I'm also Facebook-less, but very interested to see people's rankings. Can we make this sharing thread?

I agree with you on both counts, @Abigail . I enjoyed "Incubator," sure, but it seemed a little more facile than what Farscape has been capable of in the past. Like, nothing there that I couldn't have predicted/invented myself. I wonder if this would have seemed less disappointingly straightforward if the info had

I see it as another way the universe is frelling with the Moyans - Aeryn expects the target and herself are important enough to be worth peacekeeper strategizing. Instead, it just so happens her mother is on the job. It's another shitty coincidence and also shows now little relative importance they all have to all PKs

To Stargate's credit (and no, it's nowhere near as good as Farscape but a girl's gotta do something during the break in reviews), even though it's fairly episodic, they do an impressive job keeping track of their own internal continuity. And there is A LOT of it, since it ran more or less forever.

Yeah, that's what I assumed happened with the audio recording (and thanks for the clarification!).

I've only watch up to this point, but it seems to me that Aeryn definitely has the most fleshed-out independent motivations relative to the other characters. That, and I freaking adore her, so she's definitely responsible for a lot of my interest in the show!

That line tied with "I'm a guy, I"ll probably be back in 15 minutes" in Losing Time for loudest laugh of any episodes this week for me.

I didn't know Ben Browder wrote Green Eyed Monster, but I thought it was absolutely fantastic - my favorite episode so far this season, I think. And I was honestly a little surprised that the images with Aeryn and Crais had been fabricated. My first thought was that it was footage from when Aeryn was dealing with

That's interesting about SyFy not being okay with the references. Any reason why that you know of? General desire to dumb it down for a mass audience?

Farscape is SO good at making puppets/sets/robots feel like real characters. I spent so much of Green Eyed Monster being appalled by Talyn, and was really upset by poor DRD Pike clawing at the door before Moya starburst in Losing Time!

Who in Empok didn't like the role he was returning to?

That's an interesting interpretation, and definitely jibes with John #1 trying to sneakily get the pod to leave prior to John #2 making it there, but I viewed it as a "show don't tell" way to let the audience know that both Johns are exactly equally/have the same ownership of self.

Not that there needs to be any more evidence that Farscape is the anti-trek, but I find that comforting for the same reasons people mention above. I would give up life down here to join the Enterprise (high mortality rate aside) in a hot second. I love the characters on Farscape, but there is NO WAY I'd want in on

A perfect "show don't tell" moment, which Farscape is so good at!

The whole Farscape universe is chaotic neutral.

Nothing is more unhinged than Crackers Don't Matter.

In a way, it's like the inverse of the typical "don't split up" horror movie trope. Here, the crew knows they shouldn't do it, but their interpersonal relationships make a mess of their plan all the same.

I want to down vote this comment just out of sadness that it is so true. :(

Abigail has made some really thought-provoking points about anti-science agendas on these boards before, and I think your point is right. At the same time, I do think Farscape shows the scientific method and progress as a positive thing. This is way old, but in Thank God It's Friday, Again, Aeryn's personal growth is

I like your point about Aeryn's peacekeeper-ness here. She want's Dakon's role to work out because it ties in to her childhood and previous values. But at the same time, she's protective of this scared PK cook, and I imagine old Aeryn would be completely dismissive of a non-soldier PK like that.
