Another phenomenal episode, fellas! It was nice to hear Hank Schiffman's words on how he feels about what Farscape is, and how he joined the fandom. But, I especially loved this week's Tralk Talk, as it included one of my favorite exchanges from Ghostbusters. Whose idea was it to put that in there? :)

Pretty sure the Ghostbuster reference was in Nicola's original script.  (Yes, we start with a script.  There's even bits of it left when we're done.  ;D )

Glad you liked my little contribution.  You can't tell, but I'm grinning like an idiot right now.

If that's the case, I could so hang out with Nicola on more than just the level of both of us being Scapers! I've loved Ghostbusters ever since I was 4 years old! I haven't seen it in a while, though. I'm not that surprised you guys have a script, to be honest. And Hank, in my opinion, there's no such thing as grinning like an idiot. I call it, "grinning from ear-to-ear". ;D

Yep that was me.  The script did seem to call out for something along the 'crossing the streams' bad moment.  *snicker*

Another great show guys

Just one **minor** nikpick ;)

You posted the spoiler level to be only Season 4, but one of the answers for this week's trivia question was from Peacekeeper Wars.  Bad boys and girls :D

Ah, that would be my bad for tuning in Trivia so late.  But I think it's a minor spoiler, so I doubt too many folks will have the show ruined by hearing it.   :D

not a 5-star show, I have to say.

Liked Hank's essay, but mostly "ehh" about everything else.

Better luck next time.

Thanks for another good show.

This week's scapecast has helped me forget about Sheffield United being relegated from the Premier League  :'(  It's been tough.

Hey all!

Sorry I've been MIA for so long. I feel like I've been in a cave for the past five months or so. But I didn't come here to complain. I came to say I finally got a chance to listen to the ep. Hank's piece is lovely. And we all sound like frelling geniuses! Brent did a spectacular job putting it all together. And I know how much work he had!  ::)

I'm still mulling over my contribution to What Is Farscape. And I promise to deliver...eventually. In the mean time, I am moving a week from tomorrow, so I'm a little preoccupied. I will be a Jersey Girl no longer! It's back to the big city for me.

But I digress. I just wanted to tell everyone how cool the ep was. And how intelligent you managed to make me sound.

YW, Scapecast team. On second playback, I realized that I was nodding in agreement to the essay on Stark.
