Guns in the Temple: BSG Season 3A

The Syfy hit Battlestar Galactica was the most talked-about drama when it aired from 2003 to 2009, and Jacob Clifton at Television Without Pity has been part of that conversation since it started. GUNS IN THE TEMPLE is the second of six volumes, collecting Jacob’s popular columns throughout the show’s Winter 2006 season.

Four months into the Cylon occupation of New Caprica, the Resistance continues as Adama and Apollo argue over the plan to rescue the colonists. We move from guerilla warfare to terrorism as the insurgency grows, and eventually the Fleet return. Viruses both computer and human-made, visitors from the past and a daring journey through "The Passage" lead us to the Eye of Jupiter, where a tense showdown erupts over a holy site. Notable for "Unfinished Business," which relates the days on New Caprica before the occupation via a very intense boxing match.

Over fifteen years writing and creating communities at Television Without Pity, Jacob Clifton was noted by industry and fans alike for his positive analytical approach and ebullient humor. His weekly columns—on shows ranging from American Idol to The Apprentice, Battlestar Galactica to Gossip Girl, Homeland to Pretty Little Liars and more—set off a decade of conversations across the internet.

Now, with the former site defunct and a Gawker editorship in the rearview, Jacob is excited to release these definitive, heavily revised editions of those classic recaps at jacobclifton.com. Please visit for more info and join the mailing list!
