minxyFirst: teh porn. Lip Service now has upwards of 4400 words, but I think it might be crap. We shall see how it fares in Beta World. Might just post the first 1300 words as that was not so bad. Which is to say, tension was maintained. This may or may not be related to the list I wrote the extended flashfic for demanding a sequel. Pretties. They might not might if the tension isn't maintained throughout. I think they like resolution for some reason. *shrugs*
Now, to teh Farscape (and you thought SGA was on crack. Well, the fandom totally is. Farscape? the whole show is on crack.)
Bone to be Wild:
The title is punny. *groan*. Someone tell me how a dark asteroid field is going to provide enough light for a diverse array of plant life to photosynthesize like a mad tropical paradise? Also, where is all the mist and atmosphere and RAIN coming from?
Kick ASS, Zhaan is a plant, yeeee! Though why she's blue is a bit beyond me. Green would be good. I do like John's wtf? yet kewl. response. Wierd stuff is still wierd even when it's fascinating. The knee-jerk Whoa! bit is good. Nice, Ben!
Also, I'm listening to Anthony Simcoe wax poetic about Claudia Black and I'm starting to think these guys are their own biggest fans. So cute, but I do hope they're all using protection.
So the Not Nice Muppets were initially an obstacle for me dealing with Farscape but I do love how they allow the guest Aliens to have blinking lights on their heads and be giant walking pizza and it's totally fine. Also, I love the closeups on Pilot's eyes as Claudia communes with the red baby ship. Very expressive. Also, it's nice to know what the name Talyn refers to finally.
And Anthony loves Ben too. Awwww. What a softie. And he loves his guest stars, and his director, and Wayne Pygram (whose name I may have just misspelled) and Gigi Edgley.... I do recognize Bernie's voice. Probably from Stargate but I don't remember exactly what episode. CRAP! He was NEM in the wet!Daniel episode! Dayum. Knew I recognized his voice. I don't understand why falling through the pizza's-expando-laser is going to slice him in half, though. I mean, shouldn't it kill Zhaan and *hand flails* wouldn't it be a PROBLEM if the data stream of expando-Zhaan was interrupted? Like, she'd be missing a kidney at the very least?
Do they point guns in every episodes? Hmmmm.
The boneiferous chick is a really cool character: dangerous but sympathetic. Alien and yet shooting spikes out of her shoulders. Plus the blinky light show coming out of her ears is new and different. Is her name Emily or Em-Lee? Huh. I've always thought those dark contact lenses were a cool effect. From Betazoids to ... whatever Em-Lee is, it's just enough off center to make a critter feel subtley alien. Plus, I have a serious thing for dark eyes, so I think it's sexy as all get out.
Right, next? Family Ties.
Claudia and Ben doing commentaries are so. entertaining. I love how invested they are in their characters and motivations and Aeryn had this line about testosterone that got a huge laugh and everyone loved it and Claudia apparently fought it because even though it was popular she thought it was too much of an Earth-based reference. *loves Claudia* This sort of makes me adore Vala that much more too, oddly.
Rygel Rygel Rygel. I still have trouble suspending disbelief with Rygel. Maybe if the lip synch on his words were a little better, but you know? I prefer muppet!Yoda to CGI!Yoda, even though CGI!Yoda fights.
Crace is sorta pretty. *pets Crace* *smooths his hair back* There's really a lot of crying in this episode. Must be annoying to have to serve two masters with season enders that might be series finales as well. Hmm. I don't have any really deep thoughts on this except that I wouldn't trust that space suit to protect me from the lack of elements out in space. And I really, really don't get how D'Argo is just going to be fine for 15 minutes and then pass out. *handwavy dance of letting it go*
Wait, is that a supersoaker that they're using to add catalyst to their extremely potent explosive? A supersoaker??? God, this series is on crack. I love it. Bring on season 2!
It's kind of nice as a fan to watch things on DVD and not have to wait to find out if there will be a next season or even just wait for next week for a new episode.

So while a comprehensive list would probably be wasted on me, a few really good vids? I'd love that.
*cough*
Here's a list I prepared earlier ... Where I haven't marked otherwise, assume spoilers for all seasons and the mini (and IMHO it is worth seeing this show as unspoiled as possible). And I've put links to websites if they can't be easily found via the vidder's LJ.
Let me know if you have any trouble playing stuff.
S.O.S. (spoilers through s3, mild spoilers for s4 - very contextual, so don't watch it until you've got there, but possibly my favourite Farscape vid ever)
Come Together (spoilers through s2)
Suspended in Gaffa
Mixed Nuts
Ecstatic Drum Trip
Right Here, Right Now (spoilers through s3)
Karaoke Soul (spoilers through s4 - very contextual)
Rain Dogs (no spoilers past "Mind the Baby" - safe for you to watch now!)
Moving Right Along (spoilers for all seasons and the mini, but you've seen the mini, right? If so, then I don't think it'll spoil you for anything else important, so go watch it now, it's adorable)
A & B Song (spoilers through s3)
At: http://www.farscapefantasy.com/videos/
JS & AAR:
Are You Gonna Be My Girl (spoilers for all, but doesn't really spoil you for anything significant apart from "Aeryn Is Cool As Fuck" and "Lots Of Sex Is Had" - both of which I'm guessing you've already picked up on ...)
The Sky Is Broken (spoilers through s3)
