Farscape 2.5 The Way We Weren't

Aeryn <3 *hugs her*
That was some good acting. Aeryn was so... *hugs her again* That scene where she fought until her hands were bleeding and then broke down crying *blinks fast*
I didn't know flying meant that much to her. (There have to be Aeryn Sun&John Sheppard friendship stories out there.) Being on Moya probably just isn't the same. But here she has other things.
But yes, she was a Peacekeeper, what did the others think she did? (Nice call-back to Zhaan and D'Argo cutting off Pilot's arm, btw.)

Aeryn and Crais! Interesting.
Now it makes sense that Peacekeepers installed a device to prevent a Peacekeeper project. So it was Crais' project all along.

Moya! They killed her old Pilot :( And Pilot *hugs him* So typical for him that he's far more enraged by anything happening to Moya than by anything happening to him. Pilot was rebellious when he was young and even made deals with Peacekeepers, defying his elders. Interesting.
Aeryn saying that she and Pilot are closer than anyone else on the ship, awww. They even share DNA! And they're both willing and offering to die for their past crimes because they blame themselves, and then they hug stroke each other's cheek and cry and asdfasdfgf

Aeryn said she was on "hundreds" of Leviathans, are they all enslaved? What about the Pilots? :(

The way they portray Crichton is that he's calm in a crisis (personal or physical), but otherwise often impatient and/or crazy. I like it. (Otoh, in 2.4 he was affected by crazy waves, and it was lampshaded in 2.3 so there might be more to it.) I love how he's there for Aeryn.

I'm looking forward to more about Peacekeeper society. Especially since they apparently don't even know the concept of sexism (see 1.11) - I want more female Peacekeeper Commanders! And in my head, Talyn is considered male because he can't give birth (because otherwise why would spaceships need a gender?)
I also want awesome!Zhaan back, she didn't get much to do in the last few episodes.

I think you're hitting the point where the makeup was making Zhaan's actress ill, so you won't see as much of her as you used to. I think. I know they had to shift some to accommodate that, I don't remember if it was costuming her differently or just giving her less screen time. :/

Still, she really is the awesomest, isn't she?

[schneefink]

Oh no :(
She was great in season 1, but so far I don't love her as much in season 2. Otoh it's only been five episodes, so hopefully it'll get better :)

OH GOD, THIS EPISODE, HEARTBREAKING. I love that this show is like: "so you've changed, supposedly, let's see how you deal with your past. *is devastating.*"

I totally friend-ship Pilot/Aeryn. They are my favs.

Pilot&Aeryn are so great together <3
The scene where he tells her (paraphrased) "and now, after all you've done, you come here without remorse" and meanwhile Aeryn is full of remorse and shame and regrets, asdfgfghl so many feelings.

I love Aeryn, she is such a complex, fascinating character. And definitely someone you would both love to get to know (and be terrified of) :)

I love Aeryn as a character, but I'm not sure about the "love to get to know" - but definitely "be terrified of"!

[tari-roo.livejournal.com]

Well... get to know from a distance while hiding behind Crichton ;)

[schneefink.livejournal.com]

Oh no. Around Crichton is where the crazy starts. *g*
