Quote of the Day: Farscape
I'm really fighting the urge to do a Farscape rewatch....
This is from "A Constellation of Doubt" (4.17):
Bobby: Whatcha doing?
Noranti: Making rat poison.
Bobby: Are you gonna kill a few?
Noranti: On the contrary, the rats asked me to make this so they could kill some humans.

Quote of the Day: Tumblr
Seen here. I think this is a reasonably accurate depiction of being a Farscape fan:
person #1: Is anyone here in the Farscape fandom? I’m on episode 6 and I love it. Gosh, why didn’t I watch this when I was younger. It’s like an older version of Defiance mixed with a little bit of Doctor Who. It’s so good! Not sure if I ship Crichton and Aeryn yet, but it’s growing on me.
person #2: Oh... oh darling...
You will definitely be shipping Crichton and Aeryn soon. And then it’s gonna hurt.
Here’s the thing about Farscape...it rips your heart out of your chest, steps on it, throws it into a blender, makes it into a smoothie, and then force-feeds that smoothie down your throat. By the end of the series your heart is back in your body but it’s not the same as it was before. That’s how I describe Farscape.
We’re here for you. It’ll get better, and then it’ll get worse, and then better, and then so much worse, and then better, and the next thing you know you’ll have watched all four seasons and The Peacekeeper Wars.
person #3: OMG. What she said. No one can prepare you for what you’re about to experience, but I PROMISE YOU, it is SO. WORTH. IT.
person #4: Yea. That. I once described it as the show that took my heart, tore it out, munched it up and shoved it back in my chest and told me everything was okay. Bastard. I love you.
person #5: What they said. Farscape is a show about pain and heartache and fear and desperation and sadness and did I mention pain? But you’re gonna love it with all your heart. (It’s also a show about leather pants and Crichton’s butt and sexy aliens making out and it’s beautiful and insane and your life is better and more complete once you’ve experienced this crazy, lovable show.)
person #6: Yes, yes and yes. All the comments before mine are right on point.
ESPECIALLY ALL THE LEATHER CLOTHES.
Ok, not really. But all the "pain in your heart that you almost can’t handle, until you do and then they give you so much joy again to throw you for a loop and killing you with feelings??" That’s Farscape.
Welcome to a wonderful ride.
person #7: ALL OF THE ABOVE. Farscape is such a heart-rippingly beautiful joyride of a show, and the characters and their journeys and choices and changes will stay with you FOREVER. I’ve been rewatching Farscape every year for almost ten years now, and it never fails to thrill me and confuse me and make me fall in love all over again. That’s what watching it is like. Falling in love. With all the pain and wonder that entails.

Tough Noogies!

Quote of the Day: Farscape
From the incredibly surreal episode "Won't Get Fooled Again" (2.15), when Crichton basically spends the entire episode hallucinating:
Officer "Crais": You have the right to the remains of a silent attorney. If you cannot afford one, tough noogies! You can make one phone call. I recommend Trixie 976-555-LOVE. Do you understand these rights as I have explained them to you? Well, do you, punk?
Crichton: No.
Officer "Crais": Then I can't arrest you!

Day 30
Question 30: Convince all your readers to watch Farscape!
I wouldn't say that it's the best show in the history of television, but I think it was the best show in the history of television for me. It was if the television gods said, "Let's make a TV show just for Maggie. It will need to be a scifi show with lots of aliens and amazing world-building. But it needs to have drama, too. Beautiful, heart-breaking drama. It can't just be action all the time. But it needs some action! Some totally bad-ass moments and incredible space battles. And there should be an epic romance between two fully-formed, adult characters. And to top it all off, it needs to be funny. Jokes, pop culture references, surreal situations, and more! And that will be a television show she will love forever."

Day 29
Question 29: If you could choose to be any race, what would you be?
I'm assuming they mean other than human!
That's an interesting question. None of the alien species are portrayed especially well. Maybe a Sebacean from a non-Peacekeeper world?

Question 28: The character you are most like personality-wise.
I'm racking my brain, and I can't really think of a good answer.
How about this: I wish I were like Aeryn. Strong and brave and badass.

Question 27: If you could kill one character to bring back another, who would you kill and who would you bring back? Why?
Bring back Zhaan, for sure. Original character that I wished stayed longer.
Get rid of... Grayza, I guess?

Question 22: Would you prefer to live on Moya or Talyn? Why?
Let's see...
Moya = mature ship, a few crazy moments when pregnant, but otherwise pretty mellow
Talyn = crazy, immature, crazy, whack-a-doodle, and crazy
I pick Moya.

Question 16: Favorite Aeryn moment?
In "The Hidden Memory" (1.21), Aeryn confronts Crais, who had kicked her out of the Peacekeepers for the "crime" of sharing a jail cell with Crichton for a few hours:
"You destroyed everything. I lost everything because of you. And you know what I learned while I was away from you? Everything I lost isn't worth a damn. And I don't want to go back."
