At the SciFi Diner Tonight, we serve up trivia, what is going on with our favorite YV shows for Christmas, Christmas on our Sci Fi Shows, NASA finds what they think is an earth like planet, Miles reviews of Trek Nation, Peter Weller takes over the new Star Trek movie, and Scott shares his top 5 worst Star Wars' lines.

In our ninth episode of the SciFi Diner Classic, we interview author Dayton Ward (Star Trek, Counterstrike, Zombiefied). Since we do a news and interview show, it goes without saying that the news portion of our episodes often date themselves fast. And while the interviews with the people that make Science Fiction happen remain relevant and in our opinion important, most listeners will not listen back 100 episodes and wade through old news just to get to the interview. So what the SciFi Diner Classic aims to do is to share these interviews with you. If you have been with us from the beginning, then bear with us as we introduce some of our newer listeners to voices from the past. We're bringing you just the interview and nothing else.

Tonight, the diner is decorated all sorts of Christmas-like, we're serving up great conversation, and we're giving away some awesome gifts. We're so glad you joined us. The main part of our show will be sharing what is on our geeky Christmas lists this year. For some reason everything John picked was from ThinGeek 8^) We announce our ThinkGeek Contest winners and share some of your awesome lists. We also talk about a nonprofit that we woukld love for you to support: The Haitian Connection Network. We also talk about Sci Fi themed restaurants, the new Alcatraz trailer has us remembering what we loved about Lost, Star Trek 13 Release Date, Life after Trek Pod Cast talks w/ Rod Roddenberry, and Trek Nation News.

In this listener feedback show, we discuss a Superhero Thanksgiving, shows on Hiatus, the Walking Dead, Terra Nova, Richardo Montoban, The Immortals, The Green Lantern, and Batman: Year One. Wayne has some questions about Fringe, Kevin discusses his awesome talent of watching 12 genre shows each week, and Kahless schools Scott on the correct pronunciation of Mozart. Live long and podcast!
