As a newbie, it is taking a lot of self-control to limit myself to just two episodes a week. But I'm enjoying then so much I'm also already pre-emptively sad that one day the new episodes will run out!

Rappin' Jake Sisko is truly a genius for our time.

Aw, thanks @ThisIsNotAnInternetMeme ! I'm blushing.

My biggest problem with the holodeck is that, for how awesome a toy it would be, the rate at which it nearly kills everyone/achieves sentience is probably not a worthwhile risk to cart around on the Federation flagship. Beyond that, I'm willing to suspend my disbelief that all the most popular holodeck destinations…

I'm especially impressed they stuck with Aeryn being the real Aeryn - great character moments for her and set-up for more stuff happening down the road, I assume. This may be a stupid question, but are we to assume she thinks she's on earth too? Or is she "in on" the facade, like D'Argo and Rygel?

Thanks for this!

Yeah, but my touchstone for that was Let He … Over on DS9, and as delightful as all you folks are, nothing can really palliative the horror of that mess!

Super shallow time: I like how Chiana is introduced, and the actress is really great. Totally agree about the sexuality-as-survival-mechanism thing.
BUT I am not down with some other super sexy chick crowding out Aeryn! I am officially an embarrassingly big Aeryn-Crichton shipper.

I'm stealing this joke from fashion it so, but Gom'tuu's interior really did look like it was molded of poop.

Possibly unhelpful, but: Farscape is now streaming on Amazon Prime. Started just this week!

I put off watching Jeremiah Crichton most of this week because I didn't want to watch "bad" tv, and then was totally surprised when it ended up being an entertaining, completely innoffensive hour. While there's nothing great about it, there's nothing truly egregious (at least, not compared to some Trek I've endured -…

I definitely don't doubt that the cast/crew are all liberal open-minded folks who wouldn't do that on purpose (and I'm glad to hear the show goes to weirder places!). It was just the few beats of D'Argo's reaction that seemed meh to me. Definitely not worth nitpicking over in general - I super liked The Flax.

I love these so much. I hope your genius is being expressed in other ways beyond hilarious Internet message board commentary.

The furnace that burns weird alien baby dolls as fuel was great.

Yeah, jealousy is probably too strong a word, but someone (I forget who, sorry!) had a really nice observation in the PKTG review that Jaleena represents everything Aeryn thinks she can't be: the confident cute girl who makes out with Crichton by talking the tech talk with him. And gets to go home at the end with her…

I liked the female reveal and how the character was portrayed (and didn't see it coming even with the really obvious "you have no junk" conversation earlier in the episode), but I thought D'Argo's reaction read kind of like gay panic to me, which felt off (or at least, a show that usually treats sex maturely and…

Almost all of Aeryn and Chrichton's interactions are so entertainingly sexy. It's not in the same echelon of intellectual fodder as a lot of other stuff going on in the show, but it's probably what I enjoy watching the most!

Yes! It also makes it super confusing why Zhaan is bald then. Is it a genetic variant? Does she shave her head? Is it just Delvian pattern baldness?

Whoa … They wanted an actress YOUNGER than Claudia Black? Wikipedia tells me she was all of 26 years old when this was made! The entertainment industry really is crazy/horrifying when it comes to women, sigh.

I agree about manipulating Aeryn - it played right into her sense of inferiority about not knowing how things work or how to fix them for herself. I really love this side of Aeryn and how it's been explored, especially in her jealousy over Crichton's crush on PK tech girl and her pride in teaching herself to think…
