seen the show before and the other one is watching for the first time. Its a great way to listen to a podcast and relive the first time you saw the show. But out of all the other podcasts I’ve tried like this, Recommissioned is the only one that pull... more

I’m really enjoying this set up with Matt & Dean!

The work ethic put into these shows is outstanding and inspiring!

I’m halfway through season 2 of BSG and binge listening the show LSG produces to keep me thinking.

I only wish I could catch up to join in the new broadcast.
