Keith and Andrea return with the first of several new episodes. This one was aired live from the ELA Studios in Manhattan. The Roundtable discussion featured authors James Morrow and Thomas M. Disch as they discussed religion in science fiction. We also reveal the nominations for that year's Roundtable Awards. Plus, Keith Reviews, Twenty Nude Dancers: Year Two by Mark Martin and Jim Frenkel is back, taking a look at two new books, The Grail of Hearts by Susan Shwartz and The Summer Queen by Joan D. Vinge.
Trivia Notes: This episode had to be edited for the repeat showings to remove some objectionable contents that unfortunately went out live. It's the nature of the beast.

The second television movie before the series began is a radical shift from the pilot movie. Hosts John S. Drew and Paul K. Bisson discuss the pros and cons of this second movie with Joseph Burns, major contributor to the DVD release of the Six Million Dollar Man series and webmaster of thesix1973.com.
 Joseph Burns was born in Washington D.C., and grew up there until his family moved to California in the late 70's. A film and TV buff, he attended the Film/Video program at UC Santa Cruz, getting his bachelor's in 1996. After Film School, Joe moved to LA and worked in Post Production. He is the editor of "Skywalker: The David Thompson Story," a one hour sports documentary which aired on NBA-TV and was distributed on DVD by Image Entertainment.
In addition to video editing, Joe has developed websites, interactive CD-ROMs and DVDs. He operates the SMDM fan website "The Six 1973" and is a major contributor/admin at The Bionic Wiki. In 2010, he was recruited to advise Time-Life on The Six Million Dollar Man: The Complete Collection, and was interviewed for the set at the Pasadena Rock N' ComiCon last Spring.
Today Joe lives in San Francisco and is the owner of a very large cat named Fritz.

It's the day of Parker's memorial service and as Anibal says a few words on his former security chief's behalf, Parker seems to be getting the final word via his discussion with a young paranormal who can talk to the dead. What does he think of his former collegues and why is he so interested in this one paranormal when he clearly was afraid of them when he was alive?

In 1977, the United States government determined that one in every ten million Americans was gifted with a paranormal ability. It immediately set up a commission to look into the growing phenomenon. It was decided that a special, top-secret research facility was needed to study the matter further. Today, in a world where the paranormal is normal, the unexpected happens within the walls of The Dome.
