We're kicking off a summer of guests with our pal Virginia Smith, here to take on a very special subject: the father and son duo of Dr. Chandra and HAL!
How Dr. Chandra's relationship with SAL prefaces her brother's return and sets him up bibically & mythologically as both the chosen one and the prodigal son. Falling in love with the redeemed HAL 9000 before ever watching his original fall from grace.
Comparing the relationship of Chandra & HAL between "Odyssey Two" and "The Year We Make Contact," and the importance of Hyams' dramatic contributions to Clarke's story for the film.
And we reach into the archive with a 2019 profile of Douglas Rain by Jerry Flahive.

Any way you slice it, our characters share the same conflict as their authors: the dilemma of sharing love for computers as people, and the danger of treating people like computers.
