Nuts! I just wrapped all of the Farscape eps myself this week - and am pretty much suffering from withdrawal too. Spending the weekend watching all Ben Browder's SG1 eps I can find b/c I miss Chricton! And Aeryn!

i've had a hard time lately watching sg-1 because i can't help but see aeryn and john overlaid on vala and cam; most of the time i can separate them from one another, because claud and ben do a wonderful job separating them, but as i finished off season four, it got harder and harder for me -- i finished a story draft last week and my beta said, "i changed the spots where it should have said cam and it said john instead." *facepalm* but DAMN. what a hell of an ending season four of farscape had, i tell you what.
(also, I watched all of s3 this week while home sick, and now I am trying to make myself watch s4, but--and I don't know if you thought this or not--s4 cannot hold a candle, in my opinion, to s3 and that makes it HARD to get through it, except for the eps on Earth.)
I WATCH PK WARS TOMORROW. i'm too wiped out to watch it tonight, i can't cry anymore.
i didn't think that about s4, really? i think that s3 is the BEST season, but the episodes i loved in s4 -- the ones on earth, "john quixote", "constellation of doubt" -- i loved more than any other episodes individually in the series. and i found the john-and-aeryn-and-baby thread incredibly compelling, so that kept me moving through S4. i never found S4 quite as compelling as two crichtons, john-and-aeryn, S3, but it was compelling enough that i watched on the edge of my seat most of the season.
Yeah, s4 had some great standalone episodes, this is true. Much like Buffy s4, though, I felt like overall it lacked a compelling cohesiveness. I think my complaints mostly had to do with Aeryn and how they handled her storyline, baby aside. And to be more coherent about that, I think I need to go back and watch s4 again. Hey, motivation! I am not trying to rain on your squee, though, sorry!
Peacekeeper Wars is...well, it will take you apart and put you back together again and make you LIKE it, which, as you kow, is par for the course with Farscape. Also, John and Aeryn are even more smoking hot than ever.
my squee for "constellation of doubt" alone is SO LARGE that it cannot be dampened by anything. but i can see what you mean -- i found the aeryn/crichton and the aeryn & xhalax storylines of S3 to be done more ... completely than her storyline in S4, aside from the ending, with john. more compelling, at least; she felt vaguely incomplete in S4.
not that it stopped me from loving it completely, just that i can see what you mean. but you should watch again, so you can talk to me about it!
I want to comment on this thread to say FLAIL FLAIL I love this show lwith the fire of a thousand burning suns that tayln might fly into, but I don't want to see spoilers, so there might be typing mistakes in this comment because I'm clsoing myseyes!!!!!!!11!!!!! *heasrts*
oh my GOD, min, I can't EVEN. I seriously think this might be my favorite show in the history of ever, because I cannot think of ANYTHING that has ever given me the kind of emotional reactions and intensity and joy and just EVERYTHING that Farscape has. Just, <3<3<3<3<3<3
this series just knows how to push EVERY SINGLE ONE of my buttons, pearl, and i cannot even put into words how much i love these characters and these stories and ALL OF IT. ♥ ♥ ♥
luckily triskellita ordered PK wars last week, so it's sitting on top of my tv waiting for my heart to recover enough that i can watch it. i can't even imagine waiting TWO YEARS.
