SciFi4Me: The H2O Podcast: Recent Episodes
SciFi4Me
Mr. Hunt and Mr. Harvey share opinions on the latest news and happenings in the science fiction, fantasy, and horror genres -- with the occasional digressions.
Funny how we haven't really dived into this topic before now (we probably have but we're just too old to remember): the shared universe. Sometimes it can provide some unique story opportunities. But other times it can cause more headaches than it's worth.

With the renewal of SUPERMAN & LOIS also comes the news that Michael Cudlitz is being bumped up to series regular as Lex Luthor. Which means yet again, Lex Luthor is the villain of the piece.

Last week, we talked about shows that ended on ... well, less than stellar terms. Finales that fell flat. This week, we give you the corollary -- the shows that went out on a high note.

For many shows, the axe falls before everything gets a chance to play out. Ratings and network executives generally bring doom to our favorite shows and they die before their time. But every now and again, the network will give a series the opportunity to wrap up everything in a package and go out on their terms.Sometimes, this doesn't go as well as planned.

Today kicks off the annual CinemaCon event -- this is the one where studios bring their presentations to the collected movie theater chain owners to ply their wares. The movie theater people are already talking about what they need to survive, and the movie makers are talking about how much they need the venues.

On April 18, 1938, ACTION COMICS Number One hit shelves, and a star was born. Rocketed to Earth as an infant, raised by his adoptive parents on a farm in Kansas, the last survivor of the doomed planet Krypton, Kal-El, grew up as mild-mannered Clark Kent. As a reporter for a major metropolitan newspaper, Clark kept his eyes on the world, and in times of peril fought for truth, justice, and the American way as the mighty hero Superman!Now, we take a look at the Man of Steel's illustrious history, and look ahead to what comes next for the Big Blue Boy Scout as James Gunn prepares a LEGACY.Feedback: h2o@scifi4me.comFAIR USE NOTICEOur videos may contain copyrighted material; the use of which has not been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.

We've talked about it on several occasions -- the fact that so many film and television productions play fast and loose with fidelity to the source material. Sometimes it works, but sometimes it just raises the question of why they even bothered if it's not going to look anything like the book (or comic, or video game, or...)Why is it so important, anyway?

So...what's on our wish list? What do we hope for the new Man of Steel?

Midjourney. DALL-E 2. Fotor. DeepAI. It seems you can't throw a rock these days without hitting an artificial intelligence engine being used to create "art" -- but is it? Is it art? Is it something created by an artist? Is it just another tool? Or is it an invasive piece of code that threatens to render artists irrelevant? Is it a dodgy way to get around copyright law?

You've seen them all over the web: listicles, articles, videos, all documenting those "Easter eggs" that you might have missed in that film or those episodes or that one scene that was just so cool... And then there are "callbacks" that remind us of something else, another something that came before. Only a lot of these sites clearly have no understanding of just what an Easter Egg or a Callback really is. So class is in session.

Special Guest: Kamran Pasha!
This news dropped Sunday evening, and it took everyone by surprise: Bob Chapek is out as CEO of The Walt Disney Company, to be replaced by ... Bob Iger.This is unprecedented on a number of levels, not the least of which being that it's a bombshell reversal of the board of directors giving Chapek a unanimous vote of confidence mere months ago, with a brand new three-year deal.What does this mean for Disney? Where will Chapek land?

We've touched on it from time to time, and it came up again a while back when we were discussing the new QUANTUM LEAP -- the nostalgia for the movies and TV shows of the 80s. There was just something about that time in our formative years, giving us a creative foundation that serves as a basis for comparison against everything that's come after.

Back in the day, there was a distinct separation between acting for television and being in the movies. Usually, actors pursued one over the other. But nowadays, that line between the two seems to have blurred quite a bit, with actors regularly sliding between theatrical films and streaming series. Which raises the question: how much does it actually matter?

Which means at a certain point, WB will be distributing stuff like the James Bond films. Eventually. Plus: Nexstar has just closed a deal for a majority ownership of The CW, and they're about to launch the network in a completely new direction that has no resemblance to what the channel's done before.Are these good deals?

It's a tale that gets better and better as things develop. Someone bought one of a handful of books collecting the production designs and concept art for Alexandro Jodorowsky's attempt to adapt Frank Herbert's DUNE from way back in the day -- even before David Lynch did it.And then, this person thought that because he now owned one of the books, he had the rights to make the movie. It went downhill from there.

With the news that Christopher Walken has been cast as the Emperor in DUNE: PART TWO, we thought we'd take a moment to reflect on various... unexpected casting choices in cinematic history. Heath Ledger? Michael Keaton? What are some casting decisions that really flipped the script on a character?

Over the weekend, Mr. Harvey participated in the Independent Filmmakers Coalition's One Night Stand short film competition, and that got us thinking. With the fizzle of LIGHTYEAR, the slow decline of the Marvel films, and the 'franchise fatigue" that seems to be setting in, is it finally time for smaller movies to make a comeback?

There are quite a few "moments" — bits of story that stick with you for days, years, forever after. Great lines in movies, action sets, battle sequences, character interactions, etc. all sear themselves into our collective memories. They become iconic moments that define our perception of those stories. We quote them. We turn them into memes. They become cultural shorthand.And it's not limited to television and movies. There are moments like that in video games, comic book, and genre literature as well.

He's considered one of the worst film directors of all time. The "German Ed Wood" to some. He made his bones on low-budget movies based on video games, and many consider them all to be ... well, less than stellar. He went away for a while, and now he's back.Uwe Boll is directing a film based on another case handled by Eliot Ness, and you can be sure people are going to have expectations.

We've touched on it before in discussions of various topics, and now we dial in our focus to the matter of the "grounded in reality" type of story. When the fantasy is set a little too close to home, when things look a little too much like our neighborhoods and cities, does that enhance your enjoyment? Or does it diminish your ability to escape into the story?

H.P. Lovecraft was one of the first. He took psychological horror and cosmic weirdness and blended it in a concoction of suspicion and noxious fear. He gave us the Ancient Ones, the dreaded Cthulu, Azathoth, the shoggoths, and the Necronomicon.Lovecraft's influence can be felt throughout science fiction and horror tales. Creators such as Stephen King, Robert Bloch, August Derleth, Mike Mignola, and J. Michael Straczynski have all followed in Lovecraft's footsteps. What is it about Lovecraft's work that makes it endure so?

These will roll out quarterly, and he's launched all four on a Kickstarter campaign that has tongues wagging -- and not everyone is happy about it.

Then just yesterday, we learned that Ivan Reitman had died. And again, we're reminded of so many films that influenced a generation: ANIMAL HOUSE, STRIPES, GHOSTBUSTERS, TWINS...

Ah, the days of yore. Those thrilling days of yesteryear. Those deep-seated memories, the ones that pop up when we smell a certain perfume or see a specific shape. Those dark secrets that lay buried in our subconscious waiting to be unleashed... wait. No, not those.It seems that Hollywood wants to continue dipping into the well for past lives to revive, and 2021 gave us a few rare moments when nostalgia was applied in just the right doses. But there are some times when it goes horribly wrong.

So, on Friday the 12th, we got a few bits and bites about the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe series coming soon to Disney Plus. And we got -- well, not very much about the new series in the Star Wars universe. Let's discuss.

"There's no such thing as an original idea anymore." Do you find yourself wondering where all the new ideas have gone? Do you frequently experience frustration at all of the remakes and reboots and requels and reimaginings? Well...this may be a conversation that either helps or hurts.

Well, we've seen it. So now we're going to talk about it in a special Tuesday edition. Bring your thoughts about Part One of Dune, and let's talk about what works, what doesn't work, how it compares to Lynch's version (does it?), and what we might expect for Part Two.

So...DC Fandome came and went, and in the past week or so there's been a lot of talk about Superman (no, not that one...the other one). So we're pulling from our planned-ahead-of-time list to take a look at the Man of Steel with an eye toward the question: would Superman be best considered science fiction or fantasy? Because there's an argument to be made either way.

BREAKING: Today we got the news that The CW is rebooting BABYLON 5, a series that some feel is one of the best science fiction series of all time. J. Michael Straczynski is on board, and it's described as a "from the ground up" reboot.
Are we ready for this?

SciFi4MeTV #H2Opodcast #Babylon5
Last week, we focused our attention on the upcoming DUNE adaptation and our expectations -- cautiously optimistic hopes, if you will -- along with a look at David Lynch's version from oh, so long ago. Will it live up to the hype? Because DUNE has been seen as one of those stories that's almost impossible to get right.
This week, we broaden our scope to those other stories that would seem to fit that same category: the unfilmable. The impossible. The "highly challenging" types. We have our list. What stories would you include?

Arthur P Jacobs, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Ridley Scott, David Lynch, the Sci Fi Channel ... and now Denis Villeneuve takes a crack at Arrakis. There's a lot of buzz about this movie, and there's a lot riding on its success. Not just the potential for part two, but also the impact that it may have on distribution models as we continue to crawl out of the pandemic chaos. Can this adaptation of Frank Herbert's masterpiece go the distance?

Return with us to those thrilling days of yesteryear! Tonight we take a look -- or is it a listen? -- to a form of media that we don't think about all that often: the radio show. Superman, The Lone Ranger, The Green Hornet, War of the Worlds, the "Lights Out" series, the NPR adaptations of STAR WARS.... All of those came before, and now we're seeing how it influences what we're getting now with fully produced audio drama podcasts.

And it's never been published. Now, a literature professor is urging the Steinbeck estate to publish the book -- a murder mystery that involves a werewolf.

We've talked about adaptations before, how tough it is to get it right. Some do better than others, and some material is just too much of a challenge to even make the attempt. Tonight, we'll take a look at a few adaptations that just missed the mark completely and didn't deliver the goods.

Godzilla! Kong! The trailer is out, and we have thoughts. The big monster movie is eventually coming out. Does this one look like it's going to hold up? What surprises could be in store for us? Plus, we'll take a look at monster movies of old and do a little "compare and contrast"...

It's the talk of Hollywood and the social media circuit: the death of the movie theaters at the hands of Warner Bros. and parent company AT&T. But is it?
What are the ramifications of the decision to release an entire year's worth of films in both theaters and on HBO Max?

Alan Moore is famous for having walked away from comics, despite being a lifelong fan of the medium. Did he just lose his mind, or was there something more to his retirement from comics?
Now, in a new interview with Deadline, Moore talks about his new project, The Show, and how he feels superhero movies have blighted comic books -- which shouldn't be aimed at adults. Is he right?

Robin. Watson. Speedy. Spock. Jack Burton. There are a lot of great sidekicks in genre, and you can even go back far enough to find early examples in "The Last of the Mohicans". Sometimes they're the audience proxy, and sometimes they're the one that must be put into peril for the hero to be the hero.

Tonight! We're talking about the pandemic, and what it's doing to life as we know it.
From comicon cancellations and comic book shops closing, to Hollywood productions on hold, to streets empty of traffic, it's beginning to look like the Zombie Apocalypse is finally here, right? Well, it might not be AS bad as that, but it's still a time of great concern for everyone.
We're taking some time to talk about how the real apocalypse looks compared to some of the ones we find in movies and TV.

This time out, the discussion turns to a massive list of the genre productions that are (supposedly) coming to us in the next couple of years. But are they? Are they really?

From the FOUNDATION novels to his advisory role on STAR TREK, from his magazine to his scientific essays, Asimov has had a great deal of influence over the science fiction genre.

Here in Kansas City, a screening of GALAXY QUEST prompted us to look at the impact that movie's had on the STAR TREK community, and gives us an entry point into talking about how fandom has changed and grown over the years.
Fandom has certainly changed since back in the days when we'd be ridiculed, berated, sometimes bullied. Now it's cool to be a fan of the band, and we take a look at how things have changed, and maybe a few things that have stayed the same.

This week, on a special Thursday edition: Last weekend, as part of Planet Comicon, the Spectrum 26 Awards took place at the Folly Theater in Kansas City. And we had the brilliant idea of broadcasting the event live.
Things... didn't go quite as well as we'd hoped. BUT, we did make some new connections and a hope of trying again.

In this episode, with all of the talk swirling around the Marvel announcements, we take a look at what's been happening with the Distinguished Competition: DC Comics and their movie universe -- which doesn't look like it's going to be a shared universe anymore. Is DC finally taking a page from the Marvel playbook and concentrating on solo films for a while before trying another team movie? Will we ever get a Batman who's more of the "Dark Knight Detective"? All that and more in this hour...
And is THE FLASH in trouble...again?

Strap in!
It's time to talk about the swatting of Edwin Boyette, the swatting of Peter Simeti, the accusations against Vic Mignogna, and the gestalt of the "outrage mob" mentality that is the internet.
Those of you who have been listening for a while, know that these two don't always see eye to eye when it comes to politics and social issues, so it should be no surprise that this one gets a little... heated, shall we say?

So... Bill Maher made some rude comments about fandom back when Stan Lee died, and then he doubled down, and then he tripled down.
And a lot of people think that he's being a troll.
But it leads us to an even bigger conversation about disagreeing without being disagreeable. Is that even possible in this day and age of the internet and the anonymity it gives some people?
(and yes, the title card on the open is wrong...)

This week, we take a look at the storied career of William Goldman, who wrote a LOT more than just The Princess Bride. Heat, Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid along with its prequel -- and there's even a project or two on the list that never got completed. His was a career that spanned several decades, impacted a lot of careers in Hollywood, and left a lasting impression on the movie industry.

We're back! Jason Hunt and Timothy Harvey are back in studio with more discussion (and digression) on our longest-running podcast.
This week: we discuss the legacy and influence of Stan Lee. Not only was he involved in creating some of the most beloved Marvel Comics characters, but he also was a beloved character himself -- from cameos, to being one of the comics industry's most enthusiastic champions.
Excelsior, Stan. You'll be missed.
With Halloween right around the corner, this week's The Tim Harvey Showlooks at a few of Mr. Harvey's favorite lessor-known horror films!
Everyone knows the Halloween's, the Friday the 13th's and the Saw's, but there are a lot of great horror films that either didn't get the love they deserved from the studios or somehow slipped by audiences. Films like Ravenous, Altered and Session 9 have a lot to offer the horror fan looking for some good scares this Halloween, and Mr. Harvey has those not-as-famous films and more to share with you!
This week on the The Tim Harvey Show, we - shocker of shockers - don't talk about the latest harassment scandals... well, not very much, anyway. No, this week Mr. Harvey ponders The Punisher, Netflix's latest Marvel series, and asks wether Frank Castle can really be the "hero" of a story?
Created in the '70's as an anti-hero, Marvel's The Punisher has seen several comic series - written by some of best writers in the comics business - and three movie adaptations, with the violent vigilante taking a rather shocking road to his own TV series. And by shocking we don't just mean the more violent of the comic series, oh no. We mean FrankenCastle.
This was a thing that happened.
Plus more thoughts on Star Trek: Discovery and a spoiler-lite review of Amazon Prime's new series LORE!
This week on the The Tim Harvey Show, we - shocker of shockers - talk about the latest harassment scandals, which has now brought down Harvey Weinstein and Andy Signore, founder of Screen Junkies. The future looks not so bright for the worst players in the entertainment industry, and while that is definitively a good thing, the long-term impact on the genre world is still unclear.
The treatment of women also plays into some of the criticisms of the original Blade Runner, and with the release of its sequel last weekend, those criticisms and others are being discussed again by genre fans. Mr. Harvey takes a look at how Film Noir influenced the first film for good and ill, his own interest in that genre and its issues, and how Blade Runner influenced and continues to influence our cinematic view of the future. And, more importantly, no matter how influential or popular it is, why it's OK to not like Ridley Scott's iconic film.
I wasn't planning on repeating last week's rant about Men Treating Women Badly, but then the news about Harvey Weinstein broke. Hopefully this isn't going to turn into a weekly rant because that'll be terribly depressing.
What isn't depressing is the plan to record a series of live short horror script readings later this month, which we hope will be a new segment of the show, all for your aural and visual pleasure. We bring you the news about that, consider James Cameron's Wonder Woman fit, and ponder the latest Star Trek: Discovery episode, spoiler-free.
Plus, recommendations on horror films for the holiday!
Back in the early days of fandom, you could pretty much count on one hand the number of online sites to get the latest news. Ain't It Cool News was one of those sites. Long before the web was the destination for everything... Harry Knowles and his team were paving the way with scoops and previews of all the pretty genre things.
Now, Ain't It Cool (yes, it's still around) is dealing with a staff exodus in the wake of 20-year-old sexual harassment allegations against Knowles. That, plus the news that Devin Faraci went back to work for the Alamo Drafthouse folks after the reveal that he was accused of the same thing, now puts Tim League and Alamo in the cross-hairs.
Plus: there was a thing what happened this week. A thing calling itself Star Trek. And you know what? It might not be all bad... but let's talk about it.
To be blunt, it hasn't been a great summer for Hollywood. While 2017 has seen genre success with films like Kong: Skull Island, Logan, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Get Out, Split and, of course,Wonder Woman and some little film about a clown,the summer months are supposed to be where Hollywood's blockbusters live, and yet the list of big budget genre films that have crashed and burned is not at all short.
Valarian and the City of a Thousand Planets, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, The Dark Tower, Alien: Covenant, The Mummy, Transformers: The Last Knight, Life, Ghost in the Shell... all these and more cost $100's of millions to make and promote, only to see audiences stay away in droves. The studios are pointing to the critics and sites like Rotten Tomatoes and blaming them for poisoning the public on these big-budget, big-name flops, but are they the real culprits here? This week Mr. Harvey takes a look and asks: Bad reviews, or bad movies?
The negative reviews for Marvel's The Inhumans are coming in fast and furious, but it would hardly be the first time that a book or comic got a poor adaptation to another media, let alone a beloved property get a reboot or sequel that leaves fans wondering what went so very, very wrong. This week: pondering the questions of fan expectations and the primacy of good writing over adherence to canon, and considers what he wants and expects - fairly or not - from genre adaptations.
Hiya, folks. I've been thinking about a spin-off of our Zombpocalypse Now podcast for a while, because while Dustin Adair and I talk about the Walking Dead shows and a few others, we don't have anywhere near the time to cover all the great - and not so great - genre shows, films, podcasts, books and comics we watch, read and listen to. Jason and I covered some of that ground with H2O - SciFi4Me's very first and longest running podcast - and I hope to cover even more here.
We're looking at doing reviews, interviews, maybe even some live old-school radio theatre along with - one does hope - the thoughtful analysis and reasoned opinion that you've come to expect from us, and more.
The best part of writing and recording for SciFi4Me is that it's a kind of conversation with our readers and listeners, and if you watch The Tim Harvey Show live on SciFi4Me TV.2, you can be a part of that conversation in real time. I'll be taking your comments and questions every Thursday night on our Twitch channel, hopefully be a little bit entertaining and informative, and try in probable vain to keep to 30-35-minute schedule.
I do hope you'll join me.
This week! We finally fulfill our promise to Ray and talk about anime — and it's more of an overview of things we know, things we should know, and things we'd like to know. So... about the usual.
From Star Blazers to Battle of the Planets to RoboTech to more modern offerings like Death Note and Vampire Hunter D, we take a look at the anime landscape and how it influenced us as fans and how the anime style has influenced Hollywood. Plus, we share recommendations from fans: anime that you think is worth a first (or second) look.
Back to our regular-ish time episode length as we bounce around on several topics:
What's Marvel got in store for the Fantastic Four?
What's going on with Aunt May?
What's up with the reboot of The Munsters?
We'll talk about Google next week.
Is DC Comics doing their own version of the Fantastic Four with The Terrifics? It seems so. Meanwhile, Tom Holland would like Tobey McGuire to play Uncle Ben -- and should Aunt May be a character defined by her sex appeal? Plus: problems with the Aquaman movie, which leads to a discussion about Namor and The Hulk. Because this week, we wander. But we're not lost.
There's a LOT of news that came out of Comic-Con International in San Diego. So much so, that we're only scratching the surface of what could be discussed.
From trailers to casting news to panels to tie-in projects to controversy, San Diego Comic-Con has given us plenty to talk about. Is Ben Affleck staying in the role of Batman? What does Steven Moffat really think about the Jodie Whittaker controversy? Will The Orville take its rightful place next to Galaxy Quest as a nearly-faithful version of Star Trek? Will Discovery actually be any good? Will pop culture touchstones carry the day for Ready Player One and Stranger Things? What does God need with a starship?
All that and more in this extended episode.
Programming note: H2O is currently experimenting with a live stream of our recording sessions on SciFi4Me TV.2.
The Doctor is in.
Some people are happy about it. Some people aren't. And if you only figure things out by reading the stuff on the internet, then there are a lot of people who hate each other, hate the BBC, hate DOCTOR WHO, because it's all been ruined by Chris Chibnall.
Because the next Doctor is female.
This week, we discuss the casting of Jodie Whittaker as the first female Doctor, along with the reactions from across the web. But consider that it's not the first time the idea has come up. As far back as the 1980s (before Sylvester McCoy was put into the role), there was a suggestion that at some point the Doctor should be female. Remember, this character is an alien, and the groundwork has been laid for quite some time for this to happen. Is it a good idea? Is it a bad idea? Is it gender politics, or just a natural progression of the show? What kind of stories can be told now?
This week, we take a look at the continuing saga of the legal proceedings between Comic-Con International and Salt Lake Comic Con. Specifically: SLCC has file paperwork to get SDCC's trademark cancelled because it doesn't meet the criteria of a proper trademark.
Going on three years now, the battle stems from SDCC's assertion that they own the term "comic con" (or comic-con or comicon or what have you), which is a total pile of cow manure, to those of us looking on from the sidelines. How in the world does SDCC think they can own a term that's been in use since before they existed? A term that's being used by conventions worldwide. What's the motivation behind this lawsuit? And what's keeping SDCC from suing other events? Why single out SLCC?
Programming note: H2O is currently experimenting with a live stream of our recording sessions on SciFi4Me TV.2 - http://www.twitch.tv/scifi4me.
In recent weeks, we've been seeing a lot of back and forth about politics, and tolerance, and manners, and the Internet (where a lot of that plays out like a bad day on the kindergarten playground...). Which got us thinking about how science fiction generally plays with the self-examination of humanity through "The Other" — the alien, the robot, the mutant — that outsider who can take a look at us as a species and wonder just why we do the things we do. And comment on it.
Sometimes The Other is an outsider looking in, sometimes the proxy for a particular group or type of people. However the archetype is used in the narrative, there are plenty of examples of The Other in science fiction. Drop us a comment or e-mail and let us know your favorites!

"You two need to do the political episode. Yes, it's time. You both have enough opposing views, but you also have the utmost respect for each other. There's no way that this could get out of hand."
OK. Our discussions of politics have generally been brief, mainly because we disagree on a great many things. But that doesn't stop us from being friends and colleagues. Naturally, the conversations sometimes tend to get a little ... energetic, let's say? But ultimately it comes down to having enough respect for each other to at least listen to what the other one says, even if he's wrong.
Now it appears that's caught up with us...
Back to our regular (ish) schedule this week with a discussion of some of the shows we've missed and/or fell behind watching, and the need to catch up in order to be the well-rounded, totally informed information brokers we claim to be. From Wynonna Earp to Game of Thrones to 12 Monkeys, there are plenty of shows we need to binge-watch in order to get current.
But first: answering listener e-mail on why the new format for this show is the new format for this show.
It's over for another year.
Planet Comicon has come and gone, and this year we got a great opportunity to repeat what we did at Worldcon: broadcast live online from the event floor. With the help of our friends at TV25.tv, we were able to stream interviews and live coverage from PCC pretty much all weekend.
In this episode, we take a look at how things came together and how the weekend went. Our post-Planet analysis continues, and we're still posting video to SciFi4Me TV, so check back frequently for updates. We think we may have an angle on this live video thing, but we're still getting a feel for what the equipment can do, should do, and what our team is able to deliver — which is a lot!
The Doctor has returned! And he's got a new companion (two, really). And he's got photos on his desk! And he's got a desk! And a vault! What's he got in the vault? Probably the thing that's going to keep him Earth-bound this year, very much as he was in his Third incarnation...
After having seen the episode twice, we found plenty of things to like and plenty of things to wonder and speculate about. Sonic screwdrivers. Penguins. Lectures about physics and poetry (they both rhyme). And Susan! That photograph isn't there by accident. With the original Cybermen making an appearance later this season, it's a sure bet that the photo of the Doctor's granddaughter is there for a reason.
Programming note: H2O is now on a bi-weekly schedule, so every other Saturday is when you'll get a new episode.
This week: the return of DOCTOR WHO! As the tenth season of the revived series draws ever closer to our TV screens (and some cinema screens), we take a look at the upcoming teases and possible spoilers. Not only is this Steven Moffat's last year as showrunner, but it's also Peter Capaldi's last season, and it looks as if Pearl Mackie may be a companion for only one season. Will Chris Chibnall do away with just about everything? Or is this a plan to give him a clean slate for the next season and the next Doctor?
Plus: what's this we hear about John Simm returning as the Master? Along with Michelle Gomez as Missy? Could Derek Jacoby and Eric Roberts be waiting in the wings?
We need your help!
This half-hour, we offer up an invitation for you to be a part of our live coverage of Free Comic Book Day coming up on Saturday, May 6th. We'll be attempting to connect people from comic book shops all over the world to talk about what's happening in your neck of the woods.
Also: there's rumor floating about that Robert Rodriguez is in line to direct the reboot of Escape From New York. Do we need this? No, but the studio machine in Hollywood needs the next big franchise, so they're doing it anyway. Because CHiPs was a thing... Is Rodriguez the right man for the job? Who would be the best new Snake Plissken? And how do you do the political commentary in today's climate?
The battle is about to begin!
This week: an extended episode in which we have guests! Stefan White and Steven Fuller from Kansas City's Friends of the River join us to talk about the upcoming attempt to set the world record for the "Largest Lightsaber Battle in the World" -- complete with representatives from Guiness World Records! On May 6th, over ten thousand people will gather on the shores of the Mighty Mo, the Missouri River, to wage the largest lightsaber battle ever. Many groups have been large, but this is the first attempt to set a world record.
More importantly, it's a chance to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Center at Children's Mercy Hospital here in Kansas City (http://www.childrensmercy.org). May is also Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month, and this is a chance to raise money for ongoing research to help kids live long enough to receive lung transplants so that they can live into adulthood.

[audioplayer file="" titles="H2O #151: In Which We Discuss the Biggest Lightsaber Battle in the World" artists="SciFi4Me Radio" track="ffff00"]
Programming note: H2O is now on a bi-weekly schedule, so every other Saturday is when you'll get a new episode.
Who would have thought we'd make it this far? Episode 150!
This week: discussing the books we've been reading — or in Mr. Harvey's case, hearing. From re-reads to new review copies, plus a bunch of audiobooks, we're talking about — and recommending — a few titles for you.
Plus, a programming note: moving forward, H2O will be on a bi-weekly schedule, so every other Saturday is when you'll get a new episode. Which means episode #151 will drop on March 11.
Two weeks ago, we discussed the upcoming new adaptation of DUNE. It's going to be a challenge to get it right. Which is the case every time a network or studio takes on the task of adapting a literary work for filmed media. The translation either works or it doesn't, or it sort of maybe kind of works, or it just barely doesn't quite work. Or it's so far off in left field you don't even recognize it.
So, what are some of the issues inherent in adapting a work for a new medium? We take a crack at examining that very question, and throw out a few stories that actually might make good movies, only nobody else seems to have had the same idea...
As some of you know, last year we were able to offer unprecedented coverage of Worldcon with our live-stream broadcast from the event in Kansas City. This year, we're hoping to do more of that from other events. The livestream broadcast certainly seems to be a possible new model for us. And while it's nothing new when it comes to gaming conventions, it's still a new concept for the comicons. We'd love to make it the new "normal"...
But what's involved? What does it take? And where should we go? You can help us decide.
This week, we got the news that THE ARRIVAL director Denis Villeneuve — who also happens to be directing BLADE RUNNER 2049 — will take the helm of the new DUNE project that we first learned about back in November.
Frank Herbert's seminal work has been adapted before, with mixed results. Herbert's son Brian, along with Kevin J. Anderson, have carried on the DUNE saga with various prequels and sequels based on Herbert's notes, but they've also seen mixed reaction. Both Herbert the Younger and Anderson are involved in the project, so it's likely to be as faithful to the source material as any could be. But DUNE is a hefty challenge, with its political, economic, and religious themes key elements in the structure of the story.
How tough is this going to be to present a DUNE that's actually... DUNE?
Alec Peters is calling it a victory. But is it?
Word came out last week that CBS and Paramount had reached a settlement with Peters and Axanar Productions in the copyright infringement lawsuit. Just days before they were set to go to trial, they issued a joint announcement that a bargain had been put in place. Axanar had to admit to overreaching with their original production, but they can still move forward as long as they stay within the new official guidelines from CBS.
We take a look at what's public about the deal and discuss what it could mean not only for Axanar, but for fan films in other franchises moving forward.
Last week, we began our response to Richard Brody's review of Rogue One in The New Yorker, which can be found here:
http://www.newyorker.com/culture/richard-brody/rogue-one-reviewed-is-it-time-to-abandon-the-star-wars-franchise
This week, we conclude our conversation and analysis of Mr. Brody's review, and we also bring into play other negative reviews of Rogue One. Only those negative reviews focus on specific mechanics and technical aspects of the film. And they don't include massively long run-on sentences that, when examined with a cursory glance, only serve to belabor an obscure point and leave the reader confused because, as with so many run-on sentences, it's a stream of consciousness sentence that meanders and wanders and circles around the point, stalking it like a mutated turtle stalks pizza.
Something we've been wanting to do for a while: respond to Richard Brody's review of Rogue One in The New Yorker:
http://www.newyorker.com/culture/richard-brody/rogue-one-reviewed-is-it-time-to-abandon-the-star-wars-franchise
It's a painful, pretentious, meandering diatribe against a franchise that, over the past forty years, has impacted film production methods, film music scoring, film editing, merchandising, visual effects production, and film sequel planning in a way that will have a lasting impact long after we've gone the way of the pedantic reviewers of the previous technologically challenged generation, and it clearly demonstrates that Mister Brody lacks the fundamental understanding of that which he's been tasked, either by himself or a masochistic editor, to review with all the preparation of a toddler facing a velociraptor.
How's that, Mr. Brody?
We're back! It's our first episode of the new year. First episode on a new day. First episode with the new format. And the first episode where we share with you our plans for 2017.
This week, we go through the new podcast schedule and bring you up to speed on some of our plans for the content we're going to deliver at SciFi4Me:
~ a more consistent podcast release schedule ~ more focus on reviews ~ more interviews
It's an effort to deliver more of what you want, so feel free to leave a comment or send an e-mail to let us know what you think of the changes and to make suggestions for future topics. And if you care to donate, our Patreon channel is here: www.patreon.com/scifi4me.
As we roll into the holidays, we dive into the last episode of the year and talk about quite a number of different things, offering you a sampler of topics to demonstrate the range of what we discuss on this show. From Star Wars and Star Trek to the pop culture impact of science fiction to politics in the genre, we roam far and wide this week to give you an idea of just where our wanderlust takes us.

Over the past few weeks, we've seen and heard news about the financial and legal troubles faced by Wizard World. CMO Stephen Shamus was unceremoniously fired, and then Wizard World sued him over allegations that he'd defrauded the company and finagled autographs and collectibles for his own personal pockets.
Then we got word that Wizard World as a company was in the hole for a lot of money. Have they over-extended? Have they reached the point where it's impossible for them to recover?
This week, we go through the timeline and opine about the state of Wizard World — and by extension, other really big conventions.

Back from the holiday, and we have a slightly more quiet week. Yes, STAR WARS: ROGUE ONE tickets are on sale, but outside of that there's really not a lot of major news. And the DC television crossover will be a topic for the next ROGUES GALLERY, so...
We're opening the floor to your suggestions and ideas. As we head into 2017, we'll be having a staff meeting/retreat this weekend, where we'll be discussing what we do next, and we want to hear from you. What kind of content would you like to see on SciFi4Me? What kind of articles should we write? What kind of video should we produce? What kind of content can you send us?
And yes, we get a little silly this week...
Earlier this week, news came down that Syfy will air a new television adaptation of Robert A. Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land. Given Syfy's track record since abandoning "The Sci Fi Channel" as its brand, we thought we'd speculate on whether this is actually a good idea or not. How do you take what's essentially a think piece and make watchable television fare? How do you present the more "hippie culture" and philosophical aspects of the story?
How do you get away with all the nudity and sex?
Expectations, speculations, and more as we measure what could be a fantastic outing in television compared to others they've produced: DUNE, ASCENSION, CHILDHOOD'S END, HIGH MOON...
It's been a tumultuous week here in the United States. The election has certainly got a lot of people in a state of not-calmness, so we thought we'd avoid talking politics altogether and give everyone a safe space full of breathing room while we talk about food.
Throughout the science fiction and fantasy genres, there have been moments where culinary concoctions make it into our bubble of awareness. From blue milk to Romulan ale, Klingon gagh to Slurm, there are probably more dishes out there than you might think. Because oftentimes it's just part of the scenery, something in the background. Pay it no mind.
Except this week, we pay it a great deal of mind. Because talking politics right now is likely to get you a side-eye.
"Back to the Future Part II" made a gag out of it, but who would have thought we'd actually be talking about the Chicago Cubs wining the World Series? And just one year off from when BTTF predicted it, too...
The reaction of Cubs fans, even baseball fans in general, gives rise to our topic this week: the loyalty of fandom. The drive to know and love something so much you stick with it no matter what. That excited energy that comes with reading the new issue, watching a new season, seeing the next movie, finishing the costume... and our fandom is just as energetic and enthusiastic as sportsball fandom.
Don't forget our informal poll: Should we keep going weekly? Or skip every other week? Let us know by sending an e-mail: h2o@scifi4me.com.
Back in the same room (and a new one at that), with a new recording configuration, a new seating arrangement, and a new sponsorship arrangement — namely, we don't have one anymore. SuperheroStuff has made some changes in their marketing strategy and as a result won't be with us any longer (at least for now).
But! That doesn't mean we don't have anything to discuss! Because this week is our Halloween edition! It's our first Halloween with our Horror4Me content, and that gives us plenty to share with you — The Exorcist, The Walking Dead, Channel Zero, Scream Queens, Fear the Walking Dead, and more! (you can read all of our recaps here). Plus scary movies, some that aren't so scary, and some reasons why.
We also want you to tell us: what's your favorite horror movie? And should we keep going weekly? Or skip every other week? Let us know by sending an e-mail to h2o@scifi4me.com.
It's a mixed bag this week, as we deal with new studio setups, technical issues, and schedule fluctuations to deliver a late discussion.
This week: Donald Glover has been cast as Lando Calrissian. Good choice? Better question: do we even need this Han Solo prequel? * Artist Steve Dillon (Preacher) passed away last week. * J. Scott Campbell raised hackles with his variant cover for the new Iron Man/Iron Heart title. * Who on The Walking Dead* isn't coming back?
By now, you've heard that filmmaker Kevin Smith is in the process of developing a new Buckaroo Banzai television series with MGM. And you've probably also heard that it's going to live on Amazon Prime.
But hold on. Back that train up. Because in a recent turn of events, we're now finding out that MGM may not own the rights they think they own. In fact, looking back at the original five-and-some-change-page contract, it may actually turn out that nobody has owned the rights they thought they did. The Buckaroo Banzai franchise looks like it may have always been owned by the original creators, Earl Mac Rauch and W.D. Richter. Because Richter says that the way the contract is worded, MGM never bought the rights to the concept itself, just commissioned Rauch to write a script based on the concept.
'Tis a tangled web that is sure to get even messier before the day is through. You can read more about it on the Banzai Institute's Facebook page.
On September 1, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket exploded on the launch pad during a test. In the aftermath, the investigation has explored a number of possible causes, and one theory has almost taken on a life of its own: sabotage by rival company United Launch Alliance, which has a facility not too far from the launch complex.
While officially, no one is giving the sabotage theory much credence, there are still plenty of questions surrounding the circumstances of the explosion that some are latching onto the theory that maybe a sniper was on the roof of the ULA building, just over a mile away, and maybe there was a shot before the Falcon 9 exploded, and maybe this was an act of corporate rivalry taken too far?
No matter what the facts bear out, it's still fun to speculate.

This week, we dip into the mailbag and riff off a suggestion from listener Dave, who asks us which shows we'd fix if we had the opportunity.
Mr. Harvey, fresh off a session of Zombpocalypse Now with Mr. Adair, has been stewing over the inanity of Fear the Walking Dead, and so takes his shot at both Fear and The Walking Dead with a focus on the lack of hope in both shows. And Mr. Hunt turns to Gotham, where the "fix" could very well be taking the show so far to the extreme side of crazy that it wouldn't even be the same show anymore.
And then the fun begins: we design the "perfect" science fiction comedy series. All the elements that would make a fun romp, and we might even make the show a reality.

Maybe we should have waited to do this until episode 132 next week, because there are 132 shows on our list. It's a list drawn from a number of sources, and it includes just about every show and miniseries either on the air, about to be on the air, in production, on order, or in development — and it's most likely not complete, as it doesn't include some animated series or shows aimed at children's audiences.
This week, we go through the entire list with our notes, idle speculations, rumors, expectations, hopes, and fears. Along the way, we'll tell you about the shows we're going to recap (for sure) and the shows we'd like to recap (all of them), and how you can help.
SciFi4Me is an all-volunteer operation, and with as many shows that are on this list, we certainly don't have the manpower to do it justice. So if you've got any interest in writing recaps and reviews of a show, head over to our volunteer form and let us know.
It's a reboot that's been brewing for a while -- the new Xena: Warrior Princess. And as we've heard by now, it's very likely that we're going to get a new Xena and Gabrielle, even though Lucy Lawless and Renée O'Connor are still of an age (and in shape) to reprise their roles once again. And despite the fact that Lawless is married to one of the producers, it's looking more and more like she's going to have a cameo or some smaller recurring part.
The reason we bring this up now is because the internet delivered this stop-motion LEGO Xena title sequence, and with the meme that reminds us that Harrison Ford, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Sylvester Stallone are all kicking around their popular characters, we examine whether it's a good idea to recast Xena or not...

"Space. The final frontier..."
Those words are indelibly imprinted on the minds of generations of fans. Trekkers, Trekkies... doesn't matter which label you claim. And whether your favorite show is The Next Generation, Voyager, Deep Space Nine, Enterprise, the animated series, or the Original... they are all Star Trek.
But we wouldn't have the spinoff series, the movies, the books, the video games, the comic books, and the wealth of merchandise without the original Wagon Train to the Stars that grew out of Gene Roddenberry's musings about the future. The show's influence on technology, the commentary about our culture, the inspiration for so many who became astronauts and engineers and scientists... it all came from a show that dared show us a hopeful future in which we'd finally gotten our act together and learned to get along.
Here, then, is our discussion about Star Trek.
Now that we've got everything (well, almost everything...) put back together in the studio post-conventions, it's time to turn our attention to the upcoming fall TV season. Because it's right around the corner. CBS, NBC, Fox, ABC, CW, and the cable networks all have shows hitting the air starting this month, and the on-demand services aren't too far behind with genre offerings of their own.
And yes, Killjoys and Dark Matter completely slipped by us this season. Good thing they'll both be around for a season three...
The World Science Fiction Convention has come and gone this year, and you may have heard about this thing that we did — showing up with cameras and lights and microphones and our really spiffy metal sign Ray made, and broadcasting live from the event. It was unprecedented coverage, and we use that word a lot, but it's absolutely true — no one has ever done this in the history of Worldcon.
Were there hiccups? Of course. Were there mistakes? Yes, a few. Were there tons of authors and editors and publicists wanting to talk to us on camera after they figured out what we were doing there? Absolutely.
It was an experience we've never had before, and unless we find a way to expand our resources, we may never get a chance to do it again. At least, not at a Worldcon. To those who were asking about our next excursion into live-streaming from a convention: we're figuring that out now.
This past weekend, we had the opportunity to set up shop at the second annual Kansas City Comic Con, and we took the show on the road, setting up in front of a captive audience to discuss all sorts of random items.
Some of it you may have heard before -- in fact, we may have inadvertently invented a drinking game -- but it was all brand new for our live audience.
Director Ridley Scott recently got put in front of a microphone at the Venice Film Festival, where he opined about the state of affairs in Hollywood, and while expressing his opinion he stumbled into almost quoting renowned science fiction author Theodore Sturgeon:
Scott: "I think movies are getting dumber, actually. Where it used to be 50/50, now it's 3% good, 97% stupid."
Sturgeon: "I repeat Sturgeon's Revelation, which was wrung out of me after twenty years of wearying defense of science fiction against attacks of people who used the worst examples of the field for ammunition, and whose conclusion was that ninety percent of SF is crud. Using the same standards that categorize 90% of science fiction as trash, crud, or crap, it can be argued that 90% of film, literature, consumer goods, etc. is crap. In other words, the claim (or fact) that 90% of science fiction is crap is ultimately uninformative, because science fiction conforms to the same trends of quality as all other artforms."
Sturgeon first shared that in the March 1958 issue of Venture magazine, and the "Revelation" has since been distilled down into Sturgeon's Law: "90 percent of everything is crap".
Is Scott right? Have we descended in a spiral toward mediocrity and sad hollow shells of the Hollywood of olde? Or has this kind of ratio always been around?
Tucked in between Star Wars Celebration Europe and the Television Critics Association press event, there was this thing called ?Comic-Con International in San Diego. You might have heard of it...
This week, we take on the daunting task of trying to cover just a little bit about everything — and there is a lot of ground to cover. From casting news to new projects to expansions of existing franchises to rumors and blowbacks and panels that might have gone better, we just barely scratch the surface of the pile of news that hit us from SDCC 2016.
It's just one month away: the World Science Fiction Convention, known more colloquially as Worldcon. The 74th Annual event will be hosted by the MidAmericon II convention in Kansas City this year, and SciFi4Me will be front and center with unprecedented coverage from the floor of the event.
The Hugo Awards. The Campbell Conference. Award-winning authors and editors. Plenty of panels and workshops. And we can't forget about the Masquerade -- plus: this year, a special anniversary for Charley Lippincott and Star Wars.

Back in the day, there were movies that weren't part of big franchises. There were movies that were single stories, without the need for sequels. There were stories being told for the first time, with no reboot or remake or prequel or re-imagining or whatever.
Nowadays, however, it seems that the modern cinema is populated only by such blockbusters and tentpole films that the studios distribute in the quest for the next billion-dollar box office. But what does that do for smaller films and the independent (and mostly young) filmmakers trying to find an audience?
At the suggestion of SciFi X/Y co-host Sonya Rodriguez, we discuss visual effects -- is it better to have everything computer-generated (CG)? Or are practical effects better? Consider that the original Star Wars trilogy was practical, while the prequel trilogy was CG-heavy (even though there were considerable practical effects as well).
With the return of the original shooting model of the USS Enterprise to a place of prominence at the Smithsonian, it's a good time to debate the merits of both, so join us as we barely scratch the surface of the topic.
Feel free to weigh in on this discussion, friends.
We've heard them before. Or we've at least heard some of them. Those crazy notions, the theories and speculations that lead people to believe certain things about stories -- things we never see, things that never become canon, except in our heads.
This week, not only do we delve into the world of the fan theory, we also do it on camera and launch what may be a regular thing: H2O both on SciFi4Me Radio and SciFi4Me TV. So you can watch us or listen to us. Or both. All the while we talk about Sith Jar Jar Binks, Bland Marvel and DC Headcanon, the Pixar Theory, the Disney movie connections, and more.
It's that nebulous otherworldly thing: the viral video. Like unicorns, Leprechauns, and high-paying jobs, the viral video is rare. It's unique. And there's no formula that determines when a video will blow up the internet.
So when video of a woman laughing hysterically whilst wearing a Chewbacca mask is the thing blowing up the internet, it becomes worthy of notice and discussion. What is it that makes this video so popular? Is Candace Payne, known as "Chewbacca Mom" throughout the web, deserving of her fifteen minutes of fame? Is she the type of person who should have so much attention? So much media focus? She's been able to parley this burst of attention into an opportunity to talk about spreading the laughter around, and it's certainly brought her plenty of opportunities to be in front of people. She's been able to open baseball games and travel to L.A. for driving in the car with J.J. Abrams and meet with Peter Mayhew. And she's also been able to lift the spirits of children facing medical and emotional challenges. But with all that, does she need to be charging $20 for an autograph?
We also take some time to digress into politics, touching on the Brexit vote and Mr. Harvey's thoughts about Donald Trump, but more importantly: we talk about the importance of a good cup of coffee.
Following up on last week's episode, we delve into our lists of stories we probably should have already read or watched, but for various reasons just haven't yet. From 2001: A Space Odyssey to Asimov's Foundation to Ringworld and all points in between. The shows we haven't seen yet -- or just fell away from for lack of time or interest -- and the stories that intimidate us. We take a look at several titles, and you may find yourself in the same boat when it comes to a few on the list.
What are the stories you have yet to conquer? Leave us a comment and let us know. Just like Ray did.
And yes, the Hugo Award nominees are still on that list as well, since we still need to sit down in a locked room and dive into reading those titles before August rolls around and Worldcon is upon us...
In this episode, we go on walkabout through a field of topics -- Darryl “DMC” McDaniels (of Run-D.M.C.) is now making comic books, and our journey takes us from rap music to the 90s movies and their treatment of women as objects to admire and possess. Along the way we look at the recently announced DC Animated projects, Mr. Harvey's art, and the absolutely bonkers meta-textual possibilities of Sharon Stone in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (come on, you know she's Janet Van Dyne, right?
Also: Mr. Hunt gripes about Facebook. Plus: we talk a little more about our plans for Worldcon and the reading list we haven't gotten to yet.
Topic prompt for your e-mails and comments: are there books/movies/shows that you've always intended to read/watch, but just never got around to it? Let us know which titles are on your "haven't yet, but mean to someday" list.
This week, we introduce you to a new segment we're developing for July: The Essentials, a series of articles and videos that introduce topics to people who might have missed it the first time around. Just about every topic is fair game, because somewhere out there someone hasn't seen Star Wars or Lost or LEXX or... name your flavor.
So we're going to be sharing the "Essentials" about a topic, and this first one: Person of Interest, which is wrapping up its final season on CBS in the next few weeks. Our intrepid editor/reporter/host Mr. Harvey has realized that the show has some very genre-connecting elements (which weren't there in the beginning, which is why it slipped under our radar), making the show at the very least, speculative fiction if not outright sci-fi.
Take a listen, and please share with us what you think.
Episode 115 takes on special meaning for us. Not only do we get to record live -- we were out at Planet Comicon -- but we also celebrate our 100th episode with SuperheroStuff.com as our sponsor.
This week, we answer questions from our audience, and oddly enough our talk circled around the DC Comics television shows more than anything else. But we did talk about some other things, and if we've missed anything you'd like us to talk about, send us an e-mail: h2o@scifi4me.com and we'll discuss in a future episode.
Coming out of our discussion last week, we work off of Doug's suggested topic: the willing suspension of disbelief. It's a critical element in genre fiction — that agreement between the artist and the audience that certain parts of a story are there and they make sense within the story. You have to be willing to accept things like transporters, aliens, telepathy, time travel, and all manner of things to enjoy the story.
But if you stare too hard at it, the whole thing comes apart. And sometimes, that's not what the author or filmmakers intended. Sometimes they take for granted what audiences will accept or reject, and we take a look at a few that get it right, and some that don't.
This week: edging closer to the 115th episode, where we'll give away a SuperheroStuff Hero Box.
Bouncing off an e-mail from Doug in California, we put it to our iTunes/iPhone app listeners to help Doug find the rate button in the app. If you have any assistance you can render, please send us an e-mail.
Also: at what point do you lose the need to tell a particular story? The fall of Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars, zombies on a boat with Fear the Walking Dead... and others. Sometimes it's best to just leave well enough alone. Unless you're Greg Berlanti and you get the keys to more of the DC Universe. Because it's absolutely necessary to tell the story of Booster Gold, which he's about to do.
And then there's this logic bomb that could possibly destroy the plot of Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. It's one of those things that happen when you have too much time on your hands... ticking away...
Word came down this week that the online magazine SF Signal was shutting down, and we take a moment to examine the narrowing field of geek journalism in the wake of changes at io9.
Plus: more controversy surrounding the Hugo Awards! (surprise)
And are they ever going to reboot I Dream of Jeannie? We talk about why it might not be such a good idea as we await Barbara Eden's appearance at Planet Comicon.
Back on our regular schedule, and this time we're discussing a topic that probably should come with a warning label.
The comic book industry, and by extension the comics community at large, has been abuzz with discussion about the termination of employment for Shelly Bond at Vertigo Comics, which somehow led to an even bigger discussion about the allegations of sexual harassment by a senior editor -- named by many to be Superman group editor Eddie Berganza.
Now, we're not going to get into the veracity of the allegations themselves, mainly because we don't have the facts of any of the cases (reported or not). Instead, we take a look at the discussion itself, the online back and forth that looks at the situation and -- like the Internet does -- forms an opinion no matter how informed (or not) it may be.
This is not a defense of Berganza or anyone else who's been accused of this kind of thing. This is a surface examination of the conversation being had about it.
With apologies for the delay, this week we look at a number of items in the news, things blowing up the Internet, things that matter, and things that don't.
Every now and again, we find ourselves having to discuss sad news, and this week we talk about the loss of Prince and his influence on the genre. His work on Tim Burton's Batman had more of an impact than some people realize, and we take a look at how Prince's music influenced a generation of fans. Plus, we pass along our condolences to Patton Oswalt on the sudden death of his wife Michelle McNamara.
In other Internet-blowup (or blowback) news, there's Ghost in the Shell getting all the hate from the Interwebz because Scarlett Johansson is apparently too white to play a Japanese secret agent in the body of a robot. And there's a lot of online chatter about the continued fallout over the CBS/Paramount lawsuit against Star Trek: Axanar -- now it's the sequel to Horizon getting a polite C&D before the production even begins.
Plus: Doctor Who companion news!
Another week of numerous news items, so we take some of the more notable ones and opine: Star Wars, Blake's 7, Batman v Superman, Nosferatu, American Gods, and Jackie Earle Haley. We kick things off with a funny from Mark Hamill and a rant about The Killing Joke.
Plus: Deadpool, Avatar, Tales From the Crypt... and will Captain America be the big hero at the box office in May?
Quite a few things to sift through this week, not the least of which is that new trailer for Rogue One that fell upon the masses. How excited are you for the next installment in the Star Wars franchise? Because that's what it is now, in full force. Plus we discuss the changes in the release date for Wonder Woman, along with the rest of the lineup for the DC Movie Universe.
And then there's this thing what Dragon*Con did. What does it mean for the Hugos? How will the Hugo Award process shake out this year with a new group running the Sad Puppies? Is it time for a brand new award? Is it time to burn everything down and start over?
It's a discussion that may (or may not, depending on how much you care) set off some comments and ire. Maybe. Did The 100 and The Walking Dead play into the well-worn tropes of "The Lesbian Sacrifice" or the "Bury Your Gays" or the "fridging" like some have complained? And is the trope actually the trope everyone says it is? Or is it much broader and people are just reading into it based on their own perspectives? Plus: Zack Snyder just doesn't get Superman. And we discuss a bit about why Batman v Superman doesn't work for some people.
Zack Snyder is not the only one running afoul of the Internet this week because of something he said. We also have the Gawker-owned io9.com (or is it io9.gizmodo.com?) also diving into the shallow end of the gene pool with some ill-advised comments about pirating one of the most successful genre films of all time. And J.K. Rowling runs amok in American history, with historical events that weren't... quite... historically accurate. And at the same time she managed to offend quite a few people.
We'll try not to offend as we look at these and other things we saw on the Internet this week, and a lot of it was ... well...
With the official news that we're getting a fifth Indiana Jones film, we take a look at the renowned franchise and discuss the story possibilities and the expectations we have for what could be Harrison Ford's swan song as the swashbuckling archaeologist. Will he pass the fedora to Mutt? Will he drink of the magic elixir that transforms him into Chris Pratt?
And what of Rick Deckard? With the demise of Han Solo, Harrison Ford's other beloved franchise character, and with the likely demise of the Blade Runner in the line of duty, could we be seeing Ford's Farewell Tour?
We spend so much time talking about what everyone else is doing. Studios. Networks. We talk about movies. We talk about TV shows. We talk about books. But it's been pointed out that the two of us actually work on things, too, so here we are kicking around a few details on the pies that hold our fingers.
For Mr. Harvey, it's the task of art direction on the web series Paradox City, as well as editing our sister site, Horror4Me.com.For Mr. Hunt, it's keeping up with all the information, news, and rumors coming over the wire here at World HQ, plus working with new clients on TV commercials.
Pilot season. No rabbits or ducks to be seen, but plenty of new faces on new shows. This week, we talk about all the casting news that's come down the pipeline over the last couple of weeks, with surface-level analysis of some of the shows, and a look at some of the new movies that have started to announce cast members as well.
Plus: is Riverdale going to be genre? And there's a new name attached behind the scenes of the next Star Trek series at CBS.
This week, in our musings about our topic, we wander into a whole mess of topics -- the Hugo Awards, public libraries, politics and social commentary, as well as a thought or two on the upcoming remake of Battlestar Galactica. Do we need it? Do we want it? And kids these days... the discussion touches on the quality of schools, the reading lists for students, the conspiracy to dumb down America, and a burst of an idea for a new column on SciFi4Me.
Plus, we touch on a couple of topics we've got coming up: an alleged incident at a local con and casting news for the new pilot season just around the corner.
It was only a matter of time, according to director James Gunn: the suits would look at the success of Deadpool and learn the wrong lessons. And it's not like it would be a new thing. Just take a look at what's been going on over at Warner Bros. with regard to the DC Comics properties.
Can you make an R-rated superhero movie? Sure. Should you? Maybe. Maybe not. Like everything else, it depends on the story. And while DC looks to be re-tooling its comics line-up to better appeal to disgruntled fans, is there a looming shake-up at WB that would leave Zach Snyder in the cold? And would the suits at WB be able to make better decisions about their characters? It all ties together in this extended edition of H2O.

Paramount Pictures and CBS are suing the Axanar production. Marvel issued a take-down order on X-Men: Danger Room Protocols. And there's this copyright infringement case that looks to be headed to the Supreme Court. The argument, over whether or not cheerleader uniforms can be protected under copyright, has some wondering if there will be implications for cosplayers.
Is the era of fan-created art coming to an end? Don't forget to ask us your questions for our 100th episode: h2o@scifi4me.com and #H2Opodcast100
"Steven Moffat is leaving Doctor Who, and the show is in peril! Whatever shall we do? It's a disaster!"
"Steven Moffat is leaving Doctor Who! Break out the keg! Woo hoo!"
Take your pick; there's no denying that Steven Moffat has both fans and detractors who will be reacting very strongly to his departure from the show. And what does this mean for Peter Capaldi's presence? How long will he last as the Doctor? And what will the schedule do for audience numbers?
MoffatWatch begins:
'Tis a great time to be a geek, as many have noted. And while sometimes we're a bit overwhelmed by how much there is to talk about, we come around eventually — settling in on the fact that we've got so much genre programming to watch these days.
Which is your favorite? Sound off in the comments.
This week, genre fans — and the general population — have had plenty of reason to mourn. The loss of David Bowie and Alan Rickman, both finally losing their fights with cancer, hit people right where it counts. And for some of us, the impact was more acutely felt. Those of us who are of an age get prompted to take a look around and see who else is out there — celebrities sometimes, but family and friends especially — who are getting close to the age when we start to get a little concerned.
Our discussion this week: how the loss of Bowie and Rickman throw a spotlight on our own sense of mortality.
It's the case that has everyone talking and everyone's an expert!
CBS and Paramount Pictures have filed a lawsuit against the Axanar fan film production, claiming copyright infringement. The million-dollar project has plenty of supporters, and some of them are quite vocal, but the controversy surrounding the lawsuit has bigger implications. Not only could this shut down Axanar, but it could have a long-term impact on the state of fan films in general.
Happy 2016, everyone! It's that time once again. Out with the old, in with the new, and all that. Time to make resolutions that you might (or might not) keep throughout the first month of the year... ahem ... anyway... It's time for us to take a look at all of the great things going on here at SciFi4Me and do an accounting, as it were. Plans and schemes are afoot, and we discuss some of them here — a new host for Salacious Crumbs, the return of Week in Review and 8Bits, and in the process we come up with six resolutions that we fully intend to keep.
- No click-bait headlines
- More social activities for our staff and fans
- Getting SciFi4Me and Horror4Me on more press lists
- More audience participation
- More retrospective work
- More convention coverage — including Worldcon!

In recent years, Syfy has been making the effort to get back to its roots: being a channel dedicated to science fiction. And while it's been hit-and-miss so far, this week we saw three big projects that reinforce the face that Syfy is at least trying. Are they firing all thrusters? Not yet, but it's a solid effort. We discuss The Expanse, The Magicians, and Childhood's End.

This week, Warner Bros. released a new trailer for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and we dissect and analyze it a bit. (For more in-depth discussion on this and other DC TV and movies, be sure to listen to Rogues Gallery.
