Episode 4 – Lost Finale
by Brian on Aug.25, 2010, under Podcast Episodes
After six mind-bending seasons, Lost has ended. Was the finale a satisfactory ending to the series? We review and discuss the final episode, ask what other mysteries should have been explained, and rate how Lost now stands among other top scifi shows.
We also view the finale from a BSG fan‘s perspective: would harsh critics of the BSG finale regard this one differently? Some similar show elements and character arcs are also examined.
Don’t forget our Richard Hatch BSG Book Contest!

Episode 3 – Avatar
by Brian on May.28, 2010, under Podcast Episodes
We discuss the landmark sci-fi film Avatar! We assess the production design versus the perceived lack of story and dialogue. Was the movie Oscar worthy?
We consider the potential of the motion capture technology, and the possibility of 3D TVs in the home. And what of a sequel? We entertain some ideas about what the next movie may entail.

Episode 1 – This Season’s Sci-Fi TV Shows, Part 1
by Brian on Jan.28, 2010, under Podcast Episodes
In our premiere episode we review this season’s sci-fi TV shows. We take a long look at V and discuss what the remake did right–and wrong. Next we look at FlashForward and debate whether it has lost its appeal. We also examine Lost‘s own trajectory.
We also examine what defines “science fiction” and “drama.” Can a show set in space not be scifi?
Thanks to Skiznot for creating the music and theme for the Geek Quorum!
