Yeah. And you have plans to watch the rest of the show. Excellent. (Although I adore Ray Vecchio.)
Remind me to remind you about that Speranza story later.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I'll remind myself to remind you to remind me.
I do love Vecchio. Not sure about how I feel about Inspector Thatcher though. I like Camilla Scott well enough, but she's got the sort of irritating Sorkinesque neurotic mannerisms. Reminds of of Dana in her not-so-great moments some times. (The Sports Night Dana, not our Dana.)

Oh good! Everybody's always so pro-RayK. I know there was chemistry and hottitude, but I really enjoyed the first two seasons. A lot. And this is purely my own issue and I never (hardly ever) bring it up because I really don't want at all to start a RayK vs. RayV thing. At all. Really.
It's just nice to see somebody else have a nice word for RayV.

If I only had a brain...
Thoughts as I wait, claws bared, for my Farscape Season 2 DVDs to show up:
- Crichton is disturbingly hot as a Peacekeeper, cold and arrogant and authoritative. Very disturbing.
- According to the commentary I read, Crais's increasingly disheveled
- Scorpius's chin bra? Still silly.
- Still love Crichton kissing Rygel. Lots.
- Does Scorpius get scarier? Because, chin bra.
- Peacekeeper Barbie! Snerk. I kept thinking "You know, I'm sure I
- I was listening to commentary this morning, and I loved Black's
- One of the best non-Joss commentaries I've ever heard is the entire Farscape gang ragging on "Jeremiah Crichton" in general. Beard abuse, plot abuse, effects abuse... excellent!

God knows I love the fic that came out of the later seasons, and CKR yum, but I think it was a better show in the first two seasons, and I happily tell that to anyone who asks.
Does Scorpius get scarier?
Among other things.

Yeah, the chin bra may be silly, but not half as silly as the mangey badger they stuck on Browder's face for that.

Thrive to spite them
For whatever reason Dad has taken to Farscape so we watch it together. He can never remember the name and just calls it The Space Show with The Blue Lady. He seems to really get a kick out of Rygel.
But I need to know when the dream sequence episode with people in leather and whips...and Crais in heels, because I don't think I can sit there and watch it with Dad. Could I just skip it or is it needed for plot reasons?
As for DS -- I swing both Rays. There should be more stories about RayV in vegas. And the psychological aftermath, there are some very good stories, but there should be more.

With you there. there were some good laughs in the later Ray K episodes, but I never felt the kind of trust between the characters that there was with Ray V, and the plots seemed to suffer from the increased absurdity later on.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
My biggest regret with Being Benton Fraser is that I couldn't figure out how to work RayV into it without bending an already bendy plot all out of shape.

Yeah, the first seasons were a better show, but I just never really warmed to RayV himself. But Fraser was (I think) a better character in those seasons.
