The Scape of the Far, yo

salienne...which is another way of saying, analyzing Farscape is so so so much fun. I still have issues with the fact that half of Aeryn's arc is making her someone who can love Crichton back, but after watching obsessively for the past few days (yes, while in Russia... I'm sad, I know, but I need something to do at night!), my love and analytical powerz are in full swing.
Oh, and "The Choice" has to be one of the best pieces of television ever. Ever. Ever. Don't believe me? Go to sidereel.com and watch. It's mind-blowingly good. And it makes me love and understand Aeryn's character so much more. How the hell Claudia Black hasn't won about 20,000 Emmies by now, I don't even know.
Although it's going to take a lot more rewatching of season 3 for me to figure out how the hell Moya-Crichton thought the child could be his or why he didn't find it odd that Aeryn wasn't showing at the start of season 4.
Also, I really want to put up a review of Green-Eyed Monster at some point, mainly because I love it but still want to rant about the flaws that boil down to our beloved Ben Browder's writing ethic of, "I am going to write an awesome story for these characters" instead of, "I am going to write an awesome story for these characters". When the literature and subtlety get in the way of character/situation believability, I get annoyed. Which sucks, because my love remains immense.
...And I really really need to sleep now.
Ta mates!
P.S. Farscape/Doctor Who fic, you will be written dammit, you will. Just need to get me Crichton's voice/motivations figured out a bit more, because his moments of empathy clash with his moments of lack of empathy and it's hard to figure out what's due to the situation and what's sloppy writing and what's character progression and, damn, that stuff really tends to throw a girl.
