So Farscape! – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Your humble hosts will soon return for an adventure through the vast constellations of Star Trek's decades on TV, especially the lesser-loved stories!

But instead of bitching about why they’re bad, we’re going to find the joy in each of them, because everybody loves the great episodes, but it takes dedication, insight, and hard-working fools to love the clunkers too.

And by Jove, we are those fools!

Positive, inclusive and optimistic (though not uncritical!) we try to find the brilliance even in the least-loved episodes of our favorite TV shows.

We finish off Season 2 of Farscape with another round-up of the season's adventures: the highs, the lows, the through-lines and character arcs that have manifested since the show found its footing in season 1!

Also, we're taking questions this time! Our listeners have called and written in with some fantastic questions about Kay's experience as a first-timer, Khaki's rediscovery of the series through a more critical eye, and some delightful what-ifs that really spark the imagination!
