Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek III: The Search for Spock are built around one key piece of technology which may or may not have real world implications.“KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!”Admiral James Tiberius Kirk, 2285There are countless reasons why fans love Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Up until that point, it was the most action-packed installment of Star Trek ever put on screen, so that certainly has something to do with it. William Shatner delivers an all-time great career performance in this one as Admiral James T. Kirk, full of downright Shakespearean drama with his old enemy, the diabolical Khan Noonien Singh. It's got at least one of the most memorable, shocking, and poignant moments in franchise history. Or maybe it's just Ricardo Montalban's magnificent chest. Who's to say?But possibly lost amidst all that magnificence is the fact that The Wrath of Khan is built around a truly great piece of science fiction with the Genesis Device. A project designed to help Starfleet terraform barren worlds is also potentially the ultimate weapon in the galaxy, given that in creating new life it first has to wipe out anything else that's there. Of course the wrong people want to get their grubby mitts on it!In this episode we're diving into just what it would take to truly terraform an alien world, and whether the Genesis Device follows its own rules in the Star Trek universe. Check out the latest episode of Does it Fly? right here…SUGGESTED VIEWING Star Trek II: The Wrath of KhanYou mean to tell us you're watching or listening to a Roddenberry podcast and you somehow haven't seen Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan? We sure hope you watched it before this episode spoiled the absolute hell out of it for you! But in all seriousness, there's a reason this is the most critically acclaimed and beloved Star Trek movie of all time and why we chose it for this week's topic. Star Trek III: The Search for SpockBut also, you can't watch The Wrath of Khan (or get a full picture of the scope of the Genesis Device's implications) without also watching Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. Forget that even number/odd number nonsense about the Star Trek movies, this one is just as essential!Star Trek: The Original Series Season 1 Episode 22 “Space Seed”And just in case you've never done this, we also highly recommend “Space Seed” which first introduced Ricardo Montalban as Khan Noonien Singh. It doesn't have anything to do with terraforming in space, but it's a classic bit of Star Trek lore, nonetheless!The Evolution of Planet EarthWant a real life taste of what the Genesis Device does…except over the course of millions/billions of years instead of minutes/hours? This video is pretty cool.FURTHER READING Do you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode? Of course you do! TerraformingWhile still primarily a science fiction concept, the idea of using terraforming to make a planet or moon into something that can support life as we know it is gaining considerable steam as we look to our nearest neighbor, Mars. See also: Bionengineering“Is there life on…Venus?”Wait, that's not how the song goes! But the key here is that while Mars gets all the attention as the planet in our solar system with the most potential to support life, there's also a chance that Venus could, as well. Key to that is the presence of phosphine in the atmosphere, which scientists have gone back and forth on, but recently found new evidence that it may be present.“PIXAAAAAAR!”Read more about that funny connection between a beloved animation studio and these beloved Trek movies here.“Colonized by earth bacteria”It doesn't take long, just to give you an idea of how quickly “life finds a way.”The Mars TrilogyTamara brings up Kim Stanley Robinson's acclaimed trilogy about terraforming our nearest planetary neighbor, Red Mars, Green Mars, and Blue Mars. There's also the follow-up The Martians which is a collection of short stories that expands this universe further.Project Hail MaryAnother Tamara recommendation this week is the Hugo Award-nominated Project Hail Mary from sci-fi author Andy Weir. You might also recognize Weir's name as the author of The Martian, which was adapted into a beloved film from director Ridley Scott and starring Matt Damon.The Wrath of Khan: The Novel!Even if you've seen Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan dozens of times, Vonda N. McIntyre's superb novelization of the film is full of surprises that will enrich your understanding of the story and your love of Trek in general. For extra credit, follow it up with her equally great (possibly better than the film it's based on!) novelization of Star Trek III: The Search for Spock!WANT MORE FROM DOES IT FLY?Go back to the very beginning with the first ever episode of Does it Fly? which tackled another iconic Star Trek concept: the transporter. Watch it right here!We're not particularly big on the whole Star Trek vs. Star Wars debate around these parts, so for those folks who love ‘em both, check out our episode on lightsabers right here!FOLLOW US!Stay in the loop!

Wide-ranging geekout with David Finn of Signal of Doom!! Lots of comic book and MCU chat (like, a lot). Pi Day. Doctor Who, old and new. Google Gemini vs. ChatGPT. Judge Dredd satirizes fascism but can tell multi-layered stories. Godzilla finally wins an Oscar. Godzilla as a metaphor. The essence of the Punisher. It's been a while, but Shane rants a bit (and David loves it). The Krakoan X-Men scare Shane and David's ready for the era to move on. Current Beast makes David pine for Dark Beast. Three Jokers?? The 80s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles RPG and real-life urban ninja action. Shane's defining Han Solo moments. David recommends Dreamsnake by Vonda N. McIntyre. A key to being an adult is being able to separate the creator from the creation in terms of enjoying entertainment. What D&D-related incident made a young Shane cry? Shane and David love the old-school CRPGs. The Asanti Series is a continuing series of fantasy books by David. Shane Plays Geek Talk Episode #274 - 3/29/2024 Like what you hear?

In this (annual) edition of the podcast, we discuss (and celebrate) the lives of six people associated with the Star Trek franchise we lost this year, and in previous years. With focus placed on people related to the “Kelvin Timeline” films, which had its 10th Anniversary this year. In this year's episode we talk about three actors (Barbara March, William Morgan Sheppard & Aron Eisenberg), two members of production (Nicole Frank & Peter Allan Fields). Along with the author Vonda N. McIntyre. May they all Rest In Peace.

GALAXIAS RELACIONALES Las relaciones alternativas a la monogamia han sido un terreno popular en la ciencia ficción desde sus inicios. Partiendo de Woman on the Edge of Time, la clásica novela utópica feminista de Marge Piercy, este primer episodio mirará hacia el poliamor como elemento de especulación política. También nos fijaremos en los tríos amorosos y las diversas versiones que se han dado en ejemplos del especulativo estatal e internacional, observaremos el imaginario de la sexualidad en la ciencia ficción audiovisual, nos preguntaremos si conseguimos zafarnos del patriarcado en una de las manifestaciones del poliamor más sonadas del género e indagaremos junto a James Tiptree, Jr. en las partes más problemáticas del deseo al alien como Otro. Todo ello atravesado por ideas que recoge Brigitte Vasallo en su ensayo Pensamiento monógamo, terror poliamoroso. Textos Mujer al borde del tiempo - Marge Piercy (t. Helen Torres) Pensamiento monógamo, terror poliamoroso - Brigitte Vasallo “Manual de supervivencia para fantasmas” - Rocío Vega Babel-17 - Samuel Delany (t.

Marge Piercy utopiko feministaren Woman on the Edge of Time eleberri klasikoa abiaburutzat hartuta, lehen atal honetan, espekulazio politikorako elementu gisa hartuko dugu poliamodioa. Bestalde, amodiozko hirukoteak eta Estatuko eta nazioarteko espekulatiboko adibideetan izandako bertsio desberdinak ikusiko ditugu, ikus-entzunezko zientzia fikzioko sexualitatearen imajinarioa landuko dugu, geure buruari galdetuko diogu ea lortzen ote dugun patriarkatua bazter uztea poliamodioaren arloko adierazpiderik sonatuenetako batean, eta, era berean, James Tiptree, Jr.-rekin batera, Bestea den alienarekiko desirak dituen alderdirik arazotsuenak ikertuko ditugu. Hori guztia, Brigitte Vasallok Pensamiento monógamo, terror poliamoroso saiakeran biltzen dituen ideiekin zeharkatuta.
Simon, Sebastian und Gerrit begrüßen euch herzlich zum Literarischen Terzett. In dieser Sonderfolge stellt jeder der drei einen ganz persönlichen Lieblingsroman mit der Originalcrew vor: "The Entropy Effect" (Der Entropie-Effekt) von Vonda N. McIntyre, "Ishmael" von Barbara Hambly und "Strangers from the Sky" (Fremde vom Himmel) von Margaret Wander Bonanno.
ZORK One 04. (Season -02 episode -37). Oh gosh. I just remembered this is the one that I recommended all those things in, right? Okay well the Author I couldn't remember was named Philip José Farmer, AND his book was called To Your Scattered Bodies Go, not "Riverworld", AND it was written in 1971, not 1978 or whatever I said. Jeez what a huge moron I was. I remembered his name the second I stopped recording, I swear. The other author was Vonda N. McIntyre. Check out The Exile Waiting and Dreamsnake. It wasn't an official Daniel K Recommends, but I do recommend you check out Gogs; it's actually better than I thought it would be. The audio that played at the very end of this episode was stolen from a special patreon-only episode of the Star Wars Minute podcast, a podcast I unreservedly recommend to absolutely everyone, not only star wars fans. Definitely check it out. Happy binging!
The Entropy Effect. When Captain Kirk is killed in a vicious attack, Spock must navigate his way through an impossible time-bending paradox to get to the bottom of the mystery of what happened. However, it is not only Captain Kirk's life that hangs in the balance, but the fate of the entire universe! In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Dan Gunther and Bruce Gibson are joined once again by Brandon Shea-Mutala to discuss the first Pocket Books original Star Trek novel, The Entropy Effect by Vonda N. McIntyre. We talk about our first experiences with the novel, Sulu's role in the story, Captain Hunter and her fighter squadron, links between this story and Star Trek Into Darkness, a convoluted time-twisting plot, and wrap up with our final thoughts and ratings. In the news segment, we talk about the Star Trek authors who have been nominated for this year's Scribe awards, judge the cover of the upcoming Rise of the Federation: Patterns of Interference, and review two comics: Star Trek/Green Lantern: Stranger Worlds #6 and TNG: Mirror Broken #1.
