We talk about Doctor Who and why we wish the Doctor would go crazy. we also ponder why don’t we see new superheroes in comics anymore and whether viral marketing can be planned. Also there was a horrible failure with the Google hangout which you can hear after the main episode and explains why we have no video this week.

Ladies and gentlemen, the 2012 season of the FSL is mere weeks away. You can feel the excitement in the air. THREE new teams compete, and with realignment, one of them is guaranteed to make it to the postseason.

In addition to welcoming Winterfell, Rivendell and Lannisport to the FSL West, fans will get to see how Mordor does when they have to face Serenity Valley and Vulcan twice in a season.

The website will shortly (if it hasn’t already) feature updated rosters and schedules for 2012.

We’ll preview all the action June 9th on Dragon SportsTalk Radio with Tom and Justin, so get your shields polished and your laser guns tuned. FSL action is on the way!

We set out to interview author Todd McCaffrey at BayCon 2012, but it ended up turning into a wonderful conversation about dragons, bacteria, space travel, and big ideas. Veronica also gets very flustered when asked to describe an “Anne McCaffrey dragon.”
