Very true.

The matte effect I'm noticing is at the screen/image level and reminds me of the matte finish that you can order for photographic prints. I don't know if was an intentional choice of the film crew or just a side effect of shooting under what look like low light conditions but I find it to be really pretty.

Yeah totally welcome. Reading new viewers reactions is the closest thing to watching for the first time.

Rewatching this show is a ridiculous pleasure.

There's a nicely growing nugget of extreme paranoia in there too.

So you're both saying that these people haven't been checking this column twice a day for 8 months? Fools.

One of my favorite things about the show.

In defense of Chiana, D'Argo didn't really give her much input to the wonderful life he was preparing for them.

"But it was almost always his own fault."

Suns and Lovers does pale in comparison to the opener and to the last few episodes of Season 2.

Speaking of which, seems like someone's missing.

Pretty great.

Though viewers who aren't into J/A may rightly disagree, the Crichton/Aeryn reunion scene in the operating room is one of my most favorite romantic TV moments.

STILL SPOILERY

I know. I finally have something to do with the internet again that doesn't involve feeding my growing and increasingly worrying obsession with Pippa and baby George. So cute!

This episode always features an inordinate amount of me yelling at the TV. Kind of awkward the first time I had Mrs. Bubbles watch it with me.

How awesome would a Grunchlk/Furlow spin-off be where they open some kind of space garage/medical clinic/tanning salon one-stop shop kind of place? It would be like Henson's version of Clerks. This stuff writes itself.

You forget that Rygel's actually an angle who leads what's left of the human/robot survivors back to Jurassic Park where they intermingle with the locals and eventually produce Manhattan. And then the whole shot zooms back into some guy holding a snow globe.

Gotta feel for Lt. Kobrin too. This show so loves to laugh at all of its characters. Build the guy up as the highest rated active PK pilot just so you can chuckle extra good when he gets outflown by an angsty nearly uncontrollable teenager of a living ship.

I love that you can summarize the entire show's arc w/ something along the lines of:
