Farscape
My brain is so frelled. It took me weeks to do it but I finally finished watching the whole Farscape series and just... damn. I don't even know where to start. Well, maybe at OMG they killed D'Argo?! Those bastards!
I have to say that season 4 felt a bit off, mostly because of the characterization of Aeryn. I love Aeryn to bits and pieces (she's my favourite character, along with Pilot) but she didn't seem like herself throughout the season. I love that she can kick ass, that she's cold and guarded with her emotions but its been such a gem to see her slowly deforst. The fact that Aeryn became an assassin when she was off Moya made me go, "Whaaa?" And why she and Crichton weren't together, I didn't understand the reasons from both parties. I didn't enjoy seeing Aeryn longing for John. Not that she shouldn't but it seemed like she was wearing her emotions on her sleeve and it just didn't seem in character. Claudia Black's hair really bothered me too. Was she wearing a wig? It was extremely long and the top of hair looked puffy and unnatural. It was just a distraction. I did love the episodes when they were on Earth.
I LOVED season 3. Well, not the 2 Crichton thing but when Talyn!John and Aeryn finally got together? OMG YAY! I cried and cried and cried in The Choice because I could feel Aeryn’s pain and longing for TJohn. It was 3 in the morning and tears were just streaming down my face. CB's acting (and everyone else's) was just fantabulous. A Human Reaction was the episode that really reeled me into Farscape, and incorporating that pivotal scene into this ep just killed me. How gorgeous was Claudia Black when she was all depressed and gothic? I don't think I can ever stop gushing about how beautiful she is. My girl crush for her is surpassing Jennifer Garner. When she had to return to Moya to face Moya!John? I hated it because as Aeryn said, they were so good together and MJohn didn't get to experience any of it but the acting was so superb that I couldn't tear myself away from the angst of the screen. I was just hurting for these characters all over, and I've succumbed to John/Aeryn.
I fell in love with the other characters as well. Who would've thought that I would learn to love muppets? I can't believe there was a time when I thought Pilot and Rygel were the weirdest things to happen on tv because they're real characters/people to me now. Have I mentioned my love for Pilot? He’s such a badass, heee. He was portrayed as a gentle soul earlier on (they chopped off Pilot’s arm and he let them!) but then he got feisty and even banned the guys from the ship. 1812 is the bestest DRD ever. Rygel's a selfish bastard but he's really a softy. I have a soft spot for Chiana and D'Argo's hilarious. Stark has his moments but annoys me quite; I never felt much for Zhaan and didn't cry over her death; meh to Noranti; and awww, Jools. You can't help but love Crichton since he's the main character, our fellow hero, and his popcult comments cracks me up. Scorpy! I really felt for him in S3&4, and I always love the scenerios that Harvey and John play out.
After finishing the mini, I felt drained and depressed. Whoo for peace between the Peacekeepers and Scarrans, no more chasing wormholes from John, and a baby Crichton. The scenerio of how Aeryn gave birth was so... perfect. The humour in her lines and wanting to shoot people, the way John chased her around in the fountain, Stark marrying them, and having the baby in the middle of a battle - it seems so overdone and cheesy, but I laughed and worried and it just felt so right for them. I still can't get over D'Argo's death. I can't believe I'm done with the series. I really wish I watched it while it was on tv and had the time to slowly enjoy the storylines unfold and leave me with heartaches. I would have enjoyed the process of seeing how others reacted to the eps, but I'm just glad I had the chance to discover Farscape. The acting, the continuity, the visuals, the development of the characters and storylines - everything was just fantastic. Since I rushed my viewing this time, I'm going to do a rewatch in May after school's done to get a chance to absorb everything in.
Note to self: don’t get emotionally attached to cancelled shows. It can't be healthy to be depressed over a show that's already over.
Cdn Nats started today, wheee! It's my first figure skating competition and so far, so good. I just double checked the schedule and I'm extremely annoyed to find that I'm missing Eman and Jeff's quals group tomorrow. Dammit, I thought they were in the other group! I'm *thisclose* to wanting to skip my classes. *holds self back*
Scrubs is finally coming to DVD! Huzzah!
I don't know what's up with my eyes lately, but they always feel fatigue. I guess that's my cue to head to bed.
