Welcome to Episode 52 of Light On Light Through ... "Science Fiction in the New Golden Age of Television" ... It started in the mid-late 1990s with HBO\'s original series, especially "The Sopranos" in 1999.\\xa0 This revolution in television - frank, gritty, real, intellectually sophisticated - soon spread to other cable and old-fashioned network television.\\xa0\\xa0 In the past few years, science fiction has taken a leading role.\\xa0\\xa0 In this podcast - based on a lecture I gave to the Philadelphia Science Fiction Society on 25 January 2008 (at the invitation of Lee Stein and Suzanne Rosin) - I look at the contributions of five science fiction series to this new golden age of television ... Lost, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Journeyman, Battlestar Galactica, and Heroes...
Plus flashes\\xa0... mostly about the continuing Obama revolution, and a little about John "Palpatine" McCain...
