Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

Boxed Set, Vol. IV: It's always suicide-mission this, save-the-planet that.  

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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

ita, re: lipstick on character in BW....

I thought in the bar, she looked like the joker. Honest to goodness. I even commented on it to Beau. He said, "I was thinking the same thing."

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

It was a lot of makeup, and I couldn't stare away from her lips. But I want some of that colour for myself...

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

Yeah, Farscape does bring the pain and the angst. It also brings the funny and the hot (and sometimes uncomfortably all of them mixed in together). I hope you stick with it because it is a WILD ride. Plus, real honest to goodness character arcs. Until the wheels fall off in season four (though somewhat redeemed by the mini-series).

Crichton's journey is something special, though.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

Did you see the ep later where Pilot recalls how he arrived on Moya?

I just finished The Flax, so I don't think so. That is the problem with watching the episodes so close together. I'm sure I am missing quite a bit. I'll have to pick those things up on the rewatch though. It's too good not to keep going quickly.

Off to mainline (but not Mainline) more Farscape

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Crichton's journey is something special, though.

Oh yes.

I just finished The Flax, so I don't think so.

It's in season two.

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

The most shocking thing to me about DNA MAD SCIENTIST was Zhaan's participation. Up to that point, despite her prisoner status, they had been showing her to be a token empath character. D'Argo and Rygel were not a suprise at all in their willingness, but it was Zhaan's involvement that really made it a shocking moment.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

As I've said before, Farscape is everything that you didn't realize was missing from Star Trek.

I always called the show Blake's Seven on acid. (And Star Trek Voyager was Blakes's Seven on Valium.) And now that I've actually seen Blake's Seven, I think that's even more true!

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.

A friend of mine just sent me this link: http://stnv.dragonfly.com

I watched. I went, "Oh...my." Was this a fan film (episode?)? Because "Oh... my" and fan film are usually mutually exclusive for me.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, jesus. They played those episodes over and over at DragonCon on the con TV channel. (The con TV channel used to show cool stuff like the LoTR movies, but then the copyright hammer came down on them.)

They strike me as really fanboyish creations, with emphasis on the boy. That's not a value judgment -- I've just spent so much time in the world of female-dominated fandom that the difference hits me really hard. The episode I saw about half of at D*C was like canon exploded everywhere.

"We should have an episode with the Guardian of Forever! And Christopher Pike! And the Doomsday Machine! And time travel! ALL AT THE SAME TIME and then SHIT CAN BLOW UP!"

Though they got George Takei. That's pretty fucking awesome.

DragonCon. Must be some sort of demo then. Thanks. If I wasn't antisocial I'd have gone to DragonCon.
