Farscape II

[jasoom]

Yeah Rantarn, I picked that up right away when Aeryn said that.

About last weeks episode, I thought Rigel was a goner for sure, especially when his outfit was sutured into his stomach.

About Aeryn's Mom, what a tough cookie!

Well, well. Scorpius inside his own head, communicating with the neural chip in the form of John Chrichton, showing him his past. An almost... almost... sympathetic Scorpius.

I wonder... Was he grieving for his mother's suffering, or humiliated at the truth of his origin?

[jasoom]

fanuilhgkar, heh heh heh, how true! I never....never....never....never...never.... thought I would come close to any feelings resembling sympathy for Scorpy, but ya know what, I came close! (Think the writers were/are trying for this)

I got the impression he (Scorpy) was feeling grief for his Mom's suffering, but with him, who can be certain? I know I got riled up watching her being tortured. Actually, I got riled seeing the young Scorpy tortured.

Could really sympathize with Pilots needs in this episode.

I could be wrong, but I don't think I heard Jewel scream once this time around??

The crew (or what's left thereof) is breaking out with cabin fever.

[AsIs]

No Zhaan, no Aeryn, hell no Rygel to kick around... Yup, cabin fever it is.

Scorpy was sympathetic this episode, but ulterior motives lurk right below the surface.

I don't buy that he doesn't want power. Revenge and power arn't that far away from each other.

I certainly didn't feel any sumpathy for Scorpy, but I did very much enjoy finding out more where he is coming from, what motivates him. He'll never not be a villain. That's him through and through. But, he has never been just a 2-D bad guy either and this ep made him even more 3-D.

One thing I am not sure about though is how much of what he does is for himself and how much for the Sebaciens. (I hope I spelled that right.) I got the impression that it was quite a bit of the latter. That by Peace Keeper standards, Scorpy was really a hero. Again, that's by PK standards, so he's still a villain in my book and certainly no one better exemplifies "The end justifies the means" than he does.

What did people think of the special Saturday ep? Mrs. Ran and I were busting a gut at the huge amount of innuendo between Crighton and Aeryn. Those two have chemistry! "Bad mist". "Naughty mist." Too funny.

Rantarn, I to enjoyed the innuendo filling the air between Crighton and Aeryn (& throughout Talyn). I liked the entire Saturday special. I wasn't sure if the 'Meltdown' title was referring to Talyn's mad plunge towards the sun or the enhanced 'energies' bestowed upon Crighton and Aeryn's natural gusto. Seems Mu-Quillus's pulsing siren lure enhances certain traits. I just new that Rigel-(AKA-Sparky-Porky) was sure to have an increased appetite. He's so funny.

Liked the new character Sierjna. She brought out an interesting quality in Stark that I hadn't as yet noticed other than with Zhaan, which was one of commitment. (Not sure if that's the word I'm looking for exactly but will have to do)

Asis, definitely agree, Scorpy wants power as no. # 1 priority imho. All other concerns are secondary.

One teensy-weensy little question. Did I miss something? I thought Creighton fell into/bumped into/travelled through the worm hole by accident (ie, doesn't actually know how to purposely create one). I'm assuming the story line continues because if Scorpie finds out he doesn't actually have this knowledge, John is toast. One the other hand, it appears in the past couple eps, he does have the equations, knowledge. Help, please!

[Rantarn]

Here's what I'm wondering... I don't know if this is what will happen, but I wonder if it will turn out that humans are immune to the tissue-liquifying effects of wormholes and that Scorpy will come after John again for that reason. Farscape 1 didn't have any special shielding of course and the chances against getting a wormhole without which would not cause the ill effects are astronomical. Even with the best shielding both Sebaciens and whatever race that other woman was still got frelled by the wormhole. What if, just through some quirk of physiology, humans have some sort of innate wormhole resistance?
