  • Occasional Randomness #23 - Odd Beginnings, Thrilling Endings (Farscape S4E02 - Bad Batch S3E12-15)
    May 15 2024

    We have our first multipart story of season 4 of Farscape. We review and discuss season 4, episode 2 - What Was Lost (Part 1): Sacrifice. Is it as good as the prior seasons' multiparters? Eric and Jason aren't sure. They both thought it was a confusing episode with parts both seen and unseen. Just what is going on with the Interions and this mysterious planet they're on? And what's up with the Old Woman and why's she acting all out of it? It does set things up though for the next episode where they hopefully will bring it home. But we at least get to learn more about our new Big Bad for the season, Commandant Grayza.

    And then after Farscape, it's on to the final third set of episodes of season 3 of Star Wars: The Bad Batch with episodes 12 - 15. It all comes to a satisfying conclusion. The Batch abduct ex-Admiral Rampart who helps them find where Omega is being held. And it's off to save her and the other prisoners at Mount Tantiss and stop Hemlock's research into Project Necromancer. And then we have not one, but two endings that would make excellent follow on series if they choose to do so.

  • 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.
