Um. Watching Farscape when you're not entirely sober is AWESOME.
We start, after the last episode which I... didn't watch and can't remember... with John:
Having some trouble adjusting to life on Moya.
Because apparently having a maggot shoved into your mouth by a large, tentacle haired alien is just not something John did back on Earth.
I don't know- it's something I do every Sunday, like clockwork.
Silly John.
Then we see pretty things.
Which, on this show, rarely leads to puppies and daisies and happy things.
But it's okay, because Zhaan has lovely cheekbones.
Seriously, I spent most of this episode pausing the file whenever she came onscreen because... just. Blue. And pretty. Not even blindingly hot. Just... wow, I wish my head was that perfectly shaped.
Or something.
Anyway, back to the point-
John is learning the ouija board that is Moya's interface.
It's... really hard being John Crichton.
He uses his suffering as an opportunity to strip though, so no complaints there.
It could also be the plot making him do that.
But if you go my logic, it means he would be naked for about 85% of the show.
This is winning logic.
And then, before John can finish undressing, he finds there are Rodents Of Unusual Size in his room.
How much do I love that he jumps on the furniture as a first course of action. Like, fuck being manly and brave- there are HUGE FUCKING BUGS.
He kills one, more or less successfully.
(That's not a good position for prison.)
Meanwhile, we've got Aeryn getting hotter and hotter.
I'm loving that I get to say that and not sound pervy.
John is Concerned about her.
Which pulls all my heartstrings, in all sorts of warm and fuzzy ways.
D'Argo is...
Indefatigable, in his efforts.
Also holding a giant, phallic laser thing at his crotch.
Just in case that subtlety was lost on anyone.
Aeryn gets hotter.
And John gets beaten up by Bug!Zhaan and Bug!Aeryn, and is really just deeply perplexed as to WTF is going on.
But hey- two Aeryns:
Yay? Congratulation, I guess?
ANYWAY.
They figure out that the ROUS's can look JUST LIKE THEM, and decide that they need to have a distinguishing feature, to tell each other apart from the Bug Copies.
D'Argo is then responsible for one of my favorite moments of this episode when he states very firmly that, right- they should all cut off the tip of their pinky.
...
I mean. CLEARLY.
Not, you know. John's idea of spraying some orange paint on their hands.
Possibly also donning a funny hat, would have been acceptable.
Aeryn gets hotter.
And uh. This is just a cap I took by accident.
I know she's suffering and all, but HI.
Speaking of inappropriate things, John and D'Argo demonstrate for us once again:
That they really like pressing up against walls.
I don't know, D'Argo. Some fetishes should be kept to yourself.
Aeryn continues to get hotter:
And I have deep love for this tiny little scene.
"Perhaps the others could think of a way to help you," Pilot says.
"Why would the others care?" Aeryn scoffs, "My kind imprisoned them, I'm sure they haven't forgotten."
And Pilot just... nods. Because it's true. And while he is trying to make it less hot for Aeryn, he probably wouldn't blame anyone for not caring.
Oh, show. You make me so happy, with all your perfect little details.
John, meanwhile, encounters... himself.
Look! Two John Crichtons!
It's like, FORESHADOWING or something, man.
They fight, and you'd think I would have capped that, but it kind of happened really fast and I sort of got distracted by the two of them sweating all over each other.
Uh, here!
Have some Zhaan.
I just... she's really pretty.
On which note:
HI AERYN'S LEGS.
She's... not doing so well.
And John continues to be Concerned.
To which Aeryn has a totally positive reaction:
Heh.
Of course, it ONLY NOW occurs to any of them to put Aeryn IN THE SHOWER, where she has at least a chance of cooling off.
Good going there, guys.
Right, so they figure everything out with the bugs, and John stands up for himself, and everyone is well and good and happy.
Except the DRD's, who get stuck with clean up duty.
But such is their lot in life.
John goes to find Aeryn.
And they have an adorable little conversation wherein she admits that maybe he's not completely useless after all.
He proceeds to be a GIANT WOOBIE.
And this is an awful cap, but Aeryn smiles at him, and it's lovely and wonderful and YAY.
...
The end!
