Some of these include: - Robert Heinlen, his unique protrayals of women, and of course why he is so very much (dis)liked. - David Brin and Startide Rising, which has to be the most talked about novel in sf-lover's history, is back again with a discussion of the aliens protrayed in that novel, and exactly how "believable" they are believed to be. This possibly could be overflowing into a general discussion of aliens and what is "real". - More Worst Sci-Fi (term used in the derogatory sense) Movies - Santa Claus Conquers the Martians - Fire Maidens from Outer Space A possible new discussion could be of David Bowie's character in song of Major Tom, in the original and in the later "spin-offs". Although just mildly going now, this could bloom into a new major topic. [ihuxp!wbpesch]
