Do you know how thoroughly depressed I am right now? It's 11:30-ish, I just finished watching the second showing, and I'm totally traumatized. According to my mom and Nick, I'm actually worse off than I was when Doyle died. Yeah, that should tell you something.
John's in the PK uniform again. Still not complaining, I'm just missing the tight gray tee.
Loved D'Argo threatening Rygel. I really wish I'd been able to hear everything he was saying instead of just getting Chiana's translation.
You know I have to do this: < smack! > to Rygel! I am totally losing all respect for Rygel right here, and I could not believe he did that, even though I'd gotten the spoiler beforehand.
"Is it possible he's just stalling?" LOVED everyone's reactions to that! Dead silence, long pause, no one even dignifying that with an answer.
"I'm telling you this much for free, I will not be taken alive." Check it out, he's paraphrasing D'Argo! (I think he's paraphrasing- you want to know how traumatized I am? I think the line is from ABL, and I can't tell you what it is.)
Did Scorpius say "underpants"? I could have sworn I heard him say that, which just sent me into giggles.
< deep breath > I'm officially coming out as a D'Argo/Chiana shipper. I've actually been one for a while, just because of a feeling I was getting about them, and after this, I'm thinking yeah. I mean, the scene with the two of them, he's trying to protect her! Aw...
I have to admit, I was a lil bit disturbed at John and Zhaan both laughing light-heartedly when the bomb went off. Yeep.
Oh, the entire scene with the recorder I was convinced I was gonna cry! First you've got John and Aeryn talking back to the fake Earth and John's dad, and then WE GOT AERYN BACKSTORY!!!!! And it was SO not what I expected. I mean, I've always heard Aeryn was a test tube baby or raised by droids or something, and I was totally shocked to know that she had a family. And then you KNOW there should have been a kiss in that scene!!!! I think they're purposely not writing it into the script and just teasing us. They're messing with our heads!!!!!
When Rygel's in the tub, and Crais is like, we fed you, blah blah... I just kept thinking Rygel was gonna be cooked. You know, like in the cartoons where Bugs Bunny thinks he's taking a bath and he doesn't know why the water's so warm till someone starts cutting carrots... (To which Nick starts chanting, "We're gonna have roast Rygel..." Yes, we both watched entirely too much TV as children.) And hey, they said in a chat a while back that Rygel got wet in ep 22...
Also spoiled on Crais being on Moya. Knew it was coming. Didn't expect Rygel to bring him, though. And I LOVED seeing Crais getting his ass kicked! He needed it! And I was shocked to hear how he knows D'Argo's innocent. Which made me really angry at Crais, but he's the bad guy so I'm SUPPOSED to be angry.
Still wanna know where Stark is. All I want is an explanation that doesn't seem like a huge plot hole.
Side note: One of the commercials was for Regal by Buick. My brother, of course, nearly freaked because he thought it said "Rygel" by Buick.
When Aeryn left John alone with Crais, I just kept thinking it was probably not a good move- I actually expected John to pull the trigger on Craisy. I mean it, John scared the hell out of me here! And yet the entire time I'm watching, BBS (aka Bad Boy Syndrome) is taking over, and I just can't help thinking, he looks GOOD.
They love the word "mivonks" on this show.
They also love referring to Zhaan's ass. Is this a private cast/crew joke I'm not aware of? Let's see, there's "you bet your ass", "You bet your blue ass," "blue-assed bitch" (My personal fave), and now thanks to Rygel, "you bet your shiny blue ass." I think I'm missing something here...
John's crying! Look! He's crying! Come here, babe, I'll give you a hug. {{{{{{{{{{John}}}}}}}}}}} Feel better? Good.
One of my favorite little parts was where they're saying how someone has to sacrifice themself to save the others, and then they cut to Rygel kind of shrinking away.
I love how Aeryn's pissed she can't go on the suicide mission.
Nick wants to know if Zhaan's crime is really murder, or is it herbicide?
Okay, the J/C kiss. I was sobbing through it. And not because I thought it was unshippery towards John and Aeryn. Not because Ben made me cry. Uh uh. It was ALL Gigi! I was so impressed with her, she totally had me in tears, and so I didn't even mind the kiss just because I was too busy trying to salvage what was left of my eye makeup. And then later on with her bringing the others to the little (little?) feast... That's it. Chiana is now officially on my Heroes List!!!
"Never before the big game." Is this a reference to anything pop culturey? (I know what it means, I just want to know if it's from anything.)
Check it out, Aeryn's still defending the baby, even with Crais aboard. Good girl! And wow, she got attached to the kid... Can I ask what Crais was doing there in the first place? I'm sorry, but I would NOT trust him there, under any circumstances!
"Sparky, Spanky, Fluffy, Buckwheat the 16th..." You missed "Guido" and "Napoleon the 14th". Although that has to be one of my favorite quotes from this show ever. =)
Hey, John, you gonna kiss Rygel now? Apparently so!
And the second part where I started crying was the scene with the tape recorder scene. Guys, look, it's Little Blue! Which just set me off right there, and then as he's talking, and... I just did not take it well. As I'm sure most of you didn't. Let me guess- this is where you all started crying.
I so need a soundtrack for this show.
(Pitch Black commercial- hm, I wonder what that commercial is doing during Farscape?)
"I wasn't going to say goodbye." "Neither was I." I can deal with that non-goodbye. I like that non-goodbye. Aw... < sob >
"I have to pee." Okay, I actually needed that comic relief right there! Thank you!
Talyn. Okay, I was at the David Kemper chat last night where he gave it away, and so I knew it beforehand. But I LOVE that name! Absolutely LOVE it! Suddenly I'm thinking I need to get a kid or a dog or something just so I can name it Talyn. (Sh, I'm kidding! Don't yell at me!) And she named him after her father... I'm gonna cry. Again.
"I love hanging with you, man." But you're still not getting his Bud Lite.
I didn't make it through the end scene. I sat there and sobbed uncontrollably. And I think I would have made it out at least semi-coherent if it wasn't for the fact that Crais basically kidnapped Talyn!!! When they said that, I sat there in total shock, and I just went cold- I mean it. And I was freaking out through the commercial break, and then when they cut to Aeryn in her Prowler, I LOST it. (I can see how Aeryn got attached to the kid, apparently I did too.)
Then you've got Chia, who sounds like she's about to cry.
And Zhaan, who is crying while she's pleading with Crais not to take Talyn.
And then Rygel, who actually refuses to leave D'Argo and John and Aeryn. I've regained my respect for the Muppet.
And then John telling Moya to go, and "thanks for everything."
And Rygel's goodbye.
And them showing John, Aeryn and D'Argo as Moya starbursts away.
And the puzzle ring as D'Argo lets go.
I'm actually sitting here crying right now. I'm going to bed. Wake me when it's March 17.
