Another GREAT episode .... well done jirls !!!!

Very nice job on the Xhalax review Kelly ... for a charactor that was only in 3 eps, she had a BIG impact !!!!

The Listener Feedback was too cool ... I can't belive he did the entire show in 10 days ... sounds like heaven !!!

GREAT idea on doing the "Through the Looking Glass" on a book ... I will have to check out Ender's Game.

Once again Brent ... I really like the timeline segments !!!

ohhh ... Tralk Talk ... WOW !!!!

Keep Scaping !!!!

Only 11 days till the comic !!!!!!!!!!!

[Kevin Bachelder]

GREAT idea on doing the "Through the Looking Glass" on a book ... I will have to check out Ender's Game.

Michael did an excellent job on that article.  I really enjoyed the Ender's Game audiobook.

Only 11 days till the comic !!!!!!!!!!!

15 days but who's counting.

Enjoyed the articles, and reserved the first 3 Ender books at my library!

[Michael Falkner]

I enjoyed the Xhalax Sun article.  It was good to see how much of an impact a well-developed character can have in only two or three episodes.

The timeline was also good, and I can see how much John/Aeryn relationship building the creative staff put into season three.

I laughed out loud at the Question of the Week response, Nicola.  Laughed.  Out.  Loud.    Now where did you keep the chainsaw at Burbank?   

Michael did an excellent job on that article.

Thank you.  I especially loved Matthew Merback's interpretation of the novel for the article.  Excellent choice!

Enjoyed the articles, and reserved the first 3 Ender books at my library!

My job here is finished.   

No, not really... here's a link for the rest of the Ender's Saga.

I laughed out loud at the Question of the Week response, Nicola.  Laughed.  Out.  Loud.    Now where did you keep the chainsaw at Burbank?   

You really don't want me to answer that question do you?   Just be glad you didn't find out.

Now where did you keep the chainsaw at Burbank?

Didn't you know that you can order them off Creation's website? Unfortunately, they will charge you $7.25 for shipping, so it's always better to just buy it at the door.

[Mysterious Stranger]

Hmmm... I'm assuming there will be one more episode before year's end correct?  There's a certain piece I'm looking forward to hearing

I need to charge my iPod tonight so I'll download this episode at the same time.  Gotta have something to listen to on the bus tomorrow.

[Kevin Bachelder]

Hmmm... I'm assuming there will be one more episode before year's end correct? 

Yes, we are planning on releasing one more episode before the end of the year.

Another brilliant episode! I've been a huge fan of Orson Scott Card's work since I was a kid, so I was happy -and a bit surprised- that you guys chose "Ender's Game" for a "Through the Looking Glass" segment. I also really enjoyed the character review for Xhalax Sun. It's kinda weird, though. When I first saw how cold and distant she was in the episode "Thanks for Sharing", I had a bit of a mental flashback to the first season, and I was reminded of how cold and distant Aeryn was in the beginning. I was totally like "Oh my God, that is the most extreme case of 'Like mother, like daughter' I've ever seen in my life!"

The J&A timeline was good, too. I agree that with all the J&A 'shippiness in Season 3, it definitely makes sense to split it up. I had a sneaking suspicion that it was some kinda weird "unrealized realities" kinda thing in Tralk Talk. I really look forward to hear the next episode! Good luck!

P.S. I'm a big Harry Potter fan myself, Kimberly. If you wanna discuss the series with a fellow fan, drop me a line.

P.P.S. If any of you used to play those old point-and-click adventure games that were on the PC all those years ago, here's a bit of useless trivia: Orson Scott Card wrote the sword-fighting insults for the LucasArts classic "The Secret of Monkey Island".

Great episode again, even if Kevin and Brent were missing

MadAboutScorpy, I'd join in on a Harry Potter discussion, but I'd call myself a late and NOT fanatical fan of the series

Thanks for the articles on OSC's Ender's Game series, though I hear Orson's a bit of a dick with bad politics.

And I want an mp3 of each Timeline montage. What better way to convert a FarScape newbie?

Great episode again, even if Kevin and Brent were missing

Thanks, but... where did I go?

Wherever you go, there you are.
