Guys, I'm just drinking a cup of coffee every morning, and iced tea throughout the day. 

Thanks for the kind words -- hope the miniseries lives up to expectations....

[Brent Barrett]

  Well, maybe I should start drinking coffee then...

Thanks for the time to sit down with us, Keith.  I found it very informative and exciting to hear from you.

[Michael Falkner]

Thanks for the kind words -- hope the miniseries lives up to expectations....

I've enjoyed your work in the Star Trek universe, and I have faith that the miniseries is in great hands.

Welcome aboard Keith. You're not the only H:LotS fan here. Heck, I even went to college in Baltimore in the mid 90s, so I got to visit THAT bar. I've also met Andre Braugher a number of times locally by chance. Since he's usually with his kids, I didn't get into gawk geek mode.

Well, since both Lindy and I heard Keith read us the entire first comic in the mini-series while we were at Dragon*Con, I can state that Frell Yes! it lives up to Scapers' expectations. 

[KRAD]

Brent: Nah, that stuff'll kill ya....

Michael: Thanks! (And hey, check out my new Trek piece, A Gutted World in Myriad Universes: Echoes and Refractions. /plug)

BenMech: ENVYENVYENVY. One of these days I need to get my posterior to the Waterfront....

Wendy: Glad it worked for ya!

Just ONE cup of coffee?  How big is that barrel, er, cup of coffee? 

Thanks so much for playing with us!   Hope you can join us again soon!

It's not a barrel.

Exactly.



And you're quite welcome! I don't currently plan to attend the Burbank Creation show, but I'm always up for doing something over the phone -- maybe after all four issues come out or something.

[Crackers DO Matter]

Another GREAT Scapecast episode  ( I think I say that every time )

Well done Brent & Kimberly  ( even with for the chicken choke at the start Brent !! )

I liked the Braka and Grunchlk reviews !!!
Lindy, Great interview of Keith ... and I liked Brian's comment about season 5 too !!!!

Keep Scapin !!!

That's very easy to arrange   I'm sure they will be out before we know it!

By far the most BRILLIANT EPISODE YET! Props to both Brent and Kim for surviving being in the "comfy" hosting chairs... Also, Brent gets a few extra brownie points for making the "choking the chicken" joke again. I just got finished listening to it for the third (or was it the fourth? ) time on my MP3 player, -which also has some Farscape music on it, like the soundtrack to PKW- and I just loved listening to it! The Braca review was great, as well as the the insight into Green Chalk er, I mean Grunchlk. But the thing I especially loved the was interview with Keith, which was great that he started right of the bat with a Kermit impression. Also, I almost had a little weep of joy when I heard Virginia Hey do that brief little "You're listening to the ScapeCast" bit... Keep up the brilliant work!

P.S. Keith, I got your Farscape novel House of Cards last year for Christmas, I thought it was absolutely brilliant! I could definitely imagine the characters as if it were an actual episode! My favorite part is when this one person -I forget who- is questioning D'Argo about his tattoos in a rather annoying way, and he shuts him up by replying "They're a chronicle of the people I've killed because they annoyed me." I had to put the put the book down for about 5 minutes, I was laughing so hard. Plus, I'm a big CSI NY fan, so I'm planning on getting your tie-in novel to that. And if you DO ever get your wish to write a Doctor Who story that fits into the in the new series, I'll definitely pick it up in a heartbeat, especially if it involves the Tenth Doctor, with preferably Donna or Rose as his companion, or even if he's solo. Lots of luck to you on the Farscape comics, man! I look forward to getting them!

P.P.S. Btw everyone, I'm sorry if I keep using the word "brilliant". I've been re-watching the David Tennant Doctor Who eps like a madman in order to prepare to get in character for Halloween. I'm gonna be dressing up as the Tenth Doctor, and I ordered the toy sonic screwdriver online -which I now possess- so there would be no mistaking who I am, even if the amount of Whovians here in Michigan is a bit on the small side. Heck, I may even post a pic of me in costume on the Scaper Photo thread at Terra Firma...

[KRAD]

^ Thankee very much!

[AmméLeep]

Really enjoyed the Braca article, and even liked the Grunchlik one (even though I really despised the character!).  Mr Comic Book was entertaining -- I think it's the first time I've ever HEARD exclamation points!   As I've said before, who knew that I'd start reading comics at my advanced age?

PS.  I LOVE this tagline:  "Don't you know there ain't no devil, there's just God when he's drunk." ---Tom Waits, "Heartattack and Vine"
