This time around we do a girls' trip episode of Farscape, with season 4, episode 16, Bringing Home the Beacon. And unlike the boy's trip last time, this is all just shopping, spa treatments and no other drama whatsoever. Who are we kidding, this is Farscape, so of course there's drama! The girls run into both Grayza and Scarrans while trying to get some equipment for Moya and have to deal with them while waiting for their purchase. But they aren't there for our crew, they're here to secretly negotiate a peace treaty. I'm sure nothing will go wrong with that and no one from our crew will be caught or anything...

The boys get some good bonding time away from Moya and the girls by going to mental arts training camp. Oh, who are we kidding, this is Farscape we're talking about. While at "camp", Rygel almost gets brain damage, John gets stuck in a cage that's slowly heating up and D'Argo comes face to face with his wife's murderer, her brother Macton. Macton is going to prove to D'Argo that it was D'Argo who killed her in a fit of hyper-rage, not him. Let the mind games begin!

We get closer and closer to the end of the final Farscape season with a review of season 4, episode 14, Twice Shy. The crew is back in Tormented Space after the last couple of episodes on Earth. They pick up some star charts from some traders but also pick up what appears to be a woman used by the traders as a slave. And, as you have come to know Farscape by now, things never go well when the crew picks up strangers. Their new passenger is not what she seems and they have to deal with her before she kills them all. Plus we learn more about both Scorpius' and John's hidden agendas towards each other and what that means for John and Aeryn's relationship.

We finish our latest trilogy of Farscape episdoes with season 4, episode 13, Terra Firma. Earth finally finds out we're not alone in the universe. John Crichton and his father, Jack, argue over whether to share all the alien technology and information with the rest of the Earth or not. John is slow rolling how much the Earth military and scientists get to figure out. Even from his childhood friend and fellow Farscape Project member, DK. Aeryn meets the rest of John's family but is torn over staying for Christmas or leaving over her feelings for John. And John starts to come around and acknowledge those feelings... before being attacked by the Skreeth that Grayza hid aboard Moya last episode. All this plus the girls go on a shopping spree! Merry frelling Christmas!

We finally get back to our journey through Farscape now that there's a lull in the new Marvel and Star Wars shows. We pick up with season 4, episode 12 - Kansas. We last left with a cliffhanger of Crichton floating in space above Earth, with only the hard way to get down. Spoiler, he does with a little help from his friends. Then he has to do his own version of Quantum Leap and Back to the Future to prevent his dad from joining the ill-fated Space Shuttle Challenger mission or else the future will be forever changed. And along the way, the rest of the crew get to experience life on Earth, Halloween and candy. Lots and lots of candy.

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 rank where Andor fits within our list of favorite Star Wars TV shows. Hint: it's way up there; we wish they could have kept this show going. And a final disclaimer:  No Bothans were harmed in the making of this podcast. They'll get their turn later.

We continue going year by year through Star Wars: Andor with season 2 -- episodes 7 - 9. The plots and machinations building up all season are finally coming to fruition. It's action galore now as we head closer and closer to where Rogue One starts. The Empire finally takes control of Ghorman and puts down the rebels there.  While we both saw that coming, we both did not see coming what happened to one of our main characters who's been with us since season 1. Cassian picks up his new "little" droid buddy, K2-SO. Then we have our big political thriller where Mon Mothma lays it all on the table and officially condemns the Empire and joins the Rebel Alliance. And we offer up some suggestions on future Star Wars shows they could do in keeping with the spy / espionage theme of Andor.

After some real world delays and other things, we're back! We continue going year by year through Star Wars: Andor with chapter 2 -- episodes 4 - 6. We get the fun of seeing competing spies with both Syril and Cassian doing their best James Bond 007 impersonations on Ghorman. And our big action piece this time around is a heist gone mostly right, with deadly consequences we did not foresee. We get a lesson in art appreciation and a debate about war between Krennic and Mon Mothma. And finally some home life and house cleaning with Cassian and Bix on Coruscant.

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 Mon's daughter, what's-her-name, and her future husband, what's-his-name. The Empire is doing more secret projects that will probably help fuel the Rebellion's popularity. Syril's mom gets put in her place by Dedra. Cassian has a slight layover on his TIE fighter heist and deals with rebels who would rather argue amongst themselves and play Space Rock, Paper, Scissors. And Cassian's friends almost get rounded up by Imperials. We move ever onward towards Rogue One and can't wait to see where this final season ends towards that.   Watch Andor on Disney+ Listen to our other episodes on our website -- https://occasionalrandomness.podbean.com/ Subscribe to our YouTube Channel -- https://www.youtube.com/@occasionalrandomness Follow us on X (Twitter) -- https://x.com/OccasionalRND Follow us on Bluesky -- https://bsky.app/profile/occasionalrnd.bsky.social Follow us on Facebook -- https://www.facebook.com/occasionalrandomnesspodcast/

This time around we wrap up season 1 of Daredevil: Born Again with episodes 7 - 9. We absolutely loved this series, as you can probably tell from our prior podcasts, and the ending of season 1 doesn't disappoint us. Anytime you combine two of the characters we love, Daredevil and The Punisher, what's not to love? We were a little sad that Muse didn't have more to do in this but we get more of Fisk and his grand plans for him and Vanessa. We talk about where we think season 2 might go, and who else Team Daredevil might recruit to help stop Fisk and the Anti-Vigilante Task Force (a Defenders reunion anyone?), and what the future Special Presentation show with The Punisher might be.

We continue through the amazing season 1 of Daredevil: Born Again with episodes 4 - 6. We're obviously still enjoying it as you might guess. And it only took almost 5 more episodes before we got to see Matt suit up in costume again. We guess you can only keep a hero down for so long before they have to finally take action. We discuss Fisk's ultimate motives being mayor and enjoy him trying to navigate his new politicial world. We can't wait for the showdown with the Anti-Vigilante Task Force and how many vigilantes they might be up against. Cameos, anyone? And what is it with secret lairs? Everyone seems to have one.

This time around we talk about the first third of the new Marvel Disney+ series, Daredevil: Born Again, episodes 1 - 3. We both thought Daredevil was the best of the old Netflix Marvel shows and are very excited about ol' Hornhead being back for "season 4" on Disney+. Although we have some strong words to say about those opening scenes. And then we talk about where we think this season is going. What's Mayor Fisk really up to, who's really in charge of NYC's criminal empire, and when will the Punisher sue the NYPD for copyright infringement?   Watch Daredevil: Born Again on Disney+ Listen to our other episodes on our website -- https://occasionalrandomness.podbean.com/ Subscribe to our YouTube Channel -- https://www.youtube.com/@occasionalrandomness Follow us on X (Twitter) -- https://x.com/OccasionalRND Follow us on Facebook -- https://www.facebook.com/occasionalrandomnesspodcast/

First up in our ongoing watch of Farscape -- season 4, episode 11 - Unrealized Reality. Crichton gets sucked down a wormhole and meets another of the mysterious Ancients. This one explains everything you ever wanted to know about wormholes, and some stuff we bet Crichton didn't want to know. We loved all the alternate realities Crichton gets thrown into, which just keep getting more wild and wacky. Then we finish the second half of season 1 of Star Wars, Skeleton Crew -- episodes 5-8. We loved the first half of the season and the rest of the season did not disappoint us either. A nice 'coming of age' story set in the Star Wars Universe.  And pirates!

While Jason and I deal with colds, work and other IRL stuff, enjoy our final 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 and we'll see you soon with new episodes! Eric and Jason close out season two of Farscape with a pair of episodes reviews and then the season two review, lowlights and highlights. First up, Liars, Guns and Money (Part 3): Plan B. Instead of using their newly obtained mercenaries to rescue D’Argo’s son, now they’re off to rescue Crichton from Scorpius’ clutches. But don’t worry, Stark has another foolproof plan… ah, frell that, it’s time for a guns blazing, frontal assault! They manage to rescue Crichton, but at what cost? Finally, Die Me, Dichotomy, the (mostly) exciting season two cliffhanger. The crew locates a healer who can both heal Moya and get the neural chip out of Crichton’s head. But the chip isn’t having any of that and does its best to get itself, and Crichton, back to Scorpius. And then some other things happen that we’d like to forget about, before the exciting cliffhanger ending that sets up season three.

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 completely invested in. We love the characters, setting and theme. And we get to see Star Wars' version of suburban life. It's definitely your Young Adult series (with pirates!) but has something for every age group. We speculate what the mysterious treasure of At Attin is as well as life based around aptitude tests.

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 who will give them the cure in exchange for lots of money. But of course that plan goes off the rails and the crew needs to get the cure themselves before they all die. Then we discuss the second 3 episodes of the latest Disney+ Marvel series, Agatha All Along, episodes 4 to 6. We continue to love the various trials the coven goes through but think the supporting characters could be more interesting. And one of the ones they do make more interesting, they kill off... maybe. But we do get to learn who the mysterious Teen really is... and it's someone we thought it was all along.

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 get more developed as the series continues, but we're excited to see where it goes.  And we get to geek out for a bit on Marvel magical characters from the comics and upcoming Disney Marvel and Star Wars shows.

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 off on tangents about Star Wars, the A-Team and past episodes of this here podcast. First up, Part 1 - A Not So Simple Plan. Which is pretty much as advertised. Stark (hey, isn’t he dead?) has a not so simple plan to steal enough money to buy D’Argo’s son Jothee from the slavers holding him captive. With such a complicated plan, it goes off without any issues at all. No… who are we kidding? Of course not. The crew must deal with a heavily secured depository, its leader, and our old buddy Scorpius to get what they need. Finally, Part 2 - With Friends Like These… After learning that all their efforts last time weren’t quite good enough, this time it’s Crichton who comes up with his own somewhat simpler plan to free Jothee. But it involves recruiting several people we met in season one who they didn’t leave on the best of terms with. It goes better than you’d expect, but there’s yet another complication that might make their hard work all for naught. And Crichton has to make a hard choice… Listen to our other Farscape episodes on our website -- https://occasionalrandomness.podbean.com/ Subscribe to our YouTube Channel -- https://www.youtube.com/@occasionalrandomness Follow us on X (Twitter) -- https://twitter.com/OccasionalRND Follow us on Facebook -- https://www.facebook.com/occasionalrandomnesspodcast/

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, The Ugly Truth, where Crais tries to get Moya’s crew to help him disarm Talyn. But things don’t go according to plan and the crew has to recount, from each of their perspectives, what went wrong or else face summary execution. Finally, A Clockwork Nebari, where Chiana learns some truths, some ugly, some not-so-ugly, about her people and her brother. Meanwhile the crew is mentally cleansed by the aforementioned Nebari and have to snap out of it if they’re going to get away.

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 armor so that Crichton can't risk harming them. Time for some cunning plans and snide comments.  You know, the usual Farscape plan. What could possibly go wrong?
