Post 5 of 6: Starlost Episode Guide

11) STARLOST EPISODE GUIDE

Following on our March virtual meeting’s article about the creation of the ignominious, early-’70s, Canadian-made sci-fi program The Starlost, we offer this afternoon a brief episode guide! Star SF writer Harlan Ellison created the series but famously walked off the show before the first episode had even aired, unhappy with budget cuts, the niggling and nonsensical changes made by producers to his pilot script, and what he characterized as the dumbing down of his concept. The resulting series was not well received and quickly tanked, earning from TV critics and fans alike an “honoured” place in the pantheon of truly bad sci-fi TV shows!

Join us, as well, on our Zoom for discussion and video clips!

Title: Voyage of Discovery (Pilot Episode)

Written by Cordwainer Bird; Directed by Harvey Hart; Original Airdate, September 22, 1973

Devon is a young man who questions much about his small world, an Amish-like agrarian community called Cypress Corners. He loves Rachel, and she him, but according to the Elders, the “Creator” has ordained that she marry his friend Garth. Devon refuses to accept this, is accused of blasphemy, and later discovers that the “Creator” is, in fact, one of the Elder’s speaking through a voice machine. Devon realizes that the strict laws under which his people live are not those of the Creator at all, but simply the wishes of the deceitful Elders. He attempts to expose this truth but is chased into the hills and escapes capture through a mysterious door on which is marked “Beyond is Death!”

On the other side of the door Devon finds that Cypress Corners is but one of many “biospheres,” modules attached to a giant spaceship carrying the survivors of the dead planet Earth to a new home among the distant stars. However, some kind of accident has thrown this galactic Noah’s Ark off course and set the vessel on a fatal collision course with a “Class G solar star.” Yes, a solar star!

And so is set up the premise of the series.

Devon returns to Cypress Corners to tell of what he has discovered, but is silenced by the Elders and condemned to death. With a sympathetic Garth’s help, he escapes his holding cell. Garth implores him to run away, and to just leave Rachel alone, but Devon steals away into the night to fetch Rachel, and the couple escape through the door together, where Devon begins showing Rachel the astounding wonders of the ship. Meanwhile, Garth volunteers to follow after them and bring Rachel back home. He soon finds his quarry, but Rachel refuses to return with him to Cypress Corners. Garth reluctantly decides to join Devon and Rachel in their strange adventure.

These three form the heroic group that will explore the Ark every week, travelling from biosphere to biosphere, adventure to adventure, searching for a way to save the great ship.

Norman Klenman’s rewrite of Harlan Ellison’s original “Phoenix Without Ashes” teleplay was the shooting script used for this series opening episode. An unhappy Ellison had obliged producers to scrub his name from the credits as writer and substitute his notorious Cordwainer Bird pseudonym, which he employed whenever he was acutely chagrined at someone having severely messed with his work. This mocking pen name was used as Ellison’s series-creator credit, too, appearing boldly onscreen at the beginning of every episode, much to the displeasure of producers.

Title: Lazarus From the Mist (Episode 2)

Written by Douglas Hall and Don Wallace; Directed by Leo Orenstein; Original Airdate, September 29, 1973

Our trio locate a medical center and while Garth attempts to hold off a band of scruffy ruffians who live in the access tubes outside the facility, Devon and Rachel enter to bring one of the Ark’s designers and engineers out of cryonic suspension in hopes that he might know how to save the ship. These specialists of indispensable skill were preserved so that they could be brought back in future when needed. But the man they revive happens to be a communication’s specialist, not an engineer or pilot, and in any case was placed in cryonic sleep because he’d been afflicted with a deadly “radiation virus” that will kill him within a couple of hours now that he’s been awakened. They put him back in deep-freeze, never thinking, apparently, of trying to revive another of the individuals frozen there who might be better able to help them save the Ark.

Title: The Goddess Calabra (Episode 3)

Written by Martin Lager from a story by Ursula K. Le Guin; Directed by Harvey Hart; Original Airdate, October 6, 1973

Our heroes enter the Omicron biosphere, where they believe can be found information that will help them save the Ark, and are quickly intercepted by a squadron of guards whose attire suggests an amalgam of Roman centurion and glam rock cover band! Awestruck at the sight of Rachel, they kneel in adoration, believing her to be their Goddess, Calabra. Taken to Omicron’s governor, Rachel and her companions learn that this is a martial, all-male society. And the governor has designs on Rachel!

Title: The Pisces (Episode 4)

Written by Norman Klenman; Directed by Leo Orenstein; Original Airdate, October 13, 1973

The small scout ship Pisces returns to the Ark after completing a ten-year mission searching for habitable planets. But time displacement is at play, here; the Pisces has been away for over 400 years, Ark-time, and the commander and his crew are beginning to feel the effects of space senility!

Title: Children of Methuselah (Episode 5)

Written by Jonah Royston and George Ghent from a story by Jonah Royston; Directed by Joseph L. Scanlan; Original Airdate, October 20, 1973

Devon, Rachel, and Garth may have found the Ark’s back-up bridge! But they discover, instead, a crew on children manning a flight simulator. Problem is, the youngsters don’t realize this, believe they’ve actually been navigating the Ark, and dismiss Devon’s claim that the ship is damaged and off course!

Title: And Only Man is Vile (Episode 6)

Written by Shimon Wincelberg; Directed by Ed Richardson; Original Airdate, October 27, 1973

Entering bucolic “Leisure Village,” our Cypress Corners nomads are unaware that they have walked into a scientist’s cruel experiments regarding human behaviour! Garth falls for the scientist’s assistant, who has been manipulating him and the others for the purposes of the experiment.

Title: The Alien Oro (Episode 7)

Written by Mort Forer and Marion Waldman; Directed by Joseph L. Scanlan; Original Airdate, November 3, 1973

Star Trek’s Walter “Ensign Chekov” Koenig guest stars as the titular alien in this episode, an explorer from the planet Xar whose flying saucer crashes into the much larger Ark, stranding him aboard.

Devon, Rachel, and Garth discover that Oro has been cannibalizing the Ark for parts to rebuild his ship, and plans to take with him on his return to Xar the woman with whom Garth has fallen in love!

Title: Curcuit of Death (Episode 8)
Sildenafil http://cute-n-tiny.com/tag/thanksgiving/ viagra online citrate effectively improves blood circulation, regulates the production of cGMP molecules that help the blood to flow at faster rate to the penis causes erection.

Our heroes are brought in chains before Mr. Smith, president of the heavily industrialized, militaristic biosphere Manchester, who suspects them to be enemy infiltrators or saboteurs. Our heroes must contend with a mad, paranoid, harsh, industry-über-alles, gun-happy society of savage atrocities, lies, deception, betrayal, threats, murder, a Monty Pythonesque method of dealing with the dead, and even a gun fight and gas warfare before they are able to slip safely out of this nightmarish dome unseen.

Title: Astro-Medics (Episode 11)

Written by Paul Schnieder and Martin Lager; Directed by George McCowan; Original Airdate, December 1, 1973

Devon is seriously injured pulling Garth out of a dangerous situation and an orbiting medical ship is dispatched to render aid.

Title: The Implant People (Episode 12)

Written by Helen French and Martin Lager; Directed by Joseph L. Scanlan; Original Airdate, December 8, 1973

A monarch’s power-hungry servant plots to rule their biosphere, in which the poor starve and the elites are forced to suffer implants that inflict pain! When he takes Rachel and Garth hostage, will the elites find the courage to step up?

Oro returns, offering to repair the Ark’s faulty systems and fly the great ship to Xar, where he proposes to settle all of the Ark’s people, claiming the planet is much as Earth was. But Devon discovers he is lying and must engage Oro in a robot-monitored debate to the death!

Title: Farthing’s Comet (Episode 14)

Written by Douglas Hall; Directed by Ed Richardson; Original Airdate, December 22, 1973

Title: The Beehive (Episode 15)

Written by Norman Klenman; Directed by Bill Davis and an uncredited George McCowan; Original Airdate, December 29, 1973

Giant bees! Okay, I’ll give you a little more information than that! A dome dedicated to a tropical garden and lab cultivates millions of bees to pollinate the plants on humanity’s eventual new home world, but the head scientist is breeding giant, mutant bees with the ability to take over human minds!

Title: Space Precinct (Episode 16)

Written by Martin Lager; Directed by Joseph L. Scanlan; Original Airdate, January 5, 1974

Garth decides to go back home and says goodbye to his companions, only to find himself recruited by the Ark’s police force, who are working with police from an alien system to avert an interplanetary war. Their efforts, however, are being thwarted from within!

This seemed to me like a storyline that might lead to a spin-off series featuring Garth as a space cop, but it proved the last episode to be broadcast before the show was unceremoniously cancelled.

Two more episodes were in the pipeline at the time, “God That Died” and “People in the Dark,” but of course, where never produced.

Post 2 of 6: Comedy, Parody, and Puns in F&SF

Comedy, Parody, and Puns in Fantasy & Science Fiction Presented by Joe Aspler

Science fiction and fantasy have a long history of taking themselves seriously. Very seriously. All too seriously. There have been successful SF and fantasy humourists of course. In recent months I talked about the fractured fantasies of Terry Pratchett and Tom Holt. However, humour in hard science fiction is rarer. A good parody is a joy to behold. There have been some good parodies …. And some not so good. In the next hour, I’ll give examples of humour, parodies, and puns in science fiction and fantasy. Professional warning: you will find some real science and some real science jokes here.

Post 1 of 6: Opening

This is post 1 of 6 related posts which together make up our May 8, 2021, DIY, Virtual MonSFFA Meeting.

1) QUICK CORONAVIRUS UPDATE!

It has come down to a race between the vaccines and the variants!

Québec is faring fairly well through this third wave. While the variant forms of the coronavirus are far more transmissible—and if some cases, rather deadlier—than the original, this necessitating enhanced restrictions in some areas, the good news is that the vaccine supply has largely stabilized and is robust, with hundreds of thousands of doses now arriving regularly. The roll-out is proceeding apace and by the end of next week, all adults in Quebec will be eligible for a first jab, so book your appointment as soon as possible! To date, almost 50 percent of Québec’s adult population has received at least that first shot, and with the recent approval of Pfizer’s vaccine for children as young as 12 years old, officials expect that teens will have had their initial dose by the end of June, with the second to follow before the start of the next school year.

All good! We anticipate an almost normal summer, so hang on just a while longer. And even if you have had your first shot, continue to practice all recommended safety protocols so as to protect those who have not yet received theirs.

2) HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!

Tomorrow is Mother’s Day! For those of you fortunate enough to still have your mom, give her a big hug, and if that’s not possible, call to wish her a happy Mother’s Day. It has been an especially difficult year for us all, separated from family as so many are, so she will surely appreciate hearing from you. We can all take the opportunity of this day in particular to celebrate with fondness our beloved moms!

3) MEMBERSHIP RENEWALS

 We remind club members that MonSFFA has resumed the collection of annual membership fees beginning officially in April. Note that every active club member has benefitted from a full year of fees-free membership.

For most MonSFFen, our 2020 renewal dates now become 2021 renewal dates. So if your annual membership fees were due in May 2020, that’s been bumped up a year to May 2021. If your fees were due last June, they are now due this upcoming June, July 2020 to July 2021, and so on.

But what about those few MonSFFen who had, in fact, paid their fees last year, most prior to pandemic lockdowns going into effect and our suspension of in-person meetings? These folk, then, having paid last year’s fees, will not miss out on the fees-free year enjoyed by their fellow club members; their annual fees will next become due beginning in 2022.

Of course, we welcome back any former members who may have let lapse their memberships, and we invite to join our ranks any prospective members who may have discovered the club via our virtual meetings.

Note that there is no change to our fee structure. A standard one-year membership is still only $25; the premium Platinum Level membership, $35; a family membership (up to four people, single postal mailing address), $40; and the Platinum Family Level, $50. Make your cheques or money orders out to “MonSFFA” and mail to our new postal mailing address:

4) TODAY’S MEETING: INTRODUCTION

As we gather online for this month’s virtual club meeting, we take a moment to strongly encourage all MonSFFen to get their vaccine shot as soon as available, and to please continue to take all possible precautions in order to keep themselves and others as protected from the virus as can be. It is especially important that we not let up on those safety protocols prematurely.

This is our 14th virtual MonSFFA meeting. The afternoon’s get-together will unfold right here on the club’s Web site over the course of the next few hours, beginning with this first post, and followed by subsequent posts at 1:30PM, 2:30PM, 3:00PM, and 4:00PM, with a concluding post at 4:30PM. All content will also be available concurrently on MonSFFA’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/MonSFFA), however, note that the interface best suited for taking in this meeting is this very Web site.

Today we’ll be talking comedy, parody, and puns in SF/F, scale-modelling, feature a brief Starlost episode guide, and more!

We will officially open today’s Zoom chat at 1:30PM, running in parallel to the Web site-based content that will be put up throughout the afternoon. Our Zoom will afford folk opportunity to catch-up, chat about the disappointment of Godzilla vs. Kong, and discuss with or ask questions of our presenters directly. If our Zoom is interrupted, that’s likely a temporary technical glitch, but this weekend, could also be an errant rocket booster falling out of the sky and crashing through our roof! Just refresh.

As we cannot yet safely assemble in person, this May virtual meeting has been prepared especially for you, MonSFFA’s membership. Sit back, check out each of the afternoon’s posts, scroll down leisurely through the proffered content, and enjoy!

And don’t forget to comment on what we’ve presented. Let us know what you think of specific topics or the meeting overall. Your input helps us to tailor these virtual meetings for maximum interest and enjoyment.

Third Presentation: Starlost Episode Guide, Keith Braithwaite

Following on our March virtual meeting’s e-article about the creation of the ignominious, early-’70s, Canadian-made sci-fi program The Starlost, we offer a brief illustrated episode guide! Star SF writer Harlan Ellison created the series but famously walked off the show before the first episode had even aired, unhappy with budget cuts, the niggling and nonsensical changes made by producers to his pilot script, and what he characterized as the dumbing down of his concept. The resulting series was not well received and quickly tanked, earning from TV critics and fans alike an “honoured” place in the pantheon of truly bad sci-fi TV shows!
