oyceterFarscape 1x16 A Human Reaction
Wasn't too surprised by this one -- I think I'd heard already that Farscape had a good deal of these alternate reality things. Also, it didn't seem likely that they'd let Crichton go so soon.
On the other hand, Aeryn in a dress was really funny.
Also, does that mean Aeryn and Crichton really slept together, or was that the Crichton's imagination version of Aeryn, or what?
Kindly aliens facing extinction apparently bore me instead of generating sympathy.
Ok episode, but not too interesting.
Farscape 1x17 Through the Looking Glass
Another sort of meh episode. Chiana is annoying me a little -- I don't know what it is. I think it's the accent or the head tilt.
I still don't actually have a good feel for any of the characters except Crichton and Aeryn; everyone else feels more like a type instead of a person(/alien).
Also, the color-coded Moyas were irritating.
Also also, the last shot with the crew laughing happily together didn't really resonate for me; we've had so many episodes where the crew is at each other's throats that... I dunno.
On the other hand, I am glad that a lot more episodes are taking place on Moya instead of bad alien planets.
Farscape 1x18 A Bug's Life
Hrm, ok, this was more interesting! Aeryn sort of regretting not being a Peacekeeper anymore. Crichton talking with a funny accent. I wonder -- does that translator thing translate the accent as Seba.... that alien language? How does that work anyway?
Probably one of those things where it's best not to ask ;).
And bad, bad Rygel and Chiana!
Also, the shot of Aeryn back in Peacekeeper uniform was extremely cool. Crichton, unfortunately, looked much dorkier.
What totally sold me was the last bit between Crichton and Aeryn, down to Aeryn's matter-of-fact acceptance.

Mon, Sep. 19th, 2005 12:52 pm (UTC)I foresee you thinking very differently about that assessment by the time you see Nerve and The Hidden Memory (the two-parter that made me fall in love with the series, which should be coming up for you very soon). Doing my best to not be spoilery, it is an important episode (maybe THE most important early episode) arcwise, for the entire series, as you'll see.
