We take a little break this week to allow the re-watches to catch up with us. In between Chuck’s extended anti-Geek-stereotype rant, Sean brings us up to speed on Farscape and Akira, we listen to Chuck defend Nemesis and Asimov (again), discuss sci-fi’s important place in literature, question whether the moon is female, disagree on whether or not the Hitchhiker’s Guide is juvenile lit, compare and contrast Trillians, pick our favorite Lwaxana Troymoment, and pick on Audra about Tracey Gold’s lack of Star Trek appearances.
Thanatos is Freud’s idea of a death instinct. It is opposite of the libido. See “The Ego and the Id” for an awesome mindfrakking. (I was a psychology major and practicing therapist).
Love the podcast. Screw those who can’t handle the tangents!
