Buffistas

Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Oooooh, marvelous article on Teevee.org about Farscape today.

10. It's just plain fun. Think of Farscape as The Princess Bride of TV science fiction. You've got handsome heroes, beautiful heroines, fights, chases, narrow escapes, valiant companions, evil villains, and true love. All you need to bring is an open mind and a big bowl of popcorn.

Wheeee! t bounces enthusiastically

I'm allowing myself to get excited. This could be bad.

Art Crawl!!!

Suela, they're playing part 1 twice on Sunday and then once again before they play part 2 on Monday, right?

(Just in case I don't get home in time on Sunday!)

I think so, yes. Plus it looks like there's some late-night airings too. I'd check the SciFi.com website.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Sumi, from SciFi.com's schedule, they're airing it back-to-back-to-back Sunday night -- 9 p.m., 11 p.m., and 1 a.m.

I love this, from the TeeVee.org article:

4. It's Buffy gone sci-fi. You don't have to be a fundamentalist Whedonite to enjoy Farscape, but Buffy and Angel fans will find a lot to enjoy here. A hero who's torn between ordinary life and an epic destiny. Smart, kickass women and fascinating antiheroes. Witty dialogue loaded with pop culture references. Characters who grow and change over time. Season-long story arcs with neck-snapping surprise twists. Farscape is very different from the late, lamented Firefly, but it's nonetheless a worthy complement to the Joss Whedon canon.

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

Heck, she did the same.

She beat them up, but she didn't throw them around.

I've always asserted that people who liked Buffy would like Farscape. Foolish are those who didn't believe me. *g*

I'm going to start all Farscape potentials somewhere in mid-season 1 (maybe The Flax or Durka Returns) because I almost lost interest in the show after watching the first 4 or 5 episodes. The grabbiness of the show didn't hit me until much later.

Also, I just finished The Way We Weren't and, just, wow. And I suspect that guy was who Aeryn dreamt about back in Rhapsody in Blue.

Yeah, that's a marvelous episode. I love it so much, and I love it that the show will have these entirely sympathetic characters make appalling decisions.

And the Pilot reveal at the end was almost a HSQ. I finally started to view Pilot as an interesting character. I hope Rygel reaches that level soon.
