Farscape II

[Lyta Alexander]

Well the latest Farscape episode, "Eat Me", was one you want to watch while you're not eating... The jury is still out on this one as I'm still digesting it(excuse the pun).

I did notice on the opening credits that Ms. Hey is not mentioned...I wonder if that means she is gone for good.

She isn't shown with the group on the website either.

I'll talk more on the ep later as I am still digesting it as well

I just checked Virginia Hey's website--no real mention of anything there. I didn't see any update date there, either. She does list her appearance schedule--this weekend (as in, today) in Denver, June 9-10 in Australia, June 22 in Tulsa (do we know anybody who might be going?), August 3-5 in New Orleans (anybody going?), and September 1-3 in Burbank.

Hey Syc!

Can you post the url for her website? I'd love to check it out.

I am also figuring this one out. It was a strange one. My only thought at this point is...POOR PILOT (the other one).

Kind of a claustrophobic piece, not unlike the dark atmosphere quality of Alien. 'Eat Me' kept me interested, especially with the tense 'watch your back' pace.

Really felt for Pilot #2, what with the horror of having his appendages constantly being eaten off after they re-grow. When Pilot #2 says "Kill me" to John, it reminded me of when the cocooned colonist in Aliens pleaded with the marines to kill her. Anyways, what a circumstance!

This 'twining' that was going on was a refreshing variation of the cloning theme. I wonder how many peace keepers there were originally before being 'twinned' into mental obscurity? One of these days they're gonna run out of ways to kill the crew & be able to bring em back readily. (There's been a lot of cheating death this season.) Too bad they didn't use the twining plot device to bring back Zhaan. (I've pretty much given up hope that Zhaan will return, at least in any enduring way.)

OK. I know I may have mentioned this in this forum before, but I am watching the nasty Nebari episode in the Farscape chain reaction right now and there is one line I absolutely love. On the surface, this is intense, not funny, but when Rigel retorts to Crighton, "I am nobody's puppet," I lose it. Just ROFLMAO.

And at least we now know there will be more new episodes starting on June 15th.

Did anyone see the movie 'Pitch Black'? In any case, I only recently saw the movie (Which I thought was rather well done), & you can imagine my surprise to see Aeryn Sun (never remember her RL name), in a role that mirrors her Farscape character traits in many ways. I hated seeing one of those strange burrowing/flying demons grab her away.

[AsIs]

ROFL Polly. You know that didn't even occur to me?

Jasoom: Coolness bud.

[Rantarn]

Actually, I found it ironic that both of the puppets (Rigel and Pilot) couldn't be puppets of the evil Nebari.

BTW, I forget the name of the episode but it was the one with the Budong, written by Ben Browder, Aeryn did mention that it was "pitch black" in there.
