FARSCAPE, land of the leather pants

minxyFarscape 3.12 Meltdown.
That’s an ominous title. Just sayin’.
And instantly, we have the Not Killing of Xanax Sun.
Or not. Though I enjoy the absolute un-reaction of Crais to the nonsensical 007 reference from John.
Why are all the shots of Gigi Edgely in the opening sequences in such complete greyscale? Is it just a preferences for the cinematography?
Wow, interesting danger here. We’re flying into a sun as a result of strange radiation?
And Talyn avoided it, but now he’s oozing red smoke. That can’t be good.
John and Aeryn are being very very cute and happy and smiley. They’re clearly doomed and I’m resolutely Not Going to Think About That. Nope. OOoooooh! SMOOTCHING! Yum. Good smootching.
Hee, Talyn is oozing pheremones. Oh, or adrenaline (for the record, I said that *before* John did.) How funny that in Green Eyed Monster Talyn was all about keeping John and Aeryn apart. *pets Talyn* Such a fanboy. He’s overcome with teh OTP.
I recognize the ghostie, but I’m not sure how. Starks reaction to her is very funny innocent/disbelief.
Okay, we get an angel and demon dilemma. And John/Aeryn canoodling constantly. *is overcome with teh cute* While Crais is triggerhappy, and Stark is, what? Working? Oh, she’s dead already? That’s interesting.
Looks like the angel and demon representations are (“Right, bad mist!” LOL, Aeryn, you know you want to jump his bones) staying true to expectations so far. Thought I have to say that the Devil guy has a great deep voice and the Angel woman has a, erm, inconsistent accent.
Resist the mist. Right, John. Ha, Aeryn’s really close. With porny jazz music playing in the background. Bow wow chicka bowowowow… Oops, interruptus.
Awesome, gotta love Stark’s plans, particularly the glee with which he announces them. EEEP! Stark! Y’OKAY??? BUDDY???
Eep?
Erm, shaky on the floating tenticled Stark/Talyn, but whatev. I think it might partly be me being annoyed with the Angel woman.
I know I’m supposed to be invested in whether we’re going into the sun or whatever, but I’m far more entertained by the dance of physicality between John and Aeryn. I mean, they can be just holding hands and I’m hypnotized. Are they ever still? There’s always something going on.
I think Aeryn has thicker eyebrows than Vala does, you know?
HOLY SHIT, JOHN IS TOTALLY PORNING OVER HER ARMS. Can’t really fault him, though. Wonder if Stark is upping the misting or something.
I like him yelling when Angel woman shows up. That was cute. And he pulls the “I CAN SAVE YOU!!!” routine and he really can, that’s kind of awesome. Go Stark. Nobody trusted you, but you weren’t going completely mental afterall. *pets Stark*
Oops, didn’t work. That’s wonky. Aw, a Rygel moment of bodily fluids, betrayal and gluttony.
Oh, how very Phantom of the Opera with the Angel chick. AWWWWWWWWWWxeleventybillion with John and Aeryn and their lovedovey ways. *snuggles them* Poor Crais (HEY, John just pulled a Phantom of the Opera reference) and his Completely Ineffective drawing of weapons.
“You can’t argue with a WOMAN!” That’s right John, you educate the universe.
Heh, Crais is still ineffectually macho, I wonder if John and Aeryn are going to finally get a moment to themselves….. YAYNESS!!!! LOVIN, BAYBEE!
That was the only way that episode could end, thankyouverymuch.
3.13 Scratch and Sniff
I think they got a deal on the brass jazz players from last episode.
I'm snorting about John's definitions of girls and badguys. The buddy vibe between John and D'Argo is AWESOME.
And now I'm totally rolling about JOHN'S PANTYHOSE. AWESOME.
God, I love Ben Browder more than is strictly holy.
And Pilot is being entertainingly long-suffering.
If that's not Fran I will eat my toes.
Heh, Chiana is the pretty one, Jool is the annoying one. Yup. Nice gymnastics from Jool, though, and Chiana just made someone pass out with a twirling routine.
Wow, planet of the gimps and sex slaves. In other fandoms, this would be the stuff of fanfiction only.
Ha, Fran maced D'Argo. HAAAAAAAA, love the dancing.
You know, the fact that Jool and Chiana have despised each other so much makes Chiana's low 'where's Jool?' very touching.
And Fran remains really entertaining.
Chi did a pretty fast about face from being really copacetic to being fairly violent. But whatever. Like that Pilot is just not taking any shit at the moment. No matter what trouble they get into.
Heh. Damn that man looks good in leather. What a great show.
And thus we end on a deep insight: Ben Browder has a very fine rear end that looks just *smashing* in leather pants, kaythanxsbye.

Re: just passing through
Date: 2007-03-30 09:03 pm (UTC)There is absolutely No Need to stop pic spamming my post. I will even venture to say, with a subject like this, you are Always Welcome to picspam absolutely anything of mine. Yes. I feel very safe making that statement.
Wow. Look how the light hits the curve of his bum. *appreciates*

Re: just passing through
Date: 2007-03-30 11:57 pm (UTC)I think I must add an ETA public service announcement to the post so that everyone can appreciate what you're doing here. *nods vehemently*
I think I must find a Butt Shot icon....
Re: just passing through
Date: 2007-03-31 12:26 am (UTC)I've got lots more, but no time to post right now. I'll stop by later with more *g*

Date: 2007-03-29 08:00 am (UTC)Yup, that's Fran. I read in the Farscape magazine that when she was in the make up Ben couldn't stand to be around her since she freaked him out. *snicker*
You may like this since it's from her panel at the 2003 Burbank Con:
Fran: On the set and in Australia, I was known as The Boss, I don't know why. It was great, it was a lot of fun.
He's amazing, he's just amazing. We did a scene in the bar where he's sucking his straw. "Honey, you going to do it like that?" "Yeah." "Okay..." It's wonderful the tapestry you have when you're working with him, because he knows the character so well. When you're on the set with him you're with John, not Ben. You have to respect his space, and I'm in love with this guy. That's why I watch the DVDs at night! And I miss those trousers, don't we miss those trousers?
She's adorable.

Date: 2007-03-30 05:22 pm (UTC)Truer words were never spoken. How fantastic that she's adorable! I mean, I should have known what with the fabulous comedic timing and interesting character work and fantastic accents and voices and stuff, but it's still wornderful.
I could so see Ben getting the willies from the makeup. Worked well, though, since Fran says they didn't act like Ben and Fran on set, they were characters, so that's convenient.

Date: 2007-03-29 08:19 pm (UTC)(And isn't the contrast between Talyn!John and Moya!John so brilliant?)
no subject
Date: 2007-03-30 05:31 pm (UTC)God yes. You know within half a second which John you are dealing with. I love the reasons too, that it grew into this, that it took several episodes and that they gave them the space to play. I love that Moya!John has this growing friendship with D'Argo that's just so wonderful, and I love watching the potential of John and Aeryn play out so fantastically, and I'm not thinking about how that clearly means they're DOOMED.
There was the one Vala ep with Vincini from the Princess Bride where Michael and Ben were in leathers and Michael was playing very uncomfortable with it and Ben was So Chill. I think that was possibly a nod to Farscape fans, but I really don't see why Mitchell couldn't have just worn those pants all the time after that. Though, they weren't quite as tailored as Crighton's pants. *muses on the subtle differences*
I really don't mind how willing he is to appear without his pants, either. You can get some really niiiiice moments then. *dreamy sigh*
For the record, I don't think I have ever fangrrled actors this hard before.

Date: 2007-03-30 05:34 pm (UTC)This is what I mean about the show going places only fanfiction writers have gone before. But, for the record, I more or less forgot about the plot at several points too.
Eleventy!!!!1!!yay!! I'm still surprised every time someone says they actually *read* these stream of consciousness posts, but I'm assuming that everyone knows the shows so well that I really don't need to clarify what I'm reacting to. Still, it's so cute. This fandom is so cute. And John and Aeryn are seeeexaaaaaayyyyyyy....

And use this icon. Do you see why we write so much porn for this

Damn that man looks good in leather.

Date: 2007-04-21 02:46 pm (UTC)I think it is the danger mixed with the delight that makes Scratch N Sniff so great. The story is about drugs and sex and yet the humor infuses it. I love this ep. (Oh and Ben said at a Con that the panty hose were held up by duct tape. That had to hurt!!!)
