Thanks for an awesome reply. I totally understand where you're coming from. And I agree, I don't think that just because Bay is hearing, say, that she's not allowed to care about the rights of her classmates and the future of her school. I think the show did a really good job of showing what a sincere place her rage…

I want Oliver and Harvey from Farscape to team up, combining their charming, put-upon affects to create art/destroy the universe. Or to merely rage at their inevitable impotence.

It's been interesting for me, as a hard-of-hearing person in their twenties, to follow the treatment of Bay's arc more than anything this season. I have a natural kind of sympathy for Daphne. The recent arc of Daphne's story, going from seeking to blend in at all costs, to an overcompensating sort of pride, rings very…

Ya know. I'm sure Farscape and BSG would be an interesting comparison for another day. It often seems that people who love Farscape tend to think BSG takes itself too seriously, and people who love BSG think Farscape's camp elements get in the way of it achieving its potential (Some love and hate both, but whatever).…

I swear. On the one hand there's my sexuality. And on the other hand there's my sexuality when watching Farscape.

It pulls across his chest in a very particular and amazing way.

I'm just going to put a general warning for spoilers.

Also, Claudia Black's legs and how they take you out of that "dying of a space disease" moment.

@avclub-0ae7484a9f3bbd2a21df420050c032ae:disqus That comment last week was on point. I genuinely think the fact that the show embraces its space opera nature, as you say, is what makes it a better show. If you're afraid or disdainful of the genre you're working in, then you end up having nothing much to say about that…

Which sucks because I think there are a LOT of things that Farscape does way better, or at least more pleasantly weirdly, than Firefly or Battlestar and gets not enough credit for any of them.

Reading the comments on these reviews is like living in an alternate world where everyone has seen this show and thinks it's as awesome and important as I do—particularly as a work of televisual art/craft. I am enjoying the fantasy.

A lot of people seem to be playing up Durka Returns, which is a fun episode, but more of a marker for when the season gets consistently really good. A Human Reaction, for me, was the first season one episode that got me really excited about what the show was capable of, since it sort of broke with Farscape's (already,…

One of my most and least favorite parts of this show is the fact that even the worst episodes have some small redeeming thing, usually having to do with the characters, that makes it impossible for me to skip on a rewatch, but also serves to remind me of how bad the rest of the episode is (and didn't HAVE to be). The…

That very same impression turned me off the first time I watched this show. If it means anything, John Crichton ended up becoming one of my favorite characters in anything ever. He never really stops seeming like a deeply good, corn-fed American guy, but (SPOILERS?) the universe is just *horrible* to him, and it…

I don't know if someone else has mentioned this, but when Jessa started bleeding I thought it indicated that she was miscarrying, rather than simply getting her period. Which would definitely give the moment a different tone.
