Oh, good. I felt the same way when I saw it a few months ago, but didn't actually care enough to protest.
Wash: Captain, didn't you know kissin' girls makes you sleepy? Mal: Well sometimes I just can't help myself.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Nope, it's really pretty insane. There are some good bits, though. Aeryn saying, "I'm not good at nice", and Aeryn understanding Chiana better than John does, and John beginning to show the PTSD/Harvey influence but nobody else noticing. But much of that is hidden under the bizarre production design and the impenetrable accents.

Cereal: but if this were a Star Trek episode, they'd have solved the problem by the end -- it's really quite nearly a direct ripoff of that TOS episode with the Grups.

So I just watched Farscape's "Taking the Stone" for the first time and I was, er... a little confused. Was it just me, or the accents, or something, or was it really kind of unclear what the heck was going on?
You think you were confused? I had to watch it muted!

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Honestly, that might've been easier. Then I could've just made up my own plot, you know?

Chiana joins the circus?

Sure! Winter quarters, you know. They're practicing. The part where they splat at the bottom is really just a very sophisticated mime performance.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh -- this is the one with the falling?
I think I understood it just fine, unless understanding is meant to imply not hating it with a passion.

In the WashPost TV chat someone said this:
Smallville, Va.: Actually, I'm a fan of the show along with my 10-year-old son. I see it as a training ground for him to be a teen, deal with angst and the idea of being different from others. But how long can this type of show last? One more season? How long can 20-somethings look like high schoolers?
I'm shocked. THIS is a good plan???

It's a remora, dimwit.
I think she means that she's trying to raise her son to be gay, so that when the time comes, she won't be losing a son, she'll be gaining another son.
