Three episodes, now with stream of consciousness commentary!

[minxy]

I love Aeryn. The no nonsense ‘the human doesn’t want to talk *eye roll*’ line was marvelous.

Oh, and this is 2.14, Beware of Dog

I’m curious about this title. Why not ‘Beware of THE Dog’, eh? Guess we’ll find out. Rygel is being expressive in his jaunt through the storage area, and it’s nice to have a couple sexing it up on a show without shame, without hiding, letting all the crew know about it. Go D’Argo and Chiana! You’re probably doomed, but such is romance on a T.V. show.

Aw, cute little fella and bathroom humor. They pull no punches.

Um, when they said ‘parasites?’ I thought they meant the little single celled organism that my friends down the hall study. That thing is really a eukaryote. *shiver*

BWAHAHAHAHA! The Vork has a crush on Aeryn. Clearly it’s into BDSM because Aeryn has done nothing but hit and strangle the thing.

I like the Chi/D’Argo banter. *glee*

And I’m fascinated that John is really going bonkers, or at least all his weird behavior means the rest of them are going to doubt anything unverified.

I like that they’re using the DRDs for surveillance, I like that their biting and urinating on each other is often a plot point as well as played for humor.

Aaaaaiiiiii! The answer to that is NO! *glee*

*glee*glee*glee*

Interesting twist on trust issues and appearance and all that. Good yarn. And I got a little John and Aeryn moment at the end, very nice, specially that ‘I’ll ask for help, just like you do’ bit. *snerk* No mercy with those two. I love that they don’t go all sappy just because they’re turned on.

2.15 is Won’t Get Fooled Again.

Daddy Creighton! Awwwwww…. After Alias, I have a soft spot for Daddies.

Uh, and Aeryn with a rally big needle and a nurses outfit? What kinda crazy fantasy is this ep going to be?

It gives me happiness to see Zhaan in street clothes, weird as it is. I sorta never noticed how tall she is, though.

Look at DARGO! *glee* Oh gracious, LISTEN to D’Argo. Awesomeness.

Are they trying to make John look like he’s schvitzing? Or are they just shooting on location and it’s warm?

The band with Scorpy and Pilot looks oddly in place.

Ooooooh, creepy bug sounds. They really know how to play to genuinely creepy ideas without saying too much.

Shall I ASK what the hell Aeryn has on her head? See? Mom’s know when someone is sweating.

Oh, my, GOD I love Ben’s high-pitched crazy laugh. It sounds so broken. And, Haaaaarvey is named. Yay. Love the twist that Harvey the mental possessor has it in his best interest to protect John’s mind. Interesting.

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! A BDSM scene! Oh, they didn’t. And, oh, my side! Crais in red pumps. *collapses* D’Argo a flaming queen coming out to John on Make Out Point? *dies* Stop! They gotta stop!

So, do we know whether these fantasies are randomly plucked from John’s mind, grown from his weirder dreams or if they are the inventions of the Scarran or stress of the moment? I’m inclined towards the idea that the possibilities aren’t all that foreign to him, but he’d never played them out that far.

You know, that Scarran had killer abs. How do you do crunches when you’re head is that big?

Aw, Scorpy has avoided the whole morning after problem by letting Harvey manipulate John’s memory? Nice.

2.16 The Locket

Ooooh, Claudia gets to play aged, and her voice is good, but she is moving very quickly and easily. Also? Ah, the old ‘plant grows out of control’ schtick.

Where did Stark come from all of a sudden? He just showed up two days ago? What up, that’s random.

I do love the D’Argo/Chi; her reaction to any mention of his son in particular.

John is going even more Southern with his age.

This one had moments, but the Jothie thing and the plant thing and the aging and all, all feel rather disjointed, and only loosely connected.

There is something bittersweet about Aeryn and John accepting each other and getting to a very sweet, comfortable, trusting place and then forgetting it's even possible, but the locket scene at the end with the picture bit fell a little flat somehow.

I just watched these all recently, The Locket last night so we're in synch! ::beams:: Having so much fun with them but nothing useful or coherent to add. Loved reading your take on them, though.
