Just finished the first half... you guys have great chemistry, the dialog between the three of you seem to flow effortlessly and is really enjoyable to listen to. Being that this is the first podcast I've been able to catch since the second one, you guys have really 'tuned up' your presentation. So outside of simply appreciating the content I really want to give you guys a nod for your production value was well. Keep 'em coming!Comment

Great Pod cast guys!
Regarding the Android Sister, I happen to own a copy of the "Encyclopedia Galactica" (courtesy of my 1978 geek-i-ness). This book is so full of typos and made-up stuff that was never seen in any of the episodes. The girls are listed in the same entry as being from the planet Tucan also spelled like the bird, Toucan. For Brian, here is the entry he read oh so long ago:
From the book:
"Tucan is a planet inhabited by intelligent humanoids who have long been friendly to the Colonial humans. The Tucana are a sophisticated people who export high technology throughout the galaxy. Several Tucana musicians have also gained great popularity in the Colonies. The Tucana are hermaphrodites, that is, each individual has the attributes of the two sexes. In fact they have two sets of eyes and two mouths, each controlled by a distinct part of the brain. In a very real sense, each Tucana is not one person, but two.
Picture caption: (which is what you remembered in the podcast) The Toucana's broad visual range protected their forest-dwelling ancestors from the large hostile predators of prehistoric Toucan"
Also, just to let Jason know, I vote Alan Oppenheimer for the number #1 displayed Rudy head in the packagingIt's all good!Comment

I'm happy for everyone, and the mego stuff is still alive even in this economic mess, but; "Where's my Nurse Chapel, my No. 2, my Yeoman Rand? And I want a new Mego Trek Playset; maybe a box that unfolds into a planetscape with the Gallileo shuttle, some plastic "rock features", wierd aquarium type plant things, and a monster/alien creature...! More Mego TOS Trek please!?
