Autopilot 08 – Buck Rogers

Buck Rogers in the 25th Century is an American science fiction adventure television series produced by Universal Studios. The series ran for two seasons between 1979–1981, and the feature-length pilot episode for the series was released as a theatrical film several months before the series aired. The film and series were developed by Glen A. Larson, based upon the character Buck Rogers created in 1928 by Philip Francis Nowlan that had previously been featured in comic strips, novellas, a serial film, and on television and radio.

Hey Tom & Veronica!

I just found out about you guys, and Geek & Sundry, in general. I’m super stoked: to hear Gaimen and Dick being thrown out there brings warm fuzzies to my book-lovin’ heart. I enjoy what (be it your personality and literary smarts) and who (the authors!) your bring to the table. Can’t wait for the next installment.

As for a dragon name, how about “Gelf”? 

A gelf can be a elven creature (sword); a genetically enhanced life form (laser); or can be anything you want it to be (in our line of business, imagination is everything). See Urban Dictionary for more details. A-a-a-nd, for bonus points, it was a Gelfling that merged the Skexis and urRu into one awesome whole- just like you guys have have brought the sword and laser communities together and the yet-to-be-named dragon seems to be half traditional dragon and half… MechaGodzilla. =) 

Anyway, you rock.

Sincerely,

Aaron
