Episode 358 Andromeda S01E01 Under the Night

Join Dave and Wayne for genre television show news, a glimpse into what the hosts are currently watching, commentary and analysis for the Andromeda pilot episode, and our listener feedback.  This week on SciFi TV Rewatch we finally break down the pilot episode of Andromeda, examine the captain of the Andromeda Ascendant, and make comparisons to other science fiction shows set in space at the turn of the 21st century. Once Dylan Hunt learns that he’s been in stasis for over 300 years and now must come to terms with the fact that the Systems Commonwealth has fallen, the series’ basic premise becomes clear. In our What We're Watching segment, Dave talks about season one of the Italian Netflix crime drama The Trial and Duran Duran bassist John Taylor’s weekly YouTube bass tutorials. Wayne revisits three films by the Coen brothers including A Serious Man. In Listener Feedback, Fred from the Netherlands does his best to find redeeming qualities in Andromeda and addresses the previous week’s top ten list of Canadian genre actors.
