August Giant Sci-Fi Marathon

One day in August I'm going to wake up and then watch TV and write about it until I go to bed. This is the tentative schedule:

1 pm: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, "Band Candy"

1:45 pm: Being Human, "Episode 1"

2:30 pm: Battlestar Galactica, "33"

3:15 pm: The X-Files, "Field Trip"

4 pm: Doctor Who, (2 Classic Who episodes, 25 min each)

5 pm: Heroes, "Company Man"

5:45 pm: Firefly, "Out of Gas"

6:30 pm: BREAK!

7:30 pm: Torchwood, "Random Shoes"

8:15 pm: Dead Like Me, "My Room"

9 pm: Fringe, "Ability"

9:45 pm: Doctor Who, "The Beast Below"

10:30 pm: Pushing Daisies, "Bitches"

I'll write as I watch and focus on these points:

• Basic analysis and comparison of the shows/episodes
• Common themes
• What is science fiction?
• Vampire portrayals in Buffy and Being Human
• Being Human first episode vs. BSG first episode; expositional differences specific to these shows, and then to all science fiction shows
• "Company Man" vs. "Out of Gas" out-of-order storytelling; past vs. present, how and why characters are the way they are
• Fairytale and fantasy elements in The Beast Below vs. Bitches
• Which characters are similar and why; are they science fiction staples or archetypes?
• What are common plot elements -- aliens? Cloning?
• Representation of evil in science fiction; corporeal vs. the unseen
• Music/score, licensed vs. composed; are there common science fiction musical elements?
• General commentary on acting, direction, production design, writing, etc.
