I’d like to add Terminator-The Sarah Conners Chronicle to the list of great skiffy television for 2008. I’m enjoying the second season more than the first!
True, DM. I really enjoyed the Chronicles this year, as well. but because it dances on the edge of cancellation, I didn’t include it as a notable story.
However. I do want to include “Fringe”, which may mature into the top network skiffy show this year.

Note that the evolution of Doctor Who was listed in Skiffy’s top 2008 stories in science fiction. […]
Re Arthur C Clarke – I’m ploughing through “City & the Stars”. A wonderful layout at first but, by the time Alvin is before the Council, it’s becoming a little … blahh.

[…] In the final minutes of 2008, I have nothing important to share with you. Instead, you get, from EK Hornbeck, a fascinating list of Ten Things That Won’t Survive The Recession. And over at Skiffy.ca, we have a new article: 2008 Science Fiction Year in Review. […]

Amphibious, I loved City and the Stars. It lingers with me decades after I first read it. Few books can do that nowadays.
