Birthday!

A Very Happy Birthday to cindermom

Back situation improving... slowly. I'm deeply tired of convalescing.

But I'm watching lots of Farscape. At least there's that.

Farscape!

So the one good thing about all this confined-to-bed nonsense is that I've been able to give my full attention to the Farscape marathon which I've been trying to get through since... well, too long. Special thanks again to danceswithwords for the disc loans - dear, you've really made my down time bearable.

I'm getting a better feeling now for which parts of the series I caught the first time around and which ones I missed - I seem to have caught scattered bits of Seasons 1 and 2, almost none of S3, and all of S4. Not sure why the gaps, other than to guess that maybe at that time I was too caught up in BtVS to notice another show. But S3 is, of course, where the series really gets seriously plotty and super-expanded in terms of cast, so now at least I know why I was so confused when I came in as to what the hell the deal was with Crais and Talyn and why my memories of Zhaan were so dim. The way the opening narration changes in S3 really feels portentious to where the series was going at this point - "should I stay / protect my home... Earth is not prepared for the nightmares I've seen... but then you'll never know the wonders I've seen." Crichton at the crossroads.

A few things that have jumped out at me so far. (Spoilers, here and there, pretty much for the whole series): ( It's All About the Hybrids )
