Crap. My mother's computer won't play it.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Does she not have VLC, Dana? I had to use that; WinAmp wouldn't play it.

My mother? Have VLC? Ha. No, and I'm not going to be installing anything here, so it will have to wait. Which is probably for the best, considering the state of my yuletide story.

The vid is spoilery, if you sort of squint at it sideways, but not for SGA.

Want my tapes, when I'm done copying them?
Sure. I'll email you with my address tomorrow, if I wake up early enough.

Grump. But making both available is nice. And confirming that they'll continue to do half-season sets is also good.
Finished copying Max. There's a lot of highly random stuff on the tapes as well. A surprising amount of which features Sting. I had no idea I had Stormy Monday on tape all this time. Or that Sean Bean was in it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
So, more Farscape talk:
"Rhapsody in Blue" was very, very slow, but it was interesting. I had been wanting Zhaan's latent rage issues to come up again, though I didn't think she had some super special rage-suppressing powers that the rest of her species did not possess. That was weird.
"Jeremiah Crichton" was an episode title I'd heard a lot, so I wondered why people kept mentioning it. It was a pretty good episode. The teaser reminded me of the S2 BSG premiere, except it was kind of the opposite perspective. And while at first I kind of groaned at the cliché of Rygel just happening to resemble their savior, they explained it in a very cool way. Although I still wanted to punch that priestess in the face. A lot. Too one-note.
"Durka Returns"! Way to give away your teaser in the title, guys. But this was a very good episode after a string of so-so/good ones (I was all set to go from like to love, and then it...stopped being awesome). I'm incredibly impressed with the continuity ("Try not to fall off the ship this time" ahahahaha Crichton you rascal) and the fact that callbacks so often become plot points. Even though sometimes it feels obtrusive (I remember Zhaan's not a priest anymore, can't you just have previouslies?! ALSO YES I KNOW MOYA'S PREGNANT OMG).
I had been awaiting the introduction of Chiana (which I had been pronouncing "kee-YAHN-uh" in my head, oops) because I really liked her character design. Farscape has pretty awesome makeup people. Anyway, I'm not sure how I feel about her. She's a bit...nuts.
When Silas was found dead, I thought, "Oh, they assume it was Chiana. Which means it was Durka." And then I thought they confirmed that. And right before Crichton asked his final question, I knew what it was, and I thought, "Cooool. Good on you, show."
I still don't know how—oh, Rygel's stupid bomb snapped him out of it? Whatever. Must not be very powerful cleansing even though it takes ONE HUNDRED FUCKING CYCLES to complete.
But it was a good, exciting episode with lots of psychopaths running around.

Thrive to spite them
I love Chiana! Gigi Edgley did such a fantastic job with the character -- especially the way her body moved, it was so different from anyone of the other characters.
