Excellent episode! I especially liked the article on Commandant Grayza. Although, if I were to meet her in person, I'd definitely call her "PK Tralk Girl". :D Just not to her face, of course. ;D Anyway, I may have to give the Question of the Week a lot of thought, but hopefully, I'll have it up on the forums before you guys begin recording. Well, I look forward to the next episode! Good luck!

Okay, first...  I think it's a been a while since I've heard Nookie Monster and his catchphrase.  Thanks for the laughs on that one.  LOOOOMAS!   :D

Great music choice for Grayza!  Great character review as well.  She's much more complex than her plunging neckline, and you captured that well.

Thanks for the enlightening interview with MediaSavant.  I learned something... my job for today is done.   ;)

Oh, and that Melting Pot article was fantastic and highly enjoyable; a very fun speculative piece.

Yay!  Beacon Guy has an expanded role at the Scapecast!  Sounds like it turned out quite well.  I actually like this concept of you answering our questions.   :)

Thanks again for a wonderful episode.

Another great ep.  I, too, enjoyed hearing my Hear-o, the Beacon Guy, get a little more air time!  I learned a few things during MediaSavant's interview, as well -- for example, that Arbitron is no longer doing TV ratings. 

Question:  what's the music playing during the Trivia Answer?  Is it from "The Matrix?"

That trivia music is a tune that's become kind of a personal theme song for me in many places (music videos, podcasts, personal CDs, etc.).  It's the theme from the video game Quake II and it's supposedly by Rob Zombie (although it was uncredited on the soundtrack).

Another GREAT ep ... I really enjoyed "Strange Brew" ... and the question of the week with all of your answers was too cool.

And I knew that music was from Quake  ( after you said it )

Keep up the good work !!!!

Wonderful Episode as usual. Thanks for answering my question.

FYI: I saw today that Robert Bruning who played Rinic Pralanoth in the "Thanks For Sharing" episode, died.

Thanls.  We announced his death in the last episode's news segment, sadly.  :(

Great episode! The Grayza article was fantastic and the alien melting pot article was great, too. It was also nice to learn more about how the podcast is made in the questions of the week.

 Excellent episode ! I loved it . Especially the Grayza character review  article , I totally enjoyed . I learned things about that character that I never knew . I find  Grayza to be a very interesting character . 
I also ,  thoroughly , loved that article that Hank spoke about the aliens of " Farscape " .   I loved it when Hank said about the " Tav-loids " . I think this world is divided into two kinds of people .Those such as John Crichton, Hank , and myself that love to call them " Tav-loids " and then the other side of the world has people that call them " Tav-leks " . Hehehe, I just think that is so funny . So frelling hysterical . I laugh every time I hear John saying " Tav-loids " and then Aeryn slaps him  ( knocking him clear off his feet ) and says to him " Tav-LEKS ! "  And then to make things even funnier is that John STILL calls them " Tav-loids " in the Liars, Guns and Money trilogy . And in unison everyone there tell him " Tav-leks " Hehehe, very funny .  And it is very interesting to learn about the other aliens on Farscape . Some I never recall . So I think I am going to have to go back to see about these other aliens Hank mentioned.  All of them very interesting species .
I , of course, look forward to the next installment of ScapeCast . Keep up the excellent work !

Rob gets at least 90% of the credit for the aliens article, Danny.  His stuff is so conversational, all I have to do is keep from screwing it up!

I appreciated all I learned from this episode.

And yes, Grayza is more creepy than zexy.

From the hidden people behind that and the other articles (editors, producers), thanks.  :)

At the risk of overdoing this mutual admiration thing, I'm constantly impressed with what the editors do with the raw material we provide.  They're the ones who make us sound so good.
