Farscape is LOVE

Posted by | Posted in Geekery, Sci-Fi | Posted on 31-10-2008

If someone were to ask me right now what Farscape is about, I would say love. Or maybe more specifically: making out with aliens. It occured to me about halfway through the first season, after Crichton’s little fling with Gilina, a Peacekeeper from Aeryn’s past. If I remember correctly, and I DO for the record, because I’m awesome, Crichton soon after realizes that he has feelings for Aeryn. Regardless of this, he makes out with EVERYONE. In one episode, in fact, I’m pretty sure he even kisses D’argo. And makes a pass at Rygel. But mostly, Crichton kisses lots of aliens, sometimes directly in front of Aeryn (which, if you as me, probably does not help one bit), and he likes it.

He is also partially crazy. He screams a lot. But I guess that I would do that too, if I were lost in a distant part of space with strange aliens who sometimes screw me completely.

It applies to more than just Crichton, though, because there is a lot of love on Farscape. Crichton loves Aeryn, but he also loves D’argo, and Zhaan. Chianna, too, but in a different way. Chianna pretty much only loves Crichton and D’argo. Zhaan loves everyone, except maybe Rygel. Aeryn has a deep connection with Pilot because she has his DNA embedded in her own, and she has strong feelings of love for everyone else except for Rygel. Zhaan loves Stark. Pilot, Moya, and Zhaan have their own weird little love triangle, incited mostly by Zhaan’s singing.

And that’s that.

Welcome and stuff

I’m just writing this post to test out this theme and to get the ball rolling. Mostly I’m just going to put in filler text because I’m lazy like that, and currently have nothing geeky to say.
