shadowkatVentured out for a brief walk in the heat around a portion of Rufus King Park - which all things considered is a relatively lovely big park. (You have to keep in mind that anything with a soccer field, over 20 huge trees, and 20 feet of grass is a big park to me. Yes, I've become a bonified urban dweller, much to the chagrin of co-workers, friends and family alike. Don't own a car, and quite happy about that. Thank you.)
Scanned flist - happy the ATPO people escaped the forest fire in Flagstaff, Arizona - with their possessions intact. (Note - from what I've read their lives were never at issue, thankfully, but the possessions most definitely were. And the potential of losing id, etc while on a trip in this society, when you need to take a plane to get home, can be a harrowing experience.)
Still engrossed by Farscape DVDs - but don't have time to write the metas I want to on them. Working late two nights this week, and the weekend is full. Plus battling the mice and roachs in my apartment still - with sound repellars, traps, and (sigh) raid (for the roaches not the mice - I actually don't hate mice, roaches are another issue.)
Will state that Vitas Mortis and Taking the Stone - were not what I remembered - in part, because we got additional scenes crucial to character development. Such as Crichton asking Aeryn at the end of Stone, if he seemed crazy to her or off. And her response, no more than usual. The second season shows slowly and adeptly Crichton going insane and for good reason - he was mentally tortured. Farscape shows the ill effects of torture and how torture doesn't give us what we want. It is amongst the few tv series that do not promote torture, but rather show it for how horrible it truly is. Also Vitas Mortis and Taking the Stone - which focus on D'Argo and Chiana - depict the fear of growing old and dying from two different perspectives. Along with the idea of loss. The first is about someone attempting to stay young by inadvertently sucking the life energy from a living spaceship. It's just a space-ship she says. She didn't mean to do it, and struggles with it. D'Argo whose fallen for her, struggles with letting her go, killing her - to spare the living spaceship. The other story focuses on Chiana's fear of death and the crushing loss of her twin brother. In both, there isn't really a clear moral or happy ending...so much as the characters coming to an emotional resolution and being changed by what they've learned. Each character in Farscape remembers. They get hurt, and the bruises change them.
