S3E67 -Chapter Sixty-Seven: Defenders of the Light!

On the LENSMEN series by E. E. "Doc" Smith

In a galaxy wracked with crime, only one thing stands between civilization and chaos: a bunch of wise-cracking, genocidal, extremely sexist space cops with magic jewelry! They are the thin shiny line, and they know what's best for the universe, because shut up, they just do.

This week we take a look at perhaps the baseline for all post-war space opera, the cheesy but occasionally charming Lensmen series by E. E. "Doc" Smith. They're loose cannons, dammit, but they get results!
