Occasional Randomness

Occasional Randomness #7 - Of Muppets and Mandalorians (Farscape S3E09 - Mandalorian S3E01-04)

This time around Eric and Jason review something old and something new.  First up season 3 episode 9 of Farscape, Losing Time. Moya goes through a "harmless" energy cloud and picks up some new passengers. Neither of which want to leave the bodies they're possessing. Can the remaining crew remove these energy beings before the possessions are permanent?
And finally, we've been threatening to do it since we started Occasional Randomness and we finally did. We review something more current. The first half of The Mandalorian season 3 on Disney+. The first half of season 3 has you guessing for a good portion of it what the season is about with some interesting detours and possible fakeouts. But really, it seems like it should be called "The Mandalorians" as there are more Mandalorians than you can shake a scared droid at.

Occasional 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. But complicating that are lies, jealousy and dislike for each other. All that plus Stark and Rygel have some... bonding(?) time.

Occasional 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. They run into some trouble, of course, when they try to obtain some supplies to help heal Talyn. And Crais drops a bombshell on Aeryn -- the Peacekeeper forces that were after him and Talyn are commanded by none other than Aeryn's mother! Will they get away in time before she arrives?

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/

Occasional Randomness #1 - A New Beginning

Welcome to the first episode of Occasional Randomness!  This podcast is a continuation of what we started almost two years ago on The Incomparable podcasting network's TeeVee feed where we watched and discussed the TV show Farscape. 
We'll be continuing our watch of seasons 3 and 4 here and also we will occasionally talk about other things in depth besides Farscape… randomly… whenever the mood or opportunity presents itself.
