We continue our trip through the final season of Farscape with season 4, episode 5 - Promises. The crew finally are reunited (and it feels so good) with Moya, Pilot and Aeryn. And a not-so-welcome new addition to our crew. But Aeryn's not feeling all that well and the person who made her that way drops by for some revenge.

Then we finish our review and discussion of the last half of season 1 of Star Wars: The Acolyte with episodes 5 - 8. We liked the series overall, giving it 7 out of 8 stars (one episode really didn't go over well with us). We absolutely loved the intricate and wild lightsaber battles in these episodes. And loved speculating about the nature of Jedi vs. Sith, the Rule of Two and our creepy lurker buddy Darth Plagueis.

Episode #25! Not that we planned anything for this milestone, but we do have a larger than normal sized episode this time around. First up, Farscape season 4, episode 4 - Lava's a Many Splendored Thing. Still no sign of Aeryn (maybe next time). The crew lands on a barren planet covered in, you guessed it, lava, in search of food. Unfortunately things go about as well as you'd expect and they get trapped by a group of thieves whom Noranti mistakes as friendly freedom fighters. Cue the hijinks!

And then after Farscape, we recap and discuss the first four episodes of the latest Star Wars live action show on Disney+, The Acolyte. Despite the Internet kerfuffle and review bombing of the early episodes, we both liked it. We have some ideas on what might have been a more interesting premise for the main antagonist(s), but overall, we like the mystery they've set up so far. And one of us has some wild theories who the dark master behind things could be.

We wrap up the first multipart story of season 4 of Farscape - episode 3, What Was Lost (Part 2): Resurrection. We were not entirely impressed with part one, so see if we think they bring it home in part two and come to a satisfying conclusion. We do get to continue learning more about our new villain, Commandant Grayza. And they do give us some cliffhangers, or unresolved plot points at least, to chew on and hope they come back to them in the future.

And then after Farscape, we briefly discuss the latest Star Wars shorts on Disney+, Tales of the Empire. We liked how they filled in the gaps with Morgan Elsbeth's life that led her to where we first saw her in The Mandalorian, and later in Ahsoka. And we also liked the 2nd part with what happened to Barriss Offee, former Jedi. Even though one of us forgot she even existed.
