Precisely. Which is why I've decided to treat it all as noise, since the probabilities of them trying to trick us and double-bluffing are about equal. No plot-related information can come from this. They have hired a lot of very short women.
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

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

I have a plan.
Unless they know we know ...
That way lies madness. I think they are using the cliche.
Those fiends.

Ken Buddha, Twice Shy is to Farscape what all the episodes after big mytharc episodes in X-Files were.
As in, MOTW, and everyone seems to have forgotten last week's newfound purpose. That said, there's a couple of fun exchanges, Chiana is outed as completely omnisexual, and the tag at the end made a big splash. Although it drives me bugfuck since it makes no sense at all. But I'm too demanding, they tell me.
Plus, spiders.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I've been building up my my immunity to Iocaine powder commercial trickery.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Ummmm... Ok, Due South people?
I watched the show maybetwice. Maybe. But I've, well, gotten hooked on the fic. Which is a good. But, I really want a tune to go with the "Northwest Passage" song, but I can't put up with Stan Rogers enough to learn it (based on the Amazon clip). Are there any other recordings that anyone might recommend?
And any help with an appropriate hex to put on Netflix for not having the DVDs would also be great.

That would be the scene between Aeryn and John concerning the Comms? Yeah, it sounded like an attempt to appease the fans, but it also read like an asspull.

Sorry, I can't help you with the tune, DebetEsse. You do know that ds_flashfiction on LiveJournal has hosted 684 short stories over the past nine months?
Possibly some really OCD-ish fan has made an MP3 clip of the song from the episode....

Yup. Complete and utter asspull, and it made a mockery of the rather complex and interesting characterization of John they'd set up in the first half of the season. Somebody forgot to trust the fans...

I'm memfaulting - had Scorpy come in with Aeryn prior to John using Granny's forget-me-powder? That's the sequence I remember, so it's not completely outside the realm of possibility that he was doing that because of Scorpy, not Aeryn. However, if they knew they were going there, they should have dropped a few hints along the way. If not, they should have given it a LOT more thought.
Of course, not having actually seen the episode, I guess I shouldn't comment, but it still sounds like jury-rigging to me. There's a fine line between HSQ and WTF.
