'Objects In Space'
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.
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.
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.
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.
Oh yes. She does have some strange...body movements.
"Jeremiah Crichton" gets mentioned a lot due to the badger.
...there was a badger?
On his face.
The beard-thing. shudder
Oh. Yeah. That was unfortunate.
Oh, another thing I thought was funny was when Durka claimed he would hunt Crichton down and kill him, Crichton responded, "Get in line."
I always burst out laughing when characters say what I'm thinking.
