Christopher Heyerdahl & Morena Baccarin in the latest episode of Gotham entitled “Rogues’ Gallery”. It also featured Allyce Beasley who I used to love on Moonlighting and overall an excellent episode to kick off the second half of the season.
A fun Amanda Tapping wallpaper entitled “Spiral” created by Dave Daring.
Welcome to the final seasonal bonus show, this week we are looking at an episode of Farscape entitled Green Eyed Monster which was written by Ben Browder and deals very heavily with the John and Aeryn relationship, set within the third season the bulk of the story takes place on board Talyn with Crais as an ever present brooding element and one more entity that can easily be overlooked. While it can be considered a very shippy episode lets not forget that at this point John has been cloned or more to the point duplicated, there are literally two of him one on board Talyn and the other on Moya so there is still plenty of scifi involved not least the living ships that inhabit the Farscape universe. We also get plenty of laughs (to offset the drama) thanks to Stark and Rygel on board the shuttle pod who play chicken with the huge Budong after Talyn has been swallowed and may only reappear as a waste by product.
Green Eyed Monster is one of my favourite episodes of Farscape, it’s pretty much a stand alone in the season arc but does become the pivotal point of the relationship between Aeryn and this John who is technically the same John as on board Moya but obviously has his own memories from the point of duplication. Having two Crichtons also means the writers were free to well kill off a major character whenever the mood struck them and as the story progresses here and on Moya that too will complicate the romance within this classic scifi series.
Many thanks to everyone that has listened to our bonus shows, the numbers always dip over the holidays as everyone has better things to do and more time to do them but we’ve been very pleased with the response however next week we are back with the regular Stargate shows and first off for 2015 is The Return parts 1 and 2 in a feature length show, Miles from The Scifi Diner Podcast will be joining us for that so stay tuned.

Here we are again for another bonus episode, we are paying a second visit to the world of RL Stine and The Haunting Hour series for the episode “Sick” which tells the tale of a young lad who is feeling under the weather and finds himself alone in his home as some strange events take place in and around the house. It may be a case of him being delusional thanks to the illness and medication or maybe everything that is happening is exactly what it appears to be, has an alien lifeform taken residence in his home, do the government know all about it and the messages coming from the tv are genuinely offering support and a lifeline is his battle to save the world.
Sick is a season two episode of The Haunting Hour and stars Garrett Ryan as Alex the young lad who talks to himself way too much, has rather bad personal habits and seems to be quite a handful and may be a little too pampered and spoiled for his own good. It could be that once alone his overactive imagination kicks in combined with the smothering of his mother and her talk of “quarantine” all comes to a head and this alien invasion emerges to pretty much ruin his day. The beauty of this episode is that we are left not quite knowing the actual truth, there is evidence that it’s all in his imagination but also we are presented with enough evidence to believe he is the victim of a conspiracy and fighting for his life.
It was just Alan and myself this week and next week we have the final bonus episode and we’ll be looking at Farscape, we’ll let you figure out the episode in question but it’s a good one so we hope you join us for that. Once the Farscape bonus episode is done we will be returning to the regular Stargate shows beginning with the Atlantis episode “The Return” and Miles joined us for that.

Hallmark blitzed the holiday period with their crop of new tv movies centered in and around christmas and The Christmas Ornament was certainly not the worst of the bunch, a simply tale of a couple of mildly damaged souls who found each other amongst the chaos that is the holiday season. Yeah you can figure out the ending within minutes of watching the movie but that’s not why you watch these sorts of stories.
Anyhow the movie aired this afternoon in the UK and it featured a few familiar faces from Stargate, one better known but all accomplished actors with impressive tv resumes. May I present Jewel Staite who played Jenna, Laura Mennell who played Rebecca and Nels Lennarson who played Dale.
