I mourn its loss--along with Max Headroom--as sci-fi way before its time.
Lindsey: Why--why did you... Lorne: One last job. You're not part of the solution, Lindsey. You never will be. Lindsey: You kill me? A flunky?! I'm not just...Angel...kills me. You...Angel... Lorne: Good night, folks.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Finally. I'm caught up.
John and Aeryn were perfect. Crazy, fierce, in love. Most of the schmoop passed me by, but when Aeryn said "Shooting makes me feel better." and during the battle montage when she was toting a kid in one arm and killing with the other hand I did weep. It's a cruel beauty, the sort that hits me the hardest.
I think I missed some of the details -- they explained why Grayza's pregnancy was different from Aeryn's? I'm pretty sure the wind in space was never covered, nor the convenient parcelling of the crystallisation.
Rygel wasn't bad -- mostly I was irritated at Stark. God, was I irritated at Stark.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
you're supposed to be irritated at Stark, that's his function! I didn't think that they had explained Grayza's pregnancy, did they?
Aeryn was perfect and Aeryn and John was the best!

I don't see why they want me to not watch the show -- he's not entertainingly irritating, he's offputting, leave-the-room, why-do-they-tolerate-him, oh-he's-deus-ex-machina irritating.
Sours my experience.
The way they resolved the skittles dilemma irritated me too. Because I knew it was cheap when it happened, and apparently the writers agreed too. Made it pretty damned empty.

Thrive to spite them
I watched the second part tonight. I cried. I want to see the series so I can better understand the character development (I've pretty much only seen the first season).

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Another QUARK fan here. Damn - pre-VCR (at least common VCRs) lost show. Feh! I remember there were unaired episodes of that too!!!!
Stark ended up not bothering me, because he became not-annoying by the end. Actually, I thought they did well by the annoying characters - Rygel, Stark and Granny all managed to be useful. Stark did get more annoying time, where Rygel was mostly doing the mpreg thing.

I was most disappointed by the treatment of Jool. WTF was up with her macking on John!?
Also wondering about the scene fragment someone mentioned with Grilshuck and Sikouzo.

Stark struck me as a tool. In both senses of the word, transitioning from idiot to device.

I confess, I've always liked Stark. I must grok his crazy in a way that is different from other people. I like his crazy and his lucid.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
convenient parcelling of the crystallisation.
Granny was able to tell the difference between an Aeryn!Crystal and a Crichton!Crystal by tasting them in her mouth. (This was after Rygel had regurgitated them).
Ewww!!!
