Ok so I'm living in this new place...and my roommate..she's a big fan of the show. I've caught one episode in all the years it's on and I wasn't impressed..and I'm a scifi fan..but I'm picky.
Then my roommate talks about it off and on for a month.
She has the whole first season on DVD in a box set. So one day I'm bored and ask if I could watch the Premiere episode. She agrees and puts it in.
OH MAN! I'm hooked.
Since then we've watched the entire first season, all the second season (with the exception of "A Clockwork Nebari" since she doesn't have that ep on tape) and the season opener to the third season. Most of these watched in marathon sessions of 3 to 5 episodes at a time. It's a great show!
The characters are fantastic..what I find is that it is a largely character driven show as opposed to plot driven. Don't get me wrong the plots are great, but the characters are what makes it shine to me.
Crichton....he's funny, smart, and so full of pop culture references, it's impossible to keep a running count.
Zhaan....sensual, sensitive, and blue...nuff said.
D'argo....Tough as a klingon but with a great sense of humor.
Pilot....the man. For a puppet...he's amazing in eye movement and emoting various feelings.
Rygel.....You love to hate him.
Chiana......her walk slays me.
Stark.......insane but loveable.
and of course Aeryn......my favorite. I'd like to propose marriage to Claudia Black.
A strong female lead but in no way a stereotype.
She knocks me out every time she's on screen.
Especially in the season two threeparter and finale...the assault on the Shadow Bank.
