Farscape s3
Just started s4 of Farscape and god, s3 just about broke my heart. Tayln and Crais! NO. God, I loved those two so much. This was worse than Zhaan, by like a factor of 10 million. I loved their severely fucked up and co-dependent relationship.
And don't even get me started on the two Crichtons. I can't even. Watching it I had many thoughts about Moya!John and Talyn!John, and some of those thought even made sense, but now I can't access them past: JOHNS. It can be argued that T!John had the more important plot lines ie: relationship with Aeryn, Crais's murky loyalty, Scorpius and wormhole technology, and that M!John had the less relevant ones to the overall season, but by the end when it's M!John that lives you can't help look at everything from a new angle. Well, at least me. Given that it's Moya!John who lives by the end of season I'm looking at everything he went through in a whole different light, especially the fact he wasn't with Aeryn (which damn, the amount of love these two have break me), so yeah not only does she leave him once, but twice, and he has to deal with the shit he went through without her before she came back (after watching T!John die), then the shit after (that T!John asked of him), and the leaving again. Man. John. Damn. Then Aeryn does that and lord, this show is not good for my heart.
And then they have the classic team split up end of season episode. Where this could have been contrived and just normal, but it wasn't because the whole time I was rooting for John in keeping Aeryn on the ship and god, the wedding. I mean, I knew that it was dream/vision/lesson but damn, and the picking out of the dresses and Aeryn's talk with John's dad and then the dancing. I was a ball of goo. Gooey goo. Even knowing the death was only happening in John's mind I still was flailing and shouting "no!" to the screen.
Harvey, though, never failed to make me smile or roll my eyes or you know, laugh my ass off.
I HEART JOOL SO MUCH. Seriously, much love for Jool and (because I'm spoiled overall for the series) I know I'm going to miss her. She was bratty, smart, kind of hyperactive at times, she ended up being a good friend to all of them, and I love her and Chiana together. So BFF (that might occasionally make out.)
D'Argo and John's friendship is still one of my favourite things on this show. Revenging Angel was made of all kinds of win.
Oh, and speaking of specific episodes:
- Meltdown. GUH. Once again, John and Aeryn just need to make out forever.
- The Choice. CLAUDIA, how AMAZING are you?! Again another episode bad for my heart, and when you realise just what her choice really is, and why she makes it. Oh, Aeryn, sweetie.
And even in the "lighter" episodes there's just always *something* that just flips you on your head. For example, Eat Me, personally I found it okay, not one of the best episodes and really I was prepared to be all okay, good episode, but then the end hits you and you realise here is where we get the two Crichton and damn, it turns everything upside down and inside out and it starts the overall arc of the season. Scratch and Sniff was like for me too.
In general I think so far season 3 has been my favourite season so far and now onto season 4. (Where I hope Aeryn comes back soon, Tayln and Crais will be missed, omg and how!, and I await the season/series finale with anxious curiosity, because I hear this one might really break me.)
So my non spoilery s3 comment: John and Aeryn need to make out forever.
