On October 5, 1973, THE STARLOST’s 4th episode hit the airwaves. In it, our intripid heroes witness the return of a lost shuttle, The Pisces. But does the Pisces bring help? Or does it bring a trio of space-sick people who think they’ve been gone for ten years only to find they’ve been gone for a few centuries? (Spoiler, they don’t help much.)

This week, Ben is joined by Alex Bates, a writer, reviewer, and roleplaying miniature designer/modeler to talk about:
* Space diseases
* Time dilation
* Ben Bova’s opinion of the show
* The head writer’s opinion of Ben Bova

Just to keep things going . . . (the counter is not how many times we mention them, just if they get mentioned in an episode…)
* Star Trek counter – IIII
* Red Dwarf counter – IIII
* Doctor Who counter – III
* The Littlest Hobo – II
