America loves a winner!

Anyone watching ? 4 part series.

1st episode was Robots and Cyborgs.

2nd ep - Space exploration.

So far, the interviews and clips are pure GOLD.

Great array of writers,directors, actors, ... INCLUDING NATHAN!!!

There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.

I haven't yet, but I have the first two recorded.

I watched the one on Space last night, then later realized it was Part 2. But that was good because they did talk about Firefly and Nathan was interviewed. I'm also pleased that it is not only about film and TV, with some good discussions about Asimov's Foundation series, Le Guin's Left Hand of Darkness, Herbert's Dune and Robinson's Mars Trilogy.

I may watch Part 1: Robots sometime today.

I can't recall. If there was any mention of Steve Austin, it was a mere mention. Cylons, Skinjobs and C3PO dominated much of what I saw.

Noticeably missing ? Buffy-Bot.

Cyborgs without Terminator? I skipped that question assuming T100 was included.
Austin and Jamie Sommers predate C3PO, for sure.

Oh, there was Terminator, as well as Robby the Robot.

However, I don't recall if Crow T Robot or any other Satellite of Love pals made the list.

I'll certainly be watching again.

Never did catch the 4th installment. Thankfully, upon seeing this thread, I remember I need to watch it now.

That would explain why I've not seen it then.

Really, I had been so busy, forgetting to check and follow up. Seems the first 3 came out, and then ...

There ARE 4 parts, aren't there ? I swore that's how it was promoted. Back in late April.

It's now mid July... hmm.

Since the fourth episode involves time travel, I think they decided to hold it until shortly before Doctor Who returns on August 23.
