This time our hulking lizardman and tiny seagull look at animals in science fiction. So that is uplifted earth creatures and coincidentally similar aliens with special attention on:

• Planet of the Apes in its sundry incarnations
• David Brin's Uplift Saga magnus opus
• Adrian Tchaikovsky's Children of Time
• Cat girls and anthropomorphic Space Aliens
• With nods to other pulp and hard SF takes on the tropes.
• And we utterly fail to cover Elephant Men despite wanting to
• Matt's bookshelf features Rome which will be a surprise.

Pray dear listeners it's our conclusions episode next so let's have your feedback and ideas - emails and mp3s to [email protected] or find us on FACEBOOK or @dissectingwrlds on Twitter.

Back from festive indulgences, Dissectingbots K33-R and M4-T take a look at the constructed creatures that inhabit science fiction worlds as servants and slaves - whether the world admits that or not. We talk about:

• Droids in the Star Wars Universe (excluding The Force Awakens, so we’re spoiler free) and robots in general
• Replicants in Blade Runner and other “biological” servants
• Legal grey areas in growing your own humans (or sub-humans)
• Emotional Distance and how easy society finds it to ignore real injustices, and how that applies to Droid/Replicant rights
• ...and more!

Keehar has a bumper-length bookshelf on period weaponry for all your time-travelling needs. Links to what he discusses are:
