listening now. Waiting for Show Notes

Again, a great show and Lindy, once again it was nice seeing you at ScapeRama

That was so cool to listen to.

But Frell!  I totally forgot about #26's question of the week! (Hey, I was busy partying with other Scapers )

My favorite TV shows other than Farscape (goes without saying #1) would have to be Babylon 5 (it's a close 2nd to Farscape), ST: Deep Space Nine, ST:The Next Generation, the original Battlestar Galactica (yes, yes, with wooden characterization and paper-thin dialogue and all!), and Space:1999 (ditto about the characterization and dialogue here too ).  The last two are just plain campy fun

Space:1999

I loved that show!  Even though it seemed like there were only 4 sets and the same story every week.  It had the feel of a space outpost it  - the dark and  cold emptiness of space seemed realistic.  And I loved Martin Landau and Barbara Bain... and the woman with the funky eyebrows who could turn into a cougar or cat or whatever. 

Oh, the childhood days of cheesy sci fi - Doctor Who, the Tom Baker years, Red Dwarf, Buck Rogers...

You're probably not far from the truth on that!

They just moved the props around a bit to make each set look different for the next shoot

Remember Quark?  The short-lived show on NBC in the late 70's with Richard Benjamin as the hero/captain of a intergalatic garbage truck?

Jeff

[Wendy Hembrock]

I'm stumped with Quark... 

But I fondly recall Quisp cereal... it always beat out Captain Crunch.

Well Quark only had about a 6-8 episode run, so no small surprise it doesn't ring a bell.

As for breakfast cereal, hey Captain Crunch over Quisp anyday

Jeff

P.S. I DON'T believe this!  There is a webpage for the show: http://www.skooldays.com/categories/primetime/pt1435.htm

[Wendy Hembrock]

Oh my eyes!  Wow, I've never seen that show before.  I'd have remembered the guy with the giant head. 

[winston_smith]

Great show.  I really liked the group discussion on Suns and Lovers.

I'm now finally up to date with the Scapecasts. 

Also, thanks for including my answer to the question of the week!   

Space:1999

BTW, I'm also a bit of a Space 1999 fan.  It might look cheap but apparently it cost around a million dollars an episode, and that's back in the '70s.  I prefer the first series.  The second series looked as if it'd been messed around with too much, I think the producer of the third season of ST TOS was brought in to broaden the appeal.  Series one was darker, and a bit more serious.  Of course, the whole basis of the show (what with the Moon being blown out of the solar system by a nuclear waste explosion) was, scientifically speaking, bulls**t.

Thanks, Winston, and no problem on the answer.  We like to include all the answers if we can.

Of course, there is the bit of Farscape/Space:1999 trivia.  Actor Nick Tate, who played R. Wilson Monroe in "Constellation of Doubt", also played Chris Carter on Space:1999.  Hey! People on TV aren't supposed to physically change like that!!!  Don't those folks in showbiz have exclusive access to Ponce De Leon's Fountain of Youth?

That would be Alan Carter.  Chris Carter was the producer of The X Files.

Thanks, Brent.

Congratulations to the Scapcast-team. It was once again a wonderful episode.

It is great that you are still bringing the Thanks for sharing contest. Vicki Meece’s contribution was very moving and went directly to my heart. Kimberly did a great job presenting it!

Shooting from the Hip was fantastic, too. I wish I could have been there as well. Could someone please invent the beaming technology? Just wanted to let you know that you all seem like a great bunch of people.
