    Occasional Randomness #50 - Stop and Smell the Crystherium (Farscape S4E21: La Bomba)

    John drops a bomb on some Scarrans, while Sikozu is the bomb for others. Our final multipart story of the Farscape regular series wraps up with Season 4, Episode 21: "We're So Screwed, Part 3: La Bomba." We finally get answers to our questions from last week, but with only one episode left in the regular series (not counting The Peacekeeper Wars), the clock is ticking. We break down Grayza’s ultimate meltdown as her ambitions crumble, Sikozu’s "fiery" reveal, and that ending where everyone gets some quality time... except, unfortunately, for John and Aeryn. One more to go... awwww... :( Watch Farscape on Shout!TV 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/

    Occasional Randomness #49 - Secret Agents Everywhere (Farscape S4E20)

    Our final multipart story of the Farscape regular series jumps into high gear with Season 4, episode 20, We're So Screwed, Part 2: Hot to Katratzi. This one has tons of plot twists, character twists and a nice gun battle at the end. And we have a surprise guest star -- Stark. And he's quite happy to help torture Scorpius for the Scarrans. Crichton crashes the Scarran/Peacekeeper "peace" conference and offers wormhole tech to the highest bidder. Let the scheming and backstabbing commence!

    Occasional Randomness #48 - The One Where Rygel Becomes Patient Zero (Farscape S4E19)

    It's our final multipart story of the Farscape series (not counting the Peacekeeper Wars mini-series).  Season 4, episode 19, We're So Screwed, Part 1: Fetal Attraction. And as always, Farscape delivers a great start to their multiparter.  One filled with action, humor, crew drama and surprise plot twists galore! And a reunion between John Crichton and a new and improved "old friend"... 2.0.  Surprisingly their plans go pretty well this time around, with a few impromptu changes which cost a few lives of those around them, much to Noranti's dismay.  They do rescue Aeryn but Scorpius is captured by the Scarrans.  Oh well, they don't need him, they can just leave and not try to rescue Scorpy... or can they?

    Occasional Randomness #47 - Frell You Jobu, I Do It Myself (Farscape S4E18)

    We pick up right where the last episode of Farscape ended, with season 4, episode 18, Prayer. Where we learn all about what Aeryn's been going through since she was captured; and John and Scorpius go for a ride... back to that "Bizarro" Moya mashup from several episodes ago.  Usually Jason and Eric are on the same page with episodes, but this time Jason liked it more. Eric didn't connect with the majority of the supporting characters and didn't think most of the plotlines worked for him. Although they did both think Aeryn's crisis of faith reminded them of Pedro Cerrano from the movie Major League. But even when Farscape has an "average" episode, there are still some good things to take away from it and good things to look forward to as the final season wraps up.

    Occasional Randomness #46 - It's Not a Clip Show (Farscape S4E17)

    So your girlfriend and mother of your unborn child has been captured by your enemies, what are you going to do about it?  In John Crichton's case, go watch some TV show with clips of your return to Earth and what various panelists think of your alien companions. This time around, we discuss Farscape season 4, episode 17, A Constellation of Doubt. And in between parts of the show, Crichton tries to remember where he heard about the secret Scarran base, Katratzi, where Aeryn is being held.  And he makes a startling offer to our old buddy Scorpius.  Watch Farscape on Shout!TV 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/

    Occasional Randomness #45 - Nothing to See Here, Please Disperse (Farscape S4E16)

    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...

    Occasional Randomness #44 - Mind Games (Farscape S4E15)

    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!

    Occasional Randomness #43 - Once Bitten, Twice Fly (Farscape S4E14)

    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.
