It's definitely Tammy that's making Jool at all interesting. She was pretty clearly brought on as a child to Zhaan's mother figure, but without the mother figure it just leads to helplessness without growth. Plus they just seem to write her as full on helpless, which at times can be hilarious, and at other times be…

This is what I was waiting to get to in regard to Meltdown. The reason the music worked well here was because it served to enhance the editing and because John was telling a story to Pilot. What's great about this episode is that they shot not knowing that they were going to edit it in this way. It just kind of came…

I like your interpretations of the colors and I think I'll stick with that.

Sorry, I'll respond to this and the other comment tomorrow. Got distracted with work, mafia, and also the Pretty Little Liars finale which killed their best character and I just don't know what to think. I get too involved in shows sometimes..

As awkward as the Scorpius insert was during the last Moya episode, it was necessary as a lead in to this. And what an episode this was. Farscape has never shied away from frelling with consciousness, and the Neural Clone of John not realizing it's just that is an interesting concept. It also presents a nice barrier…

Annnnnnd it's working again. Today is so much fun.

My weekend was good. Got my CPAP machine and have been sleeping…interestingly. Definitely more energy, but it'll take time to fully recover and get used to.

We're having internet problems at work so take your time. I may not get to things until tomorrow.

Yes, please consider joining us! You'll get benefits, most of which are discussing Season 4 before next summer. The only thing I'd say is I'm trying to keep this as spoiler free as possible. The friends I'm watching it with are more just watching it without discussing things too much, so I'm enjoying the critical…

I really like that thought. I'm also doing a rewatch with friends who have never seen the show before. We're only 3 episodes into Season 3, but they can't figure out why the crew keeps trusting Stark. I wonder if the crew sees him in a similar way to Crichton, who they never fully understand, but has often gotten them…

If there's one thing about this show you can almost always expect to fall flat, it's the slow motion. It worked when introducing Chiana and that's about the one time it's stuck out to me as definitively "good". I'm sure there are other moments, but there's something about the way it becomes more of a slideshow than…

It deserved it, though I think a majority of Season 3 would work better as individual reviews. Still, anything by Alisdair on the subject is a treat.

It randomly came up during that hilarious Teti piece on the Mario Kart characters. I was wondering when you'd find us!

Haha, thanks. I just want to make sure the timing works out well enough, and it's easier to watch a 2-parter when work isn't an issue. Plus, there should be more than enough to talk about with Incubator.

Just getting this thought out now:

I don't remember if this is the last episode before I took a break or the first one I saw when I started watching again. Either way, it didn't impact me the way it did this time. I unequivocally loved this episode.

Sounds good. I'll have mine in a couple hours so no rush.

Sure, let's do it. And I definitely wish Crais had shown up more, but I also know there were a lot of backers and to make the continuity more than slightly above episodic wasn't an option.

Haha, I'm sure it's been a while since you've seen the episode. Plus there are more memorable things than that reveal. But it is interesting how few episodes the Scarrans have been in. They're more like Crais during Season 1 where he was always a threat looming over the crews heads, but rarely making an appearance.

They mentioned the Scarrans briefly in Season 1, without ever showing them. Then in Season 2, they first showed up in the Look at the Princess trilogy. They actually did capture Crichton almost immediately after in The Way We Weren't, and it was to discover why Scorpius was so interested in Crichton. However, the…
