"Prayer"

[Vertigo1]

HAH! Beat you all! :D

Anywho, discuss!

[moovok]

Wasn't AS good as I'd hoped, but it was okay. I liked how we discovered more about the Peacekeeper's religions, and how Aeryn would do anything to protect her baby, who we officially known is John's, cause I'm sure she hasn't said its definately his, until now.

The conversation with Scorpy and John. "I don't like how you do things" was classic Farscape, definately something good, and its great John knows where Aeryn is, its a shame she'll probably end her life before he gets to her, I do hope not.

Anyway, for UK people, Farscape's new episodes will be shown Monday & Tuesday, starting from Next Week! :)

[Mike]

Frell me dead! What a pace! There's some advantage to the arbitrary scheduling pattern of the BBC ;).

[Spiller]

yes, of course, if you miss one, you're doomed... :(

i actually liked that ep a lot, fantastic acting from claudia black! the beggining and ending scenes with her i thought were quite scary.
plus the sikozu/stark combination was good to watch...

[Mike]

STARK!!!! Damn spoiler! Don't worry, it was my fault for looking :(.

[moovok]

I miss Stark. I did think they were gonna find Stark in this reality, rather than in an alternative reality. That would have been great.

I miss Stark!

[Spiller]

eep, sorry mike, but yeah, your fault :p

i miss stark too, and call me dumb, but i just realised the other day he played one of the agents in the matrix.... :uhdrop: good actor :)

[moovok]

He did? WOW! Did not know that.

[Mike]

D'oh! I read the spoilers. I have no will power!

And yes, I actually recognized the actor in The Matrix before I was told. Granted, I didn't recognize Stark as the agent, but I recognized the agent as Stark ;).

[Arrghman]

I actually didn't believe it when I first heard it, so I went and watched the Matrix and just put my hand over half of the other agent's faces... yup ;)

[McC]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Damnit. I came in here looking for just general reactions, attempting my utmost to avoid reading anything resembling a spoiler, and still I read a spoiler. Damnit!

Ahhh hell. Well, it still looks like it'll be a good ep. And even though Zhaan's death was spoiled for me (well before I even started watching Scape at all, no less), it still had the same impact it would have otherwise, so...we'll see.

[Arrghman]

More please :eek:

[Captain Zefram Mann]

Bah! Why do I always fail to have a tape in the machine when the girl is tied up like Aeryn was at the beginning?

Anyway, great ep. John's crisis of concience was a good character moment. He coudn't bring himself to pull the trigger even though he knew they were already dead. Glad to see his obsession hasn't made him too insane... yet.

[Guinan]

NOOOOO John don't do it!!! Too late, he made pact with the devil, sealed with his own blood! :eek: Anyone else get chills when Scorpy made John taste his blood? We will see the outcome of such a pact later, I'm sure.

Great ep.! This is leading up to a big cliffhanger and we are going to have to wait two frelling years to see the end!!!!! :cry:

[Mike]

That was an emotionally powerful episode. I almost never 'react' to a TV, but this time I was screaming "don't do it!" with every other Farscape fan around the country.

This was a fantastic Aeryn episode, perhaps the best in the show's run. Claudia Black put every ounce of herself into this performance. Watching her fight her interrogators was a visceral experience, it was genuinely intense and moving. I don't think any of us can understand what a challenge it is to act like that while starring up at the ceiling and laying on a table.

I only hope that Aeryn and John meet up before the end. It's likely we'll never see a resolution and I don't want the cliffhanger to be unbarabe :(.

[Mike]

I do have a few unresolved question surrounding this episode. Exactly why does PsychoStark know all about "Katrazi" while she is helping to pass the dead over? I need some sort of reasoning for this, it's so 'off-track'.

[McC]

I didn't get a chance to post my comments last night, as I was...otherwise engaged immediately after the episode :D In any case, WOW. I don't think I've ever said "Oh god no" so many times in one episode before. The only one that might come as close is "Dog With Two Bones," since everything was crappy for John in that episode.

Mike: They explained it in the ep. When Siko/Stark is crossing people over, she can tap into previous beings she's crossed over (and possibly those that are already dead--I'm not sure about that one, though). So the first time, as she was crossing everyone over in preparation to be killed by Crichton before Crais came aboard, she simply happened across a Scarran (or perhaps there was more design to it than that?). John remembered that, so he went back and actually made her seek that Scarran out. Her...him...whatever :)

[Arrghman]

"Normal" Stark (if you can call him normal ;)) could do something similar too... he once told Zhaan that everytime he crossed someone over, part of that person became part of him.

So I just assumed that SikoStark had the same thing... s/he had once crossed over a Scarren, absorbed a little piece of him but s/he couldn't access it consciously... only when s/he was in the 'crossing people over' trance.

As a side note, I really liked seeing SikoStark again, I think she plays hir really well. I'm also enjoying using creative pronouns :D

[McC]

You and Peter David :D

[Spiller]

"i have to love the soul" which means that at some point that Sikozu/Stark person was in love with a scarren... :wtf:

[McC]

Not in love with, close friend to. Love doesn't mean you're romantically involved with someone. One generally loves their parents, but that doesn't mean they're in love with them.

Two years? HUH?

[Proximo]

It was interesting, but it left me feeling a little bit empty. This is probably because I know that the end is drawing near... still, despite everything it shows, I just didn't feel drawn in to it the way I'm drawn in to most episodes.

Scorpy is a bastard ain't he? :D

[Mike]

Ryan, I found the answer to my question on the 2nd viewing. I should know better than to ask questions after the initial viewing. Farscape makes more sense once piece have been layed infront of you rather than one at a time.

of course, i'm sorry :) it just seemed wacky that she would've loved a scarren, but i guess not all scarren's are evil... e.g. the scarren from "fractures". ok then... *walks away happily*

[Vertigo1]

Aside from Claudia's acting, I wasn't all that impressed with the episode. I guess I was expecting far too much from the episode, and we all know how high expectations are. :)

I give it a 7.

Check the spoiler forum for more detail on that.

[Mike]

Spoiler forum? I never installed a spoiler forum.

[Krystal]

This was a cool episode, I specially enjoy Scorpy and John's interaction. How both of them reacts to things, specially in the other Moya when they were trying to make Sikozu-Stark remember about Katrazi. All the thing about Aeryn's imprisonment was interesting. It was a good episode, I enjoy it. I give it a 9.

Krystal :rose:

Try reading forum descriptions more often Mike. ;)

Moya's sensors have detected some news and spoilers ahead. Investigate them here!

[Mike]

Oh, you're right. I just consider the forum a news forum, I've never had the opportunity to post spoilers there before. Farscape is a very tight show, there aren't many leaks like on Star Trek. It might have something to do with the isolation in Home Bush Australia.
