Oi! Spaceman: Adventures In Media Criticism

In this episode, Daniel and Shana finish up the E-Space Trilogy with a discussion of Warrior's Gate. And of course a story with the enslavement of an alien race has no particular political significance, right? Also: a discussion of non-determinism and Eastern philosophies, and a bit about the BDSM implications of Romana's torture scene. Main Topic: Warrior's Gate. Anthropomorphic lions. Correction.
