    This week at SpockSoc we’re doing a First Episodes Screening. The way this works is we’ll show the first episodes of about five or six brand new series. If I remember to print them out ahead of time, I’ll hand out a slip you can use to rate each series. The one (and maybe two)…

    This week we’ll be showing the Day of the Triffids miniseries, made in 2009 – we’d meant to show it last session, but due to a miscalculation on my part, we didn’t get to see it. Following this, we’ll most likely show the movie Wall-E – I’d intended to show Futurama, but since we’ve wound…

    I hope you enjoyed your holidays, did well in your courses last session, and weren’t crippled too much by the NTEU. It’s back to uni for session two (already!) and we’ve got events every week like always. I’ve still not quite hammered out a full schedule, but I’ll have it done soon. Honest. In any…
