CW; discussion of STDs, AIDS, queerphobia, transphobia, conversion therapy  Aeryn takes a trip to Stepford, Dargo gets weepy, Rygel plays with electricity, and Chiana breaks our hearts.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that every television show in possession of sci-fi premise, must be in want of a Rashomon episode. How about one with a little good cop/bad cop? or rather bad cop/worse cop. Farscape gives us its version of both with some neat character stuff and very cool design work.  Podcast socials https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCz-9cHDhut44XA-hQ-RMw6Q https://www.patre...

Once upon a time a girl flew off into a mist and came back an old lady, her lover followed her and he too became old. A blue mage joined with a magic boy to learn the truth of a ship trapped in time.

Who's ready for a trip to Oz? Well certainly a trip of some kind. Farscape takes us deep, maybe too deep into John's mind as he tries to keep from losing it entirely.

Head-stealing, God-trapping, cliff-climbing, deal-making, and convenient acid vats. It's The Maltese Crichton, and boy do Jack, Josh, and Sara have some thoughts, and some feelings too. When is a sex scene the wrong kind of sex scene? What actually is Cargen's heat wave thingy?  What is or isn't a lie to the audience?  Most importantly, why is there no Health and Safety at the acid...

There's never a quiet day on Moya. Just when you're enjoying some fight flirting a big green orb comes along and xeroxes you.

But who will make the sacrifice play Jack, Josh, and Sara are just loving this feast of philosophy a...
