Did the emotional Scanner stop the inventor from being murdered in the end, or otherwise get his discovery public? It sounded like an interesting tale, and spin on space travel.
Yes. Also, the method the scientist came up with is weirdly uplifting.

Well this is embarrassing; a new episode dropped four days ago, and I only just noticed it:
It's an interesting observation I've not thought of before, but I feel like they kinda de-emphasize the extent to which Leto's advisers allowed their distrust of Jessica to blind them to the true traitor.

New episode.
I can't decide if I'm pleased someone else it posting in this thread, or annoyed at getting scooped.
Anyways, that's a pretty nifty analysis (though using imagery from the Gulf War to discuss the '70s feels a little iffy)

I'm kind of annoyed that they name-checked The Windup Girl as an example of ecological scifi, because I thought that book had an incredibly stupid premise with terrible science.
That doesn't prevent it from being an example of the genre, though?

New episode.
This season is over next one is about dystopias and apocalypses.

Huh, they come to the same conclusion as the Thug Notes review:
A rather appropriate follow-up, since you could make a case for LOTR being post-apocalyptic and Dune being about a dystopia.

They better feature Michael Moorcock then. His History of the Runestaff series is literally set in a postapocalyptic world, the Elric Saga straight has an apocalypse happening during the final book, the world of Jerry Cornelius is getting real close to an apocalypse, and the godlike Denizens of the End of Time are partying while the universe ends around them.

I believe Dan's new channel is Playshapes(just look up Extra Credts Dark Souls and you should find the channel). I think he left do to stuff regarding the gravely voiced dude who does the Lies videos.
