I was going to make my way here to ask the question and now I have the perfect excuse:

Did that seem "off" for Chiana to sleep with Dargo's son as the only way he wouldn't forgive her? I can see her picking a stranger, or even one of the crew, but Dargo had spent all that time, and a significant amount of that with her, searching the galaxy for his son. That seemed pointedly hurtful. As it was happening, I wasn't judging her so harshly because I thought it was a matter of getting carried away in the moment, but then she said it was engineered. Ouch.

Yeah, he called Ianto that in "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang." I, uh, may have watched that episode several times.

I, um, may have watched it several times as well. But, my attention was perhaps diverted by the visuals.

I assumed that Chiana, being a free spirit to the Nth degree, was feeling trapped by the increasingly serious relationship with D'Argo, and desperately went for the one thing she knew would break her free again.

Yeah, I can see that. I thought she acted a bit disappointed when she found out about D'Argo's farm plans and thought they didn't include her. Then it turned out he was going to surprise her with a proposal and she went to the other extreme. I guess her choosing a way out didn't surprise me, getting carried away with his son didn't surprise me, but it's the actual combination that I found harsh. This show just keeps me reeling. Pilot's arm, the way Moya's first pilot was killed, and now Chiana's choosing D'Argo's son...wow.

Oh, and I am still more in love with Aeryn Sun.

As much as Chiana was capable of fighting with and holding her own with D'Argo, once she knew he was going to propose to her I think she knew she wouldn't be able to hurt him to his face by turning him down. How that translated in her head to the better option being having sex with his son so he'd be angry enough to break it off with her, I don't know. God knows she had enough backbone to face down everyone else she wanted to tell off. I keep trying to remind myself that in terms of ages, Chiana is quite young. Her interpersonal skills occasionally suck.

I was thinking this too. D'Argo's son and Chiana looked like they were around the same age. The pairing, removing D'Argo as a factor, made sense to me.

ZOMG Michael Rosenbaum at DragonCon.

I hope they pull Marsters onto some Smallville panels and leave more Gareth David Lloyd for me me me. Though I will have to go see Rosenbaum at least once.

ita is me. Only, you know, cooler. I thought Owen went out well, but Tosh ... Tosh broke me. I really didn't expect them to take out two real characters at once.

Tosh really, seriously broke me, especially her surprise goodbye that the built in to the computer program to remove Torchwood personnel. I am sorry that Owen only got to say goodbye to Tosh, appropriate as that was on a number of levels.

Also, Jack handles being buried alive (with no COFFIN!) for almost 2 millenia really, REALLY well.

Aeryn Sun is teh awesome.

Primeval is totally cheesy and has lousy gender politics. Most of the characters are deeeeeply stupid. I don't know why I keep watching it; I think it's because it's so silly, and the dinosaurs are fun.

What's next? A Mastodon! Velociraptors let loose in a mall! That's the fun bit. Also, they play tricks with time: there's even a canonical butterfly incident.

There's also something of a conspiracy arc, but it doesn't make a lot of sense. And again with the lousy gender politics. Also, they seriously need a new costume designer. I've never seen such badly dressed heroes in my life.

Hmmm, I think Primeval is what BBCA is running once Robin Hood Season 2 is done.

I have concluded that I am more pissed off than sad at Toshiko's death. I'm going to be even more poed if they replace her with Mickey because Mickey does not equal Tosh.
