I really loved the exchange with Rygel near the end, where she says, "D'Argo's dead. Do you think I care about you?" and Rygel says, quietly, "Yes." That's a world of change from the characters we first met, and I believe in it utterly.
Oh, man. I LOVED that moment. It's great when the writers give Rygel depth. I did feel Chiana's characterization felt a bit choppy--will be looking forward to the extended edition footage on DVD.
If ever they could get a chance to do another miniseries or a movie, they'd better
not bring D'Argo back, because I will be PISSED.
Signed, still have issues with "Children of God".
Vonnie, I hope they don't
bring him back,
but I do hope that
the Scarrans act like they have him alive, or at least use his body as some sort of angst-inducing bargaining chip.
Bwah, Vonnie, yes.
I missed a lot: there was a lot going on.
My major complaint is, like other people's, the Sikozu issue. But... ::handwave:: I'm pretty happy overall, since my predictions and expectations were constrained by the knowledge that JHC wants a franchise out of this. Emotionally and narrratively powerful as it might have been for
John to die, it was never going to happen. Browder and Black are the franchise, to many people.
One of the things I loved best about this was that Crichton and Aeryn were right again. Somehow the writers managed to remember what those two are like when they spark off each other: that total trust, colored with sarcasm and sexual chemistry. It felt like Season 2 again, but without John going insane. Loved it so much.
How much did I love Aeryn
carrying the baby in a sling while shooting a bigass gun with the other hand?
THIIIIIISSSS MUUUUCCCCHHHHH.
It does occur to me that they could re-cast Anthony Simcoe most easily of the main cast--give him different prosthetics, or none, and his normal speaking voice is very different from his D'Argo voice.
'Suela, me too. Aeryn's characterization was just so right. And I am impressed with Peacekeeper physiology --
Aeryn gave birth, wrapped up the baby, tossed it in a sling, and immediately joined the power walk/shoot-em-up.
True, Micole, but I do hope they don't.
As it is, they
recast Jothee, and it was really obvious, even behind the prosthetics.
And yes, I know what IMDB says. It's wrong, according to Froon and Dani Moure, the guy who runs Farscapeworld.
IMDB is not infrequently wrong, actually, which is not surprising given where much of its information comes from.
I think that she ment have Anthony play another character, not have another actor playing D'Argo..
As it is, they
I'm FFwding to the end of my tape 2 in the hopes that they caught the credits, but after you made that comment in you LJ after Pt 1, I was looking closely at
Jothee
and think you guys are wrong. I think that really is
Matthew Newton
under there. Unfortunately, checking the tapoe for Pt 1, I didn't record the end credits.
Yeah, what Mickie said. (Spoiler rules here?) If they want to resurrect D'Argo, I'm assuming they can get Simcoe back. But I don't want them to resurrect D'Argo.
