Occasional Randomness

We're staying inside the Disney+ ecosystem this week. We wrap up season 1 of Agatha All Along, with episodes 7 - 9. Did we think they brought the season home on a good note, ready for whatever comes next? Mostly. Did Jason ever come to like any of the characters? Well... But overall, we did like it and we'll see if anything comes after it to continue where they leave us at the end of the Witches'...

Next up through the final season of Farscape, we cover season 4, episode 10 - Coup by Clam. And yes, it is about a coup and by using clams. So, good on ya Farscape writer for making a very descriptive episode title. While orbiting a planet where they found some tech to help Moya survive Tormeted Space, the crew eat the aforementioned clams and become poisoned. It's all a shakedown plan by a doctor...

This time around Eric and Jason discuss Farscape season 4, episode 9 - A Prefect Murder. We both didn't think the different points of view story method worked on this one. We thought it would have been better off directed like a normal episode. But we did agree on the strongest plotline and the great John and Aeryn scenes. Then we discuss the first 3 episodes of the latest Disney+ Marvel series, A...

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 review the first two parts of Farscape’s second ever three part storyline, "Liars, Guns and Money". And during all that, wander of...

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 have been gone for a little while due to real life, but we’re back with two above average episodes to make up for it. First up, Th...

We're more than a third of the way through Farscape season 4. In this one, season 4, episode 8 - I Shrink, Therefore I Am, most of the crew have been captured by bounty hunters in really cool armor. And it's up to Crichton, with some assistance by our newly helpful crewmate Scorpius, to rescue them. To make things worse, the hunters shrink all the crew and keep them in containers inside their armo...

This time around, we review Farscape season 4, episode 7 - John Quixote. Not that you would think of Don Quixote from practically anything in this episode... Anyway... Chiana pulls Crichton into a VR game that quickly goes off the rails. Apparently Stark has it out for Crichton because of Zhaan's death last season and has made up a VR game to trap Crichton and make him suffer. But things don't wor...

Only the one episode of Farscape this time around as we're waiting for the next Marvel or Star Wars shows to premiere. This time, Farscape season 4, episode 6 - Natural Election.  Aeryn and Crichton are about to have "the talk" about Aeryn's baby but just as they start Moya is rocked by a collision and explosions.  Seems she's covered in some kind of space plant that begins digesting her. The crew...

We continue our trip through the final season of Farscape with season 4, episode 5 - Promises. The crew finally are reunited (and it feels so good) with Moya, Pilot and Aeryn. And a not-so-welcome new addition to our crew. But Aeryn's not feeling all that well and the person who made her that way drops by for some revenge. Then we finish our review and discussion of the last half of season 1 of St...

Episode #25! Not that we planned anything for this milestone, but we do have a larger than normal sized episode this time around. First up, Farscape season 4, episode 4 - Lava's a Many Splendored Thing. Still no sign of Aeryn (maybe next time). The crew lands on a barren planet covered in, you guessed it, lava, in search of food. Unfortunately things go about as well as you'd expect and they get t...

We wrap up the first multipart story of season 4 of Farscape - episode 3, What Was Lost (Part 2): Resurrection. We were not entirely impressed with part one, so see if we think they bring it home in part two and come to a satisfying conclusion. We do get to continue learning more about our new villain, Commandant Grayza. And they do give us some cliffhangers, or unresolved plot points at least, to...

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! This time we review two really amazing episodes. Granted, in the grand scheme of things, they didn’t really happen but they’re still amazing. Fir...

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...

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...

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. B...

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", w...

It's a Giant Sized episode of Occasional Randomness! We've finally gotten to the end of season three of Farscape with the cliffhanger that's episode 22, Dog with Two Bones. The band is breaking up and going their separate ways, except for Crichton who comes to the realization that he can't take Aeryn back to Earth with him if he ever were to go home. But before he figures all that out, they have t...

It's our big 20th episode! We're almost at the end of season 3 of Farscape! So that means this time we cover the penultimate episode of the season, episode 21 - Into the Lion's Den, Part II: Wolf in Sheep's Clothing. This one picks up right where part one ended... which is good as that would be really odd if they started part two way after part one ended. John realizes their plans from the first p...

Farscape season two is in its groove as Eric and Jason review another two really good episodes (hey, spo...

Join us on our continuing journey through Farscape with season 3, episode 20, Into the Lion's Den, Part I: Lambs to the Slaughter. Farscape's multi-part episodes have never disappointed us. They're always full of action, drama and propel the series to further heights. And this one is no exception. In this one, Crichton is conflicted with whether to help their enemy Scorpius finish developing wormh...

We're back from the end of the year holidays and vacations! We continue on with our journey through Farscape with season 3, episode 19, I-Yensch, You-Yensch, and we finish Loki season 2 with episodes 4 through 6. On Farscape, we have a sort of an interlude story where the crew goes to con Scorpius into thinking Crichton wants to help him finish developing his wormhole technology before the Scarran...

Here's our "original" show notes for this episode.  Enjoy! Farscape has seemed to hit what can only be described as a "Sophomore Slump" with the first part of season two. But Jason and Eric power through...

Editor's Note: It seems the first attempt to publish this episode had some issues with the file. If at first you don't succeed.... --------- We're back to discussing more occasionally random things. Back to our continuing journey through Farscape (the not random part) with season 3, episode 18, Fractures, and also the first half of Loki season 2 (the random part). On Farscape, we finally get the b...
