This week, John and Eugene begin looking at a new series: Star Maidens, a 1976 TV series co-produced by the United Kingdom and West Germany.

It’s a contemporary (for 1976) look at female equality through the lens of a planet run by women.

This week, Simon and Eugene look at season one, episode four of Real Humans: Semi-human rights.

They discuss non-human rights within the Swedish legal system, whether the uncanny valley is legally mandated, and whether HuBots are capable of actually lying or just crafty deception.

Oh, and maybe they also mention sex with robots.

John and Eugene look at the third “Shin” reimaging movie of classic Japanese science fiction/fantasy properties. This week, it’s 2023’s Shin Kamen Rider.

How well does a movie about human-grasshopper cyborg translate to the big screen?

This week, Fusion Patrol examines the 18th episode of Space Above and Beyond, entitled “Pearly,” where Kenneth and Eugene finally find out why Wang wasn’t court-martialed at the end of Episode 9, why the space jarheads are too stupid to realize that the Chigs talk, and when discretion is the better part of valor when discussing guest actors’ other roles.

This week, Fusion Patrol looks at the two-part Quark episode “All the Emperor’s Quasi-Norms.” John and Eugene ask if American television in the 1970s was ready for full-frontal pollination, why Jean didn’t get equal time with Gene, and if Ficus is the most alien character ever committed to the small screen.

This week, Simon and Eugene examine season 1, episode 3 of Real Humans, “The Lord Shall Be Our Companion.”

When they discuss Swedish search warrants, whether and who Bea is bluffing, double bluffing or triple bluffing, the parallels between the politics of immigration and being anti-Hubot, and, yes, of course, sex with robots.

This episode, we’re celebrating our 700th episode of Fusion Patrol with the film The Day the Earth Stood Still, 1951 edition.

Simon and Eugene discuss whether the film is an appeal to authoritarianism or pacifism, whether the spaceship was guarded by UNIT soldiers, and, of course, Eugene talks about sex with robots.

This week, John and Eugene look at the 1972 film Silent Running.

They discuss the naming order of Huey, Dewey, and Louie, does Eugene find the film as boring now as he did as a child in the 1970s, and how much of a monster is Freeman Lowell for murdering a robot?

This week on Fusion Patrol, Kenneth and Eugene look at the Space: Above and Beyond episode, “Dear Earth,” where they discuss who gets first naming rights for babies in a family, just how good the Marines are at killing sons and daughters, what is the Emily Post-approved length of a “Dear Jane” letter, and whether or not Wang is actually a ground pounder.

This week John and Eugene look at episodes 5 and 8 of Quark.

In episode number 5, “Goodbye, Columbus,” they discuss heirloom peaches, and in episode 8, “Vanessa 38/24/36,” they compare a sentient ultimate computer to Bridget Bardot’s hourglass figure.
