Con Memories Part IV - by Steve Vivona

I’m usually more than ready to come home by Sunday because, while these cons are great fun, they’re also exhausting. Sunday started quietly with appearances by astronauts Wally Schira and Alan Bean. Both were fascinating speakers but their connection to the world of sci-fi is somewhat oblique, and I thought we’d be better served with performers, which is not to say I didn’t enjoy their talks.

Episode 92 - Battlestar Galactica 1.0

On this episode of GFR, Carlos and James discuss the original Battlestar Galactica, including the show's development, the inevitable comparisons to Star Wars (including the infamous lawsuit), it's toys and merchandising.  Presented to you in SENSURROUND; whatever that was back then.
