Occasional 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 off cannibalistic pseudo-zombies and a mad scientist on a diseased and dying Leviathan. And where the ending leaves the crew seeing double... double Crichtons.

Occasional 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. Before anyone can do anything, a ship comes out of it and materializes part way inside Moya. The crews of both ships work on ways to separate themselves, but it seems the aliens on the other ship have ulterior motives. And we meet our newest crewmember - Jool.
Finally in Self-Inflicted Wounds (Part 2): Wait for the Wheel, we learn that the aliens are sabotaging Moya so their ship can be the only one to escape the wormhole. Our crew must put their differences of opinions and desires aside to save them all before the aliens' plans are realized. And one of our crew makes the ultimate sacrifice.

Occasional 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 we wrap up with Suns and Lovers. Where we hopefully put the whole D'Argo / Chiana / Jothee love triangle behind us, never to be spoken of again. And not just because the crew is trapped on a disabled space station about to be destroyed by a mysterious wave of energy soon approaching. Can they find the source of the signal attracting the wave in time? Can they saved the trapped children and themselves? And can Aeryn and Crichton finally find some "alone time"?Check out our website for links to prior episodes -- https://occasionalrandomness.podbean.com/
