Thanks. I'm sure more of it will click when I rewatch it. And it's not to say I didn't enjoy S1 and S2. I did. I just feel like the show got progressively better with each season.
For whatever reason, S1 just didn't work for me, which is odd as I tend to enjoy the first seasons of most of my shows. I think i expected John to be out of sorts with everything. I felt like he adpated way too quickly, but I could be remembering wrong. I just expected more scientist and less whatever they gave us. Then it sort of spiraled from there - since John felt off, Aeryn felt off, the scenario felt off, and I couldn't buy Crais to save my life.
I felt like the show shifted and changed for the better when Chiana came on board and then when Scorpius appeared. Scorpius was the best thing that could have happened in the show. Suddenly, it's like the writers hit their stride and it only got better from there :) With that in mind, I can only imagine that on rewatching, I'll enjoy it much more.
I'm also in the minority where I really dislike their crazy wild episodes and I much prefer the plotty storyarcs and important character-driven episodes.
The show held my attention in S2 and S3 and I really enjoyed it. S4 won it for me :)
