steampunk and Hollywood - to be revisited

[sergebroom]

I've been asked to give my "Steampunk and Hollywood" talk at Bubonicon. I need to update it to reflect some of what has happened in the last two years. That means I need to find the steampunk episode of Nathan Fillion's "Castle". It doesn't appear to be on the series's site anymore. It is available on Lulu, but I'm not a subscriber. Any ideas?

Ask brute_force, who made the stuff and has a cameo? Bet he knows where to find it, or has a copy.

Thanks. There is also writer GD Falksen, who I think was a consultant for that episode, and with whom I have a friend in common.

Just to get the facts straight: "Punked," air date 11 October 2010, episode number 38. Here's IMDB.

Thanks, Bill. It's my understanding that the episode didn't make fun of the fannish scene, which has got to be a first for a TV show.

It doesn't touch the fannish scene -- it has a steampunkish secret society, but that's not fannish.

On the other hand, steampunk is SF, and that means SF fans, even if steampunk is just one of SF's subcultures. People on the outside can't really tell the difference between the subgroups.

I think steampunk is like goth -- it's not directly part of fandom, but there are fans who like it. The con AJ went to last weekend wasn't fannish at all (and poorly planned, apparently -- I'd like to know if they were able to cover their costs).

I seem to remember reading that some people who once were into Goth eventually went over to Steampunk.
