Baltar's doing what he must aboard the basestar to save his own skin; Starbuck and Tigh aren't playing nice with the other kids; and everyone's in a race to find planet Earth. Whole lotta good ol' fashioned space conflict in this episode of Battlestar Galactica!

We've got the Battlestar Galactica in communication with the folks on New Caprica. Tigh's really leaning into the whole salty sea captain persona—eye patch and all—albeit on dry land, and we learn that Adama's struck up an unlikely friendship. There's just a lot going on in this episode. Feels like we're gearing up for something big.

It's the first episode of season 3 of Battlestar Galactica which means—
IIIIIIT'S BEEN one year since the Cylons came
Gaeta and Baltar suck—but who should we blame?
Saul Tigh, less an eye, is free:
"They ripped it out onto the floor, and showed it to me."
Starbuck's in the dining room
Leoben, shut your mouth—she'll shut it for you.
Adama keeps fat-shaming Lee

Battlestar Galactica Season 2 Recap
Is it really possible that we've reached the halfway point of our Battlestar Galactica (re)watch?
We're taking a moment to catch our breath and look back on where this last season has taken us: the ups and downs, the highs and lows, the Tighs and . . . woes? Look, it's been a rollercoaster of a season. Who has time to write poetry when there's an election to steal, a pyramid player to rescue, and a fabled planet to find?
And hey, if you're reading this, that means you're already hanging out in your podcatcher of choice. Howsabout you do us a blessing and rate and review Set Condition One? We'll make you an honorary member of the colonial fleet AND if you let us know on Twitter, President Andrea will send you your very own handwritten tweet. They're gonna be all the rage.

Lay Down Your Burdens Pt. 2
Whoa! It's the season two finale of both Set Condition One AND Battlestar Galactica. What're the odds?
In this, the second half of "Lay Down Your Burdens," it appears the Cylons have, for the time being, decided to leave humanity to its own devices; Kara brings her new boyfriend home to meet Dad; we find out the results of the presidential election—the events of which might strike just a bit to close to home for anyone listening in 2021. And, we might just add another name to the list of confirmed Cylons.

Lay Down Your Burdens Pt. 1
We've reached part one of the season two finale of Battlestar Galactica! In this episode, we learn about Tyrol's night troubles, meet a member of the Galactican clergy—who may or may not be related to our beloved Doctor Cottle—and get ourselves wrapped up in one of humanity's oldest debates: Which is better? https://www.businessinsider.com/wawa-or-sheetz-which-is-better#upon-entering-sheetz-we-were-stunned-by-the-flash-and-the-panache-but-this-stylish-sound-and-fashionable-fury-signifies-nothing-its-the-food-that-counts-while-sheetz-may-have-plentiful-soda-reserves-its-made-to-order-food-cant-measure-up-to-the-image-it-presents-30 (Wawa or Sheetz)?

We're seeing things through Cylon eyes this week! This episode takes us back to Caprica, where we get to see what at least a few of the Cylon models have been up to, lo these last 9 months.

Alright, so this isn't our favorite episode of Battlestar Galactica, but we still have a good time dunking on it.
We learn some stuff about Lee; we learn some stuff about commerce in space; Roslin makes a bad call. At least there's the silver lining appearance of our favorite rabble-rouser, Tom Zarek.

Pegasus
CW: This episode of Battlestar Galactica deals with torture and sexual assault.
We learned that there are multiple cuts of the episode. For most viewers, we strongly recommend the 45min cut that is streaming on Peacock TV.
When a ship jumps into DRADIS range broadcasting Colonial transponder codes, our crew is understandably skeptical. But is it a dream, or did another Battlestar really survive the Cylon attack? That's cause for celebration, right?! Definitely nothing will go wrong when an ambitious young admiral with a history of cruel decision-making takes control of the fleet. Let's be honest here - we love you Michelle Forbes, but we already hate Admiral Cain.
Not for the first - or last - time, we marvel at Tricia Helfer's range as an actor, and EJO's imposing presence even when he's no longer in charge. This cast is brilliant!

Flight of the Phoenix
A Galactica Carol:
Spirit - Tonight you will be visited by 3 Cylon viruses. The first will... MESS WITH THE LIGHTS!
Gaeta - AH!
Spirit - The second will... SCREW WITH YOUR MONITOR!
Dualla - AHH!!
Adama - What about the third?
Spirit - The third will... uhhh... it will also MESS WITH THE LIGHTS!
All - AHHHH!!
The Galactica's systems have been infected with a Cylon logic bomb, and if Baltar & Gaeta can't get it under control, they may be forced into a desperate move. Meanwhile, Chief Tyrol is tired of patching old planes with spit & octagonal duct tape, and decides to build his own - but who will be crazy enough to fly it?

Final Cut
Journalist D'anna Biers has been given unlimited access to the Galactica and her crew in order to tell the real stories of the fleet's protectors. But does she have other motives? By asking that question, am I confirming that she does? Will she give the people of the fleet a fair story, or will she reveal Galactica's darkest secrets? Why is even their TV formatted as an unnecessary octagon?? That's a lot of questions - you should probably watch the episode & then listen to us answer them.

Home Pt. 2
In what we believe was a midseason finale (why is that even a thing??) we encounter yet another 2-part episode. So we of course recorded both back to back and absolutely nothing went wrong. Why would you even say that?
The real takeaway from this episode is that Dr. Cottle needs his own spinoff - like MASH, but in space.
We grapple with the real issues:
How to get out of a ravine
Who has the more badass name, Wolf Blitzer or Bear McCreary?

The Science of Battlestar Galactica with Daniel Cohen
In this bonus episode, Andrea's in the CIC with her most trusted science advisor Daniel Cohen (there's no way in hell y'all thought that might be Gaius Baltar) to talk about space travel, special relativity, and why "FTL drives" may be a bit of a misnomer. And even though we're missing SC1 Actual Caleb and our XO, Kitzy, Dr. Cohen makes sure there's at least ONE Futurama reference in this episode.
In his own words, Daniel is "just what every Battlestar Galactica podcast needed: a white man with a graduate STEM degree and some opinions. A PhD protein chemist who sort of remembers undergrad physics and wanted to be on a podcast."
In reality, Daniel is a smart scientist who is good at teaching science stuff to non-science people with little goldfish brains, and we had a super fun time trying to figure out if the BSG fleet really is traveling faster than light.
If you can't get enough special relativity talk, here's a great explanation from Crash Course.

The Galactica has been boarded by a Cylon Raider-ing party, and they're not here for brunch. But the real questions is: is a Raider full of Centurions kinda like Trojan Horse full of horses? Do the crew have enough explosive rounds to kill these particularly tough Centurions? Can Jammer is repair a telephone in time??
Back on Caprica, Helo makes the rookie mistake of opening the fridge in Kara's apartment, while Kara finds a cigar that somehow isn't totally dried out. Also, we learn our girl Starbuck is totally a tortured artist with great taste in music (spoiler - it's Bear McCreary).

CONTENT WARNING: This episode deals with themes of self-harm that - while important to the plot - may be difficult to hear. We have taken note of the timestamp, so that you can skip this segment if needed: 13:30 to 20:30.
We are almost at the end of Season 1 (can you believe it!?) and there's a lot happening. we find the location of Kobol. Crashdown lives up to his name, Lee's a terrible boxer, and Kara's gone rogue to retrieve the Arrow of Apollo from Caprica. Which according to Andrea can't possibly be a literal arrow.

After weeks of running for their lives, the fleet takes time out for the truly important stuff - politics! I mean, come on! It's Colonial Day!

Even our good buddy Gaius gets into the spirit of the day - and maybe gets a little more responsibility than he bargained for.

Water
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.

Miniseries Pt. 1
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.
