Starbuck: "Every flying machine has four basic flying controls: power, pitch, yaw, and roll. Where are yours?"
Yeah, Starbuck said a lot of things I didn't buy this ep. (See above, re: biological organisms and oxygen.)
so she was probably grabbing and trying the various "wires" that had been attached to it, for a start.
Even if the brain weren't at the complete opposite end of the ship, she still wasn't doing anything that even came close to looking like rewiring anything. She was squeezing and pulling on things. If I lose my sense of propioception, and you cut out my brain? There ain't a damn thing you can squeeze to make me stand upright again.
Perhaps the raider was designed to be salvagable for the humanoid Cylons.
This may be the one of the more ridiculous things I have ever typed. And I was a member of the Lorne worships Illyria tinfoil hat sect.
Dude, Farscape is many things, but "logical" wouldn't be the first word to come to me in describing the show.
I was not being entirely serious.
I mumbled past the not-sense-making Starbuck & Cylon ship bits for the emotional pay-off, since the the Lee/Kara, Lee/Adama and Adam/Starbuck bits around and after the rescue were so gorgeously handled. (I choked up at "If it were you, we'd never leave." Yeah, I'm a huge sap.)
Oh, me too. Like I said, I liked the ep overall. I just wish they'd thought through the mechanics of the ship a little better. Or a lot better, even.
(But while I'm still ranting, how the hell could she have known that was its brain? Maybe it was the heart, or the liver, or an ovary. Or something with no parallel to mammalian physiology? Gah.)
[eta: Ah, Farscape. Now there was a show that knew how to do living ships.]
"If it were you, we'd never leave."
Ha! I teared up reading it just there.
My issue with this ep and the ep just previous is that I wanted the Adama/Kara tension to play out longer. I don't know. Maybe it's not as resolved as it seems, but, you know, putting her in mortal danger so he'd have to take steps to save her right after he had to make her leave his room so he wouldn't snap her neck in a fit of rage... it just happened too quickly for me.
Did no one notice that she patched a hole in the hull of the ship with a piece of fabric, and that it was then spaceworthy?
Yeah, I was only 1/2-2/3 watching, and noticed that one.
I want a jacket that can hold it's own against the vaccuum of space.
I guess I assumed it was some kind of piece of the ship and it healed the hole over or something.
t waves hands so frantically that she lifts off from her seat
