Wonders if we should warn Betsy that asspulls and Stark go together like bread and butter. Thinks better of it.
Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

I was afraid of that. Him and his magic lighty face.
But now I know who Harvey is, so yea!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
The Locket makes me cry a lot. I forgive it the bad makeup and accents and time travel.

I envy you; I would love a big ol' shippy episode that worked that well for me. (Oh, okay, I have Look At The Princess part 3.)

I kind of like The Locket myself, gaping holes, asspulls and all.

Apart from production issues, my biggest issue is that as shown, John and Aeryn wasted twenty (fifty?) years together. I like to think that after fifty years with the guy she loves, even Aeryn Sun might admit as much to him. It isn't as if he wasn't just as wrinkly as she by the end.

I weep at lots of stuff. Under my crusty, ancient, cranky, curmudgeonly elder-goth-fag exterior - you know, the Alex that says, "I love children - done to a nice medium-rare over mesquite" - lies an incredibly sentimental goofball.
Gandalf falls? Crying. Doesn't make any difference that I've read the books twice yearly for 24 years, and I know what happens, and what happens NEXT. Crying.
Eagles out of the sun? Crying.
Boromir? Crying.
shrug
Jilli can tell you - just talking about the end of RotK, or "Sleeping in Light" from Babylon 5 makes me weepy and choked up. I made the vast, vast mistake of putting the RotK soundtrack in the car's CD player. The Eagles music came on and I almost had a wreck - hard to drive when your eyes runneth over.
Sap, thy name is Alex.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I see there is no magic in my heart. I hated that episode, and several others in that excessively sentimental and wrongheaded vein.
(Also, the whole Locket/never getting together thing doesn't really make sense -- or actually, the emotional/sexual culture of PKs never made sense, so lots of individual episode plots are like, "What do you need PKs to be this week??")

Yup. Early on Aeryn says "A friend would kill me. Family would do it quickly." Then we find out Peacekeepers don't do family.
