Michelle
Talk Show Host/Web Designer
Michele is not only one of the co-hosts of the Galactica Quorum but also serves as one of our web designers, the convention researcher and PR Rep.

Podcasting about Sci-fi was just a natural progression for Michele's full immersion into geekdom. Throughout her life, Michele was lucky to have family and friends who also love Sci-Fi, computers, and gaming. It was her cousin, Kevin who first introduced her to the fabulous world of Star Wars.

Along with Star Wars, Michele tends to enjoy science fiction, fantasy and horror movies. As well as Sci-fi tv shows such as Battlestar Galactica, Stargate SG-1, Doctor Who, Hex, Ghost Hunters, Heroes, Firefly, etc. Other than TV and movies, Michele has participated in a wide range of hobbies and jobs over the years just for the pure enjoyment including acting, candle making, blogging, writing novels, reading and Geocaching.

If Michele could have what she really wanted she would live in the world of Harry Potter, be telekinetic, and have someone fully explain why psychic abilities are so confusing.

Jason
Talk Show Host/Drop-in Cynic

His basic role for the Quorum is "drop-in cynic," because he can only make some of the podcasts and when he does, 90 percent of his comments are complaints or criticisms. He also has a brain full of useless trivia and references that he often throws out in an attempt to look like he knows what he's talking about.

The success of the podcast has caused Jason to admit that he is far more of a geek than he wants to believe. While still clinging onto fading dreams of capturing glory in the sports arena, his minor contribution to the Quorum's Parsec award just added to his list/shelf/closet of writing, science and math accomplishments. Jason is admittedly more Neville Longbottom than Harry Potter, but he still won't attend a convention.

Jason's core tenets of sci-fi

* None of today's shows will stand the test of time like Star Trek: The Next Generation (the Borg is the greatest enemy ever created), Buffy (the strongest collection of female talent in the history of sci-fi and they kicked ass) or Challenge of the Super Friends (the Legion of Doom is a strong No. 2 to the Borg).
* While Grace Park is quite fetching, Herb Jefferson Jr. IS Boomer, and Sheba remains the hottest Viper pilot in the galaxy.
* The only movie to ever get time travel right is Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure

And he loves talking about himself in third person

Listen	The Galactica Quorum Podcast Episode 80 - Dollhouse Season 1 Review! We review Dollhouse Season One, from the pilot script all the way to the unaired (but fabulous) “Epitaph One.” We take both a close-up and wide angle look at the season, summarizing each episode and examining the main story arcs and mysteries. We lament some of the character and story choices that led to the rocky start of the first several episodes, but the momentum leading up to the season finale gives us confidence that the series has found its footing. Imprinted to act like Quorum podcasters were Brian and Michele, with a short appearance by Jason.
Listen	The Galactica Quorum Podcast Episode 79 - The Post Mortem of Battlestar Galactica Continues! The post-mortem on the BSG finale continues. We grapple with the nature of the Angels and the Lords of Kobol connection. To aid the analysis we revisit a conversation with Katee Sackhoff. We ask, where does BSG fit in the SciFi pantheon, finale and all? We then switch gears to Caprica. We’ll be part of the Podcasting Track at DragonCon! Come see our LIVE show on Sunday, September 6, at 7pm in 204 Hilton. We hope to see you there! View the full Podcasting Track Schedule. The rested and rejuvenated Quorum consisted of Brian, Jason,* and Michele.
Listen	The Galactica Quorum Podcast Episode 78 - Scott Sigler - Horror Novelist Discuss the BSG's End! "The GALACTICA QUORUM Podcast at Balticon!” This is our live panel discussion at Balticon 2009. We’re joined by best-selling horror/scifi author Scott Sigler to discuss the BSG finale and gauge people’s reactions to the show’s ending. We had several participants from the audience give their opinions, and we also polled them about whether they had interest in “Caprica” or “The Plan.” The results were surprising! Thanks for all who came out and attended! It was great meeting you. Visit Scott’s website at www.scottsigler.com. The live Quorum consisted of Brian, Michele, and guest Scott Sigler.
Listen	The Galactica Quorum Podcast Episode 77 - A Review of Battlestar Galactica's "CAPRICA” We delve into the Caprica movie and ponder how well it fits in the Battlestar Galactica universe, from production design to technology to story continuity. We scrutinize the hedonistic Virtual Club and the teen angst genesis of the Cylons–do the Cylons truly have Artificial Intelligence? We consider where the series could go, and reveal some potential future storylines from key scenes that were only in the script. Come see us at Balticon! It runs May 22-25, and our live panel will be on May 24, at 7pm.

Listen	The Galactica Quorum Podcast Episode 75 - A Review of Battlestar Galactica's "Daybreak - Part II” After taking some time to contemplate the final episode, we convene for a full discussion of some of the major (and controversial) developments. Was it a satisfying conclusion? There are many elements to discuss, and for this episode we begin with the main points of contention: Starbuck’s angelic destiny, “God,” and Cavil’s suicide.

Recorded at the first prop auction in January, we talked to Glenne Campbell (Costume Designer), Ken Hawryliw (Prop Master), and Kevin Grazier (Science Advisor). We find out some of the design cues that differentiated the wardrobe of the Eight models, what became of the original Colonial Blaster (Sidearm), and the scientific vetting that goes on once the writers submit a story. Thanks to Glenne, Ken, and Kevin for talking with us!
Listen	The Galactica Quorum Podcast Episode 73 - A Review of Battlestar Galactica's "Islanded In a Stream of Stars” BSG is finished….and here are our immediate, live reactions after viewing the series finale, “Daybreak, Part 2.” More in-depth analysis and coverage are to come, including feedback and opinion from listeners. What did you think? The shocked and awed Quorum consisted of Brian, Jason, Dimitry, and guest Reagan.
Listen	The Galactica Quorum Podcast Episode 72 - A Review of Battlestar Galactica's "Islanded In a Stream of Stars” There were few new developments in “Islanded In A Stream Of Stars,” leading us to wonder if everything was being saved up for the finale–and if that was a wise choice. Fresh clues were scarce, but we discuss Anders, Angels, and the Cylon Colony. We also offer final theories and pose the question: will you really be satisfied if the show ends darkly, knowing there will never be another episode to make amends? Announcing The Quorries! It’s the fave moments from the podcast… send us your nominations! Here is The Quorries page on our forum, or you can send submissions to gquorum@gmail.com.

Listen	The Galactica Quorum Podcast Episode 70 - A Review of Battlestar Galactica's “Someone to Watch Over Me” After a slow build-up, “Someone To Watch Over Me” ended with a powerful crescendo. We discuss Boomer’s dark nature and whether she was ever redeemable. Next we delve into the implications of Starbuck’s piano-playing father and the song they play. With only two episodes remaining we revisit the rapidly approaching finale and the possible fates for Galactica and the key characters. The Quorum for our longest podcast yet consisted of Brian, Dimitry, Michele, Byrne, and Bill.
Listen	The Galactica Quorum Podcast Episode 69 - A Review of Battlestar Galactica's “Deadlock” “Deadlock” was a disappointment, no other way to say it. The episode had questionable characterizations and head-scratching scenes, but amid the mess we unpack Ellen’s behavior and the state of the Cylon-Human blended ship. With little worthwhile to chew on from this episode, we turn to predictions and conjecture. Have we been given the key clue to Starbuck’s legacy? What role has Daniel played so far? And how does Baltar fit in? The querulous Quorum was Brian, Jason and Michele.
Listen	The Galactica Quorum Podcast Episode 68 - An Interview with Battlestar Galactica's Auction Michael Hogan We interview Michael Hogan at the BSG Prop Auction! Michael talks about playing Col. Tigh, the iconic eye patch, and whether he (the actor) has finally come to grips with his character being a Cylon. Thanks to Michael for the interview, and the beer! The interview was conducted by Brian.
Listen	The Galactica Quorum Podcast Episode 67 - A Review of Battlestar Galactica's “No Exit” In “No Exit” long-awaited answers are finally delivered in a flurry of reveals. We scrutinize how well the mysteries fit into the past, and find them to be a more than satisfactory fit. We turn our attention to the remaining puzzles: Starbuck, and the Head characters. Were the revelations too much too fast? And what of the previously unknown Model Seven? Links mentioned: * The Dollhouse Podcast * 2 Guys Talking - 24 The Quorum roster consisted of Brian and Jason.
Listen	The Galactica Quorum Podcast Episode 66 - An Interview with Battlestar Galactica's Richard Hatch An Original and New Cast Member Speaks We interview Richard Hatch, who gives unique insight into the character of Tom Zarek. Whatever you thought of the character before, you may have a different impression once you hear his motivation and perspective, directly from the actor that played him. Thank you, Richard, for talking with us! The interview was conducted by Brian.
Listen	The Galactica Quorum Podcast Episode 65 - A Review of Battlestar Galactica's “Blood on the Scales” The mutiny story arc comes to a gripping conclusion with “Blood On The Scales.” Not just the outcome of the coup storyline, but the resolution of Gaeta’s character. If the heart-quickening mutiny wasn’t enough, we also examine other storylines tucked in the episode: What happened to Anders? Was Romo’s appearance worthwhile? And what is happening to Galactica? Surviving the bloody Quorum massacre to bring you this podcast were Brian and Michele.
Listen	The Galactica Quorum Podcast Episode 64 - A Review of Battlestar Galactica's “The Oath” The bloody mutiny in “The Oath” made for a taut, tension-filled episode. Besides cheering the return of Starbuck’s ass-kicking ways, we appreciated Gaeta’s orchestrations while lamenting his lost morality. We wonder, who left is redeemable? Contains small spoiler about Helo and Sharon (first mentioned in our Tahmoh Penikett interview). Brian in front of the CIC plotting table Brian in front of the CIC plotting table.

Listen	The Galactica Quorum Podcast Episode 63 - A Review of Battlestar Galactica's “A Disquiet Follows My Soul” After the powerful, moving brilliance of the last episode, “A Disquiet Follows My Soul” was a letdown, although we had varying reasons why we felt that way. For one in the Quorum, it hinted at an all-too familiar plot path. For another, it was another setup episode. And the Nicky resolution? Cop out! Plus, why Gaeta’s role is a bad thing on a couple levels. Links mentioned: * We were guests on GeeksOn, discussing BSG * The Dirk Benedict blog rant * Podcast Plug: The Signal The Quorum cast was the duo of Brian and Jason. Oddly, that’s the first time in 63 episodes it has just been that pair!
Listen	The Galactica Quorum Podcast Episode 62 - A Review of Battlestar Galactica's “Sometimes a Great Notion” The final episodes begin impressively with “Sometimes A Great Notion.” Among the many bombshells, we discuss Cylon Earth, Starbuck’s eerie discovery and Leoben’s reaction, Dee’s suicide, and oh yeah… the identity of the Fifth Cylon. What an episode! We also tell about our trip to Los Angeles for the BSG Prop Auction and all the activities that we saw and participated in. A few L.A. podcasts are in the production pipeline–watch for those in the coming weeks. It was also great meeting online friends in person for the first time! The full body of the Quorum was in session, with Brian, Dimitry, Jason, Michele, Jen, and (”the other”) Jen.
Listen	The Galactica Quorum Podcast Episode 61 - “Co-Podcast with BSGCast” We ventured to sunny L.A. for the BSG Prop Auction and the Frak Party Premiere, and recorded a co-podcast with Matt and Nat from BSGCast about the shocking new BSG episode. This is the audio from the video podcast. Richard Hatch makes an appearance, too! We got a ton of interviews and material from the weekend, and have also recorded our own discussion the episode with the usual Quorum. That will be following shortly. Find the BSGCast at: BSGCast.com The mighty Quorum/BSGCast alliance consisted of Brian, Michele, Matt, and Nat. And for good measure, in the audience was Richard Hatch and Luciana Carro!.
Listen	The Galactica Quorum Podcast Episode 60 - Webisode Discussion - Townhall Podcast, Webisodes and Predictions In our second Townhall podcast we discuss the conclusion of the Gaeta webisodes. We then revisit Fifth Cylon theories one final time before stating our predictions, hopes, and expectations for BSG’s last ten episodes. The Quorum panel consisted of Brian, Dimitry, Byrne and Bill.
Listen	The Galactica Quorum Podcast Episode 59 - Webisode Discussion for Parts 4-8! We continue our discussion of the pre-Season 5 webisodes and gripe about spoilers in the writer commentary. While seemingly a standalone story, we wonder if this event gives us insight into the Eight’s character, and what it could mean for Athena. Unintended spoilers aside, how do you think this story will end? Will its resolution have any effect in Season 5? How does this webisode compare to previous webisode series? News/Notes: - New voice mail number!! 301-358-5175 - We are attending the BSG Prop Auction in L.A., January 15-17!

We break apart the individual segments and discuss the reveal about Gaeta’s character. This is our first glimpse of the Rag Tag Fleet since the cliffhanger on the devastated Earth, so we attempt to interpret what it could mean for Season Five. The Quorum members for this session were Brian, Jason, and Michele.
Listen	The Galactica Quorum Podcast Episode 57 - A Talk with Alec Peters from Propworx and a Special Upcoming Auction We continue our discussion of the pre-Season 5 webisodes and gripe about spoilers in the writer commentary. While seemingly a standalone story, we wonder if this event gives us insight into the Eight’s character, and what it could mean for Athena. Unintended spoilers aside, how do you think this story will end? Will its resolution have any effect in Season 5? How does this webisode compare to previous webisode series?

Listen	The Galactica Quorum Podcast Episode 56 - A Special Battlestar Galactica-centric Podcast HEROES Pile-On With little BSG news lately, we turn our eye to other sci-fi shows. In this wide-ranging discussion we cover Heroes, Sarah Connor, Buffy, Knight Rider, and even… Alf? This was recorded a few weeks ago, but our complaints with Heroes still hold true. Have you given up on Heroes? Links mentioned: Maureen Ryan’s Chicago Tribune TV blog post about Heroes Shout out to GeeksOn podcast This cranky Quorum consisted of Brian, Jason, and Michele.

Listen	The Galactica Quorum Podcast Episode 52 - A Special Battlestar Galactica-centric Podcast Back from Dragon-Con! We’re back from DragonCon, flush with great memories and a Parsec Award for Best Fan Podcast!

The fall TV schedule is gearing up and we revisit “The Sarah Connor Chronicles.” Some killer games are coming out this month as well, but Michele has some things to say about Spore.

But besides the unexpected arrival at Earth, we also praise Edward James Olmos‘ performance, discuss the episode’s rushed storylines in context with news about more BSG movies and webisodes, and begin theorizing what’s next. We also lay out of plans for the offseason, including an upcoming Season Four review, and much more! Stick around! News mentioned in the podcast: More BSG movies? and webisodes?

Listen	The Galactica Quorum Podcast Episode 47 - A Review of Battlestar Galactica's The Hub The events in “The Hub” had monumental implications for the Cylons, although the episode itself fell just a bit short. We discuss Roslin’s latest trippy experience and the Eight’s infatuation with Helo. Have we really seen the last of Boomer and Cavil?

Listen	The Galactica Quorum Podcast Episode 46 - A Review of Battlestar Galactica's Sine Qua Non Despite Lee’s cluelessness, we still found a lot to like about “Sine Qua Non.” We discuss the significance of a Cylon-Cylon baby, the Quorum’s antics, Romo Lampkin’s return, and whether Lee is fit for the job. We also propose a story for what might make a good BSG episode (think “Bushwhacked” from Firefly) and pitch an idea for a new BSG spinoff. We also do a roundup of some of the summer’s sci-fi movies.

Listen	The Galactica Quorum Podcast Episode 44 - A Review of Battlestar Galactica's Guess What's Coming To Dinner “Guess What’s Coming To Dinner” continues the streak of excellent episodes. Whereas the previous episode had a more singular story, this show masterfully wove together multiple storylines and characters, and most importantly, propelled the story forward. We praise all the new developments and building momentum, including the fragile alliance, Hera, the opera house, Roslin and Baltar jointly seeing the hybrid, Natalie’s fate, and the cliffhanger ending. The Quorum participants for this episode were Brian, Michele, and Jason.
Listen	The Galactica Quorum Podcast Episode 43 - A Review of Battlestar Galactica's Faith We felt “Faith” was another strong episode. We discuss Roslin’s open mind about spiritual possibilities, attempt to interpret the Hybrid’s message, ponder why the Eights are a herd of pod people, and discuss what has become of Gaeta’s character.

Listen	The Galactica Quorum Podcast Episode 42 - A Review of Battlestar Galactica's The Road Less Traveled BSG rebounds with “The Road Less Traveled,” an episode that not coincidentally focused on the Demetrius. The Quorum weighs in on the mutiny, the extensive yet whiny crew, and just what Athena is doing on the mission. Plus, we debate Baltar’s motives.

Listen	The Galactica Quorum Podcast Episode 41 - A Review of Battlestar Galactica's Escape Velocity After the previous brilliant episode, “Escape Velocity” was a letdown. The episode title was ironic, since the show never seemed to take off, but we try to interpret what seemed to be setup storylines. We discuss Tigh and Chief’s deteriorating mental states, ponder Roslin’s fate, and state the case for Tory being evil (and not just “misunderstood”). The Quorum consisted of Brian, Jason, and Michele.
Listen	The Galactica Quorum Podcast Episode 40 - A Review of Battlestar Galactica's The Ties That Bind We felt “The Ties That Bind” was a landmark episode, excellent in execution and full of events that will shape the remaining season. We discuss Tory’s transformation into a villainess, the Cylon civil war, and try to ignore the smell on the Demetrius. Links mentioned in the podcast: Six of One recap on YouTube Cue the Film podcast Quorum appointees for this episode were Brian, Dimitry, Michele, and Ted.
Listen	The Galactica Quorum Podcast Episode 39 - A Review of Battlestar Galactica's Six of One There were many enigmatic clues in “Six Of One” and we try to interpret them. We discuss the reference to the Original Programmers, Six’s bloody revolution, Head Baltar, and Starbuck’s promising mission. Plus, we ask Katee Sackhoff questions at a SciFi teleconference, and catch up on voicemails and emails. The depleted Quorum for this episode was Brian and Michele.
Listen	The Galactica Quorum Podcast Episode 38 - A Review of Battlestar Galactica's He Hath Believeth In Me BSG is back! Season Four finally is here and we have a lively (and heated) discussion about the premiere. We tussle over Baltar’s religious harem and mock Lee’s aspirations of government service. Plus, we have the requisite Final Five speculation. Be sure to join in on the discussion by sending us email, calling our voicemail (205-350-6756) or visiting our message board! Brian, Dimitry, Jen and Michele made up this installment’s opinionated Quorum members.
Listen	The Galactica Quorum Podcast Episode 37 - A Review of Battlestar Galactica Season Four Predictions With Season Four imminent, we state our final predictions: Which of the Five will crack first? What’ll become of some of the secondary characters? Can the two religions truly reconcile? Plus, a very interesting theory about how the Final Five resurrect. The speculating seers for this episode were Brian, Dimitry, Jen and Michele.
Listen	The Galactica Quorum Podcast Episode 36- A Review of Battlestar Galactica Season Four Predictions March 28th, 2008 Running Time: 25 min 36 sec. With Season Four right around the corner, we state our predictions and theories about the Final Five and how the show will end. We catch up a some voicemails and email, and also we pose the question: Why was Simon never developed as a character? Mentioned in the show: Maureen Ryan’s TV blog, and Caprica is greenlit! But will it satisfy your BSG craving? The podcasting prognosticators for this episode were Brian, Michele, and Jason.
Listen	The Galactica Quorum Podcast Episode 35 February 25th, 2008 Running Time: 25 min 36 sec. We interview James Callis at the Farpoint convention in Baltimore!
