Frak this Podcast! #8 - Litmus
🕑 Added 2025-04-15 13:01:03 +0000 UTCThe latest episode of Frak This podcast is out now! This week, Vera and I dive into "Litmus," an episode about paranoia, fear, and the totally gonna go fine idea of tribunals to root out robot infiltrators. It’s definitely not like a Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, and I absolutely don’t bring that up at all. Nope. Not once.

This is a frustrating episode because it's a fundamentally great idea. There have been security lapses and Cylon agents are exploiting those weaknesses. Hadrian starting at 100% suspicious leaves her nowhere to go. A slower build from documenting facts to noticing inconsistencies to prosecuting wrongdoers to then testing the line between legitimate suspicion and paranoia would have been a better story but probably would have had to build over multiple episodes. BSG gets better at that sort of thing over time, but it's not fully baked yet.
