Portlandia Season 2 Preview: A Frackin Funny Clip For Battlestar Galactica Fans

Christmas may still be a few days away, but IFC has given us an early gift, which will likely appeal most to those of us who love Portlandia and Battlestar Galactica. This new clip from Portlandia’s upcoming second season will especially hit home for those of us who jumped into Battlestar Galactica (Jump!) partway through the series or after it finished airing.

The video below was posted at the IFC blog for Portlandia, which states that this clip comes from the “much rumored Battlestar Galactica inspired episode of Portlandia,” which implies that there’s even more frackin’ hilarity to look forward to! In the meantime, see how BSG affects the lives of Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein’s characters in this clip...

I didn't really need a reason to love Portlandia any more than I do, but I'm happy to have one. As someone who came into Battlestar Galactica at the start of the Syfy series’ third season and then went back and watched the first two seasons via DVD, I can relate to the above video on a slightly less extreme level. So say we all!

“One episode, and then we go to dessert...”

Portlandia returns for Season 2 January 6th at 10 p.m. ET on IFC.

Kelly West
Assistant Managing Editor

Kelly put her life-long love of movies, TV and books to greater use when she joined CinemaBlend as a freelance TV news writer in 2006, and went on to serve as the site’s TV Editor before joining the staff full-time in 2011 and moving over to other roles at the site. At present, she’s an Assistant Managing Editor who spends much of her time brainstorming and editing features, analyzing site data, working with writers and editors on content planning and the workflow, and (of course) continuing to obsess over the best movies and TV shows (those that already exist, and the many on the way). She graduated from SUNY Cortland with BA in Communication Studies and a minor in Cinema Studies. When she isn't working, she's probably thinking about work, or reading (or listening to a book), and making sure her cats are living their absolute best feline lives.
