Sci Fi Noise Episode 3: Age In Sci Fi

Derek — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 22:49:18 +0000

Host Derek Coward talks about how age is approached in science fiction and includes Logan’s Run and the Star Trek franchise in his talk.

BTW: There is a remake for Logan’s Run in the works. They have lowered the age to 21. To me, this is ridiculous beyond normal bounds. At least by 29, there is the ability to accumulate knowledge and pass it on. I am of the opinion, this cannot be done by the age of 21. But then again, no one asked me my opinion.

However, here’s Farrah in Logan’s Run.
