Occasional RandomnessOccasional Randomness #40 - What About the Bothans? (Andor S2E10-12)We finish our review of Star Wars: Andor with season 2 -- episodes 10 - 12. As we all guessed, this series ends right where the Rogue One movie starts. But before that, we tie up all the loose ends for the characters we've come to love over the last two seasons. We weren't really surprised at where they ended up for the most part. Although we do have some great ideas for future books or shows for some of them. K2-SO stole the show for one of us (Eric) while Kleya's "Mission: Impossible" hospital scenes was another's favorite (Jason). And we...2025-07-1639 min

Occasional RandomnessOccasional Randomness #37 - The Confusion Continues (Andor S2E1-3)Eric and Jason move on from Marvel shows (see the last few podcasts) and on to Star Wars as Disney+ has started their epic flood of episodes for the second, and last, season of Star Wars: Andor. It's a good thing Disney+ released a recap of season one as it's been three years since that came out. Although that didn't help us remember most of the supporting characters names. Nor remember all the details around Mon Mothma's complicated Rebellion financing scheme. However, that did not stop our enjoyment of episodes 1 - 3. We loved all the wedding ceremony details for...2025-05-1056 min

Occasional RandomnessOccasional Randomness #32 - Witches and Pirates and Kids, Oh My! (Agatha All Along S1E4-6, Skeleton Crew S1E1-4)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' Road. Then we cover the first half of season 1 of the latest live action Star Wars, Skeleton Crew, episodes 1 - 4. This one we're...2025-01-0858 min

Occasional RandomnessOccasional Randomness #30 - Bribing and Vibing (Farscape S4E09, Agatha All Along S1E1-3)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, Agatha All Along. We liked the overall storyline so far and the way they threw everyone a curve with the opening episode. We hope some of the characters...2024-11-1458 min

Occasional RandomnessOccasional Randomness #23 - Odd Beginnings, Thrilling Endings (Farscape S4E02 - Bad Batch S3E12-15)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...2024-05-151h 07

Occasional RandomnessOccasional Randomness #22 - More Friends, More Problems (Farscape S4E01 - Bad Batch S3E6-11)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...2024-04-171h 14

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 to dispose of Talyn's remains and deal with an insane Leviathan (not Moya). And who's that old woman on Moya chained in the kitchen?

Occasional RandomnessOccasional Randomness #20 - Alas Poor Talyn (and Crais)... (Farscape S03E21)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 part can't succeed, so he's got a new idea -- just blow up the whole Command Carrier. Blow it up real good. Oh...2024-03-0642 min

(Farscape S03E20)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 wormhole technology in his fight against the Scarrans. While the rest of the crew are given some things that could help them later if they really do get their criminal records wiped clean. Even Talyn...2024-02-0845 min

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 Scarrans can finish theirs first. While their plan seems sound, the place they chose to have that meeting with Scorpius -- a nice, quiet, out of the way diner -- isn't very quiet afterall...2024-01-061h 04

It's a small world after all. So, come join us as we geek out about one of our favorite things -- Star Wars. There's lots of callbacks and easter eggs to other Star Wars shows and movies in Ahsoka, which we discuss.

First up, "Durka Returns", where — you guessed it — the Peacekeeper Durka who imprisoned and tortured Rygel for 130 years returns seemingly from the dead.

And then things get weird, with Crichton in an animated dreamscape doing his own version of Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner cartoons being chased by D'Argo.

And like all Farscape multi-part episodes, this one does not dissapoint. The Talyn crew run into some old friends, Jack, the Ancient who gave Crichton some subconscious wormhole knowledge back in season 1, and Furlow, the mechanic who Crichton gave some wormhole readings to even earlier in season 1. And that's not a coincidence. Furlow has managed to find a way to traverse wormholes safely and that knowledge could soon belong to the Scarrans. Jack is here to stop that any way he can. 2023-07-2659 min

The Pilot-mandated rest and relaxation doesn't go so well for our crew, of course. But for awhile they do manage to unwind and dance the night away... until they get sucked into some nefarious dealings with some locals and Chiana and Jool get kidnapped. It's Crichton and D'Argo to the rescue, with the "help" of a new friend who has ulterior motives. And then we switch gears and discuss the first 3 episodes of Secret Invasion on Disney+.

Or can we really believe everything he says? In the B-plot, a scientist working on those same wormhole equations defects and offers Crichton the knowledge to safely traverse wormholes without turning into a puddle of goo. Or does she?

Occasional RandomnessOccasional Randomness #6 - This Budong’s For You (Farscape S3E08)This time around we cover Farscape Season 3, Episode 8 - Green Eyed Monster. What do you do when you get swallowed whole by a giant Budong? Try to get out, of course. That's the situation the crew on Talyn are facing this time around.

Occasional RandomnessOccasional Randomness #5 - You Get a Crichton and You Get a Crichton! (Farscape S3E07)What do you get when you have two identical John Crichtons? That's right, double the fun! But while the crew are coming to terms with having more than one Crichton on board, they encounter a badly injured Crais and Talyn.

Occasional RandomnessOccasional Randomness #4 - Braaaaaains! (Farscape S3E05-06)We reviewed a couple of dark episodes on the day before Halloween (as we recorded this), which was fitting we guess. First up -- ...Different Destinations. Where the crew accidentally go back in time and try to set right what they messed up by trying to make sure they didn't mess history up. But this isn't your typical time travel episode where things all turn out the same or better in the end. Afterall, this is Farscape we're talking about. Finally the really dark episode, Eat Me. Farscape's survival horror episode. Where the crew fend...2023-03-2955 min

Occasional RandomnessOccasional Randomness #3 - Scream Queen (Farscape S3E03-04)We have our first two parter of season 3 already. And it's not a happy, fun time for our wayward crew. First up -- Self-Inflicted Wounds (Part 1): Could'a, Would'a, Should'a. While on their way to a planet that can help Zhaan heal, Moya runs across a wormhole.

Occasional RandomnessOccasional Randomness #2 - Where Art Thou, Farscape? (Farscape S3E01-02)Eric and Jason are back after an extended time away, some of which was out of their control. They jump into the beginning of season three of Farscape -- which now has new opening theme music, "new" cast members and a new narration. First up, the exciting conclusion to the end of season two, Season of Death. That's the name of the episode, not the name of the last season. Does Aeryn come back to life? Does Crichton get his head back together, both literally and psychologically? Does Rygel really like what Chiana's cooking? Then...2023-03-011h 01
