KC and Sue sit down for a somewhat freeform discussion about the current state of Hollywood. First, we lay out the difference between adaptions, reboots, remakes, reimaginings, and revivals; and then try really hard to use the correct terms for the remainder of the podcast. We talk about ret-conning versus rebooting; the seven (or maybe 4) different types of stories, and share our theories on why it seems that remakes, reboots, etc just seem to be everywhere.

Riker and the crew are addicted to a game that involves mentally directing a disk into a funnel. When this is achived, the player is "rewarded" by receiving pleasure signals from the device. Kinky.

This episode is another panel from Dragon Con 2013: "Does a Contract negate Non-Consent?" That's a wordy one, but it's a panel from the WhedonUniverse Track , discussing the world of Joss Whedon's short-lived series Dollhouse starring Eliza Dushku. Even though this discussion is more about the world of that Caroline, the actives, and the Dollhouse exist in, I do want to sound the spoiler alert for anyone who has not watched both seasons of the show. Additionally, this panel gets into ethics, the...

Please remember that we both only saw each episode once and that these episodes are "first reactions" to the episode. Don't expect too much analysis.
