So I'm choosing that one too! But I have a "grieving" video that will tear your heart out. I don't htink I've ever cried that much over a character death. I still cry if I even think about it. Brilliant acting! And then the torture of there being the other John. God, when they finally re-connected I was like a blubbering idiot again. So yeah, super sad.
Oh totally! I have admittedly only watched the episode 3 times. And even that was 3-4 years in between. It really puts you into a headspace, so I rather space Farscape out like that.
I was getting teary eyed just selecting the screencaps for the banner last night.
Oh man. I have watched that episode twice in the last two days (working on a fic). I thought that if I rewatched it a few times, I would get desensitized enough to pay attention to the ambient stuff I wanted to get a fix on for the story, but NO. Every. single. time I see it I end up sobbing like a baby. Aeryn's humour and maturity are so stunning here (joking about making John a better person, and then telling him she doesn't want him to go thinking about regrets). But it's the "I'm very angry," that just sets me bawling (oh jeez, I'm making myself all verklempt) and then I try to make myself feel better by saying to the TV, "It's okay, Aeryn, you've got a spare," and I get all gobby-giggly and then I remember the other John in the transport after Aeryn comes back, and he's weeping because he's jealous of himself who is dead and Aeryn's so broken and he's the one person who can't help her and I'm just bawling again. Leave it to FS to create a totally nutty situation and then play it for all its raw and wrenching implications. I

It's a very...honest death. And the situation is leaves behind has implications that continue for the rest of the show's run. It wasn't just a quick ''oh that happened' next week we're off to fight the bad guys' and Stargate suffered in that respect (I mean, I know Jack was shoving it all deep down again and he's his own kind of fucked up too, but one scene of his putting his gun together does not cover that emotional gap that Daniel left behind for the audience).
