shadowkatFirst an apology - I've been hibernating. Between work, watching Farscape and other personal issues, no time for online.
Have you ever fallen in love with a work of art? Didn't expect it. Came as a complete and utter surprise. Was certain you'd hate it. And yet...it fits everything you were looking for in a tv show or artwork or book at this moment in time.
It satisfied the itch? So much, that part of you just wanted to escape into it...let it cover you with soothing waves?
(Not completely - working and training remember? But half way there.)
Farscape...I've fallen in love with this show, which feels like a telenovel for TV. Each time I tune in I expect to fall out of love and nope, just get more enraptured by it.
Here's a line from a recent episode:
-"This is a very ass-backward world. They don't have monarchies or political parties, they have ruling law firms."
Only one little problem with this - dang sci-fi network is only showing the episodes once in a marathon, between 8am-4pm. And since I work now (hallueh!! so not complaining about that just wish I could afford a Tivo or something, but it seems a tad unnecessary just for one show that will be gone in two weeks) I have to tape to see them. So as the result of taping problems, I've missed four episodes: PK Tek Girl, Exodus in Genesis, Throne for A Loss, and JEremiah Crichton. I've also, due to the fact that my tapes are only 8 hours and the VCR acts up, managed to lose the first five to ten minutes of episodes aired on Oct 4-8. In attempting to fix the problem, I lost the last five to ten minutes of Meltdown - which was last episode that aired on
Oct 11. Highly annoyed. It's like having bits and pieces of the chapters of a book you've fallen in love with, that is currently out of print, but has come back for one last hurrah,
chopped off before you can actually experience them. Ugh. Meanwhile, books you could care less about are crowding the shelves in its place. I may join netflix just so I can watch the episodes I missed. (That is as soon as I get a DVD player...LOL! Yes, I am amongst the minority of folks out there who still do not own a DVD player or a cell phone.)

Date: 2004-10-13 12:04 am (UTC)(1) Well, firstly, I like the main plot.
(2) It's the first time we get to see Rygel truly acting like a monarch and come to realize what a great diplomatic mind he has. Very important Rygel development episode. Also the spirit painting Zhaan does of him.
(3) The first introduction of the concept Sebacean Heat Delirium, and Aeryn forcing John to promise her that he would kill her if she reached the Living Death.
(4) How the trouble is caused by John attacking a harmless bug based on his own prejudices, and how the problems continue to emerge between Moya's crew and the Drak based on misunderstandings between them.
(5) Crichton's attempt to trick the Peacekeepers with the multiple Crichtons. Also the first time we see him (almost) fearlessly stand up to an enemy who has a weapon literally pointed at his throat. And in retrospect, the Crichton clones foreshadow the third season.
