Somewhere out in the forgotten depths of space, near the borders of the Klingon, Minbari, and Cylon empires floats Starbase 66. This lonely island of civilization is manned by a triumvirate of uber-nerds whose knowledge of Star Trek, and Science Fiction is as vast as the uncharted depths of the cosmos. Join the Admiral, Lieutenant Ro Karen, and Lieutenant Kennedy as they while away the hours between canasta games with Dave in the brig by discussing anything and everything Trek and/or SciFi. No medium is off limits as they talk about television, movies, books, graphic novels, toys, and even graphic arts and news. Join them and their frequent guest stars from all over the world for a sometimes serious, sometimes silly, but always interesting talk about your favorite forays into the multiverse of speculative fiction. Hosted by: Rick Tetrault, Ro Karen and Kennedy Gordon
In the second half of our discussion of movies based on comic books we are joined by Rick’s friend Dave who knows a helluva lot more about this stuff than the Admiral.

This week, after about twenty minutes of our usual banter and news, we close the lid and take our Avatars out for a walkabout on Pandora. Did we like the mega-blockbuster? You might be surprised.

While we move inexorably into 2010, here’s a final glance back into 2009. Last month a strange glowing spiral lit the night sky over Norway sparking much debate, and ultimately a Russian mea culpa. This week we talk about UFOs, monsters, and what we do, or should believe in.

Greetings, Folks,
We at the Starbase want to wish you all a very safe and happy holiday season. We’re going on some much-needed shore leave, so there won’t be any shows til after the New Year, but we’ll use this breather to come back stronger than ever in 2010. So from all of us to all of you, live long and prosper, and may the Force be with you.
As our Christmas present to you, here is the stuff that was too screwed up or silly to put in the final shows. Enjoy.
