A speck, a mist, a shape, I wist!

Yesterday was the sort of day that can only earn an L, and the sort that it's best not to speak of at length. It's not superstition, just the act of moving along. I think the only thing good I can say about yesterday was we had a decent walk just after sunset, and there were bats everywhere, flitting to and fro. One chased a mockingbird, which I

But honestly, I don't know if this is a good thing. Aside from the final forty five minutes or so, I was not particularly thrilled with the mini-series in October 2004, and I don't yet know what to make of the news.

Maybe the webisodes will benefit from less pressure than was put on the mini-series. I think a big part of the problem with the mini-series was a sort of self-conscious drive to make the Ultimate Spectacular End. Well, and the baby. Baby's always a problem, in my book, unless he's a leopard.

One can only hope. I we can believe that what we saw in the mini was somehow representative of a fourth season (and I'm not so sure), compressed from twenty-two hours into only four, then that explains a lot of what went wrong.

I will say, with all that went wrong with the mini, I did like the bit with the creation of the wormhole weapon, that we saw something on that scale, with that sort of intensity. The battle scene just before that, though, didn't exactly work for me.

Agreed. I was never cool with the whole baby plot device.

That bit worked for me, too. In fact, I think it was the best part. It was the only thing that really earned the big emotion every other couple minutes in the mini-series was desperately aiming for. I also sort of liked the internal politics among the Scarrans, though the peace-making eidolon thing was incredibly silly.

That scene was humping my leg and I just wanted it to stop.

Utterly superfluous. That I feel that way about it makes me wonder if I'm just not clued in on the whole parenthood thing, but it made two bad things in my mind; it felt like a meaningless grab for tension, when we're already adequately worried about Crichton and Aeryn, and it also destroyed any of the tension between Crichton and Aeryn.

Same here. It was one of the only things in the mini that made we say wow, which, of course, was one of the things Farscape was always best at.

I also sort of liked the internal politics among the Scarrans, though the peace-making eidolon thing was incredibly silly.

Yep, and yep. I saw no point in complicating the plot with the Eidolons (sp?), and hated the "Peacekeepers are really transplanted humans" reveal.

Well said.

And yeah, the whole baby thing, I know it made the "shippers" happy and all,
