Mal ,'Out Of Gas'
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi or fantasy) 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.
just had a nostalgia bug bite and watched an ep of Farscape. i chose Meltdown. damn John and Aeryn are hot. BB and CB have probably THE best chemistry i have ever seen between two actors.
Ha! That's like my least favorite episode. At least of that season. I was bored out of my mind and rolling my eyes when conscious.
Coincidentally, I also caught an ep of Farscape recently, "Bad Timing." Oh, crazy John. And it has one of my favorite lines: "Thank you for teaching me to kill again."
My Farscape nostaglia begs for A Bugs Life.
Wait, what happens in Meltdown?
(I've only seen most eps once and can rarely connect up the eps with their titles.)
That's the one where smooth jazz forces John and Aeryn to make out the whole time.

um. ???
(ftr, I'm against smooth jazz and for John & Aeryn making out)

that's because you're a crazy non-shipper.

my Farscape nostalgia begs for a complete rewatch. somebody in a comm i'm in posted them all and i'm so very tempted to do a rewatch.

it's the one where Talyn is being enticed toward a sun and this mist stuff causes all the people onboard to give into their basic impulses. ie John and Aeryn spend a majority of the episode completely touchy touchy and HAWT!!

Well, no. I mean, yes, but no. I did root for John and Aeryn because I found their relationship interesting and I generally support canon 'ships. But watching them make out for an hour wasn't very interesting in terms of their relationship.

Ha! Kenny G. has a lot to answer for. My favorite episode is still Nerve/The Hidden Memory. (What? They can't be separated into two!) Just, realizing that the series was willing to go there, and to engage in its setting as a canon and an arc -- watching it first run, in 1999, that was so thrilling. Also, I mean, they are cool episodes full of brass-tacks moments, and the last time I ever liked Stark.

And how. Man, did I grow to hate him.

It's interesting because on first viewing, I was actually a little disappointed with "The Hidden Memory" as an episode because it felt like a cop-out whatever thing, but as the series progressed, I grew to appreciate it as the moment the arc of the show was born. (What "there" are you referring to, that the show went to, specifically?)

The first season was an odd mishmash, as the show worked out what kind of show it was going to be. The torture scenes in those episodes were the first hint to the apocalyptic variety show we were eventually going to get.
(Actually, I liked it better than the later incarnations of both Peacekeeper/Scorpius excesses and the John Crichton Psychotic Mania Show, because those things were new and frightening, and played very, very straight. The show went OTT, as things went along, and I'm much less receptive to an OTT presentation than I am to a subtle one.)
