The Skiffy and Fanty Show 5: Zombies, Twilight, and a Dash of Crazy

Original Art by Dirk Reul; Adapted by Alt Jade Designs
Episode #5 is a little shorter than the last few, but that’s because we have a special main event, which you’ll have to discover by listening (plus, the tension between Adam and Shaun gets bigger and better!).

The question of the week is:  Do you think science fiction must have accurate science to be called science fiction?  Or do you think that the science must be integral to the plot/story for something to be called science fiction?  Feel free to email your answers to skiffyandfanty [at] gmail [dot] com or send us a voicemail at 206-203-1686!  You can also leave a comment here or follow us on twitter.

Note:  The first attempt to record this episode ended in disaster due to some unusual technological glitch.  We’ve since re-recorded the news and ending bits.  Hopefully it turned out okay!

Here’s the episode:

  1. I have to say – I’m utterly terrified of what might be done to Diamond Age in the hands of SyFy. They ruin so many wonderful things. That said, I’m a huge fan of Eureka so maybe there’s hope.

  2. As for the question (I know, I’m terrible at only leaving one comment) – Accurate science is not necessary for a book to be Science Fiction. It’s generally what I prefer, but I’ve read some amazing Science Fiction that is totally full of crap. There’s a reason they call the stuff with REAL science “Hard Sci-fi”, ya dig?

  3. Thanks for your insight. I think Shaun and I may have a knock-out, drag-down brawl when it comes to this subject. I can’t wait!
