I really should be focusing solely on the TEST OF EVIL PROPORTIONS I have in Hist/Dev tomorrow, but... there are a couple things I can't help but share and squee over:

(1) "Typical" music video! While not necessarily my favorite Mute Math song (which has nothing to do with its quality as a single), this. vid. is. brilliant. And I swear I'm ( Read more... )

Farscape is awesome! :) I still haven't forgiven Sci-Fi channel for the way it brutally axed the show.

Yeah - just realized I finally know the source of your namesake! ;)

The axed shows always end up being the gems, somehow.

Ah! You got as far as the final four episodes, well done! Where Farscape jumped into OMGGREAT territory for me was "A Human Reaction" and "A Bug's Life." Then "Nerve" came along and I nearly died

John Crichton being tortured and crying. Broke my widdle heart, yes it did. And then as it keeps going on in "The Hidden Memory," you just ache along with him. Because, yes, of course he's going to be rescued, but you just see him collapse in the cell, and he looks like dren (hee!) and Browder really sells the character as being one session away from total collapse. It hurts, how scary that is.

But just you wait for the finale. There's a scene there that just about KILLED me with Crichton, and maaaaah!!! No spoilers, but it's seriously my favorite scene in the whole first season, probably. Just because of what is said and not said and happens and doesn't happen as a result.

*eats self* I haaate my school's mailroom! They redefine the term "snail mail", and I want my last disc NOW.

That was some harsh torture - I'm usually pretty numbed to stuff like that onscreen, but John being the recipient (and the purely mental nature of it) somehow made it that much worse. No frelling with Crichton's brain! *growls* That scene with Stark comforting him was just heartbreaking.

Oh, and Scorpius officially intimidates the hell outta me. 'Cos you just know he's not going to let them get away with anything for very long.

Mrrr, if the DVDs weren't so frappin' expensive, I'd just up and buy Season 2.

The torture is most notable for showing how incredibly destructive it is. Something to watch for, especially in season two, is that when Crichton is stressed or going crazy, his accent kicks up to a Southern 11 out of 10. The fact that Crais goes into the chair and can't keep it together either? GAH.

Scorpius is very scary. He gets more scary in season two, FYI.

Oh, and speaking of? It's really only about $60 per season at this point ::evil grin:: Get the Starburst Edition of the DVDs, and it's like three sets per season, $20 each. I'm slowly building up my collection. I'm almost to season three!
