amberfocusSo one of the things that has always bugged me about this episode is Chriton's attraction to some random Sebacean girl the crew finds on a derelict space ship. We've just spent four episodes with Aeryn and Chriton oozing out tons of unresolved sexual tension and he's gonna have his head turned by some little blonde science tech? It just never rings true to me. Not that they don't have chemistry because they do, but it still feels off.
Oh, my gosh, Aeryn's whole unit was demoted because she was contaminated by her contact with Chriton and they can only get their old standing back when she's executed? I'd totally forgotten that. Commander Crais is such a bastard, isn't he? I mean, more so than at first glance.
D'Argo raging at the fishy looking fire spitting aliens being almost enough to convince them there's a full complement of Luxan's onboard Moya is awesome. *pets D'Argo* You rage, D'Argo. Poor warrior unable to fire weapons from a ship that has no defensive capabilities. Zhaan, calm as ever in a crisis. Love the leopard print blue skin. Just love it.
I do love Aeryn's anger after she catches Chriton and the tech girl kissing while they're more or less under attack and her admission that when she first met Chriton she found him interesting for "a moment." *laughs* Oh, you are so gone already, Aeryn Sun. Don't even lie to yourself about this for a second.
Oh, my gosh, Aeryn to the rescue swinging down on a massive chain to save the day! RTD, you are such a Farscape fan, aren't you? This is so totally the Rose Tyler/Ninth Doctor scene from Rose. Well, without the pit of Nestene Consciousness goo and the anti-plastic, but still. And big, big, big gun. Like the one Rose carries in season four, sort of. Only bigger. Interesting.
Zhann telling D'Argo he was magnificent despite her interference. Did Zhann and D'Argo ever carry through on the UST? I'm thinking no. It would have been a wildly unbalanced relationship with her powers, though. Still, it's a very delicious UST. Although I think Zhann has that with everyone. Even Rigel.
Aw, blondie doesn't want to go. Sorry, hon, you're not in the opening credits. It can never be. Go on now. Go away. Stop it, Chriton, you can't really have those sorts of feelings for a girl you just met. Not when Aeryn's just around the corner, stupid head. Ooooh, ooooh, forehead kissing! Nine/Rose. Hah! RTD, you really were a fanboy, weren't you? Oh, Chriton, not a pretty kisser here, are you?
And back to Aeryn and Chriton looking out the big window at space floating by. This is a good way to end every episode, isn't it? Although big window with space floating by...End of the World and Nine/Rose again. I'm starting to think RTD just cribbed from Farscape like crazy. Not that he didn't put his own stamp on it, but...still.
Current pop culture references. Well, not so current anymore, but at the time they were. Something else we saw on Who along with the name dropping.
Oh, Aeryn, you break my heart, but at least you understand now that Chriton really gets what you are going through. Maybe now you can let down some of these prickly barriers and let him in a bit more? Yeah? Good girl.
Hmm...I should find me a Farscape icon.
ETA: Oooh, found a good one!
