schneefinkSeason 3 didn't start very strong, imo, but I watched the first eight now and they get better and better :)
Suns and Lovers: I watched it a few weeks ago and I don't remember much, so it probably wasn't anything special, but I don't remember it being bad either.
Could'a, Should'a, Would'a: Whee, crew interaction! D'Argo & Aeryn, D'Argo and Chiana - where did Jothee disappear to again? Jool seems mostly useless and annoying here. A lot of set-up at once.
Wait for the Wheel: Of course Zhaan makes the noble sacrifice *rolls eyes* I don't like how they emphasized the wise priest aspect of her after season 1. John, stop thinking you are so damn smart. Still not convinced by Stark. I liked Rygel here, I wish they'd stop wildly varying how loyal he is to the crew.
Different Destinations: Why is Jool still with them? They have to visit planets occasionally, why don't they just drop her off? She doesn't particularly want to be here. The time travel "logic" made no sense, but I liked that everything didn't work out perfectly in the end despite John being so convinced of his plans.
Eat Me: This was the first time I liked Jool. I'm still not sure why she's with them, but she's obviously scared out of her mind (tries to kill herself, even), not surprising when faced with crazy zombies.
Chiana! All the hugs. Of course she has to tell herself that it was just a clone, otherwise she let the bad guy kill herself, poor girl.
Literal AMD'ArgoDI, huh? Half played for laughs, half as actual distress, at least something, even though it made no sense.
As soon as the bad guy showed what he could do (who needs physics anyway) I was sure we were going to have two Crichtons. The ending with rock-paper-scissors was nice.
Thanks for Sharing: The episode that decided that yes, I'm definitely going to finish watching this season. Yes, one of the clones is probably going to die, but in the meantime we get to see Aeryn telling them to get their shit together (why couldn't we have two Aeryns.) Crais! Talyn! Finally! I'm so glad they're back. Crais finally found out that Aeryn is alive, yay. I wonder what's up with that strange monster. And we might finally have something resembling a plot again (the Peacekeepers hunting Talyn), nice.
Green Eyed Monster: Crais, you are my favorite. (That's a lie, my favorite is Aeryn, but close.) I was briefly very surprised and disappointed at the idea that he might have taken Aeryn up on her desperate offer of "anything" back then, but fortunately that was just a trick. I like that Talyn is obviously influenced by Crais: high regard for Aeryn, sneaky and violent and petty i.e. what Crais is trying to overcome but Talyn is younger and more impulsive, and since Talyn can now control Crais... I really love Crais&Aeryn together, and Aeryn accepting the link and Crais teaching her how to use it was great.
John, you are occasionally a terrible being. And Aeryn knows it ("you're a plague. you ruined my life."), and yet there's something about you that makes everyone put up with you somehow, and even the cheesy kiss on the star background bearable.
The Budong is a cool monster.
