November 21, 2013 Episode 069: In Base 8, This Is Episode 105
We open up this week's show by talking about math for no discernible reason, then move on to our usual topics: grousing about the procedural mechanics of Elementary, gushing about Deep Space Nine -- in this case, the delightfully silly "Our Man Bashir" and the brooding two-parter "Homefront" and "Paradise Lost" -- and raving about Friday Night Lights.
Next week, Jack's dad wants to talk to about a couple of things on LOST!, with "Something Nice Back Home," "Cabin Fever," and "There's No Place Like Home, Part 1."

November 14, 2013 Episode 068: "We Totally Spoil Breaking Bad in This Episode"
We do. You've been warned.
We also talk about another "okay" episode of Elementary, a disappointing episode of Friday Night Lights, and then vent about LOST, which gets flat-out mean in "Ji Yeon," "Meet Kevin Johnson," and "The Shape of Things to Come."
Next week, we're back to Deep Space Nine, with "Our Man Bashir," "Homefront," and "Paradise Lost."

November 07, 2013 Episode 067: "Weather Balloons"
This week, we return from our Halloween X-Files break to discuss Deep Space Nine, with "Starship Down," "Little Green Men," and "The Sword of Kahless." We also talk about Elementary's latest, "An Unusual Arrangment," then close out the show by talking about another great Friday Night Lights episode, "Nevermind."
Next week: LOST! gets mean, with "Ji Yeon," "Meet Kevin Johnson," and "The Shape of Things to Come." Seriously, these three episodes have a fucking body count.

October 30, 2013 Episode 066: "SPOOKY!"
[Warning: There are some pretty big Breaking Bad spoilers in this episode. Like, all the spoilers up to the second episode of the last season. So, if you wish to remain unspoiled, stop listening at around the 1:13:00 mark, then skip to about 1:28:00, and you should be fine. There. You've been warned. No complaining.]
It's Halloween, and we're celebrating it at the Podcastulacra by revisiting our old haunt, The X-Files. You may remember us talking about this show for a while last year, before Robby made it clear he had zero interest in continuing; this week, we look at "Die Hand Die Verletzt," "Grotesque," and "Bad Blood" to honor the spooky season, and Robby is reminded, again, why he insisted we stop watching The X-Files in the first place.
Before that, we talk about the most recent two episodes of Elementary, "Poison Pen" and "Ancient History," and after that, we briefly discuss Robby's binge watching of Breaking Bad and then check in on Friday Night Lights, with "It's Different for Girls."
Regularly scheduled programming returns next week, as we pick up Deep Space Nine and discuss "Starship Down," "Little Green Men," and "The Sword of Kahless."

October 15, 2013Episode 065: "The Feels"
We have a bunch of incredible television to talk about this week, folks. Good, good stuff from all our shows. And, of course, a Kate episode.
First, Elementary gets deep in "We Are Everyone," eschewing their more procedural elements something truly emotionally rewarding.
Then, LOST! hits us with (sigh) a Kate episode, "Eggtown," but then brings right back up again with the glorious "The Constant," which J. says is his favorite episode of the entire series. It's so good, in fact, that not even the disappointingly-familiar "The Other Woman" can bring us down.
Especially when Friday Night Lights brings us "Full Hearts," a triumph that's nothing but wall-to-wall goodness.
Robby also talks about Glee's "The Quarterback," as we find out if the writers figured out a way to write around the death of one our their star actors.
Next time: Deep Space Nine, with "Starship Down," "Little Green Men," and "The Sword of Kahless." Also, Robby's been watching Breaking Bad, so J. might throw the rest of the show out in favor of that. TUNE IN TO FIND OUT!

October 09, 2013 REPOST: Episode 063, Part 2: "The End of the Beginning"
Apparently, something happened and swallowed this episode whole. So here it is again.
And here's part two, in which we finish up "Confirmed Dead," talk about "The Economist," then finally get back to talking about Friday Night Lights, with "Homecoming."
EDIT: Forgot to put this in: a link to the story regarding the LOST! series bible that became public this week.Next week, we'll continue Deep Space Nine's fourth season, with "Hippocratic Oath" (Jem'Haddar!), "Indiscretion" (Dukat butt jokes!), and "Rejoined" (space lesbians!). Also, Elementary and Friday Night Lights. We'll try to keep it under three hours next week.
