It's that time of the week!

This week it's Amnesia/Total Recall! From the episode guide:

AMNESIA/TOTAL RECALL AIRDATE: DEC. 15, 1993

This week Commander Rick continues to explore the theme of memory since he completely forgot to talk about amnesia in the last show. Joining him this time around are film director and screenwriter David Cronenberg - who was the original choice to write and direct the movie Total Recall, and speculative fiction authors Walter Jon Williams (Voice Of The Whirlwind), C.J. Cherryh (Heavy Time), Harry Harrison (The Turing Option), Pat Cadigan (Fools), Nancy Kress (Brain Rose), Kim Antieau ("Another Country") and Samuel R. Delany (Dhalgren). In addition Rick looks at the idea of eidetic or photographic memory with the assistance of Ray Bradbury (The Illustrated Man), Megan Lindholm (Alien Earth) and Terry Pratchett (Small Gods).

PLEASE NOTE:
Due to problems beyond my control at the moment, I've posted the SECOND half of the Memory and Amnesia/Total Recall two-parter first. I think that the episode manages to stand on its own in terms of content. The only reason that it's considered a two-parter is because the two episodes have similar themes and because of events in the fictional side of the show (Rick lost power in the satellite before he covered everything he wanted to).

Part One - David Cronenberg, Walter Jon Williams, C. J. Cherryh, Harry Harrison.
