Host Derek Coward has a hard time sleeping so he gets up early one morning and talks about his definition of scifi vs science fiction and its place in naming the show, how the future of hard science fiction sneaks up on all of us, his one time appreciation for Michael Crichton and why it stopped, why he won’t talk about horror, zombie stuff or fantasy on the show, how Anne McCaffrey screwed him up, Lost, independent film productions on the web, what he has been watching, the kind of shows he doesn’t like, why he will be using trope as opposed to convention, how he would attack the Earth (specifically the USA) using an alien armada and gives some quick thoughts on Farscape Seasons 2 and 3 before going over some show feedback.

Host Derek Coward talks about how age is approached in science fiction and includes Logan’s Run and the Star Trek franchise in his talk.
BTW: There is a remake for Logan’s Run in the works. They have lowered the age to 21. To me, this is ridiculous beyond normal bounds. At least by 29, there is the ability to accumulate knowledge and pass it on. I am of the opinion, this cannot be done by the age of 21. But then again, no one asked me my opinion.
However, here’s Farrah in Logan’s Run.
