Comments on: My brain is back from vacation http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/09/16/my-brain-is-back-from-vacation/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

Not SD:TNG, of course. Did you mention to Seth how awesome Dragon*Con is and how they should TOTALLY come to Dragon*Con and do SETI and Skeptic talks? And you forgot about Scooby Doo – TOS.

Did you mention to Seth how awesome Dragon*Con is and how they should TOTALLY come to Dragon*Con and do SETI and Skeptic talks?

Well, my brain needs a vacation. I just uploaded the last formatted file for "The Saucer Fleet" to the publisher. Six weeks of 12 - 14 hour days! Your "Death From the Skies" will probably beat it to the shelves, but not by much. Thanks for doing the Foreword! - Jack PS - That's why you haven't seen much of me around here lately.

I had not seen The Skeptologists thing before. I now *pine* for this show. Will we get to see the pilot before it gets picked up? Is there anyone we should write and bug to try to get it into further production? Any consideration of doing it as a webcast type thing? Maybe Felecia and Joss could give you some pointers for that. One way or another, it *has* to become a reality. OMG. I had not seen The Skeptologists thing before. I now *pine* for this show.
