Each week, we look at one episode of a classic (or not-so-classic) science fiction TV series and discuss it. Come join the conversation.
This week, Simon and Eugene look at Season one, Episode six of Real Humans: Sly Leo. They discuss the current draw of parallel universe USB-A, the paradox of tolerance applied to free will for Hubots, translating smutty Hubot magazines, and downloading sex drives.
…and, of course, sex with robots.
This week, Kenneth and Eugene look at the Space: Above and Beyond episode “Stardust” in which they consider the deeply offensive use of Native Americans in television and this episode in particular, consider, once again, the absolutely illogical incompetence of the Earth Forces’ military strategies, and talk about the episode’s pretentious yet somehow still inadequate history lessons.
This week John and Eugene look at two episode of the Star Maidens.
They discuss the episodes Nemesis and the Nightmare Cannon, and contemplate if the Medusans are supposed to be so smart, how come they cannot read a room? And they marvel at lightning done on a really small budget.
On this week’s episode, Simon and Eugene examine season one, episode five of Real Humans, Power at Heart.
They discuss coincidences in the number of Hubot sex clubs in this Swedish city, computers programming computers, robots watching soap operas, and actually, finally, seeing some sex with robots.
This week, Kenneth and Eugene look at Episode 19 of Space Above and Beyond, R&R, where they ask, “Will people know Clint Eastwood in the year 2064?” “Do they save sex-ed class for the end of invitro school?” and “What power does W.C. Fields have over Colonel McQueen?”
Also, this week, exclusively for our patrons on Patreon, there will be two bonus minutes of totally unrelated conversation!
This week, John and Eugene begin looking at a new series: Star Maidens, a 1976 TV series co-produced by the United Kingdom and West Germany.
It’s a contemporary (for 1976) look at female equality through the lens of a planet run by women.
This week, Simon and Eugene look at season one, episode four of Real Humans: Semi-human rights.
They discuss non-human rights within the Swedish legal system, whether the uncanny valley is legally mandated, and whether HuBots are capable of actually lying or just crafty deception.
Oh, and maybe they also mention sex with robots.
John and Eugene look at the third “Shin” reimaging movie of classic Japanese science fiction/fantasy properties. This week, it’s 2023’s Shin Kamen Rider.
How well does a movie about human-grasshopper cyborg translate to the big screen?
This week, Fusion Patrol examines the 18th episode of Space Above and Beyond, entitled “Pearly,” where Kenneth and Eugene finally find out why Wang wasn’t court-martialed at the end of Episode 9, why the space jarheads are too stupid to realize that the Chigs talk, and when discretion is the better part of valor when discussing guest actors’ other roles.
This week, Fusion Patrol looks at the two-part Quark episode “All the Emperor’s Quasi-Norms.” John and Eugene ask if American television in the 1970s was ready for full-frontal pollination, why Jean didn’t get equal time with Gene, and if Ficus is the most alien character ever committed to the small screen.
