Welcome to the Federation Starship SS Buttcrack!

[Poll #1050350]

As you can see, I'm falling in love all over again. Every time I go back to Farscape after a spell of not watching any I ask myself incredulously how I managed to live without it this long. It really is the show that has everything: emotional complexity, depth of character, good writing, kickass women with guns, Ben Browder in tight leather, huge explosions and Muppets. And Scorpius, who gets a sentence all to himself. That face-licking thing of his... *shiver*

So. Damn. Bloody. Good.

Why so difficult?

Damnit, that was hard.

Ended up going with The Way We Weren't for several reasons:

[*] Top notch acting from all concerned, especially the muppets

[*] The revelation of full, compelling backstories for character.

[*] It's the one I used in uni to hook my housemate ;)

Well, the restaurant, it, uh, sort of burned down - I don't want to talk about it,

Oooh, your subject line reminded me of another one of my favourite episodes; by which I mean I-Yensch You-Yensch. The cook and the blonde girl and all their backstory and the insurance scam and poor Braca and SO MUCH LOVE!

Thank you, though. That's what I want; episodes to hook someone. It's hard for a longterm fangirl to tell whatll work best on someone coming to it fresh.

...also, I really need a D'Argo icon. *runs off to find one*

I watched The Way We Weren't last night. You could well be right. Watched I-Yensch You-Yensch and Crackers Don't Matter too, just because I wanted to. So much joy. Tonight is Look At The Princess (mainly for the immortal line "It's not you, it's me. I just don't like you" and also for D'Argo's TMI moment just as John tuens to stone. Awesomeness.) and Scratch 'n' Sniff. I thin my head may explode with pleasure.

I'm very fixated on D'Argo right now, because he's so kickass and he's Captain. I never was before.

Damn it, now you've got me all confused. I was going to spend my weekend watching season 3 of Galactica, but all the Farscape love you're spreading's reminded me just how mcuh I love the show, and I want to watch all of them again.

Blast you. ;)

Haaaa! Chalk one up for the good bad good bad interesting complex guys!

Not that BSG isn't faboo and all. But it's not Farscape calibre, in my utterly unhumble opinion.
