  • Occasional Randomness - Farscape Flashback #18 - How to Get a Head in Politics (Farscape S2E13-14)
    May 1 2024

    Welcome to the next episode of Farscape Flashbacks! Our reposting of our Farscape season one and two podcasts that we did on another podcasting network so you can more easily listen to them here.

    Here's our "original" show notes for this episode. Enjoy!

    We conclude the amazing three part Look at the Princess trilogy and then talk about a not-so-amazing story.

    First up, the exciting conclusion of the trilogy, Look at the Princess, Part 3: The Maltese Crichton. They manage to wrap up all the plotlines from the last two episodes in a very satisfying way. And start up a new plotline that will run for many more episodes. Everyone gets a happy ending. Well… almost.

    Finally, Beware of Dog gets a mixed review from both of us. We felt the main plot was a rehash of a couple of different season one episodes. However, we really loved the subplot about Crichton’s continuing interaction with visions of Scorpius that are becoming more and more frequent and intense.

  • Occasional Randomness #22 - More Friends, More Problems (Farscape S4E01 - Bad Batch S3E6-11)
    Apr 17 2024

    We start the fourth and final season of Farscape with episode 1, Crichton Kicks. Crichton's going stir-crazy on another Leviathan after months alone, with only a DRD and aging Pilot for company. That gets interrupted by our soon to be newest crewmember, Sikozu, who arrives rather abruptly. And to make things worse, behind her are some really bad people who want to harvest parts of the Leviathan. But they do get some help as Chiana and Rygel show up... but not because they wanted to come back. So, let's see what cunning plan they come up with to save their new Leviathan home.

    And then after Farscape, it's on to the 2nd third of season 3 of Star Wars: The Bad Batch with episodes 6 - 11. There's lots of action and hints of things to come in the Star Wars Universe. We get to meet some old friends and enemies and end with the Batch's "Empire Strikes Back" moment where it all looks like it's falling apart and the Empire is winning.

  • Occasional Randomness - Farscape Flashback #17 - Sex, Lies and Farscape (Farscape S2E11-12)
    Apr 3 2024

    Welcome to the next episode of Farscape Flashbacks! Our reposting of our Farscape season one and two podcasts that we did on another podcasting network so you can more easily listen to them here.

    Here's our "original" show notes for this episode. Enjoy!

    Eric and Jason watch the first two episodes of an amazing three part Farscape epic — "Look at the Princess".

    In "Part 1: A Kiss is but a Kiss", we enter a world full of political and social intrigue. Crichton can’t catch a break between Aeryn, who can’t commit more to their relationship, a princess to whom Crichton is the only one genetically compatible who needs a husband so her scheming brother doesn’t become ruler, and our old buddy Scorpius who wants to dissect Crichton’s brain. While those relationships are complicated, D’Argo and Chiana’s budding new relationship is getting more intense.

    In "Part 2: I Do, I Think", Crichton has no choice but to marry the princess to escape Scorpius. But there’s a downside to married royal life… he and the princess must spend the next 80 cycles as statues. What will the crew do to prevent that? What will all the scheming political envoys do to either prevent the marriage or make it succeed? Oh, and Zhaan and Pilot meet Moya’s creator. And it’s not happy that she gave birth to a gunship and proceeds to shut her down, for good.
