The Starshipsofa is burning around the universe discussing various areas of science fiction. So far they’ve covered Alfred Bester, John Brunner, Algis Budrys, Cordwainer Smith, Stanislaw Lem and most recently a John Carpenter’s movie Dark Star.

They have also put up a poll around The Top Woman In Scifi, including Princess Leia, Star Wars (which is my number one!); Billy Piper, Doctor Who (no thank you); Leela, Futurama (if anyone votes for her, then well.. hello padded cell); Daryl Hannah, Blade Runner (in my top ten, but she just doesn’t do it for me - too weird). I’m just wondering where Philip K Dick’s Dark Haired Lady is? Or the females from Blake’s 7?

Starshipsofa is an enjoyable and sometimes hilarious look at some aspects of science fiction which sometimes go a miss. One thing is for certain, you’ll always laugh at least once while listening to their shows.

I’ve finally installed the code for the polls, so click away!!

It’s always interesting to see what people think and I’ll rotate them every week or so to give them freshness, please click on them. Ta!

And I suppose if you’ve got any ideas on what poll should appear, you can comment or directly talk to us and you’ll be in with a chance to win something suitably scifi for any particularly creative ideas.
