It feels different because of her approach, but I like her perspective and do feel it will be unfortuate not to have her voice going forward in the series.SFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256589316922398158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031498593064294214.post-69126190460882702072011-12-01T08:37:04.668-05:002011-12-01T08:37:04.668-05:00Hey Todd
I think you and I are looking at this on...Hey Todd<br /><br />I think you and I are looking at this one fairly. Fans of any series sometimes tend to what I would refer to as overgrade.<br /><br />Those rose-colored glasses tend to cloud judgment for the reality of a show's qualities. OF course, these things are subjective and no two opinions are necessarily the same to be sure, but I don't see how this one would get 10 DRDs. : ) I loved your comment though.<br /><br />To be fair, there are some interesting things going on and the episode heavy female-injected tone does foreshadow events to come. But all of the foreshadowing aside, we probably need to look at an episode on its own merits too and I think this is a GOOD episode with a number of fine elements.<br /><br />TOuching on a few of your earlier points my friend I will say this, I've been watching Season Two and apart from the season opener and THE WAY WE WEREN'T I am not fully on baord with the rhythms of that season despite its unconventional approach to many things. I'm only at the midway point, but Season Two has not been as strong for me as Season One was. So your point is an interesting and valid one. I look forward to seeing where this goes.<br /><br />But again, this is why I specifically underscore my affection for the series solely on Season One in the first paragraph. Beyond that, it's all to be determined.<br /><br />Cheers for stopping.<br />sffSFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256589316922398158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031498593064294214.post-60386354228311135322011-12-01T07:26:02.420-05:002011-12-01T07:26:02.420-05:00I've been watching/re-watching Farscape lately...I've been watching/re-watching Farscape lately too. I'm up to early season 3. I don't think I'm warming up to Farscape as deeply or as quickly as many people do.<br /><br />I do appreciate the premise, the alien-ness of the characters, and the production value, even if I don't always like the plotlines of individual episodes. Plus, I feel they did hit their stride in late season 2.<br /><br />As for this episode, I don't remember being crazy about it, mostly because of the awkward hallucinations of D'Argo. But, it wasn't bad either. If I had graded episodes as I went along, I probably would have given this episode a "B" too, maybe a "B-".<br /><br />The ScapeCast podcast recently reviewed this episode as well. They ranked it high because of it having so much foreshadowing and setup for future storylines. I caught some of their references; others may not have been realized yet. One of the four hosts even gave the episode 10 out of 10 DRDs. Among the four, the average score was 8.75 DRDs.Todd W in NChttp://umberhaven.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
