Joe has finally finished Knights of the Old Republic 2 (KOTOR II) and is ready to talk about it. That’s right, finally, we get to talk about this 22 year old game and imagine a much better future for Star Wars than we got. Oh well, we will always have Kreia.

Today we break through the illusions. But first, Sarah and Joe must contend with our real lives, which means, Joe must confront that fact that Gundam Seed Destiny is pretty bad, meanwhile Sarah continues to cycle through hobbies.

In Fushigi Yugi, we resolve some plot points very quickly to get to what really matters, school life. Or, magic hallucination school life. Whatever you want to call it. The important thing is that we get to see Yui make jokes. Man, that’s so good. That should just be the show…but it isn’t. Then we get yet another reason Miaka and Tamahome can’t be together. Will this keep them apart for good???

This week we get stuck in some illusions. But first, Joe and Sarah recap our regular lives.

In Fushigi Yugi, new comer Tomo is making a name for himself with his sex-based plans that will definitely work. Then Miaka learns that maybe fewer people are dead than she thought. Meanwhile, the rest of the Suzaku seven hangout in the desert.

Things take a turn this week. For Joe, that means he got sick, while for Sarah that means she has a new bike! You can tell which of us is doing better!

In Fushigi Yugi, we start culling through the cast of characters in ways that are very dumb. Then we hangout in an ice cave and learn that there are more fetch quests ahead of us. And then, a wolf shows up and derails the whole thing with a series of completely baffling plot points that leads us into what I can only describe as the “stupid zone”.

This week I hope your brought your snow shoes. But first, Sarah recounts her advantures at San Japan, while Joe has finally finished the last book of Earthsea. Then we reflect on how much Bible lore we both know.

In Fushigi Yugi, Nuriko tries desperately to talk about her character backstory and feelings while all the other members of the Suzaku seven ignore her. Tamahome gets a hint from Yui that this is all a story in a book which is so shocking he forgets that Suboshi is a guy he hates. And Miaka does a cool sword attack….oh right, and the other Suzaku Seven are here too I guess.

This week we get some recaps. But first Joe recounts all of his recent movie watches while Sarah is rewatching Bleach.

In Fushigi Yugi, we check in on Tamahome’s family, and yeah, it’s going about as good as we expected. We get introduced to a new bad guy and then it’s time to sail off. But first we get a recap episode. Then we sail off. Meanwhile, Keisuke does a little library investigation of his own. Will Miaka take his advice? No, the answer is no.

This week we hit the midpoint of Fushigi Yugi. But first, Joe talks about the many movies he’s watched while Sarah went to a convention with both friends/guests of the podcast!

Then in Fushigi Yugi, we watch as Nakago’s master plan comes to fruition as his master spy takes center stage. Wow, I can’t wait to see what the plan is! What’s this, I’m getting a phone call! Hello? Uh huh… just one guy you say… well that surely can’t be true… and he… into a river… that can’t possibly be right…

Anyway, that plan blows up but that does mean Miaka gets a new quest! And they’re gonna head off but not before Taiitsukun shows up to give some devastating news to the teen romance subplot. Geez, this really can’t get any worse huh? At least we can all check in on Tamahome’s cute siblings for a good time right? RIGHT?

This week we learn about the importance of background checks. But before that, Sarah and Joe catch up. Joe has finally been freed from Wuthering Heights while is shipping Spiderman and Black Cat.

In Fushigi Yugi, evil Tamahome has decided that he does need to kill Miaka after all just as Hotohori decides that this is finally his shot with her. Miaka meanwhile tries to take a stroll into a river. Ill advised I’d say! Then Tamahome and Hotohori have it out over their love rivalry and we learn about Nagako’s super secret backup plan.

We’re back this week for three episodes. IRL Joe gets his power knocked out while Sarah does some virtual farming and web-slinging.

In Fushigi Yugi it’s time to retrieve Tamahome, but will all go according to plan? Yui is still in her feelings about Miaka’s betrayal and honestly she seems like she’s having a blast being a evil queen. Unfortunately, Nakago has other plans, poison brain-washing related plans. That’s right, Tamahome goes evil mode this episode and even gets a cool earring!

Spoiler Alert: Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Legend of Korra, and the Avatar comic books.

We get back into the swing of making bonus content with Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender. And this time with a guest. Welcome to the podcast, JP!

We all like nostalgia movie sequels made years after the fact right? Tron Legacy, The Matrix 4, Jurassic world. It’s always a good move. Haven’t we all asked ourselves what Aang and the gang have been up to in their early 20s? Katara and Aang building republic city, Toph training some randos metal-bending, Sokka inventing a weird bike, and Zuko being the firelord or whatever. Just like we all pictured. The only thing we need now is a hot sixth guy who maybe holds the key to Aang’s heritage. That would be perfect, just as long as he isn’t secretly evil…
