Topics: Boston Legal, Jericho, Dollhouse, Sanctuary, X-Files, Fanboys, Galactica 1980

Thank you for taking time to spend with us. This is show number 27 and you’re in for quite a ride. The powers at the top of the Blabbermouth Media food chain have decided that our show needs to be adjusted a bit for the second quarter of 2008. They’ve determined that our broad analysis of Speculative Fiction is ultimately going nowhere and that we should pick a new topic. They left it completely up to me and the first thing that popped into my head was Boston Legal so here we go. Just to be perfectly clear, we’re not going to be talking about news that involves Jericho’s fight to survive, Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse casting, Amanda Tapping’s Sanctuary, X-Files, or Fanboys. We’ve also been instructed not to talk about our SciFi Sixteen tournament, and I am never supposed to give my thoughts on Galactica 1980. With that said, happy Aprils Fools. Let’s get our geek on!

Thank you for taking time to spend with us. This is show number 26 and we’re going to cover a number of topics. We’ll run down the Hugo nominations, speculate on a Buffy spin-off, talk about the Get Smart movie trailer, as well as a long list of things. The big issue today is drinks and drunks in Speculative fiction and we will get to that in just a bit.

Welcome to show number 25. Thanks for taking time to listen to us. Casey is sick as a targ, so Dan and I are taking over the controls for this very abbreviated episode of SciFi Surplus. SciFi Channel announced it’s new shows this week, and Bionic Woman is officially done. But before we get started, Casey wanted me to make certain that I mention that we’re doing two shows a week now. This one, classic SciFi Surplus, and our spinoff, The Council of Great Relevance. Well, look at the time, this show can’t be abbreviated if we don’t get started, let’s get our geek on.

Topics: Harry Potter, Superman, Arthur C. Clarke, DVD Menus, Boston Legal, Starbucks Coffee

Thank YOU for taking time to spend with us. This is show number 23 and geeky goodness is full swing.

Harry Potter movies are in the news along with Superman Returns Again. We’ve got the list of Aurthur C. Clark novel finalists as well as a couple movie remakes that may bring joy or fear depending on who you are. I’m going to give you a more complete rundown of which television shows are or are NOT going to back in the fall. Vince and I also are going to have something of an experimental conversation that will begin with Spoilers in DVD menus and will somehow make it’s way to coffee in the space program. You’ll have to stick around to find out how we get from one to the other.

Interview: Christiana Ellis (Space Casey). Topics: Smallville, Supernatural, Star Trek, Jericho, American Film Institute, “Old Man’s War,” John Scalzi

Thank you for taking time to listen to us. This is show number 22 and it’s a doosie.

We’ve got a special guest today and one of the funnest people I’ve ever had the opportunity to talk with. Christiana Ellis is the driving force behind the audio comedy-drama Space Casey as well as a number of other podcasts and podcast novels. In the news is Smallville and Supernatural, Star Trek and Blu-Ray, plus Jericho and ratings. We’re going to talk about a controversy involving the American Film Institute’s list of the top 50 Science Fiction movies of all time. I’m also going to tell you why I think Old Man’s War by John Scalzi would make an excellent feature film.
