I love Plei's moment. That whole arc.

I think it's been more than a year since I Netflixed. I may need to do again.

Favorite Farscape moments:

The Premiere -- halfway through the episode, Aeryn and Crichton have escaped Moya, and Crichton is sort of left to his own devices while Aeryn tries to hook back up with Crais's command carrier. He wanders just a few feet and stands there with a thunderstruck expression on his face and says, "I'm on another planet." It's just such a real thing to do at that moment.

BBBTF --
Aeryn: What is the MATTER with him??
Zhaan: (sigh) He is Crichton.

The Hidden Memory -- Crichton collapses into seizures in his cell, and we realize that Stark is actually a sane, kind person (actually, the last time I liked Stark at all)

LATP -- During "negotiations" with the queen, Scorpius shows himself, and Crichton folds instantly, crippled by fear.

LGM -- "I'm going to go to Scorpius now." And Aeryn's perfectly practical response to that statement.

There are a lot of little grace moments, quips, bits of character -- it's pretty rewarding on rewatch, I have to say (especially the first episodes, full of establishing detail).

I'm so glad I'm not going to work tomorrow, because I need to rewatch the entire series right now.

I think I may just forget about Netflixing it, and go on and buy the series. I think I'll enjoy it more if I can just mainline it.

P-C, you should write these up in your LJ.

I will write a new show squee post when I finish the first season tonight or tomorrow night. And maybe another post after each season, if there is interest.

Aeryn: What is the MATTER with him??
Zhaan: (sigh) He is Crichton.

Hee. I love that moment too. And that's also one of my favorite episodes so far, the first one I really liked. I'm a Groundhog Day fan, after all.

Also, apologies to ita, but I do appreciate the whitefonting.

You do understand you can't rely on it, PC and anyone is well within thread rules to top, right?

I know. I'm trying to be careful.

Yeah, I'm stepping out of all the whiteont, because some of it is future SG that I caught thinking it was only past Farscape. I used to be pure. Such is the risk of CTRL-A.

Just watched "Bone to Be Wild." I'm kind of impressed with the fact that they made both Amlee and Berni so grey. I mean, as soon as Amlee said, "I'm not hungry," I figured the twist was that she was the one eating everyone (especially because her "Save my family!"/"Oh, yeah, he ate them all by now" was totally sketch). But then there were like four more twists after that until I couldn't figure out whether either one of them was good or bad. They both had appropriate perspectives; it wasn't their fault those perspectives happened to be dangerous to others...right?

But...WTF ZHAAN IS A PLANT WTF? I mean, I was finally accepting the whole "living ship" concept, and now you throw this ridiculous "sentient plant" thing at me? I have no problem with sentient plants, actually; it's when they fucking look like people that it throws me off. I mean, THAT'S PLANT CLEAVAGE, DUDE. Wait...why the fuck would a plant need breasts? Yes, this explains why light makes her horny, but what about all that Unity shit? All those Delvians were living UNDERGROUND. And she has plant camouflage? And plant temperature regulation? And plant sex drive? WHAT THE FUCKING HELL IS THIS SHIT?

Although I do give props for the fact that Zhaan simply made an "animal-centric" comment and let it be rather than flounce away in a snit until Crichton apologized heartwarmingly at the end of the episode and resolved never to be so prejudiced again.

And speaking of Crichton and heartwarming: HE KILLED SOMEONE ELSE. Geez, dude. At this rate he's going to off half the galaxy.

I love that Aeryn was able to bond with Moya's child. It makes perfect sense not only because she's a Peacekeeper but also because she has Pilot's DNA. I mean, she's almost like the kid's mom and pop in one package.

Scorpius is awesome. I think he needs to rule the universe. I think he needs to fight Darth Vader. But I have no goddamn clue what is up with that ending, because I thought he was going to kill her, not...let her feed from him or something? Maybe the next episode will clarify what the crap that was all about.

But...WTF ZHAAN IS A PLANT WTF?

Explains the phtogasm, though.
