NOTE: two editors notes were left in this episode. A YouTube viewer caught it and shared the timestamps with me. Two hours after release, we fixed and swapped the file, but your device may not have updated if it auto-downloaded on release.In 216 BC, at a place called Cannae, Rome lost 50,000 men in a single afternoon. Along with 80 senators, one of the two sitting consuls, both quaestors, and 29 military tribunes, all gone in the space of a few hours.Any monarchy in that position sues for peace. Any dictatorship reorganizes. Any modern government panics. Rome refused to even send an ambassador. They elected new magistrates, raised new legions (some made up of slaves offered their freedom), and the assemblies kept meeting. The tribunes kept using their veto. And the whole thing just kept running.That wasn't toughness. It was engineering. The Roman Republic wasn't a democracy — it was a machine specifically built to survive catastrophic failure at any single point. Two consuls with veto power over each other. Ten tribunes with veto power over almost anything. A Senate that couldn't legislate. Assemblies that could. Unwritten customs (mos maiorum) with more binding force than written law. Patron-client networks that ran in parallel to the formal state. Every layer had a backup. When one failed, three others held. That system ran for nearly 500 years.Then, over about a century, the layers weakened one at a time, not because the Romans got dumber, but because the pressures grew faster than the system could adapt.This is Episode 1 of "The Fall of the Roman Republic" series. It's the foundation you need before you can watch the machine break in every subsequent episode. If you don't understand how the intact system worked, none of the failures will land.CHAPTERS:00:00 The Battle of Cannae — Why Rome Didn't Collapse03:11 What the Roman Republic Actually Wasn't05:26 The Assemblies: Where Laws Actually Got Made08:44 The Senate's Real Power (It Wasn't Legislation)11:01 The Consuls: Engineered Against Kingship13:31 The Tribunes: The Sacrosanct Veto Weapon15:38 Cursus Honorum and Mos Maiorum: The Filters20:57 The Dictatorship: Rome's Kill Switch (Cincinnatus)23:04 Patron-Client Networks: The Invisible Layer25:51 The Three Pressures That Would Break Everything33:37 Setting Up Tiberius Gracchus (133 BC)SOURCESPolybius, Histories, Book 6, the ancient tutorial on the Roman "mixed constitution," the recovery from Cannae as proof the design workedLivy, Ab Urbe Condita, Varro's return to Rome after Cannae ("thanked because he had not despaired of the Republic"), the Cincinnatus storyPlutarch, Life of Tiberius Gracchus, the killing scene on the CapitolMary Beard, SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome, the res publica meaning, the tension between "public thing" and "everyone governs"Andrew Lintott, The Constitution of the Roman Republic, the definitive modern reference on institutional structureFergus Millar, The Crowd in Rome in the Late Republic, how the assemblies actually functionedTom Holland, Rubicon: The Last Years of the Roman Republic, the accessible narrative of the collapse this series will trace

But when Timon learns Alcibiades is planning to take over Athens, he gives him gold to support the campaign.

Timon leaves Athens with his curses, strips himself bare and goes into the wilderness. As hunger sets in, he digs for a root to eat and discovers a pile of gold hidden underground. Apemantus finds Timon lamenting his fate and scolds him for being an undeserving misanthrope, telling him to come back to Athens. Timon refuses, setting off an argument between them. Apemantus finally leaves Timon and returns to Athens, where the citizens are growing increasingly unruly over the high taxes and prices they're paying as Alcibiades launches his offensive against the city. When Apemantus announces that he's found Timon with a trove of coins, the Artist, the Painter and the Senators head for the hills to get some of Timon's gold.

Everyone who's anyone in Athens shows up to Timon's banquet, reveling in the excesses of his generosity and vying for favor in his esteem. The only unwelcome guest is Apemantus, a blunt and cynical philosopher who sees through all the false flattery and pretense of the crowd. By the end of the party, Timon's trusty servant, Flavius, begins to worry that he's overspending his resources.

Join us at the Institute for the Study of Feminine Myth--$10 "Thinker's Tavern" sessions on Thursdays in July!https://instituteforfemininemyth.org/thinkers-tavern This week's podcast is about Libitina, Roman goddess of funerals, corpses, and burials. We discuss the debated etymology of her name--is she connected to Venus and to voluptuous pleasure, or is that an error? Varro connects Libitina to "libido", and we also need to consider the ancient Etruscan goddess Alpanu, who is said to be Libitina's forerunner. What we may find is a different attitude toward the connection between life and death. 

En este episodio exclusivo, nos sumergimos en la historia de Joaquín Serrano y Jorge Velasco, los visionarios detrás de Varra y Varro, dos de los restaurantes más innovadores de Madrid.

Join us this week as we invite actor Jai Courtney (Suicide Squad) and director & writer Sean Bryne (The Loved Ones) onto The Filmmakers Podcast to chat about their latest feature film Dangerous Animals which is out in cinemas on the 6th June! Giles Alderson sits and has a great natter with Jai Courtney about acting on the sea, why he takes parts, filming in Australia, what he looks for in a director and shooting Dangerous Animals. Then he talks to director Sean Bryne about genre filmmaking, action, stunts. How he made his debut The Loved Ones. Issues on set and overcoming obstacles as an indie filmmaker and the importance of prep and storyboarding. Jai Courtney's breakthrough came with the role of Varro in the Starz historical drama series "Spartacus: Blood and Sand" and he quickly followed that up with roles in Tom Cruise's "Jack Reacher" and Jack McClane Jr., in "A Good Day to Die Hard" with Bruce Willis. He played Eric Coulter in the "Divergent" film series (2014-2016) and portrayed Kyle Reese in "Terminator Genisys" (2015), and in Stuart Gatt's Catching Dust. One of his most recognizable roles came in 2016 when he joined the DC Extended Universe as Captain Boomerang in David Ayer's "Suicide Squad," a role he reprised with critical acclaim in James Gunn's "The Suicide Squad" (2021). Sean Byrne first gained international acclaim with his 2009 debut feature, "The Loved Ones." The darkly comedic horror film captivated audiences and critics alike, winning the People's Choice Award in the Midnight Madness category at the Toronto International Film Festival. He followed up with "The Devil's Candy" in 2015, a heavy metal-infused horror film. DANGEROUS ANIMALS is in CINEMAS on the 6th JUNE!

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week's episode we embark on the final phase of our conquest of Sun Tzu's Taoist manual for never losing, The Art of War. In the free side of the show we discuss how terrain influenced the outcome of the Battle of Agincourt and how Roman general Varro would have been spared the vengeance of Hannibal had he abided by Sun Tzu's advice and kept his cool, costing 80,000 of his own troops their lives. Then we take a look at how US fighter pilot John Boyd utilized Sun Tzu's advice about the rapidity of war to construct a highly deadly theory of winning battles called the OODA loop which we explore in depth. In the extended show we begin by discussing how to influence your own troops under different conditions and why Sun Tzu says you should fire everybody when you take office. Finally we discuss the supreme art of lighting the enemy on fire and the proper use of spies which, amazingly, can be sorted into the five elements and used accordingly. Thank you and enjoy the show!

Interview mit Daniel Varro, Universitätsprofessor für Steuerrecht und nachhaltige Steuerpolitik.

As winter transitions into spring, the forest awakens, but an air of tension looms over its inhabitants. The human presence returns and a greater threat arises in Adanowa. After a brutal confrontation, the clan's leader Taron is mortally wounded, leaving his family to grapple with grief and a thirst for vengeance. Led by his strong sense of duty, Kabota joins Taron's sons, Erek and Varo, in confronting Adanowa, offering him a chance for peace rather than falling into the cycle of violence. This episode explores themes of loss, forgiveness, and the enduring legacy of a leader who sought harmony even in the face of unimaginable adversity. Send your encounter stories to brian@paranormalworldproductions.comLeave Us A Voicemail https://www.speakpipe.com/SasquatchOdysseyPodcastVisit Our Website https://paranormalworldproductions.comAll The Socials And Stuff/Contact Brian https://linktr.ee/ParanormalWorldProd... brian@paranormalworldproductions.com00:00 Spring Awakens the Forest 00:50 Adanowa's Threat Looms 01:27 Terran's Fateful Encounter 06:05 The Clan's Grief and Resolve 15:54 Erik and Varro's Vow 24:44 Kubota Joins the Mission 27:12 Confronting Adenoa 32:32 Adenoa's Choice 35:06 Signs of Change 37:28 A Path to Peace

In dieser Podcast-Episode spricht der Jurist und Universitätsprofessor Dr. Daniel Varro mit unserer Geschäftsführerin Elisabeth Sauritschnig über das Budgetdefizit in Österreich und ob die Einführung einer neuen Steuer dieses nachhaltig schließen könnte. Im Mittelpunkt des Gesprächs stehen die Auswirkungen von Steuern, insbesondere auf Eigentum. Unter dem Begriff, Eigentumssteuern werden alle vermögensbezogenen Steuern gefasst. Laut dem Experten hätte diese Steuer weitreichende Folgen für Klein- und Mittelbetriebe, aber auch für die einzelnen Bürgerinnen und Bürger. Vor allem die Innovationskraft und damit die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit sowie der Wohlstand Österreichs werden gefährdet. Varro betont, dass die Steuerpolitik Weichen stellen und damit das Verhalten der Gesellschaft beeinflussen kann. Weiters betont er die Bedeutung der Bildung als Schlüssel zur Lösung von Problemen wie dem Fachkräftemangel. Innovation und Wettbewerbsfähigkeit sieht er als zentrale Bausteine für die österreichische Wirtschaft.

Content warning for discussion of genocide Episode music can be found here: https://uppbeat.io/track/paulo-kalazzi/heros-time Day 4 will take a deep dive into the Punic Wars and the Sacking of Carthage. The Fall of Carthage is widely considered to be the first recorded genocide in history and we will be looking at the hows the why and the whos of it all. Episode Notes below: Hey, Hi, Hello, this is the History Wizard and welcome back for Day 4 of Have a Day w/ The History Wizard. Thank you to everyone who tuned in for Day 3 last week, and especially thank you to everyone who rated and/or reviewed the podcast. I hope you all learned something last week and I hope the same for this week. This week we're going to be going all the way back to the purported origins of my field of study. This week we're going to be discussing History's first genocide… probably. Remember that genocide require intent to destroy a specific group of people, and the destruction of Carthage during the Third Punic war is the first time in history that was can demonstrate that intent, at least so far. As always we are not going to be diving right into the event itself. All history exists within specific cultural, national, and ethnic contexts. Genocide moreso than any other type of event. No nation just wakes up one day and suddenly decides to go on a mass murder spree. So what caused Rome and Carthage, two states that had been allies and friends for hundreds of years to suddenly fight three wars against each other and ultimately, in the case of Rome, wipe Carthage off the map? Following the Pyrrhic War and throughout the middle of the 3rd century BCE Rome and Carthage because the two preeminent powers of the Mediterranean. During this time Carthage would come to dominate southern Spain, much of the coastal regions of North Africa, the Balearic Islands, Corsica, Sardinia, and the western half of Sicily, in a military and commercial empire. Whereas Rome had subjugated almost the entirety of the Italian peninsula and finally driven the last Greek colonies off of the mainland. In 265 BCE a group of Italian mercenaries called the Mamertines appealed to both Carthage and Rome for aid after they had seized the city of Messana on the island of Sicily (modern day Messina) from the Kingdom of Syracuse. Carthage immediately entered the war, but on the side of Hiero II the King of Syracuse. The Romans, as Romans are wont to do, debated for a while about this. They didn't really want to go to war to support people who had stolen a city from its rightful owner, and as Carthage had already entered on Syracuse's side, entering the war at the Mamertine's request could lead to a war with Carthage. However,  Appius Claudius Caudex filled his fellow senator heads, as well as the heads of the general assembly, with thoughts of booty and plunder. Many of the senators were already arguing that there was a strategic and monetary advantage to gaining a foothold on Sicily. The First Punic War officially began when the first Roman sandal made landfall in 264 BCE. By the way, in case you're wondering why it's called the Punic war, and not the Carthaginian War, Punicus was a term the Romans used to refer to the people of Carthage, hearkening back to their Phonecian origins. When the Romans landed Messana was under siege by the combined forces of the Carthaginians and the armies of Syracuse. Sources are unclear as to why, but first the Syracusans and then the Carthiginians withdrew from the siege. Rome's armies, under the command of Caudex marched south and put Syracuse under siege, but having only brought two legions with them they did not have the forces or supplies for a protracted siege.  Immediately this war was looking to be a bad idea for Rome, as Carthage had nearly overwhelming naval superiority at the beginning of the war. Indeed it is somewhat shocking, at face value, that Rome was able to win the First Punic War as the majority of the 23 year long war was fought on, or very near the water. To try and counter the Carthiginians naval prowess the Romans introduces a device called a corvus to their ships. The corvus was a 4 foot wide and 36 foot long bridge that was attached to the front mast of a Roman quinquereme. It has a large, hooked spike attached to the underside of the front of the bridge and was used to attach Roman ships to Carthiginian ones and allow for swift boarding of enemy vessels. While the corvus did have some measure of success it made Roman ships very front heavy, made them far less maneuverable, and in heavy seas were practically useless. Now, Sicily was a nightmare for an attacking force. Its hilly and remarkably rugged terrain made moving large bodies of troops very difficult. The ground of Sicily heavily favored the defender. In fact, in 23 years of fighting on the island, only two full scale pitched battles were fought.The Battle of Agrigentum in 262, which was a Roman victory, and the Battle of Panormus, which was also a Roman victory. Agrigentum was a particularly interesting case. Both Roman consuls at the time  Quintus Mamilius Vitulus and Lucius Postumius Megellus were in the field with 40,000 Roman soldiers.  A large army has an even larger stomach though, and the consuls had two major problems. First, because of Carthage's naval superiority it was exceedingly difficult to keep their forces supplied by sea. And to compound those issues, neither consul had experience moving around armies of this size. So after seizing Agrirentum, right around harvest season. The consuls dispersed their men to the fields in order to harvest as much food as the possible could. And, of course, that was the moment that Hannibal Grisco (a different Hannibal than the one famous for marching elephants over the Alps) attacked the Roman forces. Rome's forces would rally after this initial assault and rout the Carthiginian forces before besieging and capturing the city, selling 25,000 people into slavery. The war was less direct after Agrigentum for a few years. Rome made failed attempts in Corsica, Sardinia, and Northern Africa. For several years the war followed a pretty simple pattern. Rome was superior on land. Carthage was superior at sea, and sieges sucked for everyone. In 265 BCE Rome gained two new consuls Marcus Atilius Regulus and Lucius Manlius Vulso Longus. Both men, frustrated by the stalemate that was raging on Sicily decided to take the fight to Africa itself. After a series of relatively quick sieges of Aspis and Adys Rome had taken the city of Tunis, this put them only 10 miles away from Carthage itself. Carthage tried to sue for peace, but the terms that Regulus offered were so harsh that Carthage decided to fight on. Rome would actually suffer one of its largest defeats at Tunis, though it wouldn't come from a Carthiginian general. Rome lost to a Spartan mercenary commander Xanthippus. In 255 BC Xanthippus led an army of 12,000 infantry, 4,000 cavalry and 100 elephants against the Romans and defeated them at the Battle of Tunis. Rome would lose much of its fleet and tens of thousands of allied soldiers in various storms around the Mediterranean. There was even a time, following the Battle of Phintias, that it looked like things were finally turning around for Carthage. However, by 248 Carthage only had control over two cities on the island, Lilybaeum and Drepana and both nations' coffers were nearly emptied. Carthage tried to get a 2000 talent (approximately 52,000 kilograms of silver)  loan from Ptolemaic Egypt, but was denied. Rome turned to its wealthiest private citizens. Asking them each to build a single quinquereme and promising repayments from the reparations they would make Carthage pay after the war. It should also bear mentioning that Rome lost about 17% of its fighting age men over the course of this war.  The consuls who finished off the war were Gaius Lutatius Catulus and Quintus Valerius Falto (Rome elected new consuls yearly). These two consuls defeated the last of Carthages fleet in the Battle of Aegates Island. After this battle was finished Rome continued to put pressure on Lilybaeum and Drepana until Carthage decided to sue for peace. The Treaty of Lutatius was signed and brought the First Punic War to its end: Carthage evacuated Sicily, handed over all prisoners taken during the war, and paid an indemnity of 3,200 talents over ten years. This wouldn't end Carthages' woes though. In 237 BC Carthage prepared an expedition to recover the island of Sardinia, which had been lost to the rebels (mostly foreign soldiers they were unable to pay fully after the war) In a fit of cruelty, the Romans stated they considered this an act of war. Their peace terms were the ceding of Sardinia and Corsica and the payment of an additional 1,200-talent indemnity. Weakened by 30 years of war, Carthage agreed rather than enter into a conflict with Rome again; the additional payment and the renunciation of Sardinia and Corsica were added to the treaty as a codicil. The tensions caused by THIS particular bit of tomfuckery would be one of the major determining factors in the start of the Second Punic War. The mark that the First Punic War made on history cannot be understated. It was not only the longest Rman war to date, but it was the most devastating maritime war of the ancient world. Over the course of it Rome built over 1000 ships and would use the skills they learned and honed in this war to rule the seas, virtually uncontested for the next 600 years. Following the First Punic War Carthage turned its eyes to the North. They knew they would need to expand their power base and accrue a much greater store of wealth if they were ever going to stand on equal footing with Rome again. The Italian Peninsula and the surrounding island were off limits, so they turned to Iberia. They would meet Rome again in Iberia, but in 226 the two powers signed the Treaty of Ebro, fixing the River Ebro as the border between the two empires. It's likely that Rome had no intention of maintaining the terms of this treaty as some few years after they established an alliance with the city of Saguntum, a city which existed within the Carthiginian sphere of influence. Hannibal (yes, that one, with the Elephants) saw this as an act of aggression from Rome and besieged the city of Saguntum, eventually seizing it after 8 months of siege. Rome sent Quintus Fabius Maximus to the Carthage senate with peremptory demands. When these were rejected, as Rome knew they would be, war was declared in the spring of 218 BC. The Second Punic War would last for 17 years and would, again, end in victory for Rome. The war got off to somewhat of an odd start. Both Rome and Carthage planned to invade the other, but neither side seemed to really know what the others were doing or where they would be. It's likely, given the way the previous war had gone, that Rome expected a naval attack from Carthage, and so they remained in the south putting together their plan to invade Africa again. Hannibal though had a different plan. He intended to swing up through Iberia, starting in modern Cartagena, cross the Alps, which he did in 15 days, and sweep down on Rome from the North. He successfully crossed the Alps with 20,000 infantry, 6,000 cavalry, and an unknown number of elephants (he'd left Iberia with 37 of them, but it's unclear how many survived the crossing.) Hannibal then proceeded to dog walk the Roman army around Italy for the next two years. The only challenge he really faced was from Quintus Fabius Maximus, nicknamed Cuncator (the Delayer) by his contemporaries for his adoption of the Fabian Strategy. Well, his creation really. The strategy is named after him. The Fabian strategy employs hit and run tactics and seeks to avoid pitched battle. Fabian hoped to use this harrying tactic to enter into a battle of attrition, hoping that Hannibal would run out of supplies and be forced to leave or surrender. In 216 Rome elected two new consuls Gaius Terentius Varro, who advocated pursuing a more aggressive war strategy, and Lucius Aemilius Paullus, who advocated a strategy somewhere between Fabius's and that suggested by Varro. The Senate also authorized the raising of a double sized army, some 86,000 men. The largest Roman army in history at that point. Varro and Paullus lost most of their army in Rome's greatest military disaster, the Battle of Cannae. Some 67,500 Roman troops died in this one battle. This was almost the end for Rome. They almost lost the whole war in that one Battle. Hannibal was supported by Gaulish and Spanish mercenaries, he was up against military incompetents, and he was about to be joined by the King of Macedonia as an ally. In 215 Phillip V launched the First Macedonian War. It was time for Rome to bring back the one man who had stood a chance against Hannibal. It was time to bring back Fabius. Fabius became consul again in 215 BC and was re-elected in 214 BC. Rome, now more desperate than they'd been in a long time also drastically reduced its standards for soldiers. Enrolling slaves, criminals and those who did not meet the usual property qualification. By early 215 BC they were fielding at least 12 legions; by 214 BC 18; and by 213 BC 22. By 212 BC the full complement of the legions deployed would have been in excess of 100,000 men, plus, as always, a similar number of allied troops. The majority were deployed in southern Italy in field armies of approximately 20,000 men each. This was insufficient to challenge Hannibal's army in open battle, but sufficient to force him to concentrate his forces and to hamper his movements. For 11 years after the Battle of Cannae, the war was raged across Southern Italy in a constant give and take as Carthage captured Roman cities, only for them to be recaptured. The fighting in Italy was fierce and seemed to be going mostly in Hannibal's favor, but Italy was not the only theatre of this war. The Iberian Theatre could best be described a a holding action for the first several years. As Rome sought to hold Carthiginian forces in Iberia and prevent them from reinforcing Hannibal by crossing the alps again (although Hannibal's brother Hasdrupal was able to cross the Alps with 35,000 additional troops).  Scipio Africanus was ultimately successful in Iberia, clearing it of Carthiginian control. He almost lost control of the region when the Iberian leaders sought to fight against the Romans who they had just fought with against the armies of Carthage. They'd expected Rome to leave after defeating Carthage here, but Rome wouldn't give up land it held and sent Claudius Nero over to stabilize the situation. This left Iberia under Roman control and Italy fighting for its life against Hannibal and Hasdrubal. In a move of some desperation and no little boldness Rome decided to finally launch its invasion of Africa in 204 BCE led by the famed Scipio Africanus, and after defeating Carthage in two major battles, Carthage elected to sue for peace and recall Hannibal and his brothers from Italy.  Rome and Carthage entered into peace negotiations. The Roman Senate ratified a draft treaty, but because of mistrust and a surge in confidence when Hannibal arrived from Italy, Carthage decided to take one last stab at achieving victory. Thus did the Battle of Zarna begin. Hannibal tried to use a charge of 80 elephants to break Rome's lines, but Rome was able to turn the charge back and the elephants wound up devastating their own forces. The new peace treaty dictated by Rome stripped Carthage of all of its overseas territories and some of its African ones. An indemnity of 10,000 talents of silver was to be paid over 50 years and hostages were taken. Carthage was forbidden to possess war elephants and its fleet was restricted to ten warships. It was prohibited from waging war outside Africa and in Africa only with Rome's permission. And so there would be peace for 50 years. Sort of, but not really. Carthage finished paying off their indemnity in 151, 50 years after the end of the Second Punic War and was, once again, economically prosperous. They were, really, no military threat to Rome anymore, but many Roman senators refused to believe that. Most famous of which was the senator Marcus Porcius Cato, also known as Cato the Censor. Cato had been part of an assembly sent to Carthage in around 153 BCE and notes how wealthy and prosperous it seemed. He was famous for ending all of his speeches before the senate with the phrase Ceterum (autem) censeo Carthaginem esse delendam ("Furthermore, I consider that Carthage must be destroyed"), which is often shortened to merely Carthago delenda est (Carthage must fall). In 149 BCE Rome sent its armies to Carthage, under the pretext of a punitive expedition because Carthage was allegedly engaging in illicit military operations. The Third Punic War, which lasted for a mere three years, really only had the one major engagement. That being the Siege of Carthage, which would eventually be led by Scipio Aemilianus, the adoptive grandson of Scipio Africanus. Initially Carthage tried to surrender and, indeed, surrendered all of their weapons. But Rome would not be swayed by this. They wanted Carthage destroyed, and ultimately it would be. The early years of the siege saw little success. Carthage was a hard city to besiege, and it still had some allies in the region. So in addition to contending with the city itself, Roman forces needed to be on guard for allied towns and cities who would try to come to Carthage's aid. After 3 years though it would end in a single week of some of the most horrific slaughter of the ancient world. In Spring of 146 Scipio launched a full scale adult on the harbor area and successfully breached the walls of Carthage. Over six days, the Romans systematically worked their way through the residential part of the city, killing everyone they encountered and setting the buildings behind them on fire. The city was razed to the ground, over 700,000 people were killed, including women and children, and some 50,000 survivors were sold into slavery. The next part of the story that you might know, if you know this story at all, is that Scipio then proceeded to salt the earth around Carthage so that nothing would ever grow there again. This story is almost certainly apocryphal. Which is fancy historian speak for “full of shit”. There are no ancient sources for this event. The salting story entered the academic literature in Bertrand Hallward's article in the first edition of the Cambridge Ancient History (1930), and was widely accepted as factual. What IS factual though is that Rome committed genocide in sacking Carthage. There was a clear and deliberate plan to destroy every single vestige of the people of Carthage, either through mass slaughter or slavery. There was clear intent to destroy planned and carried out by the duly elected leader of Rome and its armies. It literally doesn't get any more clear than this. Intent was vocally demonstrated by Cato and physically carried out by Scipio. That's it for this week my friend. Thank you for coming with me on this educational foray into the past.

We continue this two-part arc was Destiny arrives at Novus - the planet where their alternate timeline counterparts founded a new civilisation 2,000 years ago. I love this episode. In the present, we get to see our heroes digging through the ruins of their descendant's civilisation like archeologists, and in the past, we watch as our heroes slowly form a new society. It's all good stuff. So let's dig in to Stargate Universe "Epilogue". ----more---- Transcript Welcome to Nerd Heaven I'm Adam David Collings, the author of Jewel of The Stars And I am a Nerd. This is episode 89 of the podcast Today, we're talking about  the Stargate Universe episode “Epilogue”   And if you'd like to check out my original science fiction books, head on over to AdamDavidCollings.com/books   The description on Gateworld reads While attempting to return a group of colonists to their home, the crew finds records of their own alternate lives -- and a planet on the verge of seismic destruction.   This episode was written by Carl Binder It was directed by Alex Chapple And it first aired on the 25th of April 2011   We open with a very elderly Colonel Young in his deathbed. Chloe sits by his side, and his grown son Steve approaches.   Then we cut to present day. The shuttle is landing in a big city square, which features a statue of Young.   It's so ominous seeing this very familiar modern-day type city covered in ice and ash. Completely deserted.   They've found an underground bunker. It's possible somebody might have survived down there. But how do they get in? They gonna try using Destiny's weapon on low power. It works. They gain entrance and even find that there's still working power in the facility.   It's nice to know that bad elevator music is a constant throughout the entire universe. Although, to be honest, lifts don't tend to play music here in Australia. I'm not sure I can think of one time I've been in one where it's happened. But I get the concept.   Anyway, it's a mildly amusing moment.   In the bunker, they find an archive. The entire history of the Novan civilisation. Eli hopes they'll find answers to exactly what happened.   What they find is kind of remarkable. A 2,000 year old recording of the first moment the twin-destiny crew arrived through the gate and found that they weren't on Earth. It looks like they're surrounded by a sand storm. Not a very hospitable place.   Imagine having something like this. A video record of the exact moment that your civilisation began. The moment your ancestors first walked on the surface of your planet. It's like finding footage of their equivalents of Adam and Eve.   But while Eli is geeking out over the history, Rush is more concerned over life-support supplies, like more Lime. They haven't found any of that yet, but there are a lot of food supplies. Canned goods. That is huge. I can't overstate how important and useful this is. Imagine going two years with nothing to eat but alien vegetables that taste so bad it almost makes you vomit. And then you find a supermarket. This will greatly improve their chances of surviving, but also be a massive boost to morale.   Turns out, the planet they first appeared on wasn't Novus. But there were several gates in range. They explored and one of the worlds they found was Novus. The green trees and blue sky would certainly be a welcome sight after the caves where they sought refuge from the sandstorm.   When Park remarks on how they documented everything, Yaozu says “It is easier to know where you are going when you know where you have been. Eli Wallace.”   And I just love that. Any time Eli gets credit and appreciation for his space vlogging is gonna get a big thumbs up from me.   It took me a moment to realise why Yaozu was being a little weird around Brody. I was thinking maybe he thought it insensitive that they wanted to upload the data without acknowledging the pain of the Novans losing their world. And then the episode reminded me that Brody was the founder of the opposing nation.   And again, Valko is still giving him a hard time about the name Futura. Give it up Volker. We get it. You think the name is stupid. Shut up and move on!   I love how Chloe has found a bunch of science and maths textbooks all written by Eli. Of all the scientific minds on that ship, he, more than anyone else, would be the one to want to preserve that knowledge for the next generation. Rush, would see the value, of course, but to actually sit down and explain science in a way that kids could understand? No, he wouldn't do that.   But she's also found her own diary. That's gotta be weird   In the next flashback, we see the beginnings of Brody's dissatisfaction with everyone. He's specifically angry at Eli. It was Eli's calculations that got them stuck on this planet. The fact that he agreed with Eli's calculations seems to be irrelevant to him. But that's fine. This is an emotional reaction, not a rational one. And that's completely believable given their situation.   Meanwhile, Scott has found some nasty animal life, so they're gonna need walls around their city. It's like they're playing a real-life game of Civilisation.   I love watching this episode. I love fantasising about being one of them, settling a new world. Building a new civilisation. In reality, it would suck, of course. But fantasies are not meant to be realistic. I'm not saying the portrayal of the show isn't realistic. Just my desire to be among them, and conveniently ignore the harsh realities.   I'd actually watch an entire show about this. The people who have to build a new life on an alien world. But then, I kind of have seen that show already. It's called Terra Nova. And rather than an alien planet, it was the distant past, with dinosaurs. It only ran for one season, despite its popularity, because it was expensive to produce. It was shot here in Australia. But if you haven't seen it, I would highly recommend Terra Nova. Seriously, check it out. I may even cover it on the podcast someday.   6 weeks in, they have their first death. It's Volker. Probably his kidneys, but without any medical equipment, she can't be sure. And that's one of the big harsh realities. It might be fun to plan out where in the forest you're gonna found your city, but having to go back to the stone age, medically speaking, that's horrific.   Volker is there looking over Chloe's shoulder as she reads about his funeral. How weird would that be? He looks pretty confronted by it. It's not his future, of course, but it's a sobering reminder that he has a medical condition that is difficult to manage so far from Earth.   Young, of course, is beating himself up over this. TJ tries to encourage him. And that's when they finally allow their prior feelings to come back out again. They'll be trapped on this planet for the rest of their lives. He's divorced from his wife now. So there seems little reason for them not to pursue it all.   Keep in mind, Varro is on the planet with them. I wonder how he's going to react to TJ choosing Young over him.   They've got a shuttle-load of supplies they're sending up to the ship. It's funny. As horrible as all this was for the crew in the previous timeline, the whole twin destiny thing has been pretty good for the crew in our timeline. This is the second time we've managed to benefit heavily from supplies left by that crew. First Destiny itself, and now all this stuff left behind by their ancestors.   Eli has figured out what happened to the people. Many of them escaped through the stargate before it was buried in lava by a volcano, but those that remained needed another way off. Both countries realised they stood a better chance working together, so they built huge ships together. But they weren't capable of FTL.   They set off for one of the planets they'd previously sent expeditions to. Destiny could get there in a few days but it'll be a 200-year journey for the Novans. I guess they figured out cryogenic stasis. So that's good news. There are survivors. They didn't all completely die out.   Back in the past, Scott finally works up the guts to talk to Lieutenant James about their past, and how he used her up and threw her away. The reason - he's getting married to Chloe. James, for her part, is surprisingly forgiving. I guess she moved on a long time ago. Anyway, nice to see these two finally put it all to rest.  But I wish, instead of just saying “Y'know, we never talker” he could have said, “I'm sorry.”    Anyway, during the ceremony, Varro gives James a look. So I think she'll be okay.   A lot of this history is about people hooking up. But that kind of makes sense. They're a community of people living on a planet now. They kinda need to perpetuate the species if they're going to survive. So marriage and children is an important part of Novus's history.   Eli actually remarks on this in one of his kino vlogs. Every else is getting together. Except him.   Chloe is pregnant. Scott is building them a house. They have a bit of a township going on now. They have what look like stables.   I laughed at the montage of various children being born. Rapidly cutting from one screaming face to another. Chloe, TJ, James, and Park are all now mothers. The tribe is growing. Park is with Greer, obviously.   Eli is truly happy for all of them. But still feeling very lonely and left out. And then Corporal Barnes sits next to him. Cut to Barnes giving birth to their first child. The editing of this section of the episode gives us some great comedic storytelling.   But the best bit is when we see Eli and Chloe watching this vlog together. And Chloe says “Something worth pursuing.”   Barnes is a character that is sometimes around, but we really don't know much, if anything, about her.   The one person who hasn't hooked up is Camille. Not because she can't find anyone, but because she already found her soul mate, back on Earth.   Park has discovered that the black hole theory is right. The planet will soon be torn apart. They may have to leave before they've got all the data uploaded.   They've found one of those ships that the Novans built. It's still in the factory on the planet. It never left. That's convenient. If it's operational, it could take the entire group of descendants.   TJ has made a disturbing discovery. Her counterpart developed a disease she was pretty sure was ALS. I always thought ALS was just what Americans called MS, but according to Google they're two similar but different conditions. Which is interesting, because I don't think I've ever heard Americans talk about MS, and you never hear about ALS here in Australia. Either way, it's a pretty horrible thing. And it's really scary for TJ. It means she will develop a deliberating disease in her future. It could be a few years away. It's not something you contract. She's carrying it in her right now. And there's no cure. And that really sucks   I actually lost an aunty to MS. It's a horrible thing. As interesting as it is for them to see what their other versions of them got up to, it can be kind of disturbing. In some ways, you're better off not knowing.   TJ has about 5 years before she'll start displaying symptoms. She'll die a few years after that. Volker is looking in the ship's database to see if the ancients had anything in there about this, or similar conditions.   The scenes of Young nursing and caring for his wife to her eventual death are heartbreaking. But then there's some good news. The Novans had a cure for ALS and many other diseased. Developed over 200 years ago. It's in the archive.   But some bad news, the spaceship factory is now a river of lava. So everyone is gonna have to cam back onto Destiny. How long will the air filtration system hold out?   Rush has found something interesting. Some kind of foam. He's keeping pretty quiet about what it is, but he certainly seems to think it's important.   Back in the past, while most of the crew are enjoying being grandparents, Camille is drafting a constitution. Their fledgling township is becoming a nation.    And Brody is turning into a grumpy old man. He hasn't broken away and founded Futura yet, but he's cranky and doesn't appreciate the kids running on his lawn.   For various technobabble reasons they can't search the database until it's finished uploading, or they stop the transfer. They've uploaded a third of the data so far. They might have it, they might not.   But they're gonna have to leave soon.   The bunker is falling apart around them. The ladder is coming apart as they climb it. Varro helps TJ but falls in the process. They have to pull him up. Fortunately, he's alive.   On his deathbed, Young apologises that he never got them home. Chloe tells him what is obvious at this point. They are home.   Rush finally reveals that the special foam he found is for C02 scrubbing. Their problems have been solved. Much more effective than lime. It'll last for years. Volker has an interesting remark for Rush. It burns you up that we did okay without you. He's probably right. They'll be dropping off their descendants on a nearby planet shortly.   Eli hasn't found the ALS cure in the data they were able to upload. Nothing in Destiny's database either. It's hard because different cultures have different names for diseases, but it doesn't look good.   Still, this is sci-fi. There's lots of other medical knowledge they can learn from. They can figure out a cure. That's what Eli believes.   I love how Eli's grandson has named the school after him. Eli is gone now, but one crew member remains alive. Camille.   The makeup job making her look really old is pretty great. I was quite moved listening to her speak to the descendants of her friends. Seeing how proud she was of the civilisation they'd created.   The final shot of the townscape changing over the centuries is a fitting end to the episode.   I really enjoy this one. I think it might actually be my favourite episode of season 2. Joseph Malozzi mentioned in his blog that this episode actually would have made a great finale for the show, and I agree, but at the time, they planned Gauntlet as a season finale, not a series finale.   Two left to go. It's time to see how our heroes will deal with those drones.   I'll see you next time for Blockade.   Have a great two weeks Live long and prosper.   Make it so

In a slightly more standalone episode of Stargate Universe, we go hunting for an alien creature that has taken two Destiny crewmembers. Varro and his Lucian Alliance people want to join, as they have much more experience with this, but can they be trusted? And what's going on with Greer? ----more---- Transcript Welcome to Nerd Heaven I'm Adam David Collings, the author of Jewel of The Stars And I am a Nerd. This is episode 87 of the podcast Today, we're talking about  the Stargate Universe episode “The Hunt”   And if you'd like to check out my original science fiction books, head on over to AdamDavidCollings.com/books   The description on Gateworld reads “The crew organise a desperate rescue mission after a predatory creature attacks an offworld team and takes two people captive.”   This episode was written by Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mullie It was directed by Andy Mikita And it first aired on the 3rd of May 2012.   We're on an alien planet. One of those nicely forested Canada planets we visited so often in SG-1. They spot animals that they refer to as space deer. Greer points out they'll look ever better roasting on a spit. Park is shocked. “You're kidding, right?” she says with a look of amazement on her face. Greer gives an amusing response. “Well, how would you cook them?” Turns out Park is a vegetarian. Nothing wrong with that, at all. But I'm a little surprised at her shock.   They're on a spaceship, stranded far from Earth. No way to get supplies. They've been scrounging for anything they can find to eat on planets they visit, that might have nutritional value to keep them alive. And Park is shocked that a non vegetarian would consider eating these animals? Her surprise shocks me. Most of what they've eaten in the last two seasons has been extremely unpalatable vegetables. They probably haven't had access to much protein. It makes sense.   Park does raise a legitimate point. What if these creatures are intelligent? I was actually thinking about that myself before she said it. You better make sure they're not sapient beings. Exactly how you do that is up for discussion. But you can get a pretty decent level of accuracy just by observing their behaviour. As Scott says, he saw one of them eat their own vomit. Not proof, by any means, but certainly one piece of evidence.   They look pretty cool up close. The CGI is a little dated by today's standards, but still very artistic, and certainly a lot more than they could have done in the early days of SG-1.   But before Greer can make the shot, the animals run away, spooked by something. That's when they hear the roar. They're not on another T-Rex planet, are they?   Something jumps out and attacks them. We see the encounter from the point of view of the creature. Then we cut to credits. When we come back out, we're looking at Kino footage, which still seems to be shot from the creature's point of view, which is really weird and hard to explain.   There's a trope often used in horror or sci-fi and fantasy. It's the idea of ‘hide the monster'. And it can work sometimes. But I think I've said before, that this annoys and frustrates me in situations where the characters can see the creature, but it's artificially hidden from us, the audience. That REALLY bugs me.   Plenty of the away team have been injured from the attack, and two are missing =- TJ and Reynolds. Scott wants to go down and find them, but Young is going himself, and leaving Scott in charge on Destiny., Young is a little concerned that Greer hesitated when he had the animal in his sights. He didn't take the shot. If it's just a moment of indecision, then that happens. It's cool. But if there is a bigger problem, Greer needs to figure out what it is and fix it. Greer gives a very compliant “Yes, sir.”   Eli and Brody are exploring new parts of the ship. Rush wants them to take a cautious approach. Not looking inside boxes. Fair enough, I guess. But at some point, somebody needs to look in the box or you'll never know what's inside.   Brody thinks that Eli is afraid of Rush. Eli denies it, but when they reach Rush, he goes all quiet and awkward.   And after last week's episode, this feels wrong. Eli is really upset with Rush right now. When we last saw him, he'd just sacrifice Ginn to save Rush's life. Eli stood up to Rush and spoke in a very affirmative and almost aggressive way. At this point, I think Eli is done being intimidated by Rush, and has had enough of his crap.   Anyway, they find a room filled with slots in the wall. They look kind of like Borg regeneration alcoves. Eli calls them stasis pods. It makes sense that a long-range ship like Destiny would have them, but they're empty. And there's a lot of them.   Rush wants to check the computers for information before spending any time studying these pods. He wants to move on, to Eli's dismay.   Rush is basically cataloguing. Exploring the ship, see what you find, note it, and move on. Come back later to do detailed examinations of the things you noted. And that's a valid way to explore. Possibly even a wise way. It keeps you on task, without getting distracted by each new shiny thing.   But when you find something significant like this, it's hard to just walk away. And it seems that Rush's approach and attitude is being significantly influenced by the recent tragedy. He jumped in head first because he wanted to be with Perry, and got trapped in the computer.   Greer is letting his guilt over not firing cause him to make poor and rash decisions. Yes, they need to hurry, but as Young points out, they need to hurry in the right direction. There's no point running ahead if you're going the wrong way.   Young is concerned that Greer hasn't had enough time to recuperate after his surgery. It seems in the last few episodes, we've really been delving into Greer's flaws.   Varro wants to volunteer to help with the rescue. The Lucian Alliance people have been hunting most of their lives. They could do this more efficiently and effectively than Young and his team. Scott agrees and sends them down.   Volker goes to the sick bay to see how Park is doing. The other patient, a loud-mouthed guy, is being really self-absorbed. Volker admits that he's here to express concern for both of them, but Park clearly has more of his attention right now. And loud-mouth doesn't help matters with his attitude. I wonder, does Volker have some feelings for Park? It's entirely possible that this is just concern driven by friendship and working closely together, of course. That's completely normal and appropriate. But stories have a tendency to focus more on romantic feelings, so I'm just wondering. We've seen Park and Greer have a physical relationship in the past. Is it still going on? I'm not sure.   TJ and Reynolds are still alive. They're in a cave. The fact that they're still alive is a good sign, but not as good as Reynolds is hoping. The creature is saving them for later. To eat. But that, at least, buys them time to be rescued.   Once Rush is out of the way, Eli decides to hell with what Rush thinks. He's gonna go look at the stasis pods. Brody decides to go with him. When TJ looks out of the cave mouth to see where they are, we get our first real glimpse of the monster. We don't see it fully, just a quick shot. We see a tail and the back end of  a large muscled body. And that's fine. I'm cool with that. That's enough. Just show us little half glimpses at the start and fully reveal the monster at the end. I'm fine with that. But we should have seen this glimpse, at least, at the beginning.   So Chloe comes to see how Volker is doing. She tries, subtly at first, to suggest maybe he should tell Park how he feels about her. When that doesn't work, because subtly rarely works on us blokes, she asks outright. “Does she know how you feel?”   Volker denies anything beyond friendship between them, but his awkwardness pretty much confirms that feeling that he does have. And has no idea what to do with it. He's a nerd like me. I totally get it.   Eli is really starting to vent about his issues with Rush now. This is what I was talking about at the beginning of the episode. These are the feelings I'm expecting him to have. He's tired of Rush taking charge of everything and cutting the others out of decisions and even knowledge.   Rush WAS lead scientist on Icarus, but this is personal. This is about what Eli had to do to save Rush. This is about Rush keeping the bridge secret for so long.   He confirms that he doesn't want to be head scientist, but he does want more of a say. And that's when Brody accidentally gets locked into one of the stasis pods. As Eli tries to free him, he activates the pod, putting Body into cryogenic suspension. That's not good. But Eli doesn't know is that Rush already knows they're there. He was watching. And he's the one who activated the pod. He's screwing with them.   Varro learned to hunt as a child. But he also learned to respect nature. Those two things seem to go together. But Greer sees nothing to respect in this creature. He calls it a monster. Varro points out that animals don't know hate, only fear and hunger. Which is true. So what exactly is a monster? Really, that's just a word we use to demonise a creature. And I can totally understand doing that. If an animal killed someone I love, I'd totally demonise it. I'd be filled with hate for this creature, which had acted out of fear and hunger.   Anyway, the creature ambushes them. It's a pretty frantic scene. Several of them were badly injured. Varro has determined this creature is very intelligent. It's been hunting them while they've been hunting it.   And Greer is still acting rashly. He is really not himself.   James has noticed that Greer is freezing under pressure. It happens to people, but not to Greer. He shares that he thinks he died. He woke up after the surgery and there was nothing. Couldn't see, couldn't hear. For the first time, he's experiencing fear.   James thinks it was just Greer's brain waking from the heavy sedation a little ahead of his body. Greer thinks it was something darker. Death. Maybe hell.   Young can't go on, because of his injuries. He'll only slow them down. He knows this. Varro knows he knows this. He doesn't want to give up on his people, but he's a CO. He knows the right call here. So he chooses to trust Varro.   Interesting that young doesn't say “Bring them back.” He says “bring her back.” Despite everything, Young still has very close personal feelings for TJ. He had pushed those feelings aside, refusing to acknowledge them, out of respect for his wife (although that doesn't make up for his past unfaithfulness), but she still obviously means a great deal to him. More than just one of his crew. I do wonder, if now that his wife has asked him for a divorce, whether he is reconsidering the possibility of something happening with TJ. But she seemed to be tired of being toyed with, and with all she's gone through this season, it's hardly the time to try to start something.   Volker comes in to see PArk again. She asks him if he was watching her sleep. His response is so awkward that I think his feelings are probably pretty obvious to Park now. Rush has some work for Park. She's going crazy just laying there.   Rush has noticed Volker's interest in Park. But he believes nothing could ever happen with them. Not because she's so attractive, and he's not, but because Volker isn't the romantic type. He's the good friend type. And that's just life. We all have our pre-destined roles (which does not actually sound like Rush at all). Volker is destined to live the single life and pursue science. I think he might be using a little reverse psychology here. See, Rush does sometimes like to help others, but he does it in a very Rush way.   Varro has set a trap for the creature, which they know is stalking them as much as they're stalking it. This is when Greer decides to speak up with what's on his mind. Greer has never liked any of the Lucian Alliance. Varro has been one of the good ones for quite a while, but not good enough for Greer. He doesn't trust Varro, and he's concerned about what may be starting to happen between him and TJ.   Varro doesn't deny it, he simply says “why don't we let her decide that.”   When the creature attacks, Greer is still not thinking well. He yells out “I'm right here.” He's being driven by all sorts of emotion.   They blow up the creature. They can now hike to the lair without further threat. And that's when two of the hunters get taken by creatures. There are more of them. The way this is done is pretty good. You see them just kind of disappear into the brushes, really quickly, like they've been snatched by something.   Why didn't they use that effect at the start of the episode, instead of the monster-POV allowing the characters to get a good look at the monster, while hiding it from us. The effect used here would have been much better. It's creepy. It's very effective. IT evokes fear, not only of the power of this creature, but of its unknown nature.   Reynolds is pretty scared. The creature is too strong to kill. And he can't stand the thought of being eaten alive. When the time comes, if he doesn't have the guts to do it himself, he asks TJ to kill him.   TJ has some harsh words for him, which he seems to take onboard. She managed to make radio contact with Varro and Greer. That could greatly improve their odds of rescuing them. With nobody else to turn to, Eli asks Chloe to help with Brody. He can't tell Rush. He wants to solve this without Rush. Chloe may still have some residual alien knowledge. That might be helpful.   They've found the lair, but Varro is hesitant to go with Greer. He doesn't think Greer is up for it. He's no coward, but he's second-guessing himself, and they don't have time for him to work through whatever issues he's working through. Varro has a point. But Greer will never accept that because he doesn't trust Varro.   So Varro has little choice but to go along with Greer's plan.   We get a really good look at the creature when it enters the lair. I think this is one of the babies. Anyway, it looks good. I like it.   When Greer arrives, TJ tells him not to shoot. She thinks the creature is recognising intelligence in TJ for using the fire.   Greer has the shot. He second-guessed himself last time, and now he's being told not to shoot. This is not going to be helpful with the things he's trying to work through.   TJ and Reynoldfsd leave the lair. The creature allows them. Greer bets that the creature is smart enough to know he can kill it, but is choosing not to. It's a bet he's making with his life.   The bet pays off. All three of them are able to leave unharmed, without harming the creature.   I have to wonder, just how intelligent is this thing? Is it a sapient being like us? There is no sign of civilisation. It lives like an animal. Hunting prey. It doesn't build anything. No evidence that it has tried to develop technology. But then, it doesn't have the tools in its body like we do.   It's a good reminder that intelligent alien life won't necessarily look like us. Which is actually the caution that Park raised at the start of the episode.   So Rush finally lets Brodgy out of the stasis pod. Seems this was more than just him playing a joke on Eli and Brody. He was testing the pod to see how it worked, and has evidently decided they shouldn't use them.   So…he's conducted human experimentation without the consent of knowledge of his test subject.   That's a new low for Rush, I think.   And nobody will ever know because it'll all be blamed on a mistake by Eli. But in the end, Rush has achieved what he wanted with those two. They are now much more cautious, which is what he wanted them to be.   Greer has put in a good word for Varro, who is now a free man, allowed to roam the ship again. That's the thing about Greer, he's not one to trust, but if you prove yourself to him, he'll back you up.   A romantic moment was about to happen between Varro and TJ, and it was very much mutual. But they're interrupted by somebody at the door. It's Young, inviting Varro to lend his expertise to tonight's dinner.   After Young leaves, TJ looks really troubled, emotionally. I'm not quite sure what's going through her head. Is she torn between Varro and Young? Or is it just about Varro, wondering if she should pursue him or not. I'm really not sure. So Volker has finally worked up the courage to tell Park how he feels. He walks into the sick bay, flower in hand, and he sees Greer there with her, practically lying on top of her. It seems there is still very much something going on between those two.   He walks sadly away. He can't compete with a strong, brave tough guy like Greer. I really feel for Volker. I know how he's feeling in that moment. I've been there. It's the feeling of ‘how could anyone possibly love me? I'm just a nerd. I'm nothing. No one could ever want me.' I remember feeling those things deeply.   And yet, by some miracle, it worked out for me. I'm married to a wonderful woman and we love each other deeply.   There is always hope.   Of course, the odds are much harder for someone like Volker, on a spaceship with a very small sample of human beings.   The episode ends with the crew enjoying some tasty alien venison at Becker's Barbecue.  Airman Becker, being the ship's official chef.   I really enjoyed this episode. It's mostly a standalone, after a whole lot of episodes that have followed directly one from another, but it still has a lot of connective tissue. But the standalone elements were very entertaining.   Next time, we'll look at the first of two episodes that delve into what happened when the alternate timeline crew went through that wormhole in Twin Destinies.   I'll see you then for Common Descent.   Only 4 more episodes left of Stargate Universe. We better enjoy every minute of it, because it'll be over before we know it.   Have a great two weeks Live long and prosper Make it so  

Fabius the Delayer may have saved Minucius from disaster at Geronium, but he would not always be there to protect his impetuous colleagues from rushing into trouble. Following Fabius's relinquishment of the dictatorship, one of the newly-elected consuls, Gaius Terentius Varro, accused Fabius and the patricians of intentionally prolonging the war. Instead of continuing to follow Fabius's delaying tactics, Varro urged the Romans to immediately engage Hannibal to obtain decisive victory. Despite the protests of his fellow consul, Lucius Aemilius Paullus, Varro's counsel won out. The Senate raised four new legions in addition to the four which typically served. Fielding the greatest army she had ever raised - 87,000 men total - Rome challenged Hannibal for the third time at the small Apulian town of Cannae.
