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.
Simon and Eugene look at the Real Humans episode, Blind Love. They discuss legal statutes in alternative universe Sweden, constructive dismissal by Hubot, and whether the video site glimpsed in this episode is an alternate Swedish version of YouTube because they didn’t dare to google whether Bigtubes is a real site.Â
This week, Kenneth and Eugene look at Season 1, Episode 21 of Space Above and Beyond, entitled Sugar Dirt. They look at bad historical analogies, check in on this week’s contestant on Wheel of Court Martial and ask the question, “What has the 58th been eating for three months?”
Want to know what a proton storm is, or how big it is? You won’t find out by watching the Star Maidens episode The Proton Storm, but you might by listening to John and Eugene discuss the episode.
For the double the fun, they then turn their eye towards the episode Kidnap.
John (suspicious name) and Eugene discuss that most 80’s of 1980’s cult films: The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension.
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.
