Thanks to
ch1pper, I've just discovered and read TWoP's take on Farscape's "Human Reaction."
That's it. I am rewatching all of Farscape. Now. Or at least when I get home.
I've forgotten how frelling unbelievable it is. No TV show I've ever seen ever came within a mile of how perfect it was. Ever.
Favorite bit from the write-up: On the other hand, the only thing worse than seeing John at the absolute edge of losing it, as normal, is seeing him happy, because that's when you know the awful shit is really going to come down.
And
She smiles at John, because you don't feed the beast of John being crazy, ever, or else you get Season 3.
And
The thing with John and Aeryn is that he's the intuitive one, the dreamer, and she's the warrior, the hard one. She couldn't have figured this out any more than he could have been the one to escape and knock that first guard out. Without sacrificing John's masculinity, or Aeryn's femininity.
And
Ben Browder's that boring kind of hot that never stops being hot, but never stops being so obvious that you don't need to mention it; nevertheless, Crichton's most beautiful when he knows he's right, without a slip of doubt. God knows it happens rarely enough, due to him being a fuckup.

I miss Farscape.
