I'm hoping she gets her Season 3 and 4 recaps up by Friday.
Actually, I should probably get around to rewatching everything from Season 2.5 to 4.5, shouldn't I?

BB: No. I auditioned like a couple hundred other guys. In fact, I was talking to Nathan Fillion about it down at Comic-Con. And he had auditioned for the same thing.
GW: He auditioned for "Crichton," too?
BB: He had auditioned for "Crichton" as well. I was saying, "How come everything I go out for you get?" And he goes, "I auditioned for Farscape!" I go, "No, you didn't!" "Yes, I did!" So, there you go. The one that got away from Nathan.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
No offense to Browder, but I'd love to see Fillion's Crichton.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
Fillion probably would have been good, but i really can't see anyone else but Ben in that role.
man, i really need to get all four seasons of that show. why does it have to be so damn expensive?

I've seen Fillion play crazy, and he doesn't hold a candle to Ben in that respect.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I doubt I'd have made it past the first season with Fillion as Chricton. He gives me hives.

I love Fillion. It would be interesting to him as Crichton, but Ben Browder, I think, probably brought more depth, or, maybe width, to the role. Also, I ♥ him, and the chemistry between CB and BB, well, I think that would have been hard to top.
Gotta go read the BB interview now. I miss him on my screen.

NF does great at the goofy (Johnny!) and the hardass (Mal!) but BB so owned Crichton that I can't begin to imagine NF starting out as a geeky scientist wimp and transforming into a legendary gun-toting-badass. Even as Mal, during the light moments, he tended towards the absurd side of goofy. Ben had different extremities (although in print they may look very similar), and I love Ben as John, and he can't be replaced, even speculatively.
eta to clarify. Pronouns suck.

I've been contemplating rewatching Farscape from the beginning again. I miss that show so much. And I agree with JenP -- I love Fillion as Mal, but I really can't imagine anyone but Ben Browder filling out Crichton's black leather. And he and Claudia Black have absolutely amazing chemistry together.

Morgana,
if you do this, please let me know. I might watch with you.
