LATP, so, are they?

[Kurt_eh]

I was reading a post on another site where the poster thought they weren't compatible.

I always thought Aeryn's smile at the end suggested they were...

So, are they?

[JrMissToughChick]

Well Duh :D

[Kurt_eh]

Really had to force the point home, eh? :D :rollin:

I've often wondered how to do the old double-post thing...;)

Hey. What happened to the other one?

[JrMissToughChick]

LOL it was an oopps post :rollin:

[Kurt_eh]

:aok:

[canadadoc]

Kurt - I have not had time to reply to Naomi's fantastic post re LATP part 3 on Space - BUT as we all know the proof is in the pudding so to speak - Baby Crichton is on his/her way.

That aside I did wonder a bit during that scene the first time I saw it as to the results - but overall that last scene shows John looking like he just ate the canary - so it must have been sweet.

Someone had to find the beauty of Rygel!!:rollin:

[JrMissToughChick]

I can tell you who isn't compatible... Aeryn and Rygel.... Dargo and Chiana... many other Jirls from the planet and John... I could go on

[Kurt_eh]

The look on Aeryn's face after she tested Rygel was absolutely priceless! :hork: :D

[stellar]

I'm going with JRMTC... duh.

Yes, they're compatible. Remember John said "sweet" after they kissed. That apparently is a sign that two people are genetically compatible for having kids. So her smile told me that she was pleased to learn that she and Crichton were genetically compatible. :D

[Kurt_eh]

That's what I thought, but it's been a while since I saw it, and wanted to get a second opinion...

[Nicola]

Definitely sweet. I think Aeryn didn't smile right away because she is so insecure about her feelings. John didn't smile because he is far more concerned about Aeryn's reaction.

But at the end they both smiled.

Definitely sweet. :love2:

[norweigan_scaper]

the princess story is definately a great aeryn and john story despite very little contact between them for the most part of the episode.

This is, presumably, the begining of the payoff for all us Aeryn and John shippers

god bless black and browder, bringing us possibly the best and most compelling romance story to grace TV in a long time

[scrape_medic]

Lets turn this around......why would they smile if they were not compatible....
(circle one answer for each question)
(please use a pencil so that changes in your answer can be made easily)

Q1 ....cos they can't stand the sight of each other
a they never give each other longing looks
b they only like looking at each others eema
c duh!

Q2...because they can't stand physical contact
a they would never want to be touched by the others tongue
b they only like touching each other on the eema and no where else
c duh!

Q3...because they would never be in the least bit pleased with the idea of a (lurve) child
a they think the other is ugly, and would not want the same for their child
b they don't like doing any more than touching eemas
c duh!

well said! and soooo true.

i never thought id see another love story so deep after max and liz on roswell, but obviously i was wrong...rock on farscape, ben and claudia!

[Kurt_eh]

I thought the giveaway wasn't the smile, but the fact that they went back for more after the "test-touch."

If it were bitterly sour (cf. Aeryn/Rygel) why would they go back for more? :smooch:

[Chi27]

Thinking about this "taste test" and Aeryn's smile, would you say that the baby was an accident. Some people think Moya John is the baby's father and some think it's T John. Since both are equal, it really doesn't matter except that one was there at conception and the other wasn't. Back to the question -- wouldn't she have tried to prevent getting pregnant either as a result of her training as PK. Obviously, by the time they started doing the deed she (they knew) pregnancy possible, yet it seems neither one did anything to prevent one. That'is cool, imo, though some might call that irresponsible at least in earth terms.

:D

:D That's true but maybe she told TJohn about the PK birth controal she had ??? I assumed in AHR they probaly used somthing, well assuming that it wasn't all in there head in the first place

Maybe she didn't use anything in AHR, either, if she thought her physiology wasn't compatible with humans. Like others have said before, pregnancy doesn't always happen. She seemed really pleased to learn (something she didn't already know obviously) that she and John were compatible in that regard. Seems like she would've known already if she had gotten pregnant in AHR even with the whole stasis thing.

[JadedLegend3]

Hence the smile.

[JrMissToughChick]

she assumed they were simular in the Flax so I think she would assume they were then also

[Clarsax]

I think they're compatible. That little smile of John's when they kiss says it all.

That's what everyone on the planet did. They touched tongues and then kissed, otherwise it wouldn't have worked.

Watching these eps again the other day, it suddenly occured to me why it would even be important to Aeryn that she was compatable to John, unlike Chi/D'argo who were happy to settle for "in it for the fun".
When Aeryn stumbles in to the room where John is viewing what his baby would be like with Princess Katrala, she must have seen how important it was to John to be able have kids.
Hence the taste test, as part of her developing understanding of the kind of relationship John is used to/would want, so the smile is much more significant.

That's how I read her reaction, as well. She not only saw how much having kids meant to him, but got a glimpse at what kind of father he would be if he did have a child of his own. Only at that moment, she wasn't sure if her biology was compatible with his and hence the later "taste test". She was very happy to learn that she could give him a child one day. :)

We had quite the discussion of the Look at the Princess Triology on the Spacecast board when it recently aired.

The scene when Aeryn walks in on John and Katralla looking at the baby made it clear that Aeryn was suddenly realising what a future with John would be. And also realising that she wasn't going to be the one to share it with him. Aeryn looked shattered.

The thread is called "Daily Dren: Formerly Farscape Friday" and we discuss each episode after it has been aired, and a lot of people contributed real insights to the discussion of that trilogy. If you are interested here is the link.

http://community.spacecast.com//ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=005350;p=16

It is a good thread to participate in, and you are more than welcome to join the discussion. Mind you, we are now viewing Liars, Guns and Money. Part 3 plays today!

Well, one thing is for sure, whether one thinks a baby of J&A is doomed or not, the "taste test" forecasts that their child-to-be will be without any birth defects. At least they don't have to worry about that. Well...except for Aeryn's torture at the hands of the Scarren's could've (but didn't) have any affect on the baby.

[zahncrelnik]

John and Aeryn were made for each other.
They go together like coffee and cream, like pie and ice cream.
