Saturday 4:00 PM: Diversity 2.0
If half the 'Verse was settled from Asia, where were the Asians in
Firefly? Is media casting changing to better reflect global diversity
or has progress effectively stalled since the original Star Trek? Does
Hollywood need some sort of "affirmative casting" plan?

Monday 1:00 PM "Pop Goes the Culture"
"There's no place like home." "I feel like I've fallen down the rabbit
hole." Some fantasy and sci-fi classics have permeated popular culture
to the point that people get the reference without even knowing the
original source material. Is this a good thing or has popular culture
finally jumped the shark?
