'Dirty Girls'
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.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
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.
Right. Like how PKs are wildly xenophobic, except when they're having sex with aliens.
Well, he doesn't LOOK like an alien.
My working hypothesis as of mid-season2 is that Aeryn is actually very naive about Peacekeeper politics and believes what she's told; in fact, it's as corrupt as any other system, and people with pull can do whatever they damned well want to.
Well, not only is there more in the way of PK/alien sexuality (e.g., Bug's Life/Nerve), there's more about PK daily life in S2 and then in S3, and it only becomes less logical as it goes along.
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.)
the Look at the Princess 3 parter remains my favorite "to be continued" episodes ever. that was damn good television.
My working hypothesis as of mid-season2 is that Aeryn is actually very naive about Peacekeeper politics and believes what she's told; in fact, it's as corrupt as any other system, and people with pull can do whatever they damned well want to.
That's a pretty good rationale, actually, given what you've already seen (Scorpius and Jenavian) and what you haven't (Grayza). Aeryn is already rather disillusioned about the Peacekeeper way, and it really only continues.
I think that it a fair analysis - Areyn was such the good soldier. and so well programed that even when she knows something isn't adding up - she still gets the 'correct' answer.
So, um, I missed The Office tonight. Any idea where I can get it nowadays?
