Shownotes Transcript

Welcome back, everybody! This week we aim high and take on hard sci-fi. Turns out it’s a pretty high mark that is hard to hit if you don’t give it much forethought. In this episode we get frustrated with established lore while finding an explanation for cylons. We also tackle more mundane, and easier, problems like how this universe does artificial gravity. And briefly touch on faster than light travel and how the hard sci-fi already addresses it. And before you leave comments: Yes, Geoff did get Gaius’s name wrong and he deeply regrets the error.

Thanks to Joe Sopchak for our theme music.
