Finally...  A topic one of our co-hosts has been itching to talk about and hopefully you've been itching for it too (insert ointment joke here).  We have an open discussion about our all-time Favorite Science Fiction TV Characters.  :) :) :)

Between Parts 1 & 2 of this discussion (this episode is Part 1), we rave about almost 50 amazing, likable, and sometimes important characters and several ensemble casts from over 30 shows.  Some characters we discuss more than others, but included in that discussion, we at least mention characters or ensemble casts from the following shows:

 - Alf

 - Alien Nation

 - Babylon 5

 - Battlestar Galactica (original)

 - Buck Rogers in the 25th Century

 - Chuck

 - Dark Matter

 - Doctor Who

 - Firefly

 - Fringe

 - Greatest American Hero

 - Handmaid's Tale

 - Incredible Hulk

 - Knight Rider

 - Legends of Tomorrow (and Arrow)

 - Mork & Mindy

 - Quantum Leap

 - Six Million Dollar Man

 - Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

 - Star Trek: The Next Generation

 - Star Trek: The Original Series

 - Stargate SG-1

 - Stargate Universe

 - Stranger Things

 - The Orville

 - Transformers

 - Travelers

 - Voltron (Netflix)

 - Voltron (original; Lion Voltron, of course, not Vehicle Voltron)

 - Warehouse 13

 - The X-Files

You have to admit, that's a nice variety.  Our main topics in Part 1 are honorable mentions, female characters, Stargate, and Star Trek, including a side discussion on Data vs. Spock.  Our main topics in Part 2 will be Babylon 5, our respective Top 5 Characters lists, and more honorable (and maybe dishonorable) mentions.

Note (1):  We recorded this discussion on the early evening of January 21, 2021.  In that discussion we included the Babylon 5 character of Ambassador Delenn, played by Mira Furlan, who also played Danielle Rousseau on Lost.  Just 2 or 3 hours later, news hit the internet that, sadly, Mira Furlan had passed away the day before on January 20.  Our condolences go out to family, friends, colleagues, and fans of Mira Furlan.

Note (2):  In case it's not obvious, the "imaginary studio audience" and laugh track in this episode are inspired somewhat by the recent MCU series on Disney+, WandaVision.  As mentioned in the description of our previous episode, life has gotten in the way of podcasting a little lately, so it's unclear how many of our crew are currently watching WandaVision and whether they want to talk about it.  But, *maybe* we'll cover it in a future episode.  Stay tuned for Part 2 of the characters discussion, and please bear with us as we try to get our podcasting schedule back on track.
