Vera Wylde and Jessie Gender venture out on the Battlestar Galactica and take in the entire voyage one episode at a time. Miniseries Part 2 - The fleeing civilians reach the Galactica as the starship restocks its munitions to get back into the fight. Can President Roslin and Commander Adama agree on a course of action? Can the Galactica stand and fight against a Cylon fleet, and if not can it get away? And what the hell is going on with Baltar? Let's find out!
This week, Kate brings more reminisces from Marjorie Clarke who grew up in Haliburton village in the 1890's and early 1900's. Today it's all about Marjorie's memories of what do you do with cows wandering the streets, especially when every household tended to have a cow on their small property? Plus Paul has the story of Lorne Green, a Canadian radio personality, actor, musician and singer. Lorne became a well-known face and name, especially in North America, for his many roles including as Ben Cartwright in the long-running tv western series Bonanza and as Commander Adama in the cult sci-fi series Battlestar Galactica. Kate Butler is the Director of the Haliburton Highlands Museum. Paul Vorvis is the host of the Your Haliburton Morning Show 7 - 9 a.m. Fridays on Canoe FM 100.9 and streaming on your devices. Haliburton County is in cottage country about 2 1/2 hours north of Toronto. You can contact us at timewarp@canoefm.com
Things are heating up as Laura and Xhafer finish Part 2 of the Battlestar Galactica miniseries. Laura asks more questions Xhafer can't answer and stans a queen. Xhafer laments Starbuck's haircut and ponders the infinity of bullets. Join us as we do the mental math and marvel at the futility of fractions with large denominators and an unknown number of Cylons in the numerator. Let's hope Commander Adama can save the human race through the power of speeches and fairy tales. SO SAY WE ALL.
In this episode we jump back to Battlestar Galactica to discuss the drama filled 2 part episode "Home". The fleet has split up due to Rosalin's decision to go to Kobal in search of the Tomb of Athena. Meanwhile, Commander Adama has a tough decision to make, continue on without her or reunite the fleet. There is a lot to unpack here and we go into some of our signature deep dive moments!
When Commander Adama gets pissed at the President, their game of civilization chicken spurs a mutiny in the fleet. But while Starbuck's side quest reveals exactly who is pregnant, the rest of season one's interesting questions remain mostly unanswered. What type of fuel do Raptors use? When should you throw away a toaster? Who had the weirdest day? It's the episode that‘s a little too incurious.Support the production of Greatest TrekGet a thing at podshop.biz!Sign up for our mailing list!Greatest Trek is produced by Wynde PriddySocial media is managed by Rob Adler and Bill TilleyMusic by Adam RaguseaFriends of DeSoto for: Labor | Democracy | JusticeDiscuss the show using the hashtag #GreatestTrek and find us on social media:YouTube | Facebook | X | Instagram | TikTok | Mastodon | Bluesky | ThreadsAnd check out these online communities run by FODs: Reddit | USS Hood Discord | Facebook group | Wikia | FriendsOfDeSoto.social
There are those who believe that podcasts here began out there, far across the universe, with tribes ofneckbeard film fans who may have been the forefathers of the movie review podcast. Some believe that there may yet be brothers of man who even now podcast to survive, somewhere beyond Apocalypse Video… I'm your host, Dave, and joining me as we try our best to hide some contraband booze from security is my faithful companion and trusted advisor, “Nick” Immortan Hoof. Topics of discussion in this episode include the noticeable downshift in quality as the show loses its TV movie prestige and enters its “just TV” phase; Commander Adama makes some creepy passes at his soon to be daughter in law; and finally, we laugh at Baltar's false sense of superiority and his insatiable desire to splay while in his high chair.

When the fleet catches a Leoben on the Gemenon Traveler, Starbuck gets assigned to interrogate him with an extremely specific bucket. But after President Roslin wakes up wet from one too many NyQil dreams, she hears Leoben out before returning to Commander Adama's position. What doesn't belong on a postage stamp? Where did H.R. Giger get all his ideas? Who definitely deserves a swirly?

When Starbuck goes down hard in Juarez, the Adamas risk everything on the search and rescue mission. But when she finds the Cylon raider that shot her down and hot wires it back to Galactica, Commander Adama extends the last cigar in the universe and welcomes her back into the family. How much air do you want in a spacesuit? Is there something off about Caprican Pop Tarts? Who is also named Boxey?

When a recon drone Cliffhangers its way into Flattop's face, there's suddenly a deficit of Viper pilots aboard Audrey II. But after Starbuck tosses out a whole ten-piece order of nuggets, Commander Adama advises a different order. Do all Italian eateries have a secret bunker? What side of Boomer's face is the mole actually on? Should Ben keep or close the gap?

When Boomer wakes up wet and doesn't know why, there's no Croatian fisherman to help get her bearings. But when Commander Adama invites the President to witness an act of sabotage on Galactica, the internal investigation points to at least one Cylon aboard. Would Egghead Software still be in business if they had a better return policy? Is there a wrong way to win a poker game? What does the Audrey 2 not have?

Send us a Text Message.For this show, we venture into the fascinating intersection of mythology and science fiction through the lens of Battlestar Galactica. From the original 1970s series to the 2000s reboot, we uncover how certain pagan and celestial references are ingeniously woven into the storyline with names like Pegasus, Commander Adama, and Lieutenant Athena aren't just characters—they're symbols of a grander narrative that tie the drama into the premises of the ancient astronaut theory.We also focus on Caprica, the prequel series that adds further depth to this rich universe and also on how the human survivors of a millennia-long war with the Cylons seek out the elusive 13th Colony, which is here on planet Earth. You'll find intriguing connections to the Hebrew Bible's creation story and the reptilian attributes of the Cylons. Mormon cosmology is also significant, particularly the parallels between planet names of Kolob and Kobol, showcasing creator Glenn Larson's intent to infuse the narrative with elements of Mormonism.As we round out our discussion, the thematic richness comes to light with love, betrayal, vengeance, and theology and forms a complex web that mirrors real-world advancements in AI. We delve into the series' depiction of the android robot Cylons integrating into their society, drawing parallels to actual automation, and show how there are religious undertones to it, such as creation and resurrection. The story reminds of the poignancy to what the late astrophysicist Carl Sagan had once said about us being made of "star stuff" and helps us ponder the possibility of our origins from the out there in the cosmos.

When the Colonial Fleet hasn't slept for days, they probably should have started handing out stims sooner. But when the Olympic Carrier gets left behind and then shows back up looking a little too inconclusive, Commander Adama's resting suspicion face makes him ready to blow up the damn ship. What kind of child is Number Six proposing? Does Galactica belong off-Broadway? How can you ruin a glimmer of hope? It's the episode that wants to rent out its happy place.Support the production of Greatest TrekGet a thing at podshop.biz!Sign up for our mailing list!Greatest Trek is produced by Wynde PriddySocial media is managed by Rob Adler and Bill TilleyMusic by Adam RaguseaFriends of DeSoto for: Labor | Democracy | JusticeDiscuss the show using the hashtag #GreatestTrek and find us on social media:YouTube | Facebook | X | Instagram | TikTok | Mastodon | Bluesky | ThreadsAnd check out these online communities run by FODs: Reddit | USS Hood Discord | Facebook group | Wikia | FriendsOfDeSoto.social
When Galactica is trapped in a Paulson-style nebula, they make a scary as hell jump to get ammunition for the war. But when President Rosalind suggests running instead of fighting the Cylons, Commander Adama is convinced that hope will save what's left of humanity. Which actor gives two characters for the price of one? What's the most likely name for a robot child? Who is more Larkin than Larkin himself?

When it's time to make a museum out of the Battlestar Galactica, the ship's decommissioning ceremony turns into an even busier day for Commander Adama. But when the Cylons magically split the trolly and send it down both tracks, President Rosalind enters into a power struggle with the new leader of the Colonial fleet.

Roots 1977- Shot of espresso is freshly downed, cracks knuckles, let's go. Today your decade under the influence crew takes on the mini series Roots, which came into our living rooms for 8 nights starting on jan 23 1977. I remember watching at least some of this with my parents and four sisters at the young age of 6, so I think it was probably mandatory family viewing, in mine and in most cool family homes. It is a lil interesting to think how everyone read about this in their TV guides or in the newspapers, and adjusted their schedules to make eight nights of this, and get the complete story. I'm sure they talked about on the tv too, but this was of course before video stores or streaming so you really had to make n effort to plop down and absorb all that was put into bringing Alex Haley's huge best selling story of his family history of surviving the slave trade. A massively important thing for America to look at and talk about, so I'm very glad it was taken so seriously by all involved. So much acting talent in here, and of course it all starts with chief engineer Geordie La Forge. This is LeVar Burton's first acting gig right outta college, way before he got us all pumped about reading, or flew starships, he left such an impression in his portrayal of Kunte Kinte, that we all forget he is only in the first 2 episodes. Also starring in Roots we have Mary Tyler Moore's boss Lou Grant as the reluctant slave boat owner. Ed Asner if were gettin technical. We have the mean baseball coach from bad news bears who died on the set of the movie the twilight zone, the guy from the rifleman, the guy from midnight express, the rad guy from iron eagle, the amazing Madge Sinclair, Olivia Cole, the kick ass Ben Vereen as chicken George (Fosse hands), and Commander Adama himself, to name just a few. Shit, don't forget John Amos as older Kunta, also Mr. flipping Brady plays a real asshole in this. Many of these amazing actors lend their talents to play some of the worst people on the planet. It really is a magnificent mini series with amazing music by Quincy Jones in the first episode, annnnnnnnnnnnnnd then the music does take a bit of a dive. There a few things that do remind us that this is a 70's made for TV movie. As progressive and amazing it is, and the fact that they got it made and had amerika look it's past right in the eye, and get a black eye back when they weren't even teaching our racist true beginnings in the history books at school yet. It is still not 100 percent free of issues. One such thing is the recap narrator talking about the triumph of the American spirit n shit, but don't worry cause we talk all about it, and seriously folks, as much as it is not, we would like this to be a conversion that continues, so. Thank you for listening, and if you like or don't like what you hear, or if we missed something cool, or whatever, please write on the socials and let us know.
In what we believe was a midseason finale (why is that even a thing??) we encounter yet another 2-part episode. So we of course recorded both back to back and absolutely nothing went wrong. Why would you even say that? In part 1, we discuss our favorite - and least favorite - Muppets, Lee's big speech, Commander Adama's wise choice to always listen to women, and where exactly a Centurion's ammo supply comes from. Andrea again asks the question - why is there a wizard in the quorum of 12??? Don't forget to check out the https://teespring.com/stores/night-shift-radio (Night Shift Radio merch store), where you can get your very own Cap'n Adama's "Oops All Meat" shirt!
Tensions are high this week. Commander Adama's condition is critical. Crashdown still can't make the right calls. The president needs her medicine. Tigh can't understand why everyone isn't in the brig. Meanwhile, the SC1 crew muses about Dutch angles, and what exactly Centurions talk about amonst themselves - we think it's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yN2H3--1aw (footy).
Commander Adama's been acting a little odd lately, and President Roslin is concerned that Leoben's warning might have held some truth. Just when Colonel Tigh seems to be getting his life in order, a destructive influence returns. Can she be trusted? Can anyone be trusted? If anyone could be a Cylon, could everyone be a Cylon? What would a Bear McCreary arrangement of the McDonalds jingle sound like? We ask all the hard-hitting questions.
Humanity is on the run - Galactica's munitions are restocked, but the fleet is outnumbered. What's worse - the Cylons look like us now! How many are walking among the colonists now? What is their plan? After narrowly escaping Ragnar Anchorage, Commander Adama drops a bombshell of his own - but can it really be true, or is it just too good? Join us, listener, and find out!

In this episode we take a look at Battlestar Galactica's short lived offspring, Galactica 1980. Along the way we discover some confusing rules on invisibility, wish we had Commander Adama's anti-aging cream, and wonder if social services needs to step in and free Dr. Zee. Intro and outro music by Stu Phillips.
Episode 4 brings us our first cliffhanger – what will become of Starbuck and how guilty will Commander Adama feel about it. We zoom through this one because it's over before it even begins.

Take a trip out to space with us as we discuss the Battlestar Galactica pilot movie, at least the first two-thirds of it. Baltar betrays the humans and helps the Cylon robots attempt to wipe out humanity. But, thanks to Commander Adama, some people and a few ships survive. After their planets are destroyed, this rag-tag fleet of space ships heads out to find the mythical planet Earth. First they need fuel, build a robot dog for some kid, and gamble on a casino planet. Listen and it will all make sense. Maybe.

Reporterin Biers deckt die Umstände des Gideon Massakers auf und lässt die Regierung und das Militär entsprechend schlecht dastehen. Das missfällt natürlich Präsidentin Roslin und Commander Adama und so geben sie Biers die Chance, als embedded Journalist das Leben und Wirken an Bord der Galactica zu begleiten, in der Hoffnung ein besseres Bild der Soldaten zeigen zu können...
In "Resistance" geht es um Widerstand sowohl auf Caprica, als auch auf der Galactica. Während Starbuck und Helo auf einen Widerstandstrupp unter der Führung von Samuel Anders treffen, zergleitet Colonel Tigh sein Kommando nach und nach zwischen den Fingern, bis Laura Roslin mit Hilfe verschiedener Crewmitglieder schließlich fliehen kann. Zuletzt wird schließlich die gefangene Boomer ermordet und Commander Adama erwacht wieder.
Die Flotte erreicht die legendäre Welt "Kobol" (Engl. Folgentitel: "Kobol's Last Gleaming"). Zumindest glaubt die Präsidentin fest daran und schickt Starbuck hinter dem Rücken von Commander Adama auf eine Geheimmission, während Kobol selbst von Zylonen belagert wird. Im Staffelende laufen die Handlungsstränge der ersten Staffel zusammen und führen - natürlich zu mehr als einem großen Cliffhanger...
Die Folge "Zeichen der Reue" (engl. "Act of Contrition") an sich hatte leider sehr wenig Inhalt, um darüber zu reden. Daher trifteten wir immer mal wieder ab. Während alle auf der Galactica sich gut gelaunt auf eine Feier zur tausendsten Landung von "Flat Top" vorbereiten, kommt es nach der Landung zur Katastrophe bei der 13 Piloten sterben. Starbuck soll nun neue Piloten ausbilden, streubt sich aber, weil sie sich verantwortlich fühlt für den Tod von Apollos Bruder Zak. Commander Adama findet es schließlich heraus, ist enttäuscht von Starbuck und befiehlt ihr, die Ausbildung fortzusetzen. Bei der nächsten Übung greifen Zylonenjäger an. Starbuck kann die Rekruten retten, stürzt jedoch mit ihrem Jäger auf einen Planeten und muss mit den Rettungsfalschirm aussteigen.
