[Darth Buddha]

Another cool poll.

Great idea!

[Roland]

YES! The poll master has arrived! All bow down for master Buddah! :bowdown: Go for it Buddah, I need more polls... :)

[Eiley]

Dog with Two Bones. This was a real tear jerky. Of course Infinite Possiblities was sad as well, but it ended and I knew there was another Crichton out there. Dog with Two Bones had some amazing lines. Like when John kisses Aeryn towards the end.

J: What does that tast like?
A: Yesterday.
J: Oh, well, nobody can compete with that. I am so much better dead.

Ahh. I'm gonna get misty-eyed just thinking about it. Yesterday!How sad. Aeryn's being such a jerk at that moment. I was so angry with Aeryn. To be fare, I have to admit that John has had his fare share of rude moments toward Aeryn. I.E. in John Quixote at the end when Aeryn says something to him in the corridor, he pauses and then walks away without saying anything. Ahhh, so frustrating. Of course he had his reasons.

[Ancient]

My wife cries the most on the episodes where John II dies, Zhaan leaves, and the last episode of season 4.

My own vote for choked up throat would be the death of John II. The death scene and later hologrammatic message is very emotional.

[SabaceanBabe]

I had to vote for SIW when Zhaan is saying goodbye. Just rips your heart out. But, then, I haven't seen Dog with Two Bones yet, so I'd better just have a box of Kleenex with me, huh?

[gowarp9]

Dog With Two Bones-I just couldn't stop bawling!

[Dominar of Action]

None of the above -- it was actually LATP3, the scene at the end when John meets his daughter, and then has to say goodbye forever. ::sob:: :(

(Although IP:IA and DWTB are close seconds.)

You are sooo right!
(I did vote for Die Me, Diechotomy, still a tear jerker)
The scene was done without trying to be sappy, maybe that's why it worked so well.

"I love you Daddy."
"I love you too."
(Walks over to Princess Katralla's lover)
"You take care of my little girl."
Then he leaves....it's just so...sad......
:bawl:

[ConnieLyn]

I think The Locket heads the list and then all the rest follow. They all have Kleenex moments! :( :cry2:

[Clarsax]

So many choices!

Suns and Lovers
Different Destinations - not listed but it should be
Self Inflicted Wounds
Wait for the Wheel
Bad Timing

[ipimen]

well i remember crying my brains out in infinite posibilities, that scene where TJohn dies just rips my heart out every time. I also cried when Zhann left. Aeryn's Funeral in Die me, Dichotomy also made me shed lots of tears.

But i guess the winner is Bad timing, D'Argo crying "No" and the sight of that ring, and the "To be continued" combined with my anger and frustration knowing that this awesome show had been cancelled was just umbearable.

[scape_sister]

Don't forget his good bye to his Father on the moon!!! Argggg....I thought I was going to turn into a puddle...sniffling just thinking about it.

I have to agree. Watching John see his daughter, then have to leave was the most tear jerker episode I have seen so far. I haven't seen Dog with Two Bones yet, since my cable provider didn't start carrying SciFi until the very end of season three. Can't wait for each new set of DVD's!

Of the episodes I have seen and on the list, I would have to choose the Locket. The scene at the end, before they get out of the stellar mist cloud and Crichton opens the locket after Aeryn dies to see who her one and true life love was, and it is his picture, was well done. It was particularly touching since none of that reality would be remembered by either of them once they were safe and out of the stellar mist.

[godcha]

Voted Bad Timing but I can remember I felt also incredible sad in Die Me, Dichotomy.

[Harveylives]

Where's "Fractures"? That whole episode had me crying. I really lose it when Aeryn and John are fixing something and he says "Huey, Duey, and Louie. I'm traumatized every time I see that ep.

[grinner]

I have to say that there were so many episodes of FarScape that made me so incredibly sad that I really can't vote. I mean... Bad Timing was heartbreaking... but so was Dog with Two Bones... and Die Me Dichotomy. I can't think of one that was the most sad... so I will have to vote for Dog with Two Bones.

[B Sharp]

had the same problem- i wish the poll allowed multiple choice, so we could see everyone's top picks.... I ended up with Bad Timing, but it was a coin toss with DMD.

[vhsiv]

What about 'Terra Firma' and 'Bad Timing'? Those scenes with Jack - the real Jack - kick me in the ass every time...

[Beaulah]

I had to vote for The Locket.
When John and Aeryn are old and walking through the forest and they're laughing.....chokes me up every time!

I have to agree with Johnsgirl727 and Dominar of Action. That one line kills me every time.

Oh man, I'm sooo sorry! I should have added spolier space! Bad Beaulah! :headbang:

[trubador]

Well, of the choices listed I had to vote for InfiPoss. I'm a guy, and I'm not afraid to admit that I cried at the end of Part 2. Although, one ep NOT listed in the poll is Won't Get Fooled Again. Ever since I lost my Mom to a long illness last April, every time I watch that ep I just freak out on those scenes with his mom. Just knocks me out everytime.

[who45]

Spoilers















I had several episodes that made, and still make me cry so it was hard to choose. I would have to say Self-Inflicted Wounds when Zhan dies is so heart wrenching. Die Me Dichotomy had me really going, not to mention Bad Timing. There's so many!

[BlackThorn]

No contest -- Bad timing. I hadn't cried that hard for years. Sobbed so much I could barely see the last of the end. Then, I went to the bathroom, sat on the edge of the tub, and cried more. What a rush.

[Leah3]

Hey, what about "The Way We Weren't"?

I BAWLED my eyes out on that ep....


but if I had to choose from the list it would have been Bad Timing...

Gosh I miss this show (waaaaahh):(

Anyone got a tissue?

[PkTechSquirrel]

I'm a big crier anyway, so I've cried during all of the listed episodes and then some. (In ITLD-Wolf in Sheep's Clothing, when Crais says "Talyn, Starburst" I broke down). But Bad Timing...I was shaking, my husband held my hand...it was D'Argo's gut wrenching howl that killed me. When I rewatch that episode, I stop just before the end so that episode ends on my terms. In the words of Blind Melon "I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today."

I'm still angry as Hell over the cancellation of this show. Damn You Skiffy:whip:

[DRD1810]

I didn't vote in the poll because my choices weren't in it.

1) (Inf. Poss. 2) Icarus Abides - the one where TalynJohn dies. I thought I was gonna have trouble watching DMD 'cause Aeryn dies and she's my favorite character, but watching her face when he dies was just... OMG..... [DMD is actually one of my favorites and I think the whole funeral scene is very sad but beautiful.]

2) The Way We Weren't - I love this one because I love both Aeryn and Pilot. The scene toward the end where the two of them are 'making up' and crying gets me....

3) Bad Timing - I didn't cry, but the last 2 minutes are pretty tough to watch...

(BTW, at the very end of BT, where Chiana explains what the ring means, there is a moment where you can see D'Argo "get it". He has a wonderful look on his face - kind of "Thank God John finally got his head out of his eema." I would like a picture of this if anyone has it! Thanks!)

You are so right! I was crying so hard I had to take my glasses off cause the salty tears made the glass too cloudy and then I couldn't see the t.v. screen. I had to go across the room and sit right on the t.v. to see what was going on. I still get tore up just thinking about having to tell my dad bye and knowing my daddy would be crying just as much as Jack was!

*sniff* :cry2: :cry2: :cry2:

Same for me. My husband just kept telling me that it was okay and that John and Aeryn were okay. Argh! Even now when I watch Bad Timing and stop it at the very last second while everything is all perfect, I still burst into tears. Sobbing hysterical tears. I was crying for like hours after I saw it the first time. I've been permanently scarred. :bawl:



(*errr, edited to correct some of my bad spelling)

[SueDonym]

For some reason, despite the fact that I generally weep at the drop of the proverbial hat , I withheld tears while watching episodes of Farscape...or am blotting out their memory. :)

*blot, blot* *smudge, smudge*

I did, however, cry a river after cancellation while writing a thank-you note in response to Anth's announcement. Just thinking about having to say farewell and have the show end like that...

I miss Farscape. :(

Thankfully, the revolution was in full swing before I could cry me a sea. :D

Sorry, went OT.

The eps listed are all very powerful...powerful storytelling was/is what FarScape is about.

Which oddly makes me happy rather than sad.
Yay!

[ichinen]

I tell ya, it does not take much to "jerk" some tears from me. But as far as I am concerned the winner is The Locket hands down. Everybody else is going for second. I believe Dog with Two Bones is tonight, so I will see how it goes...again, but The Locket never fails to induce mass emotion.

[Justin-ATL]

woah, dog with two bones is on now and it's very hard to watch. :cry2:

[Sococlear]

I just got done watching dog with two bones and I am so moved, I have so many emotions running trough me. I can't believe that a frelling tv show is bringing to the verge of tears. I have not cried in years. The worst part is I have seen this ep already and i know what happens. The emotions i feel are a testament to the quality of the story and writing that farscape presented to us.

This show needs to continue.

[Eve11]

I can't believe no one has mentioned "The Choice." Of the episodes in the poll I cried the most at Infinite Possibilities II at the end. The things you miss the first time you watch -- John's so subtle little "hmm" as he's dying, right before he says his last words...

But the scene that kills me every every time is in "The Choice". After Aeryn talks to Cresus: "Well I came back from the dead, why can't he?"... she lies down on the bed and Ghost John visits her, asks her where it hurts, and they have the most beautiful, heart and gut-wrenching exchange:

"You can't bring me back, you know."

"They said there is someone... I've forgotten his name"

"No."

"No?"

"No."

"Was it easy to be the hero, leave me behind?"

"You never think you're gonna die. I didn't know."

"You did" (smiles) "You did..."

That scene makes me cry every frelling time.

[ichinen]

No tears for Dog with Two Bones, its still The Locket hands down. :trans:

[seattlescaper]

I so agree with you Eve11, The Choice is the episode where I was sobbing the most. I love that episode!

[blueassbitch]

'Self Inflicted Wounds' makes me cry the hardest because it's just so hard to see Zhann go(you know that there aren't two of her). That's not to say I didn't go through a whole box of Klenex in Icarus Abides. Oh these writers...

[Debrina]

Bad Timing

I haven't cried that hard since Anthony Edwards left ER...:(

[chip5541]

I cant remember the name of the episode but it was the one from my signature episode with Johns sick mom.

[Frag_You!]

Out of the choices on the poll, I definitely had to chose Infinite Possibilities; one of the two times I've cried watching farscape. I'm a guy (here comes the ego, folks), and most of the time I'm able to get through it with no problem.

But the episode that got me the most was the end to Terra Firma. I don't know if it's a guy thing, or what, but that scene between John and his father at the end...I just knew, I could absolutely tell, that there was no way John was coming home again from the way it was done. And I was just sad because I had this sinking feeling that something horrible was going to happen to John before he could get back. I KNEW, with certainty then, he would die. I must've cried for a half-hour. Don't know how I knew, but I could just tell when John walked away in slow-mo.

I tell you what, I hate being right all the time. I'm better at guessing the future than Chiana was in S3. :P

[trubador]

That would be Won't Get Fooled Again. See my post (above) re: the same ep/scenes.:cry2:

I know what you mean. That scene, and the second "goodbye" scene between John and Jack in Bad Timing (the call from the moon).:cry2:

[ScorpSik]

Without a doubt or hesitation it's 'Incubator'.... Breathtaking acting from Wayne, and so moving to see Scorpius'... emotional... side. *sigh* His expression in the final frame..........
*wells up at the merest thought*

[sparkyXVI]

Had to go with "Die me, Dichotomy". Aeryn's funeral scene is just perfect down to the last detail. Everytime I see the look on Chiana's face, it just hit's me straight in the gut.

A close second, oddly enough, is "I-yench, You-yench". The whole Tayln problem, Chi's mourning, and the look on Aeryn's face when John says, "Some things, you die for".

[Jeff O'Connor]

I voted Bad Timing, but not entirely for the most obvious reason.

It WAS the very last moment that made tears flow from my face, but not just because of the situation that everyone faced. Instead, because I had just gotten into FarScape some two weeks before Bad Timing aired, and I fell completely in love with it in that three weeks total... Then it was... Canceled!!? No ending!!? WHAT THE FRELL!!!???

Other than that, I have to admit, I cried during a great deal of the ones listed, including 'Self-Inflicted Wounds, Pt. II: Turn At The Wheel', 'Die Me Dichotomy' (ALOT), and 'Icarus Abides' (though I have to admit, not as much as maybe I should have- I kept the knowledge that the other Crichton was still around in my head.

[PKMalibuSkipper]

"fractures" and "the way we weren't."
"fractures" because it was one of the first ones i'd ever seen (part of it), and i didn't remember it being so wrenching because none of the characters mattered to me yet. when i rewatched it recently i just couldn't stop crying.
and "tww" because, in addition to still being one of my top 2 or 3 favorite episodes, i saw it not long after finding out about the cancellation and i was just enraged AND sad.
but having said that, just about all the other ones on the list make me cry one way or another. i'm a cryer.... all my emotions tend to come out that way. ;)

[Boron]

Self-Inflicted Wounds, for sure. I was physically upset when Zhaan died. I had already become so involved with these characters. Bad Timing was sad, but it just teed me off more than anything because of the way it ended. (To be Continued???)
Altho, I have to say that I believe that the decision to leave that hanger in there was a message that this series will be back....


:lizard: :zzz: :beer:

[scorpy808]

Bad Timing of course ... not just because of what was going on in that episode and the ending, but watching it knowing it would be a very long time before I got any "new" Farscape ...

Also Zhaan's demise ... that was rough. I really liked Zhaan. I've only watched the second part of SIF once.

Of course TJohn checking out was rough too. His last words ... god those writers were good.

Aeryn falling into the ice in DMD ... that was frelled. When I first saw that one all I could think of was "They couldn't possibly be really killing her off!!"

[Spedoinkel]

Why isn't The Choice or Different Destinations on the list?

I'd have to say The Choice.

[Dizzydoc]

Infinite Possibilities Part 2 Icarus Addis gets me every time. Even now, after seeing it four times, about half way through I start crying my eyes out in anticipation of the end and the effects it has on the rest of the show.

[Delphi]

Liars, Guns and Money Pt3
The end scean where D'Argo takes Jothi to meet John and John asks .. hmm .. begs D'Argo to kill him. *pulls out another box of man sized kleenx*

The others mentioned pulled the tears but that is the scean thats stayed in my mind the most

http://www.escapetofarscape.com

That is my choice too but I want to add the thing that always surprises me when rewatching the eps on DVD is how often I cry. When I last watched "My Three Crichtons" I had forgotten all about the last scene between John and Chiana in the ep and I saw it I started to cry.

Chris

[stellar]

I voted for Dog with Two Bones; however, the episode that made me cry the most is not listed, for what reason I cannot fathom: The Choice :cry2:

- Stellar

[twylaloo]

The ep that made me cry the most was Prayer (which was not a choice). With Aeryn trying so hard to keep the fact that it is John's child a secret, & john on the alternate Moya with Scorpy, the look on his face when skorpy shoots Chiana/Aeryn was heartwrenching. It was like killing Aeryn to save Aeryn. i cried like a baby!

[jfranka]

I have to go along with John's Girl.

"I love you Daddy."
"I love you too."
(Walks over to Princess Katralla's lover)
"You take care of my little girl."
Then he leaves....it's just so...sad......


I have to go with that one, too. That last line was the most powerful line in that trilogy.

Being a divorced Dad, and my only living son over an hour's drive away, I only see him once a week.

That line hits so close to home....

[somniac]

The Choice would have been mine if it had been on the list

[tesseract]

Of the ones on the list, I went with Die Me Dichotomy. Even though part of me knew that they wouldn't really kill off Aeryn, I still felt for the rest of the characters who thought she was dead. As for those not on the list, but suggested by others, I'd go with The Choice--one of the most affecting portrayals of grief that I've seen on TV.

[Scaper_S]

Though I voted for IP, just reading this has me choked up!

The ones which made me cry the most are:
=1st: IP 2
= 1st: The Locket
2nd: BT (D'Argo at the end just about sums it up)
=3rd: Die Me Dichotomy (even though I know Aeryn comes back!)
=3rd: LATP 3 (see above)
=3rd: DWTB
4th:The Choice
5th: Fractures (John - unrequited love)
6th: SIW 2 (Goodbye Zhaan)
7th: WGFA (the "it's cruel" bit with John's dying mother)

And I'm about to rewatch the Locket . Clearly I am a glutton for punishment!
:cry2: :cry2: :cry2: :cry2: :cry2:

[IY-SpaceMonkey]

Die Me, Dichotomy................in the UK we had to wait 6 months to find out if Aeryn was dead and another 3 to see it for ourselves! It's still Farscape's finest moment - it's the first TV series to give the viewer post traumatic stress disorder! :bawl:

[Selena1]

You forgot The Choice! That, for me, is my most memorable "bawl fest"...

[Judith]

Okay, I haven't seen all of season four (I'm watching it on Sundays, so I've seen up to A Prefect Murder), so I can't speak for the episodes I haven't seen. But it really bothered me that Family Ties wasn't on the list. That's my favorite episode and also the episode that makes me cry the most. I guess it was the fact that they were all at odds throughout all the first season, and they had just really started becoming friends and then they really have to face the idea of losing each other for the first time since they've all become really close. And then it's a cliffhanger, and...I might be wrong, but weren't they unsure of whether they were going to beable to continue the show at that point?

And Chiana makes them all dinner, and John's talk with Rygel, and D'argo talking to Aeryn about his son, and the music, and the end, when D'argo lets go of the ring, oh and John's message to his dad....all those parts make me cry.


My best friend has this quote pinned to her wall, and I don't remember exactly how it goes, but it's by Edith Hamilton and it's something about how true good isn't defined by defeating evil, but by fighting evil when it's certain that you'll be defeated. And Family Ties always makes me think of that quote.

But I voted for Infinate Possibilities, because that one made me cry too. The second part...Icarus Abides And it sucked, because I started watching it with my boyfriend, but he was sick, so he went to bed early, and I stayed up to watch it, and then there was the end and I was crying all by myself and I tried to hug the cat but he got mad....


But Family Ties should have been on there.



:kitty:

[Lindsay White]

Infinte Possibiliities: Icarus Abides
OUCH, that was heart-rending! Blind, fading John, and he's gone, frozen with his eyes wide open, SOB! Aeryn just spilling tears, shutting his eyes, crawling under the blanket to hold him one final time. SOB! I couldn't stop crying for some while. Never had this level of reaction to a drama before.
Also, I had worked up false hope, leaning on the first definition of
"abides." Everyone had been worried about one of the Johns dying. He surivived "Thanks for Sharing and Green Eyed Monster," maybe, somehow, he would "abide" indefininitely...
SOB!

[Delphi]

Just rewatched Bad Timing *sob*
*cry*
mutters ... damnit...
*SOBS*
where did i put the tissues??!!
*Proceeds to bawl her eyes out again*

[Delphi]

and why isn't there an "All of the above" option ???

[LT Garrix]

Definitely Self Inflicted Wounds. When I did a Zhaan and Stark video, I had to watch that ending over and over and over. It was a very hard vid to do.

[Halfbreeds4ever]

Just watched Bad Timing for the first time. *cries*

I love how infectiously happy John is, after hearing about the baby. And then that ending!

Kinda came out from nowhere, didn't it? The writers just love to torture us. And screw Scifi for never letting us see an ending!

That is so true.

[AyuRocks]

Into the Lion's Den p2.... I lost it with Crais.

Bad timing of course... that just hurt..

Ashley

[JrMissToughChick]

Bad Timing because it was so emotional and then well you know no spoillers right.

But also WSS: LB, and DWTB were very emotional eps.

I didn't cry during IP2 because I missed it the first time around and I knew he was dead before I saw it not only that but I had a feeling Sence GEM thay TJohn was going to Die. I almost cried in fractures when Aeryn walked right pased John. I didn't Cry when Aeryn Died because it's SciFi Right no one ever Dies. I thought she was going to be Cloned LOL. NOT.

Much Love,
~JrMTC~

[Farsight]

TV shows don't make me cry, but the call to dad in Bad Timing definitely came close...

If the poll were "Which scene made you curse so loud the police were nearly called?", THEN the end of Bad Timing would be my vote. :)

[recklesshumor]

I voted Suns and Lovers because it was soooooo depressing, but honestly, the biggest bawl-fest isn't on the list.

I think Scaper_S may have mentioned this one, but Won't Get Fooled Again has the most "erk!"-inducing scene ... when John faces his dying mother and sobbing, begs her not to do this to him .... Wow. Ben is amazing.

[buggabboo]

IP: IA

the second time at least. the first time, it was the first ep i'd watched and i was just confused as hell.

[waltersgirl]

Terra Firma

[UTChick]

Well, I chose BT, but several others are right up there. DWTB, IP-IA, LATP3, & John w/ his mother. They are all very good. Yes, I would prefer a multiple vote & not just one.

BT - because the grief isn't only for the characters & but for the show as well. It is real, not just for the story line.

[SaraD]

I can't even re-watch Dog with Two Bones, it is so painful. John's face when he is dancing with Aeryn/Noranti. It's truly gut wrenching. I read someplace that this is Fran's favorite episode.

On the other hand, while I absolutely adore the Princess trilogy, i would have to respectfully disagree with people who find the moment with his hologram daughter sad. It was the one ... false moment for me in the whole thing. It felt contrived and unreal and ... okay, i won't say the 'c' word. but it did. However, I do love the trilogy and I rewatch it regularly.

[SaraD]

amen to that.

[PicassosLaughing]

Farscape touches so many people in so many different ways it truly deserves a larger audience.

I also agree with the "Look at the Princess" ending scene. I cry every time, heck I'm cryin' now.

[JrMissToughChick]

I was wrong I cried sorta when I watched DMD today so I probaly did cry durring it when it first aired.

~JrMTC~

[Anni]

None of the above...I cried at ...Differant Destinations

[Madre Farbot]

There really isn't one ep for me that was the most tearful, they're were many moments that had their moments for me. Whilst I recognize most of the titles, I'm not altogether sure I can remember all their content.

Anyway, one of those moments that left me feeling sad and heavy-hearted was a scene in The Locket. That moment when John said "She's gone, Aeryns gone", or something to that effect. But of course there were many, many other moments like that.

[Otto the Mild]

Where is Look at the Princess? The scene in which Crichton says goodbye to his virtual-daughter was rather powerful, don't you think?

[millahnna]

WHy can't I vot efor DMD and Bad Timing both....grrrr.

[Athlantis]

I chose DMD, but there were that made me cry more but aren't on the poll, those are Relativity(it was so damn sad when John walked with Aeryn and they heard the shots just after Aeryn remembered when her mother visited her! sniff sniff), WGFA (When John is pleading to stop her dead mother from tormenting him! amazing performance!)...
FRELL I ust realized I cry so much more at DWTB (the whole garanty you won't die again...) than at DMD!!!!!! just pretend that DMD has one vote less and DWTB has one more!!

anyway ... THM (the conversation between Aeryn and Crais and when John is when Gillina when she dies, thank God she died btw, NOT that I don't like her character, but the implication of what would have happened if she had live gives me a woody!), TWWW (The whole take the journey with me, and Pilots stroking Aeryn's cheek, ah!!!!! to heartbreaking!!!) I could probably keep going on and on but that would require thinking, and I'm kinda tired! :D

[LT Garrix]

Re-reading this post, the one that gets me most is not listed here. It's because I've chosen a unique POV charcter. The part in I Yensch, You Yensch where Crais says "He's gone" and then turns away with that sorrowful look chokes me up every time. You finally realize at this moment that Crais is no longer the vengeful PK he was. You realize how much Talyn truly meant to him and that he was so much more than the ruthless PK commander.

On that note, the scene is ITLD:WISC where he answers John's "So where do we meet up?" with "We don't" also gets me. Oh, he's come so far, but I realize that some will never see the growth his character underwent. It's really amazing when you think about it.

I hate that episode because you go straight from that very somber moment to the frelling monkey men hooting and hollering. It totally kills the moment. I should do a phantom edit of that ep, taking them out. They are more annoying than JarJar.

[bubblez]

Do I have to pick _one_??

[scaperbuddy]

D'Argo crying in Bad Timing but the others had some tear jerkers in them too.

[MrX]

Dog With Two Bones was the only one to make me tear up for the longest time.

Until I saw The Locket for the first time the other day. For some reason, Aeryn's death in that one moved me more than any other time, including DMD and IP.

Still, DWTB is #1 on the "something in my eye" moments.

[JadedLegend3]

Evidently I voted in this poll but didn't reply...or else I missed my reply. I hate when I do that. I voted SIW, because of Stark when Zhaan leaves. I can't take that. I can't take the being left behind part.

Infinite Possibilities, Part 2

It gets me EVERY time. It doesn't matter how many times I watch it. The final scene is absolutely perfectly acted, written, and directed. Ben Browder and Claudia Black should have won Emmys for their perfomances in that scene.

[Fyodor]

Self Inflicted Wounds

We saw in Die Me Dichotomy that Ginny gives a really good speach... and that goodbye thing really got me misty-eyed.

I can think of only one other 'death' scenes that has effected me as much as this one did, and that is Wesley's 'death' scene in the Angel finale.

[Necron]

IP Part 2: Icarus Abides is the hardest episode to watch for me. "Dog with Two Bones" is a close second.

[PKTechDude]

I can think of only one other 'death' scenes that has effected me as much as this one did, and that is Wesley's 'death' scene in the Angel finale.
I agree. That scene was almost as well-done as the death scene in "Infinite Possibilities." Wesley was one of my all-time favorite Buffy/Angel characters and his death took me completely by surprise. Illyria changing into "Fred" for that scene made it that much more painful. I rarely cheer aloud during TV shows/movies but when Illyria shattered Cyvus Vail's skull, that was definitely a "HELL YEAH!" moment for me. :D

There is another scene (from Buffy) that hits me almost as hard as those two scenes, from the end of "Wild At Heart." Oz is leaving and Willow simply falls apart. I don't know how Seth Green held it together as well as he did. Alyson Hannigan was amazing in that scene, and it wasn't even a death scene. :eek:

I can't believe that she isn't a bigger 'star' than what she is. If I were a director... I would want to use her whenever I could.


Ah... Buffy/Angel and Scape... could there be anything better:D


maybe Doctor Who/Blake's 7/uh... could go on.

[PKTechDude]

I think that Ms. Hannigan is a very underrated actress. I can't believe that she isn't a bigger 'star' than what she is. If I were a director... I would want to use her whenever I could.

I couldn't agree more (my avatar is proof that I'm a huge fan ;) :D)! Sure she was pretty good in the American Pie movies but even there she was severely underused. She has great comedic timing, has a ton of on-screen charisma, has a very expressive face (only Claudia Black rivals her, IMO), etc. I could go on and on.

She did get the leading role in the theater version of "When Harry Met Sally" at West End but I'll be surprised if Hollywood even notices. :rolleyes:

My guess is that the reason she hasn't been noticed much outside of Buffy is that she has a very small frame and isn't your typical Hollywood actress (she can actually act!). Afterall, most recent movies don't seem to be all that interested in the acting ability of the actors but are much more interested in how they look onscreen. Of course, I think Alyson could deliver in spades (in both areas) but I digress. :(

Ah... Buffy/Angel and Scape... could there be anything better:D
Not in my book. :D

[Athlantis]

I can think of only one other 'death' scenes that has effected me as much as this one did, and that is Wesley's 'death' scene in the Angel finale.

Well if we are talking about Angel (aren't we going to be kicked out of this thread, cause it not out of their minds... anyway)

From Btvs, Jenny's death, the first time I watched it I did cry (even though at that time I was a X/C shipper), Anthony did an amazing performance in that ep, LW (heartbreaking end)
Angel: Hero (ah!!!!!!! sniff sniff!!!!!!) and YAW (the last five min of it were absolutely priceless)
I only saw two ep from season 5, so I really can't say anything about Wes' death

But some FS ep, well a LOT of fs ep, were more painful for me (painful sniff sniff, not painful God DALD!)

[grinner]

Yes, Miss Calander's death was a brilliant piece of work. Me being a huge fan of ASH, I have to agree that he was very believable.

[ljenab]

Of course, Bad Timing has its own sad magic because of events in our own frelled-up "real" world; but I just knew that that pile of dust couldn't be the end of John & Aeryn. D'Argo's cry at the end of BT still almost gets it my vote (for "in-show" reasons, rather than the whole cancellation fiasco); but Infinite Possibilities gets the nod (by a hair).

Claudia can get me misty in about .0005 seconds--you know, when her face goes all wrong . . . ah, it just rips your heart out. Like when Zhaan dies in SIW--the look on Aeryn's face is just incredible, when she's reaching for Zhaan. Blows me away.

[MacTech]

I'm your typical stoic, unemotional guy, with so much control of my emotions i may as well be a Vulcan, however, IP2 caused me to go slightly soft, not to the point of submitting to weak, soft emotions, mind you, but it tugged at my heartstrings a little....

BT made me *MAD*, hyper-rage mad, mad at skiffy, mad at Split-Level-Head, i could easily see myself nicking off in Lo'La and using the main cannon to vaporize split-level-head

on a side note, not related to FS, one movie that always gets me is the ending to The Iron Giant, who knew one word could say so much.....

SUUPPERRMANNN! <sniff>

[Chi27]

For me, it will always be TJ's death in IP-IA. It rips my heart out every time I watch it. It's not overly done and because of that it's so full of emotion. That scene also has new meaning because TJ's death due to massive radiation is taken from a real life scientists in Los Alamos, NM back in 1945 who was supposedly the first person to die of such a thing during the experiments with radioactive material at that time. Someone posted the link to bio on the guy which inspired the FS writers. Radiation sickness is just god awful when you read what happened to that guy and how he lingered for 26 days after the incident. Now, I'll never watch IP in the same way again. In fact, it's even more of a tear-jerker knowing that in a way TJ's quick death within a matter of a day was merciful because he didn't suffer a painful drawn out end the way the guy in 1945 did. The only thing equally as painful as watching TJ's death is seeing what his death did to Aeryn. :crying:

I'd say second runner up goes to DMD. I still can't forget the first time I watched it and saw Aeryn plunge through that ice and drown. OMG!

[PKTechDude]

I just wanted to add that Aeryn's death and funeral in "Die Me, Dichotomy" gets second place for making me cry/come close to crying the most. Aeryn's plunge into the ice is gut wretching and painful to watch especially Crichton couldn't control what he was doing. Her funeral was equally painful. The music is what really completed that scene though.

[JadedLegend3]

I was not sad at the end of BT. I'm not sad about it at all. I was shocked, but that's it.

[janey_13]

I watched Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda and Wait for the Wheel this Weekend and did I cry my eyes out! :cry:

I am curious about that, how many cried becuase it was sad, and how many becuase it was the last episode ever?

[PKTechDude]

I didn't cry at the end of "Bad Timing." I mostly felt anger at the people responsible for cancelling such a brilliant show.

[faustus]

the mini
well i'm thinking ahead

[Lindsay White]

"Infinie Possiilitiies: Icarus Abides" is the most gut-wrenching and tearful episode!
I foolishly thought that we'd be safe through part 2, because after all, doesn't 'abide' mean survive or live? Yes, but it can also mean sacrifice, SOB!

[Shannon]

Different Destinations was not even on the list!

OK- Ive not read all the post. I just wanted to say Different Destinations tore me up. I found this extened conversation/exposition/meditation on the difficulites of war and peace really got to me. Being a hero, doing what is right, how muddy all these things can be in the thick of a conflict. Whenever children get killed, I just go nuts. One could almost argue, Karmically, that Every member of Moya has lived and life and made negative decisions (through selfishness, greed, or hubris) that cost someone else dearly. A child who has no time to live and learn from her mistakes, that troubles me. Peolple dying and killing for what they believe is right and finding out they were wrong as others who depend on them die. I worked in Cancer research and I once asked a nurse, "How do medical personel deal with their mistakes when they cost other people's lives?" She stated that they are human and they go on. I have noticed that many MD's deny their responsability and the crap flows downhill onto the nurses or some other tech. Being a true leader is seeing ones mistake and owning it, even in these situations. There is nothing that has made me like the character of John more. Unlike captain Kirk, He sees where he has gone wrong, and their isn't always a magic fix. Old Kirk wouldn't even let a godlike alien tell him where his achillies was.

[Lonewolf89]

Farscape has some truely heartwrenching episodes, but I have to say I cried most during Dog With Two Bones. DMD and IP were close seconds, though.

[Col.Batguano]

lets try an easier poll - such as "what is the most painful".
1 sulfuric acid in the face
2 feet shredded by broken glass
3 arm pits set on fire
ect........... .

----spoilers----- ....

I voted for the locket - because (I'm a hopeless romantic - &) it is a romantic tale at the point in the story where John and Aeryn's relationship is questionable yet we get a glimpse into what could be but also what stands in the way, so that stuck with me the most.
but I also cried like a blithering idiot close to the end of bad timing when Aeryn said yes to John's marriage proposal.
but really how do you choose?

[encata]

Don't forget his good bye to his Father on the moon!!! Argggg....I thought I was going to turn into a puddle...sniffling just thinking about it.

I had forgoten that part I would have said Die me Dichotomy but that scene gives the crown to Bad Timing reading my quotes of it is enough to make me cry

[Athlantis]

Claudia can get me misty in about .0005 seconds--you know, when her face goes all wrong . . . ah, it just rips your heart out. Like when Zhaan dies in SIW--the look on Aeryn's face is just incredible, when she's reaching for Zhaan. Blows me away.

sniff sniff!!!! Aeryn's face in that ep (and in pretty much all the eps where she gets teary) is sooooo heartbreaking!!!

I am curious about that, how many cried becuase it was sad, and how many becuase it was the last episode ever?
I cried because it was the las ep ever!!!! though John and Jack's conversation was very sad too




...2. Zhaan's speech before she dies, "For the longest time I feared physical demise, because my spiritual essence was suspect, but now I know I'm worthy.

[jondbrien]

Alright, call me a hopeless sentimental softee, but I cried at the end of "Green eyed monster" when Aeryn was telling John-Tayln that he has ruined her life and yet she keeps coming back to him, and then he tells her that she is his constant. It's such a tender moment for them when they let thier guard down that i just loved it!

And BTW, where is "The Choice" in this poll. Aeryn was so alone and desperate in this ep. It was an over the top performance by Claudia Black!

[Craistine]

Hm, it´s not on the list (still wondering why not???), but I cried most at the end of Into the Lion's Den II. I couldn´t believe that Talyn and Crais had to die. :cry2:

So I voted for WWL II, ´cause it was the farewell of Jool. :(

[Lost Like Me]

Well I've finally finished watching S4 and can answer this question. DWTB wins hands down for me, with IP and The Choice tying for second. Honorable mention to D'Argo's breakdown at the end of BT. All my other favorite big tissue moments have already been mentioned.

The thing I love most about Farscape isn't the big tear jerker moments, but the small, subtle, well up moments that say so much without really trying. Sometimes it's just a look, or a gesture, or a simple sentence, but I feel the tears coming all the same. Here's a few off the top of my head:

Too many teary J/A moments to list. Let's just say nearly everytime they're on screen together, and leave it at that. Well, minus the few good times.

John sitting with D'Argo outside Moya - Suns & Lovers
- "I'm not going in without you D'Argo." I absolutely adore the John/D'Argo relationship. True brothers.

John slowly lowering his gun and just standing in the middle of a shootout with a nosebleed - LGM
- Spoke volumes without uttering a word

John, D'Argo, and Chiana's reaction to finally hearing from Pilot - Lava's...
- The sheer since of relief on their faces and knowing that they're finally going home. Chi just smiles and puts her head on D'Argo's shoulder. John is grinning, then gets this lost look on his face because he knows Aeryn won't be there (even though she is).

Chiana trying to reach out to John - Constellation of Doubt
- John is watching the tape and Chiana takes his hand. She knows he's hurting about Aeryn and doesn't know how to help, so she simply takes his hand. A tender moment of support from her.

The big moments speak for themselves and will never be forgotten. But I'm a sentimental baby who cries during Hallmark commercials, and I love the little moments. Ben is especially good at them, but the whole cast really shines at bringing these magic mini moments to life. To me, Farscape at it's best.

[Necron]

Farscape says more with no words than most shows do with 100 pages of dialogue.

[TalynLives]

Off-topic for a little bit. Wesley's death with Illyria as Fred standing over him, oh my God, that was so teary. And Jenny's death in BTVS as well.

Back to Farscape - DNA mad scientist when they cut off Pilot's arm - how could they be so cruel and Pilot so innocent and helpless.

The ending of the season when it looked like that was it - D'argo asphixiating in space, no way out for crichton either, aeryn likely to get shot down, talyn stolen and no "To Be Continued" in sight just the sight of the lucky charm Crichton received from his dad in episode one drifting off into the coldness of space. When I went back to watch Premiere I felt teary all over again watching his Dad give the bracelet to him and Crichtons melancholy speech into the tape recorder as he realised he was lost and would probably never see home again. Thank god they were picked up for a 2nd season or I'd be an emotional wreck to this day :)

Not that it stopped in Season 2 :) "The way we weren't" - Oh my god, how did they get such an emotional performance from a muppet :o I held out under the final moments almost begging for the episode to end when Pilot starts uttering "but I so desperately wanted to see the stars" and that's when it all came out :) The Locket was a little bit teary but they kind of erased those events so it wasn't too bad. "Die me dichtomy" was so powerful. I thought I was going to hold out all macho until Aeryn struggles up out of the water for a final breath before getting dragged back down again. Powerful stuff.

Season 3 - I must admit I was pretty cynical about Zhaan's death, didn't effect me and I felt the characters reactions were overacted. Infinite Possibilites: Icarus Abides on the other hand was amazing. I felt teary in a sentimental nostalgic sort of way in "Dog with two bones" - "Everything good I do with the rest of my life I owe it to you". "You'd better not forget, you'd better not ever forget that I love you". Beautiful, especially after all they went through together in that season.

Season 4 - no real tearjeckers. I felt disturbed and challenged by Aeryn's treatment in Prayer and "we're so screwed: part one" alright. I felt her recovery for the second part was a bit too quick though. She should have been more messed up after her ordeal. Maybe it was her soldier training or something. Bad Timing - okay I remained a macho cynical guy for that. Although that was because the "To be continued" made me mad and angry that I'd never find out what happened to them (though I will now :) ). I would probably have shed a few tears if I thought that they really died.

I think I might have to agree. I also think John's death scene is one of Claudia's finest performances in all of Farscape. Watch her hands, her body language. She's just absolutely amazing, and it's mostly her physical acting as John dies that provides the ultimate emotional punch in that scene.

The end of Dog With Two Bones, from the coin toss scene through the point where J&A part company outside Moya also has a high teary-eye quotient.

The coin toss scene itself may just be the perfect shippy scene to introduce that aspect of Farscape to someone new. It's very much self-contained, really needs little explanation except for Aeryn's "I watched you die" remark, and is filled with huge chunks of tension and emotion. I think both Claudia and Ben are at the top of their game in that scene. It also goes a long way in demonstrating that the emotion in Farscape is not manipulative, but arises from situations in the larger story arc. (If you'd like to read a scathing review faulting a film for being excessively manipulative, find a copy of Pauline Kael's review of The Sound of Music)

[The Keeper]

Die Me, Dichotomy ...no doubts about it.

The fact that what Rygel did at the end made me cry even more..

[kazbaby]

It's a toss up between The Locket and Bad Timing for me. I don't cry anymore over BT, but The Locket...I'm a sopping mess. It's when he looks inside after he tells her what he'd wanted to show her that does it to me every dang time.

[Athlantis]

same happened to me in GEM, that scene was very sad!!! sniff sniff
You are so right about TC!!! CB was incredible in that ep (well, I love her in all eps, but that ep was brilliant!)

...but I cried most at the end of Into the Lion's Den II. I couldn´t believe that Talyn and Crais had to die. :cry2:

Noooooooo!!!!, I was like 'don't die, don't die!' That ep emotionally was very very strong

Off-topic for a little bit. Wesley's death with Illyria as Fred standing over him, oh my God, that was so teary. And Jenny's death in BTVS as well...


Since I stopped watching Angel at the end season 4, I wouldn't know, but I did watch the ep before Fred died and I found it really sad sniff sniff. BTW, You're Welcome was so so so heartbreaking!!!! the last scene was wonderful (back to FS)

The ending of the season when it looked like that was it - D'argo asphixiating in space, no way out for crichton either, aeryn likely to get shot down, talyn stolen and no "To Be Continued" in sight just the sight of the lucky charm Crichton received from his dad in episode one drifting off into the coldness of space. ...
OMG, when D'argo lost the ring it was like 'God no!' not to mention the entire ep, when Chiana cooked for them, I love her in that scene; and Rygel saying they are not going to leave them, and John sending his "last" message to his dad and then Aeryn appearing and their conversation... I love that episode

Not that it stopped in Season 2 :) "The way we weren't" - Oh my god, how did they get such an emotional performance from a muppet :o I held out under the final moments almost begging for the episode to end when Pilot starts uttering "but I so desperately wanted to see the stars" and that's when it all came out :) ..."Die me dichtomy" was so powerful. I thought I was going to hold out all macho until Aeryn struggles up out of the water for a final breath before getting dragged back down again. Powerful stuff.

Pilot's expression was amazing in TWWW, all the anger and guilt, the puppeterians (is that how they are called?) did an amazing job and so did LT.

In DMD, the last word Aeryn said before she died was Crichton!!! sniff sniff, that was so sad, I got all teary in that scene, and John's eyes!!! but I remember all I could think of was 'stupid stupid! couldn't you just put the ship down and get Aeryn out of the ice??? was it too much to ask???!!!!' then it was like, 'of course, it's the writers who make that decisions

...Season 4 - no real tearjeckers. I felt disturbed and challenged by Aeryn's treatment in Prayer and "we're so screwed: part one" alright. I felt her recovery for the second part was a bit too quick though. She should have been more messed up after her ordeal. Maybe it was her soldier training or something...
I love Claudia in Prayer, her desperation was palpable (I'm using big words!!!)
after WSS, FA and then in the next ep, I thought exactly the same, 'wouldn't she supposed to be recovering after spending all tht time in the scarrans hands?', I think Aeryn's healing process was way too fast, but you are right, she is a soldier and a sebacian (is that how it spell?) so I really wouldn't know how fast they heal (remember THM?) so maybe it was just me

Word and word.
the last scene of IP 2 was ...I have no words, watching Aeryn and John's faces, John little speach before he dies (I did good things in my life... or something) really moved me and then Aeryn cuddling besides John, ahhhh sniff sniff one of the saddest moments ever. And before, Rygel's face when he told John 'they say it's not good' (or something like it) and Crais 'I hope you can belive me' (again, I don't remember his exact words). I love the performances in those scenes
And DWTB, that scenes is one of my fav of all times, their faces... such an emmy moment (stupid judges!)

Die Me, Dichotomy ...no doubts about it.

The fact that what Rygel did at the end made me cry even more..
My Dominar, Rygel gesture was precious, I never watched (I) him showing such affection before that, it was the moment where I stopped looking at him as a puppet and started to saw him as a character like any of the others (season 2 was the first I watched, this year I finished watching season one)

[scifinutter]

wow, how can I compete in size with your post, Athlantis!

I voted for IP. I was an emotional wreck. The final scene was absolutely perfected. I'd go as far as saying it's the best death scene I've ever seen (and probably will ever see). Ever.

DWTB cut me up very bad. The angst, the emotion, esh, it was angsty! I agree with what someone said earlier, it is an excellent scene to draw new Scapers with. I've often thought rather than showing one particular ep, it'd be interesting to show a few scenes (like the DWTB one, LATP3 ending, Meltdown) and catch the interest of someone in that manner. Course, those scenes don't have to be shippy. Just I'm shippy bias, is all.

[leeturnbull]

not on the list - The locket - loved that one, that made me think

[pkgrl]

To be perfectly honest, I cried the hardest at the end of Bad Timing. I thought that was it... no more FS! D'Argo's dispair was gut-wrentching, but combined with my own feeling of loss, I couldn't help by cry for quite some time.

But I voted for Infinate Possibilities because of them all, it's the one that continues to make me bawl. DMD, SIW, TL and several others make me cry still, but IP2 is the one that really kills me. Claudia Black deserves a frelling EMMY for that ep!

And Ben too. His work was superb. The two of them were magical in that two parter, from the walk down the hall on Talyn with the weapons when they touch briefly on the topic of going back to Earth together to the death of Harvey, to the race through the desert, John's realization that he was a dead man, Aeryn's horror at finding out, her angst not knowing if he'd survive the attack on the dreadnought, and, of course, that incredible death sequence.

IP2 was my pick too.

[supersonictrinity]

I cried the most, and every time for Zhaan's death in Self Inflicted Wounds.

[MotorWerk]

The Locket. That episode touched me.

[el-halo]

while slightly off the actual topic, the hardest portion of any of the farscape episodes for me to take was actually the introduction to Bad Timing, when they flash images from the previous 87 episodes and then JC voices over, "And finally, on Farscape." but i guess that was less about the characters and more about the overall picture :d

BT - due to reasons stated earlier - thought "well, that's it, no more, finito...And am I pissed!" My son was watching with me and watched me throw a '2-year-old out and out hissy'. I hollered at the TV and said a few words that if my 13 year old were to utter, the Ivory soap would be inserted FIRMLY into his mouth! I guess it was more out of frustration, since I'd seen most of the cast die & be resurrected at one time or another - or go through something horrendous and survive. As for flat out emotion, has to be when John's saying goodbye to his Dad & closing up the wormhole to Earth. I lived far away from both parents for so many years that it felt like separate universes for a long time. But I can get teary from any of the eps mentioned...

Wait for the Wheel--but its not in the poll

Bad Timing... the emotion and electricity between John and Aeryn makes that episode so amazing. The first time I saw Bad Timing I knew it wasn't the end because I knew about the mini (this was only 3 or 4 weeks ago), but it still made me tear up. The last 15 minutes or so, with John and Aeryn's relationship culminating to a proposal (and of course the info about Aeryn's pregnancy) made my heart stop. And then that ship comes down, right in between them, and they decide that if they're going to go, at least they're together, and they embrace, and then you hear the amazing music, and then that's it. All you're left with is Dargo's cries. Whether or not you saw this episode thinking it was the actual end, it makes you want to break down. It makes John and Aeryn official, and all they've been through worth it. As the description of the mini says, they have been chased throughout the galaxy and have fallen in love. And they are going to have a baby. I cried like a little blue b**ch.

it was a toss-up between Infinite Possibilities and Bad Timing, but I chose Infinite Possibilities because I cried for like 15 minutes after John died.....I mean, I dunno what I would do if my boyfriend died, I'd be lost, and I really felt for Aeryn....atleast in Bad Timing they went together...

[Milaya]

Of those it's Die me, dichotomy.But I cry everytime I even remeber Into the Lions Den pt 2.It's so sad when Crais and Talyn dies...

[Moya's Starburst]

The ep wher eAeryn is on the planet full of mediums can't remember the name off hand, but maybe later on i will lol!

The bit where she says goodbye for the last time to the deseased Crichton.

[Fyodor]

Whoa. That's an impressive bump... almost a year between posts.

Anyway, It took me quite some time to get what ep you were talking about, but it's The Choice

[ctheokas]

I have to agree with Moya's Starburst and say Choices. Not that I cried, but it was the most heart breaking of the eps. And it isn't even in the poll, which really surprises me.

[Natira]

Its definetly Infinite Possibilities. :( I was glad that I was alone.
Maybe after watching Dog with two Bones and everything after that it will change, but so far it is this episode.

[TheEeshew]

Zhaan's good-bye in "Self-Inflicted Wounds, Part 2"

I also sheded a tear or two in "Die Me, Dichotomy", "Season of Death" when Zhaan revives Aeryn, and in "Family Ties" when John speaks into his tape recorder for the last time.

[woolhoss]

I voted for Bad Timing not because I cried, but because at the end of it I just said to myself "Are you freaking serious they are ending the show like this??" Then I proceeded to break some stuff.....then the cops came....then they said something like you can't point guns at people.....then I went to jail. Oh well, they still shouldn't have ended the show like that!

[Grippy]

Only cried 3 times whilst watching farscape. I don't cry, period, so t'was significant.

1. Die Me Dichotomy -I wept. Bawled. Snorked and sniffled, it friggin killed me
2. Zhaan's death- I got teary
3. Won't get fooled again- as many have said, when John's mother shows up and he begs her to stop, go away. I lost my mom a long time ago and wow, that one hurts!

Great poll! :D

[John Skylark]

1) IP: IA
2) DWTB
3) DMD

This is AMAZING! The best series I have EVER seen! Thanks for every episode!

[Nutty_Angel]

Die Me, Dichotomy cos I really can't handle funerals, I don't cry much either so I was glad this was one of the ones I watched in my room when no-one was around.

[Milaya]

I watched it the first time with my parents and my bro.And I had a very bad fever...And much crap in my life.I had to fight for farscape.And the weather was against me...So crying was the only thing to do and my parents understood me.Still remembering it and the sensation that I was among the first one to watch it as it aired on new years eve.And my parents comments.That ep made my dad a Scorpius fanHe also likes the diagnosian because she reminds him of someone he knew back in his childhood...

[Nicola]

The funeral scene in DMD.
Zhaan's death.
TalynJohn's death in Infinite Possiblities: IA
The entire episode of "The Choice"
Talyn's death in IYYY
and D'Argo's scream in Bad Timing.

Season 3 was a killer.

[njak]

While I can't bear it when TalynJohn dies - I almost can't watch it, even in music videos, I had to vote for Bad Timing. I think I cried through most of it just because I *knew* it was the last episode, plus the scene on the moon, the scene at the end and FRELLING D'Argo's SCREAM!!!! It was just so touching when Chiana could not see what was going on and Rygel and D'Argo had to be her eyes. I think the way they had to tell her what was happening made it even more tragic.

And then my rage at SciFi was mixed with my sorrow plus the fact that we were at my mother-in-laws and we were watching the midnight showing and my kids were on the floor asleep behind me and I could not be loud at all. I could only channel all my emotions into tears.

I think I've only see Bad Timing once since then. I just can't bring myself to watch it again.

[SpaceSlut]

all/i'm overly sensitive.

[Remloh]

I just watched infinite possibilities 1 and 2, and I must admit that this was the first thing ever shown on TV that made me cry, including movies.

[AerialPuma]

There were many moments that made me tear-up! But when John, watched Aeryn fall into that icy lake and then cut a lock of her hair as she lay in the coffin--his dispair was almost unbearable.

[AuroraLamia]

OH god I cry in all the shippy death moments, it just grabs me! bloody hell I cried today when I watched Don't Give up a Lithiumdoll Video X.X I am TOO emotional

of the series, not on the above poll list:


Wait for the Wheel ("I - already miss her." - Pilot)

and

Into the Lion's Den --I have to admit there was a tear in my eye when I realized that Crais was going to make the ultimate sacrifice, that he had changed.

and of course

Bad Timing

[PKBraca]

Into the Lion's Den --I have to admit there was a tear in my eye when I realized that Crais was going to make the ultimate sacrifice, that he had changed.

I was going to say this one too (well not cry but you get the idea). But any characters death moments make me floofy especially Zahn because she had always reminder me of my mentor and friend at work who passed away too young not long before I saw that episode. That one is the only one that really tore at me.

[Torxan]

"Infinite Possibilities part 2" when John dies :( and and Aeryn's flashbacks in "The Choice" :( really sad

[Max628]

Well I am in the military, male, and pushing fifty, but when Aeryn climbed in to the bed with the dead John, my eyes welled up, a few times in the episode right after that where she is on the planet missing him, they teared up a couple of times, and when John said goodbye to his father they teared up. There are a few other times, but those are the most prominent.

[TheEeshew]

That would be "Self Inflicted Wounds, Part 2", which IS up there... :innocent:

[Nicola]

You are both right!

Self Inflicted Wounds, Part 2: Wait for the Wheel.

*sniffle* That one made me cry too...
