Andy and Van take a Warlock Class Destroyer to the studio to record tonight's show--and they're not stopping for anything!  Except maybe pizza. And nachos. And like some sweet tea. But nothing else!! It's the final (actually filmed) episode of Crusade, but the lads aren't done yet! Not by a long shot! Thanks to all of our patrons for making shows like this possible!

Much like Max, apparently (EEEK), the Earth has needs. And so Andy and Van retrieve a set of data crystals to satisfy the Needs of Earth. Hopefully they're not Max's data crystals. Because EEEK.

Andy and Van use the stones to visit Earth and talk about SGU 108: Time and 109: Life! But man, they do NOT agree!! Maybe they need to go back in time and try again...?

Andy and Van forgive each other for wishing this episode had more of an "A"-plot, but they do enjoy the rest of it. Then Andy locks Van in a plastic ball and leaves him on an alien planet. Or abandons him in a spacesuit just as a Technomage fleet comes by. Something like that. It gets confusing. Thanks to all of our patrons for making shows like this possible! We have no advertisers and are entire...

Well... Andy and Van hop off the Long Road at the first available stop, and it turns out to be the last exit for the Well of Forever.

Andy and Van try to figure out how an all-Technomage episode wasn't the greatest episode of Crusade EVER. Because it really was not. But there are some things to like about it. We discuss! Plus listener comments and more! Any audio issues you hear in this episode were entirely caused by holo-demons and electron incantations. They have been fixed going forward. Thanks to all of our patrons for maki...

Andy and Van recorded this pod episode at the end of their coverage of Season 4--the spot where the episode was actually filmed, prior to the fifth season being picked up by TNT.

Among many other things, they discuss how differe...

Andy and Van salute the crew of the station before heading off for Tuzanor. But--will they both survive the trip, or will Lennier "dispose" of one or both of them along the way?
