Spike's Bitches 25 to Life  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

The beauty of John is that, when all this starts, he's a decent guy with few issues. You get to see his issues blossom, take form, and hold conversations with him.

The beauty of the show is that what starts off as a fairly straight forward good/bad black/white sort of deal becomes a hell of a lot more complex, and even your heroes aren't always the good guys.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I'm getting the impression that I should watch some Farscape at some point.

You so should. I didn't discover it 'til Season 4 was starting, but led by the crack dealers brilliant individuals of this board, I started watching. Am now well and truly hooked.

BWAH!

Slightly delayed (I'm posting across the baby) cross post with Hec there.

Pimp. Pimp.

For every new viewer, Suela gets a toaster.

After reading Hec's and Plei's posts, I think I'm overdue for some DVD re-watch. I miss my Crichton. Think I know what I'm watching when I get home from dance tonight.

Always Anti-fascist!

Not all at once, sure. It probably says something about me that my fictional heroes continue to be people that I should back away from slowly, irl. Except Munch...he's at every Moveon thing, bitching about Diebold.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Farscape is everything that you didn't realize was missing from Star Trek.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You and bon bon should go fictional double dating.

Probably... Maybe I'll make her a Wirehead. It's Anti-Hero-rific. (Out of consideration of the leading man conversation cause the lead is Baltimore, though.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Now that I'm watching BB on SG:1, it amuses me no end that the aliens who put the wormhole knowledge into Chricton's brain were also called Ancients. He can't escape the wormholes!

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I'm getting the impression that I should watch some Farscape at some point.

I'm just going to add a "hell yeah" to the FARSCAPE pimpage. The first half of season 1 is hit or miss (and much more stand-alone-ish than arc-y), but once it gets rolling it kicks all kinds of ass.

The wheels start to fall off during season 4, but they mostly managed to get them back on for the mini-series wrap-up.
