Kev and Rob agree the "log cabin timeline" is a nicer place to live than the rest of the Strange New Worlds season three finale, "New Life and New Civilizations" (SNW). On the bright side, perhaps it will be the last time that "pure evil" is used as a plot device for awhile. We can only hope. Taking this last opportunity, they revisit other examples of evil in its purest form: "Skin of Evil" (TNG) and "The Most Toys" (TNG).SNW 3×10 New Life and New CivilizationsKatraMind meldStar Trek VI: The Undiscovered CountryVinaTNG 5×25 The Inner LightPhil BoyceTNG 1×23 Skin of EvilDenise Crosby waves goodbye in “Symbiosis”TNG 3×15 Yesterday's EnterpriseSelaArmusLeland T.

That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Author James Bell joins a long list of vintage sci-fi authors we know nothing about.

However Cattywampus is in the dictionary. From the May 1960 issue of If Worlds of Science Fiction on page 37, Thirty Degrees Cattywonkus by James Bell…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A man flees his tedious modern life by traveling back to the age of dinosaurs, convinced he'll find freedom in prehistoric adventure.

Months ago, Tod saw, and recommended Companion (2025), the Jack Quaid, Sophie Thatcher dark comedy that Google lists as as a “Horror, Thriller, Science Fiction, Romance.” On Rotten Tomatoes it comes in at 93%. On IMDB. It's a 6.9. Recently, Dave stumbled upon it and suggested Barry watch as well. To say “opinions vary” on this one is kind of an understatement. Apparently a lot of it comes down to the expectations you go in with … like if you've never read the introductory blurb, or seen the trailer, you might be surprised by something other than what the studio intended. Maybe you should also just watch. There's also the usual round of Random Topics and the debut of a new segment called Back in Time. Thanks for listening!

Our #IndieSummer journey comes to an end this week, but it's not a finish line that awaits us, this is just the beginning. Today Indie author powerhouse Craig Martelle joins us to talk about building a plan to launch your work into the world and to see the success that book deserves. Craig is a million-selling author of science fiction (post-apocalyptic, military sci-fi, and space opera), thrillers, and non-fiction. Craig retired from the Marine Corps after a long career in the military intelligence community, having worked with most of the U.S. Government's three-letter agencies. After a short stint with physical security, Craig went to law school, graduated summa cum laude, and went into business consulting. From intelligence, to the inner workings of company board rooms, to on-the-ground leadership, Craig has seen it firsthand. His books are an extension of his experience, putting the trials and tribulations of a fast-paced world into your hands. Whether in Science Fiction, Thrillers, Fantasy, or even his Non-Fiction, you'll find consistent themes of justice and doing right by those who are counting on their leaders. Leadership is a service, not a crown to lord over others. No matter where Craig went, he always had a book with him. Thanks to 21st Century technology, He now has thousands of books at his fingertips and with him wherever he goes. How many books would he have read on deployments had he not had to carry a physical book? No one is encumbered like that now. Craig loves the works of Robert Heinlein, Anne McCaffrey, Andre Norton, JRR Tolkien, Robert E. Howard, and so many more. He has been compared to Andre Norton and that is humbling - she was an incredible author with a huge list of novels to her credit. With every new book, Craig aspires to live up to those that you, the readers, have compared him to. Through a bizarre series of events, Craig ended up in Fairbanks, Alaska. He never expected to retire to a place where golf courses are only open for four months out of the year. But that's the way it is. It is off the beaten path. He and his wife get to watch the northern lights from their driveway. Their dog has lots of room to run, just until temperatures reach fifty below zero. They have from three and a half hours of daylight in the winter to twenty-four hours in the summer. It's all part of the give and take of life. If they didn't have those extremes, then everyone would live in the sub-arctic.
In the Star Trek: Voyager episode The Void, Voyager gets pulled into a dark, starless region of space—no exits, no resources, and no friendly neighbors.

Kim Stanley Robinson is the author of 22 novels of speculative and science fiction. The Ministry for the Future is set in the near future in which the world is suffering the disastrous consequences of climate change. But it also details the steps humanity takes to mitigate them. It is ultimately an optimistic story about technological and political innovation. The Ministry for the Future reaffirms Robinson's unique ability to weave science and storytelling into a compelling tool, offering thought-provoking solutions that often get lost amidst the highly polarized debate about how to best tackle this life-threatening problem. This interview was moderated by Wouter van Noort and recorded at The Duif in Amsterdam on November 8, 2023. Co-speakers: Lisa Doeland and prof. Dr. Heleen de Conink.Click here to read more on how to support the John Adams Institute. Support the show
Long before Star Trek props toured conventions and museums, one historic copy of the pilot episode its way into the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum with help from Leonard Nimoy and Gene Roddenberry. This week, The Trek Files welcomes Glen Swanson, former NASA historian and author of Inspired Enterprise, to share the remarkable story of Star Trek's first contact with one of America's most iconic institutions. From a 1967 inquiry to Leonard Nimoy, to Gene's formal letter offering his 16mm color print of Where No Man Has Gone Before for the Smithsonian's collection, these early documents chart Star Trek's leap from TV series to cultural touchstone. We'll explore rare correspondence, photos of Gene at the museum, and even a telegram from 1968—just as Star Trek was renewed for its third season—that shows how the Smithsonian connection helped boost Trek's profile in a critical moment.

Paul Cornell (Doctor Who, Elementary) and Lizbeth Myles (Big Finish, Verity!), discuss the Science Fiction and Fantasy television made in the UK every year from 1953 to the present day. In this episode, we discuss episodes from both A For Andromeda and The Avengers, both of which premiered in 1961.
Saluton! This week, Emily and V look at the life of one of fandom's under-appreciated heroes: Morojo, AKA Myrtle Rebecca Smith Gray Nolan (née Douglas), the Mother of Cosplay. From her genuine belief in the ability of humankind to be good, like in her favorite scifi stories, to her BANGIN' sewing ability and sweet-ass silk rompersuits, Morojo deserves to be way more well-known in fannish spaces. (And for more than being some dude's girlfriend.) Join us as we celebrate the legacy of one of fandom's founding women. Also: apologies for the unplanned hiatus, this episode was technically VERY messed up and V had to watch so many YouTube tutorials to learn how to salvage it.

Alibi Jones' escape plan “distraction” has ripped the city of Kismet apart! Alibi thought firing off the engines of the former space platform underlying the city for a moment would create a little “earthquake”. He didn't plan on citywide destruction, on losing control as the engines continued to fire, on the over-firing engines finally ripping up through the city to soar into the sky and disappear into Transpace… Having survived Alibi's “distraction”, can he, Katie Ramsey, and the Dakhur Kit, finally escape Kismet?

A video shown on Capitol Hill on September 9 reportedly shows an American hellfire missile attacking and simply bouncing off a UAP (the military term for a UFO). When videos like this come out, speculation about aliens often follows. But our obsession with aliens isn't new—and it didn't begin with 1950s alien invasion movies like “The Day The Earth Stood Still,” or even with Orson Welles' “War of the Worlds” mock news bulletins of the 1930s.As science reporter Becky Ferreira writes in her upcoming book, First Contact: The Story Of Our Obsession With Aliens, humans have been fascinated with the potential for alien life for about as long we've been around. She joins Host Ira Flatow to discuss how our views of beings from other worlds changed throughout the millennia, and where we're at now with scientific exploration of life beyond Earth.Plus, science journalist Umair Irfan joins Ira to share other stories from the week in science, including what's going on in a decision-making brain, the trouble with vector-borne illnesses, and the unusual tale of an ant queen that breeds ants of another species.Read an excerpt of First Contact: The Story Of Our Obsession With Aliens.Guests:Becky Ferreira is a science reporter at 404 Media and author of First Contact: The Story Of Our Obsession With Aliens.Umair Irfan is a senior correspondent at Vox, based in Washington, D.C.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode Prophecy, after decades adrift in the Delta Quadrant, a Klingon generation ship crosses paths with Voyager and finds what they've been looking for: a prophesied savior. Or rather, the unborn child of B'Elanna and Tom. Cue the ceremonial declarations, theological debates, and one very reluctant bat'leth duel. But when the Doctor uncovers a life-threatening illness among the Klingons, prophecy gives way to science, and that same baby might still be the key to salvation.
