Child and I are marathoning Farscape, and I regret--a lot--that this show I didn't watch live weekly, because getting hit by it like this is like a steamroller, and I think I need recovery time to process it and pick it up by pieces and put it together. The first season didn't hit me like this, but the end of the second season and especially the third are almost overwhelming.

I'm still completely shocked how good this is, and how much work with all the characters are so hideously complicated. I love Crichton and watching him breakdown and become someone else, someone that the person that left earth would never, ever recognize (would scare him with his development into shoot first, ask later), and Aeryn's basic decency even while she was a Peacekeeper and being--oddly enough--so much less conflicted once she stopped thinking she should still want to rejoin the Peacekeepers and becoming kind of what the word should embody, and I have this stupid crush on D'Argo for being developed as this supposedly simple warrior with this massive well of compassion and loyalty not just to comrades in arms, but friendships as deep and rich as any romantic relationship. And Chiara is just amazing, who only seems light and mindless and honestly, she should be leading the revolution against her people, because she'd be so good at it.

Weirdly, the only one I never connected to--though I liked her like a lot--was Zhaan and I honestly have no idea why. I mean, it hit me hard wen she died, but I mean, not like D'Argo might. And Rigel is hilarious.

Weirdly, Stark just--I'm fascinated by him but he weirds me out because he's crazy, crazy, crazy.

Crais and Scorpius are so--I mean, I never thought I'd get so--I think I ship Crais/Talyn, which really, this is canon, right?

Checking in half-way through season three and I know it will start going really fast soon, so.

That's why he goes bad, you know -- all the good people hit him on the head or try to shoot him and constantly mistrust him, while there's this vast cohort of minions saying, We wouldn't hurt you, Lex, and we'll give you power and greatness and oh so much sex...
Wow. That was scary. Lex is like Jesus in the desert.

Obi-Wan has a sort of desperate, pathetic patience in this movie. You can just see it in his eyes: "My padawan is a psychopath, and no one will believe me; I'm barely keeping him under control and expect to wake up any night now to find him standing over my bed with a knife!"

It's weird, after you get used to the affection you get from a rabbit, it's like any other BDSM relationship. Only without the sex and hot chicks in leather corsets wielding floggers. You'll grow to like it.

Rule 3. Chemistry is kind of like bondage. Some people like it, some people like reading about or watching other people doing it, and a large number of people's reaction to actually doing the serious stuff is to recoil in horror.
