Liked the episode, especially Michael's article.  What was that cool music that opened and closed it (I of course know the Stones cut included)?

[Crackers DO Matter]

Once again ... WOW !!!

All of it was GREAT, but I really thought that Michael's - "Why Does the World Need Farscape?" was off the map good !!!


( Brent ... nice work on the voice work on my question of the week ... perfect !! )

Keep Scapin !!!

[Brent Barrett]

That intro/outro music was the closing theme from the HBO miniseries From the Earth to the Moon.

CDM: No problemo. 

[Michael Falkner]

Thanks everyone for your kind words.  I appreciate it.

Timothy Zahn says hello:  I can't tell you how excited I was when I heard this.  Timothy Zahn is one of my inspirations in writing, and as a member of the Star Wars fan community that survived the "dark times" before the Thrawn Trilogy, I join thousands who owe him an unpayable debt of gratitude.  Nicely played, guys!

Yondelao: The Man Behind the Pan-Galactic Curtain by Janis Keating:  As always, Janis, nicely done.  I enjoy listening to your work as much as I enjoy reading it.  I loved the overall Wizard of Oz tie-in. 

The Beacon Guy:  I think he needs an official fan club. 


Still loving the show.  The bloopers with Kevin were hilarious!

The bloopers with Kevin were hilarious!

That was a one time thing...never happened before and will probably never happen again regardless of what anyone else tells you.

Timothy Zahn is a Farscape Fan.  When I talked to him at Calgary Con_Version in August, he told me he just finished a Farscape rewatch - and after my panel he was going to have go back and watch again!   (My job there is done. )

Brilliant!

Another great episode! I especially loved Mike's article. I personally think the world needs Farscape because it provides damn near limitless creatures for the Jim Henson Company to create, but that's just my biased opinion as a lifelong Henson fanatic. I also liked the allusions to "Wizard of Oz" in the article on Yondelao. I can't wait to hear the next episode! Good luck!

P.S. Just listened to it again and I've got another thing to say: Geez, Kevin! Who knew you could frell up so much...?

Hello - working my way backwards to catch up on a few of the latest chapters of Scapecast. 

Thanks for this one and especially " Why does the World need Farscape ? ". This piece reminds me how relevant the Farscape story is for our troubled times. Plus it is very true that Farscape is as fresh now as it was nearly ten years ago. Sadly so is the misery of the world stage.  Nice piece of writing.

[Danny Grazer]

Okay, just quickly passing through .  I wanted to say how wonderful I thought this episode was . I thought the article of " Why does the world need Farscape "  ( pretty great ! )  I mean it is a concept that I never thought of  . So it was very interesting to hear why . . And now I can't imagine the world not needing Farscape . . We would all be lost without it . And you guys and gals at ScapeCast would not have anything to talk about ( Uuhh, I mean Farscape related , anyway. . . I just love tuning in from week to week . Or whenever you are ready to share with the rest of the world what y'all have been working on .  It comes to me as precious gems . All the episodes , all the articles , etc. ) And the article about Yondalao , and all the articles .  Don't ever stop !

Which brings me to my next point . . . Kevin , I am very happy for you that there is another podcast in the making . . I am excited to hear more about it . And  perhaps I will have a listen to that podcast , as well .  I trust that if you are involved in it , I am going to enjoy it, as much as I do this one .   I am just picking my brain trying to guess what it will be . . .But as Zhaan says , " Time and patience " . . . She is right , in this case . . " Time and patience " is always the applicable course of action .

Oh, I did that on purpose to give Brent a blooper to use because our original takes were just too good...yup...that's my story and I'm sticking to it regardless of what Lindy says!

Thanks for the kind words...I expect the first episode of the new podcast will be released very soon and when it is I'll post about it here on the forums and mention more details on The Scapecast.


Kevin

P.S.  You'll also recognize some of the other folks who are involved on the new podcast as well.

 Yoyla...Yondo..Yondello...oh frell how do you say it again
- liked listening to the article with the Eidolons perspective and how it explained to me the
human/sebacean connection better..again, i enjoyed it in your voice Janice .

  Why Does the World Need FS
-what an inspiring article Michael !...i agree that the morals of FS are relevant to the human condition and that FS is about the human potential to overcome chaos and darkness...it's just what i'm hoping for in the future, that we can all live together in peace...if FS can help shape the thoughts of this generation like Star Trek did we just may have a brighter future...
-the history lesson was also very interesting, esp with the sound clips 

  Q of the Week
-Nicola, i could hear the disapproval in your voice
What Not To Wear... what was i thinking 

  Trivia Q
-3 out of 3 that i knew who they were talking to  ...0 out of 3 for the next sentence

Kevin- you are NOT easily replaceable and i'm nervous we'll be hearing less from you with your new podcast...
          listening to the World of FS on the SC would not be as enjoyable without you

[Nicola Wood]

  Q of the Week
-Nicola, i could hear the disapproval in your voice
What Not To Wear... what was i thinking 

Oh gosh no!  Not disapproval!   I was trying not to laugh!   

*must remember to not NOT laugh when reading QotWs - even when I wouldn't get through it without giggling*
