I feel the same way!

I'm still here and loving the show! I was absent last week on vacation but read all the comments retroactively. This is the first time I've really watched a show along with the recaps, and it's great fun (and everyone's observations enrich the experience soooo much - though they make it hard to add insightful comments

Hand wavey for the guy, but if they're on a planet where compatibility is determined by genetic testing by smooching, people are probably less driven by personality than by the test/hotness. Kind of?

And all of her reactions with him are so delightfully adolescent: being completely obnoxious in rejecting him, then using him for a quick rebound when she's hurt by Crichton. It seems so believable for someone who is developing emotionally later than those around her.

It was a shame to see Zhaan sidelined again, but I liked the Aeryn/Mr. Jawline (ha! Good one) plot. In most shows either Aeryn or her suitor would be in the right and the other would learn some lesson (either to push people away less or that no means no), but here even when the royal dude is being a dangerous pain in

That was one of my favorite moments of all the episodes - we learn a bit about Scorpy, but still not as much as we think!

Agreed. That scene seemed pretty unambiguous to me. I mean, they were practically about to do it in front of Rygel when they first got their bodies back!

@Winged Hussar That's a great moth story I've never heard! Though it begs the question, how often DO you hear people talk about being fucked by a dentist? Even as a dentist, it's not something that comes up in conversation too often!

Disclaimer: I do public health dentistry, so rich-people dentistry is not so much my thing. As far as I'm concerned, if you have teeth, I don't care what color they are.

Spider! I will not edit my entry but I am hanging my Trekkie head in shame.

THE COMPANION MENTIONS FUTURO'S TEETH! I feel so vindicated!

I haven't seen any Farscape beyond these episodes so I can't make grand thematic claims like some of the other commenters, but I think that Aeryn's emotional progression being linked to her acquisition of technical/scientific skills (and independently developing the scientific method in TGIF,A) is a pretty good

Eh, well, I'll confess your crude joke got a laugh.

And at least D'Argo kind of acknowledged it wasn't really "evolution" by describing Neandro as just one possible evolutionary path. At least it's better than when TNG turned Barclay into a lizard … Cringe.

I liked My Three Crichtons a lot, but the dentist in me was super distracted by future John's too-big too-white fake teeth. They must have been so uncomfortable!

I loved that latter part. And even 13 years later I was kind of surprised that made it to tv!

Interesting! Now I feel bad for thinking the guy was doing a bad accent. Though any Australians want to comment on the cultural legitimacy of a white dude playing a space opera bad guy using the accent of a historically disenfranchised minority group?

Black clown suits with forward-facing yarmulkes, in fact!

"Cajun" is a very charitable description of those accents, but I'll admit they were compelling to watch, even as I winced a bit.

The judge's outfit was suuuuper similar to what Q wears in "Encounter at Farpoint." It should be mandatory for all space opera judges, now.
