Gom Jabbar: A Dune Podcast

Relay: Pantheon Season 1, Episodes 1-4

Listen Later

Abu and Leo dig into Pantheon, the wildly underrated animated sci-fi series almost nobody watched. Across the first four episodes they wrestle with what the show has to say about mortality, capitalism, and the promises we make about new technology. It is bold, timely, occasionally rough around the edges, and exactly the kind of science fiction they want more of.

This episode contains SPOILERS for Pantheon Season 1 and for Ken Liu's short stories "The Gods Will Not Be Chained" and "The Gods Will Not Be Slain."

IN THIS EPISODE

  • Why the show's "uploaded intelligence" framing lands harder than Ken Liu's original "consciousness uploading," and what Logorhythms did to David behind his family's back.
  • How the series fleshes out Ellen and David far beyond the page, including the breakup-after-death conversation the short stories leave out entirely.
  • Steven Holstrom, Julius Pope, and the case that Pantheon is really asking whether religion and science were ever separate buckets to begin with.
