Back to Farscape

Why is it that the loudest bird in the neighborhood has to chirp near my window? Especially when I have a sinus headache?

Anyway, Farscape thoughts...



Excellent episode and probably one of my faves so far, considering how much I hated 2/3 of Season 1. I thought that Pilot's "pain" was a perfect metaphor for the entire episode. Holding in secrets can break a person, tearing them apart through emotional pain and suffering. Pilot's physical pain could be seen a reflection of the reality that he was truly in pain by the procedure while at the same time it serves as a symbol of his internal pain over his own decisions. Once he unburdens himself--he fesses up to himself and other--then the pain is gone.

CB did an oustanding job in this episode and it really showcased how people can make mistakes for their own personal gratification and ambition.

Besides, Pilot is my fave non-person on the show and I like when we get to learn more about him. Aeryn was fastastic this time around.



I wish I could say I really liked this episode. I didn't like sorceror man the first time around and I didn't like him very much this time, either. I thought the art concept was neat, though. I just really couldn't get into that particular character. All in all, a enjoyable episode at least.



Decent episode, though not one of my faves. The Zhaan thing is interesting. But I have to admit, I'm not really into or seeing this whole D'Argo/Chiana thing. Where on earth did THAT come from? Did they ever like hint at this before? I know they did in Picture If You Will and I remember sitting there scratching my head. I don't get it and it felt like it just came out of the blue. Was it hinted at--seriously--prior to these two or three episodes? Because it felt so forced to me. And I'd rather feel like it's been leading up to this instead of being slapped with it. Because I am sure I'm going to be seeing more of it.

Oh well. I guess it's better than the Crackers episode

Oh, I'm so glad you liked TWWW!!!!!! It's one of my favorite episodes of the entire series, and my favorite of season 2. And I totally agree with you about Pilot--so glad we got some Pilot-focus. And CB rocks like a rocking thing!

I'm also quite meh on both PIYW and HOTR--they're both entertaining enough, but that's all.

And I was very WTF about D'Argo/Chiana the first time I watched; it does come very out of the blue.

The Way We Weren't is one of the best episodes.Claudia Black gave one of her best performances as Aeryn Sun. CB showed us the many facets of Aeryn's character that won't be seen again for a while. CB took us from defiance and anger through hurt, remorse and guilt. I even found the emotional scenes between Aeryn and Pilot, so much so that I forgot it was CB interacting with a puppet.

I agree with you on TWWW - it is one of the best episodes in Season 2 and CLaudia Black did an outstanding job. The last eps where she interacts with Pilot, it is as if those beautiful huge eyes of Pilot are real and there are two actors doing this highly emotionally charged scene. Wonderful acting.

Oh well. I guess it's better than the Crackers episode
Oh you didn't like Crackers? I thought it was hilarious and a good intro to the weirdness that is John Crichton. I especially loved the Humans are superior dig :)

I envy you, you know. To discover Farscape in one go (instead of waiting one week after the other and also getting pre-empted), as you are in for a treat now for the rest of season 2. Out of their minds, the Princess trilogy, Beware of Dog, Won't get folled again, The Locket and Liars/Guns trilogy and Die Me Dichotomy ... I wish I could all watch them again *for the first time*. These are WOW.
