Excellent! Abso-frelling-lutely excellent! I was very surprised by the Season 4 character review of Zhaan. I was thinking, "Zhaan didn't appear that much in Season 4! What the Hezmana are they playing at?!" but you guys did a great job with it. Although, I especially liked SPK's very thorough examination of Scorpius. He was a character that intrigued me from the get-go as well. I can't wait to read that interview with Wayne Pygram! I hope you guys get the link up soon! Well, keep up the good work! I look forward to the next episode!

[BenMech]

I feel the same way, MadAboutScorpy

[Crackers DO Matter]

Ditto !!!!

I was thinking ... Zhann ? ... season 4 ?

GREAT JOB SCAPECASTERS !!!!!

Biological evacuation, never heard put it that way before
An excellent follow up to the Spock/Scorpius examination from the last episode by S.P. Kane and having recently watched season4 again it is amazing how instrumental John's nemesis became, not quite the reformation in the way of Crais but certainly as mentioned if the beginning have been clean then who knows how the John/Scorpy relationship would have developed.
Thanks for the interview links, made good reading.
Zhaan's return in season4 was magical and emphasised because of the manner of her departure, the writers did a wonderful job and so has Janis is giving so much depth to what was a far too brief return to the adventure.

One of the best and most entertaining questions of the week?
Yes I think so

Thanks very much. I'm really glad you liked the Scorpy article. 

[AmméLeep]

Thanks for liking the Zhaan piece.  Actually, that started out as a joke -- when Nicola handed out S4 character reviews, I said I wanted Z (because she wasn't in it).  Then I realized that she WAS in S4 a bit, and was there not only because the fans missed her, but also because the Moyans missed her.

Just a hopeful thought -- the only reason why Virginia Hey left was because the makeup made her sick.  Since movies/videos are now tweaked with computer SFX, do you think maybe there's a chance she could show up again?  I mean, with a swipe of the electronic pen, couldn't they make her blue without painting her skin?

WHERE are those darn podcasts?!?!?   

[lindyrae]

you mean webisodes, right Amme?

[AmméLeep]

D'oh!  Yes, webisodes.  Anyone heard ANYthing about them?  I 'spose they were hit by the writer's strike, too.

[Michael Falkner]

Good show, as always.

One thing: Did I miss something?  The 7th Son: Deceit guest readings were back in '06, weren't they?  I'm confused... which isn't hard to do.

It's also not hard for us to screw things up.

Honest.

Not hard at all...

You guys screw up?  That's... not... possible...
