[AmméLeep]

Whoo hoo!  Great news & entertainment!  Who woulda thunk at my advanced age that I'd be buying comic books?

Enjoyed the John segment, and the Xena one, too, even though I've never watched the show.  And KUDOS to Got Leviathan and Mrs. Got for the bumper contest win!

[scorpiesue]

Another great episode!!!!

  The Long Way Home
 I've always looked forward to the articles Wendy's written of the Hero's journey...i find they make me not look at each episode individually but to understand John's important role in the whole story...they've all been well written and i have enjoyed them immensely

   Interview
  a very informative interview with excellent questions asked ( Matt Gagnon really sounds like a person who loves his job)...comic books have not been part of my life since Archie and Richie Rich decades ago...
but after hearing that Rockne will be writting them and that they will contine the story from PK Wars and will tie in to the webisodes, how could i not buy them?
...and yes, Matt sounds like a great candidate for SFTH...he was very interesting to listen to and sounds like he would have a lot to contribute about a Farscape episode....

   Warrior Prince
  another fabulous article from SP Kane...a great comparison between the two shows similarity for power and revenge...i never watched Xena but now i will give it a try after hearing this segment...

Kevin and Lindy...thanks for the laughs you gave me between the segments...( i hope pregnant women aren't going to gang up on you Kevin !! )...

[BenMech]

Man, I hadn't thought about Xena in æons! Guess I'll put it and Hercules back on the queueue

[Crackers DO Matter]

Every time I see there is a newScapecast episode it's just like when Farscape Friday's occured  ( happy dance !!! )

The Chicken call at the start of Tralk Talk made my drink come out my nose ... too funny ... breasts of death ... got me again !!!
The interview with BOOM was GREAT ... well done Lindy !!

All I can say is THE SCAPECAST ROCKS !!!!

Scape on !!!

Ohhh ... thanks Hank, for the pig orgasams ... got me again !!!!

[Kevin Bachelder]

Very glad to hear that.   

Here's an official Snoopy dance for you...

[lindyrae]

Thanks Crackers.

I WAS doing that dance after our interview 

[AmméLeep]

Thanks for the Muppet video link -- not only are those funny, but I went trolling for more on YouTube and discovered -- Beaker is a rock star!

[Michael Falkner]

Tralk Talk - The Hidden Chicken, Part 2
Still keeping me laughing.  I can tell you all have so much fun with this.

John Season 4: The Long Way Home
I'm really enjoying this series.  Any possibility of compiling them into a bonus podcast based on the common thread of the Hero's Journey and the mono-myth?

Winner of our Contact Us bumper contest
That was good.  It gave me a good laugh if only because it reminded me of some late nights watching movies on USA when I couldn't sleep.  Up All Night with Rhonda Shear, anyone?  Congrats!!

Interview with the Managing Editor at BOOM! Studios, Matt Gagnon
Simply awesome.  I don't buy many comics, but I'll be in line for this one.  Mmmm... canon comics...

Farscape's Warrior Prince
Interesting comparisons.  I never got into Xena... just never had the interest.  Very well written article, and a very enjoyable listen.

Question of the Week
"We're still waiting."   

Mr. Hoople, Nookie Monster, Eema and Dr. Spam tell you the words of the episode
Thirty minutes, huh?

Thanks for the Muppet video link -- not only are those funny, but I went trolling for more on YouTube and discovered -- Beaker is a rock star!

I would so love to see Beaker and Dr. Bunsen analogues in Tralk Talk.  Those two are great when you're a scientist.

John Season 4: The Long Way Home

It is an idea we have been kicking around.   Not just for John, but for all the main characters. 

Mr. Hoople, Nookie Monster, Eema and Dr. Spam tell you the words of the episode
Thirty minutes, huh?

I made that joke as an aside while I was writing Tralk Talk and unbeknownst to me, Mr. Hoople felt it was incumbent upon himself to include that detail in the tag.   We are trying to write a PG-13 episode here!  *scandalized*

Oh!  You mean Mr. Hoople wasn't supposed to mention that?  Gosh, am I embarrassed!

*chortle*

A likely story sir.   A likely story!

[Hank Shiffman]

*chortle*

A likely story sir.   A likely story!

Really?  I'd have said it was most unlikely!

Another of my favorite podcasts is called Case Closed!  Each episode it two crime dramas from the 40s or 50s, with an episode of Ripley's Believe It Or Not in between.  Totally cheesy, but I just had to do Mr. Hoople's take on their slogan.  Sounds pretty authentic to me.

Man, I hadn't thought about Xena in æons! Guess I'll put it and Hercules back on the queueue

Hercules was a good show, too. A couple of nights ago I watched one of the Widow Twanky episodes. That character was a riot. 

AmméLeep, scopiesue, and Michael, thank you for the comments about the Xena/Scorpius article.
