- Why didn't the squarm eat the magnetic accelerator? If it's non-metal then why are they talking about using squarm droppings to make parts? I guess they don't eat refined metal.. but.. why are they worried about the maru? Um.. sigh.
- 27:00 -- Ok, so they throw themselves into space.. then what? They still have no fuel. What would they do.. use fins to turn themselves, then somehow slipstream.. etc? Sigh
- 38:40 -- Oh, swing by the sun to get fuel? Ok..

So somehow the Pyrian addiction is a way to make the Pyrians get involved in the whole war thing?
ep2 ∞
- 36:00 -- uh, why all the fighting? Was the male AI used for combat or something? Well maybe babe there was built for combat.. so who do you think would win? No real contest there..
ep3 ∞
- 14:20 -- Babe could take a slip fighter and look...

If we do not live another day,
say this over our pyre:They died like High Guard Lancers

13th Imperial Lancers
CY 4233
- 1:00 -- Pulse, Artificial respiration
- 2:00 -- Hey look, free sexbot.
- 2:10 -- Emergency power. See also The Terminator - (1984 movie)
- 4:00 -- Okay, I was willing to overlook the bad narration earlier, but apparently whoever this guy is, is here to stay.
- 5:00 -- Andromeda has androids left?
-
10:20 -- Can the ship flee from a nova bomb explosion? I'd want to blow the hell out of that monstrosity even if I save everyone.
- Well they have the Maru, presumably it's intact, so it's doable.
- 10:50 -- See also Alien (1979)[doesn't exist] or one of its sequels.
- 13:40 -- That's a very, very, tiny sun.
- 18:30 -- Nova bombs must have a very long range, or do they need to be deployed inside the orbit of the nearest planet perhaps?
- 19:00 -- Messier 86, Virgo (constellation)
- 23:30 -- Grenades would go a long way. Also, don't they have ammo concerns?
- 24:30 -- The echos would be ridiculous. The robot should have been helping with that.
- 32:00 -- Wouldn't the Andromeda have to flee from the nova bomb explosion?
-
33:45 --
Behold the fiery beast with the razored tail that cuts through mountains, trampling castles down. Inhale the stench that makes the whole world wail. -- Inferno (Dante) (chapter 17), by Dante Alighieri
- 34:20 -- How would they get out? Without being able to find Dillan, they have no ship. I doubt Magog swarm ships have slipstream capability.
- 36:15 -- Shouldn't they recognize it? They did see it in a video still earlier.
- 38:50 -- Maybe they could have nanobots kill them one at a time, over the course of months.

The soul is larger than the sky
Deeper than the ocean,
Or the abysmal dark
Of the unfathomed center.- Enoch Vere de Vere.
"Lamentations Sous-Terre", CY 9734
- 0:25 -- Nietzscheans, Mandel Pride, slavers.
- 0:50 -- If the Andromeda is still dead in space, why aren't they mostly on it?
- 1:10 -- AP tanks. Again. Apparently they're for fuel now.
- 1:40 -- If they're hunting in space nearby, then the nearest system is probably a place that Mandel Pride would have already taken, or are about to take.
- 3:40 -- Hey look, free Magog. Uh. Eww.
- 3:50 -- Those are three-week dead bodies?
-
4:50 -- Compartmentalization (psychology).
- Skimming the article, this appears to be employed by religious people in science.
- 5:00 -- If they were being shot at, then the bad guys were close enough to track them.
- 5:30 -- For someone to be knocked out, they would not be fine.
- 6:10 -- What the fuck is a GFG?
- 8:40 -- They said that there were no animals here, that they knew of. Are they expecting to find a civilization of vegetarians? That would be kindof cool.
- 9:50 -- Boy, a helmet sure would be helpful in that cold. Wait, they don't even have space suits on a spaceship?
- 11:00 -- He's marking his trail. I assume he's been out there for a while and has gone a good distance.
- 13:00 -- I was thinking I would have been moving inside of the tree-line to avoid pitfalls like the other one he found. That would have made for good cover.
- 18:45 -- I think it's been plainly obvious that Bem would be sent out to kill the Nietzscheans.
- 19:00 -- Sinkholes
- 23:00 -- Starvation, Autolysis (biology)
- 26:45 -- It looks like it has power. I saw green lights.
- 27:20 -- Is GFG a Gravity Field Generator?
- 27:30 -- Coilgun
- 27:50 -- How does he propose to make wire? They don't have manufacturing facilities.
- 33:30 -- Why wasn't Trance being given instructions?
- 34:10 -- Sin
- 35:30 -- There's a nice argument for The Divine having made the Magog god too.
- 38:30 -- Newton's laws of motion
- 40:30 -- "If you would like me to leave, sir, you have but to ask." is a play on, I believe, the Japanese samurai phrasing/concept of being ordered to die by their emperor. I had heard it in the movie The Last Samurai - (2003 movie) and I know it's older than that. Perhaps it's from some novel.
s02e03 - 2001-10-15 - A Heart for Falsehood Framed ∞
Love? Truth? Beauty?
I prefer negotiable securities.Doge Miskich Var Miskich,
"All About Me" 301 AFC
- 2:15 -- Soil
- 2:45 -- She was too far away, he was talking to himself.
- 3:00 -- Oh hey, is that actor from Frank Herbert's Dune - (2000 movie)?
- 3:45 -- Stealing's legal there? Wh--what?
- 7:00 -- Negotiation
- 8:00 -- Hockey
- 9:15 -- Big Brother (Nineteen Eighty-Four)
- 19:00 -- She bumped into, and wiggled, the case she was hiding in.
- 23:15 -- The first thing I'd do when my crew aren't where I expected them is pull a weapon.
- 28:00 -- A handy dandy handheld plot detector.
- 32:15 -- Nice loud boots, perfect for sneaking around.
- 35:30 -- The Thaan are technically under Commonwealth law, when it comes to Andromeda at least.
s02e04 - 2001-10-22 - Pitiless as the Sun ∞
We are not the masks we wear.
But if we don them, do we not become them?Keops Tsumai, "Fortunes" CY 9683
- 1:15 -- Being side-tracked for minor stuff really is a waste of time.
- 2:00 -- Damned straight.
- 2:30 -- Freaky Friday (1972), by Mary Rodgers
- 2:30 -- Of course, the opportunity would be to negotiate and not just bring the one side into the New Commonwealth, but the other as well.
- 3:30 -- And maybe experiment on her.
- 4:30 -- Aah, I remember this episode.
- 14:30 -- Was that fat-shaming or something? Because fatty fat fats would eat that much, and also be fat.
- 16:30 -- Housewife
- 16:45 -- Also, I know that actor.
- 20:30 -- Oh if that were true.
- 21:00 -- Why is she spinning now?
- 21:30 -- Crazy Ivan
- 23:00 -- Expansionistic? But they only care about Venus-like planets, so I guess technically people can co-exist with them.
- 24:30 -- I thought the crew were in on that.
- 25:30 -- "Upstairs" is a reference to god.
- 28:00 -- The corner of her lip is blackened. Is this continuity of something that I missed from earlier?
- 28:30 -- It doesn't make sense for them to be anything but curious about another of that enemy's race. Doing any of this is inviting another of them to one of your planets. Even tipping them off.
- 29:45 -- The corner of her lip is also blackened. Maybe this is a lighting thing. Damn I hope I stop seeing this.
- 31:00 -- Trance might be truthfully explaining a bit about her species.
- 32:00 -- Introduction of AG mass packet weaponry. They reduce maneuverability.
- 36:00 -- Galaxy
- 38:00 -- His prosthetic looks terrible now.
- 38:30 -- I'm confused about what they would be trading. An economy would require them to share some sort of common currency, which they don't, or to trade goods, which wasn't described.
- 40:00 -- Were I their government, all of that would be being recorded.
- 42:00 -- Inappropriate touching.
s02e05 - 2001-10-29 - Last Call at the Broken Hammer ∞
"Life? Life's pretty much a
knife-fight in a dirt-floored bar:
And if they get you down,

"Worlds governed by artificial intelligence
often learned a hard lesson:
Logic Doesn't Care."YIN-MAN WEI, "This Present Darkness:
A History of the Interregnum", CY 11956
- 4:00 -- 1950's fridge verses blasters.
- 6:30 -- I recognize that actor.
- 11:45 -- Thermocline layer.
- 12:30 -- Depth charge, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Salsa (sauce)
- 13:00 -- Why does she have to talk aloud?
- 14:45 -- They previously had EVA suits, which might be helpful for surfacing. Though there are presumably bad guys up there who could see them.
- The military picked up the hack a while ago, which is why they discovered the ship, went after it, and sank it.
- 21:00 -- Yes, the EVA suits. Called it. Though I probably just remember this episode..
-
26:00 -- Tyr's EVA suit has holes for his forearm spikes? Is that suit meant for space?
- 41:30 -- I thought he had handed out medals recently.. or was he just quipping about it.
s02e07 - 2001-11-12 - Una Salus Victus ∞
"Requested:
One Mark V ECM unit, 1000 km of
Fullerine Cable, one low-yield nuclear warhead.Purpose:
Surprise party for foreign dignitary."Argosy Special Operations
requisition form,
CY 9512
- 1:45 -- Ambushing with a grenade launcher seems excessive.
- 5:45 -- If they have sensors that can detect the enemy, then.. wouldn't the enemy have sensors? It's not like Dillan and Tyr have a ship in orbit doing assisted scanning that's being relayed to his wrist thingy. But the base is a base, and would have base-like things. Like a satellite.
- 6:00 -- Pixie dust etc was a reference to Peter Pan (1902 character) J. M. Barrie
- 6:45 -- "Una Salus Victus" (Latin), the unit motto of the Argosy Special Operations - "The one hope of the doomed".
- 9:00 -- "My momma told me there'd be days like this" is an old phrase whose source I didn't look very hard to find. It used to be a hopeful phrase, but Becca is using the new and presently-common more depressing usage, first popularized by Days Like This (1995 song), by Van Morrison.
- 10:30 -- Since AFC 291.
- 11:00 -- Presumably backup is already on the way, since automated defence systems trigger alarms when they are set off.
- 12:45 -- 500 km?! That's... got to be a large explosion radius to catch them.
-
16:30 -- "Well, we might let god sort them out, but someone told me he was dead."
- "Kill them all and let God sort them out." -- Arnaud Amalric
- "God is dead" -- Friedrich Nietzsche
- See also Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius.
-
20:15 -- "In fact, I feel like a big ol' of unluck that's just about to open up on someone."
- "Open up" is a phrased used many ways over the years. Can of worms, "open up a can of whoop ass", and "let slip" in The dogs of war (phrase).
- 22:15 -- "If the progenitor appears. It's been three thousand years and you people are still waiting for him." is a direct reference to Christianity "Second Coming" myth.
-
30:30 -- All actions are meaningless, an I don't mean that from some Buddhist perspective, but to say that there's nothing stopping the Nietzscheans from either following or going to that planet after that fleet is defenceless.
- If Andromeda faces them and is destroyed, they win.
- If Andromeda flees with them, they win.
- If Andromeda fights to protect them and is destroyed, they win.
- 33:00 -- Trance looks terrible with that hair.
- 35:30 -- If the ground missile batteries can destroy Nietzschean ships, then they could have been firing on the Andromeda.
- 36:45 -- Why wouldn't they just shoot them?
- 37:30 -- Shoot him.
- 37:45 -- SHOOT HIM!
- 42:00 -- Shoot him?

1:00 -- Wargames?
- 1:30 -- Yeah, wargames
- 1:30 -- Aquaman, Silver Surfer, Steak sauce
-
4:00 -- Knowing he'll be back, and knowing where and when, means you can give him what little support you can. He'll need it.
- I guess moral support helps.
- 8:00 -- What's with Trance's hair?
- 13:15 -- I wonder if, and how, Nietzschean culture could have survived.
- 14:00 -- No Nietzschean carries the genes for Astigmatism, Acromegaly, Atherosclerosis
-
15:30 -- Dictatorship, Democracy, Election
- 16:00 -- Electoral fraud
- 19:30 -- What Nietzscheans say that other story? If there is some sort of alternate colony of Nietzschean there, then was there a rift between those cultures that's been maintained all this time?
-
22:00 -- Well you can always have another election years from now.
- Oh, in a year.
- And now they'll block the Andromeda from leaving.
-
24:30 -- Faked attack.
- 25:45 -- This is Raday's way of taking over the ship?
- 28:15 -- Their harpoons have a 500,000 km length.
- 31:30 -- General seninax(?) refi(?) .. 6,000 years ago.
-
42:00 -- Yes, it's a small price. You did the wrong thing by doing the right thing, and in so doing you lost the long game.
With generations of knowing how dark the world outside is, why wouldn't they have an incredible home defence?
Perhaps they wouldn't have the knowledge or the resources. Perhaps very specialized equipment couldn't be made for the larger ships.
Still, with reasonable tech available at the time, and the resources of that system and anything else they might be able to sneak away with from other places, they'd have some horrifying stuff.

- 10:00 -- Curious how everyone knows about force lances. I guess that technology stuck around, but I've never seen anyone else use one. They do seem to be superior technology to all the traditional guns.
- 16:15 -- Why wouldn't they at least have some money, enough to cover those fees?
