Today’s crew is Carl (@robominister), Darrell (@thevoice123), Cat (@fancyfembot), and Eric (@Bullitt33). Today we discuss Disney’s John Carter and the latest episode of The Walking Dead (@59:05). We took a detour and discussed Skyline, someone actually LIKED it but hated Paranormal Activity.
IT’S A SCI-FI EMERGENCY! Terra Nova has been canceled and we need to vent and mourn it’s passing. Yes, we pick at the bones on the corpse but that’s only because there is genuine love there. Beware, there is some MAJOR soap-boxing going on.

And yes, we managed to get the obligatory dig at Heroes this week!
“The turds will be minimally turdage, not the ones that inflicted the full bowel of last year.”
-Carl (@robominister) on our Annual Sci-Fi Turd Off
“Every movie is not supposed to be Americanized and wrapped and chewed up and regurgitated and fed to you like a baby bird.”

“Aliens that use lassos bother me. When you got space ships using grappling hooks; that offends me… You can defy gravity, you get all the way here and you are going to rope people?”
-Carl (@robominister) on Cowboys & Aliens
It’s the end of the year and we have a two-hour show jam packed full of the best and worst science fiction TV shows and movies of the year. Today’s crew is Cat and Carl. We kick off the show with the barely promoted In Time. After that we give the rules for our Second Annual Sci-Fi Turd Off (@15:51). We do a brief review of Cowboys & Aliens (@23:38) prior to putting Cowboys & Aliens and Transformers: Dark of the Moon head to head in this year’s Turd Off (@42:25). We cool off by talking about our favorite sci-fi movies of the year (@1:04:19) but get agitated again by discussing the sci-fi TV turds of the year (@1:15:40). We couldn’t end the show without a mention of SyFy’s holiday specials for Eureka, Warehouse 13, and Haven (@1:32:40). Finally, we wrap up by discussing the movies that we are anticipating in 2012 (@1:36:08).
Thank you all for a wonderful year. It wouldn’t be fun without YOU, the listeners!

Anne McCaffery passed away on November 21, 2011. For lovers of her books, her death was a tragic literary loss. In this episode of Sci-Fi Party Line we take you back to a 2007 episode of the Lipstick Aliens podcast when Lynne got a chance to interview Anne McCaffery.

Today’s crew is Eric, Carl, and Cat. We discuss the then current breaking news about the Peter Yates Doctor Who movie which turns into a discussion about Inspector Spacetime and Community. After that we get right into Terra Nova (@8:08). We also include Fringe (@25:55), Grimm (@37:52), Sanctuary (45:50), and Eric gets sacrilegious about Buffy and Supernatural.
“Red skin, red shirt, red neck; that man will die very quickly.”

“Everyone knows that flares stop being shiny after awhile. They stop being a distraction after awhile and that was their plan?!”
-Stephanie (NiNi, now known as Ni) (@stephbystereo)
Today’s crew is Will, Stephanie, and Cat. We discuss the second season of The Walking Dead, American Horror Story (@38:58), and all versions of The Thing (@1:01:15).

We also talk about Warehouse 13 @ 28:50, Terra Nova @ 47:52, Fringe @ 1:05:19, and Star Wars: The Clone Wars @ 1:11:30. There were honorable mentions of NTSF:SD:SUV, The Sarah Jane Adventures, Pirates of Silicon Valley, Alphas, Torchwood, and Person of Interest.
“They blew their budget in the first episode and from now on we’re going to be Stargating it on Planet Canada for the rest of the season.”
-Carl (@robominister)
Today Cat and Carl discuss the pilot episode of Terra Nova, the return of Fringe (@39:43) and Supernatural (57:36), and the second to the last episode of series six of Doctor Who (1:07:51). Carl complains about the Terra Nova cast being too attractive. Cat is excited that alternate universe Broyles is back in a tight t-shirt. You must listen to how Carl compares Doctor Who to Magnum P.I.!
Today’s crew is Carl, Steph, and Cat. We discuss the recent film Rise of the Planet of the Apes. At 36:16 Carl tells us a naughty Dragon Con story that he held. At 47:24 we do our sci-fi fan duty and gripe about the new Star Wars Blu-ray release.
Girl show! Steph joins Cat and they have loads of fun. They start with Nightmare on Elm Street then get to the main event: the movie review of Fright Night. Cat’s new found love for Colin Farrell has her excited about the new Total Recall (24:12). Total Recall leads to a discussion about The Lost Boys and the other two Lost Boys films that you may not have heard of or seen. Of course Steph took a minute to wax poetic about Apollo 18. Steph also gives our first Sci-Fi Party Line orgasm. You won’t believe what it was in response to. Later in the show Steph tries to sell Cat on Paranormal Activity and Ghost Hunters (57:25). We’ll let you guess how that went. Cat reveals that she will be attending another viewing of Evil Dead: The Musical this for Halloween this year (56:35). The show ends with song from the soundtrack of Evil Dead: The Musical, “Do the Necronomicon”.
Darrell joins Cat and Hanako to discuss the shocking True Blood season finale. Hanako gives us her Dragon Con report (1:01:10). She got to interview the cast of Being Human and ran into Joe Manganiello, Jim Beaver, Wil Wheaton, and Colin Ferguson.
