The Wind that Shakes the Barley, Farscape and Buffy. And quote of the day

I keep thinking about The Wind that Shakes the Barley.

Well, I guess we had to disagree on farscape at some point -- i loved dream a little dream and coup de clam both. ;) I think DaLD could have been a bit stronger if we'd seen it in context of the time frame without knowing it was a flashback perhaps, but I still loved it. It's one of the few later Zhaan episodes that I actually liked. And it was the first episode where I actually liked chiana. And rygel got such a big part ;)

I confess CbC is my least favorite FS ep ever (yes, even more so than Jeremiah Crichton). I usually like the gross-out humor they do, but for some reason it really fell flat and the interactions felt off in that point of the story. But hey, it as Crichton in drag so it can't be all bad :P

I don't like CBC either--everything is just weird. Ok, I do like the way it's filmed, that's kinda cool. I agree, the interactions seem off and weird and inconsistent.

I'm not as averse to DALD, even though my favorites are Aeryn, John and Pilot. Just seeing Chiana so loopy is almost worth it, and the hallucinations rock.

but not among my top episodes, that is true.

I am so glad I am not the only one not keen on CBC. It just felt off in the very grim stuff going before and after.

DALD isn't a huge fave, but CBC is the only ep I actively dislike (yes, even JC gets a pass).

But after DALD is OOM which I just finished and I love that one to bits.

I love OOTM! So funny, has some nice character stuff with the two "couples", and even with Rygel. He's much more respected, even though he's still Rygel, when he looks like John or Aeryn. That goes to show that people really do give you a pass on jerky behavior when you're nice to look at ;)

CBC had potential for the Sikozu/Aeryn relationship, that's for sure, but they skimmed it. I do like, though, the scene with John, Aeryn, and D'Argo in the dr's office when he and Noranti are...um...indisposed.

OOTM is awesome. it is Best Friend's favorite ep. I am trying to write meta for it but it's hard because it's funny so it's hard to meta :)

It's a great episode. One of my friends said that was the episode that made her realize that, in addition to being a cool looking show, these people were good actors.
