The Wynkahthu Job

November 26, 2016

An old friend has contacted the crew of the Ghost…and an old fiend as well. Smuggler and swindler Hondo, who still regards Ezra as a partner in crime, has a new partner in crime: repugnant slave trader Azmorigan. They know where a stockpile of treasure can be found, treasure stolen from the Empire – and if that includes weapons and other valuables, Hondo’s willing to cut Ezra in on the deal in exchange for the Ghost’s support. But Hera decides to put Zeb in charge of this caper, because she correctly guesses that, much like every other time Hondo has presented her crew with an offer they can’t refuse, they’re not hearing the whole story just yet.

Mars Season 2

Darkness Falls

By theLogBook.com
November 26, 2018

August 2042: After the death of her sister Joon, Commander Hana Seung withdraws into her duties in Olympus Town, but even then she seems distracted and distanced from the colony’s day-to-day problems. Still fuming over the discovery that Lukrum Industries is actively drilling into liquid water that may contain samples of active microbial life, Marta Kamen takes it upon herself to “borrow” one of the colony’s rovers to trespass on Lukrum’s land claim and collect water samples herself. A powerful solar flare disrupts power and communications planetwide, plunging both Olympus Town and Lukrum, as well as the Chinese orbital station, into darkness. With satellites and other systems silenced, Marta has no contact with Olympus Town, as well as no navigational aid to keep her headed in the right direction. Unless she can be located, she won’t last the night on the Martian plains.

Daleks!

Planet Of The Mechanoids

By theLogBook.com
November 26, 2020

Having lost the entire Dalek army hidden away in the Fifth Galaxy, the Emperor Dalek travels to the heart of Mechanoid space to propose an alliance with the longtime enemy of the Daleks. On Mechanus, the Mechanoid leader is skeptical of the proposal for cooperation, especially when the Emperor tries to avoid revealing that the powerful entity that has decimated Dalek forces was unleashed through the Dalek attack on Islos. Even as the Emperor and the Dalek Strategist confer with their Mechanoid counterparts, the tenuous truce between their armies breaks down quickly…while the transdimensional entity follows the Daleks to Mechanus.

written by James Goss
directed by Peter Caddock and Jon Doyle
music by Steve Foxon

Cast: Anjli Mohindra (Mechanoid Queen), Ayesha Antoine (Mechanoid 2150), Nicholas Briggs (The Daleks / The Machanoids)

Notes: This is the first on-screen appearance of the Mechanoids since the sixth episode of the 1965 Doctor Who story The Chase. The episode’s title, also shown on-screen, either settles or further complicates a long-running confusion over whether the Daleks’ enemies’ name is spelled “Mechanoid” or “Mechonoid”. The Mechanoids made only one prior TV appearance, but were frequent foils for the Daleks in the Century 21 Dalek comics of the 1960s, which continue to be a significant influence on this series’ visual style. Anjli Mohindra starred as Rani in The Sarah Jane Adventures’ second through fifth seasons, later reprising the role for Big Finish.
