In this episode we pay homage to one of the foundational books of science fiction, a novel that inspired Dune, Star Wars, and Warhammer 40k.

The foundation series proves that great SciFi can be still be relatively simple and short. So let's take a look at the book that invent all the tropes you love to hate this week on Grimdark Battlestation

Why is it that there is so much negative content appearing about Star Wars, the DCU, the MCU etc when we are in the midst of a golden age, at least in terms of volume? Just how much of it is down to grifters, fair critics, and toxic positivity?

Let's unpack the cranky pants mentality surrounding modern Sci-Fi

This week we're going to look are scifi urban planning gone wrong. The hive cities of Warhammer 40,000 and the Necromunda tabletop game are some of the most densely packed, disturbing and dangerous places in a galaxy full of horrors.

Let's hop in a find out why.

We all know that being a Rogue Trader or Planetary Governer is a life of opulence and adventure. We also know that being a factory worker is a life or toil and recycled people for dinner. But what about the middle class of the Imperium?

We picked out the 5 best jobs that you and I could aspire to in the glorious Imperium so let's jump in.

This weeks topic is one of our favorite star wars characters, the enigmatic Chiss Grand Amdiral Thrawn. A competent commander in a sea of buffoons, he's loved by many and even survived the canon purge.

But why is he so loved and what does he add to the star wars?

Let's jump in.

This week we look at how SciFi tropes about the apocalypse are still living in the world of 'lone wolf rambo', why subtle apocalypses are the best, and how we should all live on a remote Portuguese island making concrete after the world ends.
