Don't give up so easily! A large part of my enjoyment of this episode stemmed from it briefly looking like Dantana was just a decoy and the show fully intended to address the mistakes made by the principal cast. Then the last scene happened, and the show makes it clear the only fault that will ever be explored here is

Really liked the episode right up until that last scene. That the show acknowledges that they all fucked up is nice, and it' was also a nice surprise to have the convenient source that, of course, meant Will knew about Genoa all along, turn out to be somebody out to fuck with ACN.

That Harvey actually shoots Aeryn down made me love Farscape all the more, at that point—no cliche "love conquers all" bullshit where Crichton's love for Aeryn wins out and lets him prevent Harvey from shooting. Crichton couldn't defeat the chip when he wanted to kill Scorpius, and he can't defeat it to save Aeryn's

So basically they're not killing off the only character to consistently get shit done, just punting him off to a far-flung corner of the world where he can't ruin their plot with his taking action and not competing for Sookie's glowing fairy vagina?

I remember really liking the first season and being lukewarm on the episodes created later. It's been forever, though. I should rewatch.

What's funny about this is that there actually exists a Canadian show called The Newsroom. It was actually pretty watchable and entertaining.

I think he told the girlfriend he was aiming for the light tree (which is what we see him hit) when he was yelling at her for suggesting he might want to be likable.

The show loses at least two letter grades for the Eric scene alone—nobody for three seconds believes he's dead, and if it turns out the actor refuses to come back next year and he is killed off there, it's an insultingly bad death anyway.

Will's storyline in this episode relied entirely on believing that the great newsman is too noble, too perfect, to demean himself by cavorting on a morning show to curry favor with serfs. In fact, doing so doesn't just damage him, it damages his entire team. Because god knows straying from his Noble Mission for five

I think these three episodes are when I originally stepped back and realized just how cruel this series was to Crichton. His character spends most of season two going through this gradual, extended emotional and mental beat-down, and his inability to just kill Scorpius is the stuff of nightmares. It's not even like

I had the exact same experience watching the first time on ADV DVDs—Farscape being Farscape it took me five minutes or so to decide it wasn't an intentionally confusing in media res beginning, and that the episodes were out of order.

Oz's Dean Winters, who taught a young me that guys can totally get breast cancer too.

I'm going to continue to hope it's the shocking return of Mark Brendanawicz. Even if it makes no sense!

It's Julie from Burning Love!

At first I thought it was sweet but remained dry-eyed. Then I thought about how his family must have felt upon seeing the dedication. Onions, onions everywhere.

Talking Bad's scheduling kind of doomed it, didn't it? Doesn't Talking Dead air right after Walking Dead? So you just kind of leave the TV on and there are people talking about the show you were just watching and why bother to change the channel?

I feel like I missed the significance of the final scene. Is Eric Superman now? Did his planet need him?

Between this Star Trek conversation and the earlier video game zombie debate, it seems pretty clear Jesse's friends are gigantic nerds. I'm holding out for. A D&D session somewhere in the next seven episodes.

I always wonder how much work Ben Browder put into the various Crichton acts (blank) personas. How much time did he spend nailing the exact perfect terrible Peacekeeper accent? How did he decide how much surfer Crichton would equate with being cleansed? I do like that in-universe Crichton is basically a gigantic ham

I liked this episode for having Future Londo indicate that Sheridan does something bad in the future. With Sinclair becoming Minbari Jesus, and the general attitude the series has towards our heroes, it was nice to have somebody basically tell us that Sheridan & pals were going to do something or fail to do something
