....Baby.

I dunno if this has been posted so sorry if it has!! :)

Has anyone heard if she has the baby in the mini, or if we see it go up a little???

[faustus]

no Idea but I'd expect they should have it.

[SabaceanBabe]

If you check out some of the pics on www.farscapeworld.com, you'll see at least a couple with a visibly pregnant Aeryn in them.

[faustus]

yeah but how would the show it?

[DamonAO]

Has anyone given any thoughts to John and Aeryn's baby being an Uber-Baby, Superhuman(Sebacean).

John has been transformed by his confrontation with wormhole aliens. So much so that the scarens believe they can extract information about wormhole technology from the baby's DNA.

Both John and Pilot have an awareness of wormholes that others do not. Pilot can see them before they are visible to others and John can "Sort of smell 'em".

Aeryns DNA has been manipulated and now contains some of Pilots (DMS).

All of this could be leading to a story specificaly around the protection of the child as the forces that be attempt to harness the baby's powers for their own ends.

[Jeff O'Connor]

I had contemplated that, myself. It could be an interesting story, and naturally, could easily continue on into a movie, further miniseries, spinoff, fifth season, or whatever. Unless, of course, dare I say it, the "blowing up the universe" gig is something along the lines of superbaby's self-sacrifice.

That is a little too uncomfortable a thought. The deaths of children are rarely meaningful and I kind of doubt the people responsible for the show would wan't to do that.

Anyway, they have already done the sacrifice of the child thing with Talyn. That was much easier to handle because the development of his personality was through Crais (Aeryn, etc.) and sketchy , he was a violent rogue, and he was not anthropomorphic.

That's true. And I completely agree with you. But as much as I would hate to see it, things like that happen every day. I'm not suggesting it's a good thing for the writers to have done. I'm just bringing it up as a possibility.

[faustus]

Jeff that is a scary thought

*Spoiler*




If you look at the new TV Guide photos for the mini, it shows Rigel

[padmeskywalker]

*spoiler* possibly...





























































If you look at the new TV Guide photos for the mini, it shows Rigel pregnant, and says Rigel somehow ends up w/ Aeryn's baby....

strange I'm just curious as to how it got there

All the Dominar's stomachs and all of his maybes.
Put crystals into him that would've been babies.

[I-am-so-Johns-girl]

What is the "baby" is "twins"? :eek:
They could be fostered out to keep them safe (think Romulus & Remus) (Luke & Laya) and return to rule the universe in peace. Just kidding! :duck: :lol

Girlie :curtsey:

D'Argo and Chiana's son will fall for one of the twins, that little runt.

Oh wait, they're genetically incompatible, nevermind. :D

I doubt that would stop them trying ;)

[skchwojko]

I just hope Rygel isn't the one to actually birth the baby. I'm not sure that would be physiologically possible. Didn't he tell Zhann in season 1 he's not a "body breeder".
Not that I wish pain on anyone, especially Aeryn, but I think that should be her experience to be proud of - to bring her own child into the world.

Jeff! You're a frelling poet! Who knew? Okay, here's my two cents on the baby issue: labor and delivery being a somewhat dramatic event on its own, I can't imagine that they won't use it somewhere in there. You know, Aeryn goes into labor in the middle of a battle, or John's several planets away and has to wormhole it back in a hurry, or there's a problem and Noranti has to concoct a remedy under fire, or any number of other highly dramatic situations. Plus, there's the whole emotional deal that goes along with it. Knowing how those guys work, I don't think there's a chance in Hezmana that they'll waste the opportunity.

[Chi27]

I agree. I don't think they'll waste the opportunity to show the drama of their baby's birth. After all, supposedly they had been trying to stay out of that war and all they wanted to do was settle somewhere and have their baby. So I think somewhere in the mini Aeryn is going to go into labor. The drama of that alone is pure gold, imo.

I agree with what someone said about labor and bringing her baby into the world should be Aeryn's experience. It's just too weird if Rygel or anyone else had the baby and not Aeryn. It's an experience that only Aeryn and John should share together.

[Doc Holiday]

I concur also. Expect her togo into labo and some dren hit the fan.

[mjwillia]

I am speculating two things:

1. The Scarrens get their hands on Aeryn and Rygel and put the fetus in Rygel to incubate. They could/would "sacrifice" Rygel when the baby is ready to be born. They do this because it would be easier to handle Rygel than Aeryn. They probably try to kill Aeryn but she escapes to live to help free Rygel and her baby... And, then somehow gets the baby transferred back into her...

2. The Mini will end with the war over and John and Aeryn "together at last" but Aeryn is still in fairly early pregnancy and we don't get to find out what the baby is...

[SaraD]

When the story continues, whether in a feature film or a series or another mini, I would be interested to see how the writers develop the idea of this Sebacean/human child with bits of Pilot thrown into the DNA mix. One thing I'm watching closely is the translator microbe stuff. Rygel once said he didn't understand why John wasn't injected with them at birth -- but that would seriously mess up human cognitive development. So when we get that far (and we will. yes. we will) I'm going to be paying a lot of attention.

My guess is also that this first kid is female. Just a hunch.

[Doc Holiday]

A boy I think.

[Jeff O'Connor]

A boy I think.

I'm with you on that.

[Col. Kathryn O'Neill]

could go either way.. instict says girl.. (never mess with womans intutiton (sorry bout that spellin if i killed it... an fighting a semi sore neck and poundin headache.. that and i wanna go back to bed but have to suffer at wk doin a frellin morn shift.)

[Boron]

I'm male, and I'm thinking a girl, too. I don't know why. Hope she doesn't look like Rygel.

[scaperbuddy]

It's just got a to be girl. She'll have brown hair and John's blue eyes!

[Pheonixphire]

AS I remember there was some very good fan fic written with the theme of Aeryn and John's baby exhibiting superhuman traits. Actually that person's fiction had Aeryn having twins!!! --- HMMM.... will we here the sounds of two sets of pattering feet? This author also had them be fraternal and one male one female to appease both sexes.

[faustus]

whatever it is. it's gonna kick major ass

[Pheonixphire]

Here. Here. I agree with that. Whatever sex it is it is going to kick ass, just like its parents.

Since a Fetus does not split to become a twin, I think we can safely say ONE baby. Of course, it is fiction and we don't know how a Sebacean twin would form, so......

[Pheonixphire]

Good point DamonAO. I never thought about that. We were given that the fetus was singular when Aeryn was being tortured. So it probably will not be twins if Human physiology is anything like Sebacean ( which it is very close). In that case - I say girl. I say girl because having a boy be the offspring is the expected norm and with Farscape the unexpected is the norm ;).

You're probably right that she's going to have girl. In John's imagination Aeryn thinks the baby is a girl. I guess we won't know until the mini what Aeryn really thinks the sex will be or if she already knows. Actually, you'd think she'd already know in BT since when she had the fetus released in La Bomba, she had the DNA tested as well to establish paternity. But when she told John this news, I didn't get the feeling she knew the sex of the baby. Maybe she didn't want to know and wanted to find out when the baby is born.

I think TPTB probably know we're guessing it's a girl because that goes against what's common for TV babies and would be so Farscape. So because of that Aeryn is going to have a boy. :rolleyes: :D

[mjwillia]

I agree with both Chi27 and DamonAO as far as the "twin thing" and the gender of the child. However, Kemper says that he leaves a few things left to be answered at the end of to mini so that the story can continue and I believe the child being born is one of them.

I'll bet that the baby isn't born and we are left waiting for the story to continue.

[Chi27]

I'll bet that the baby isn't born and we are left waiting for the story to continue.

Of all things to leave hanging, I don't think the birth of the baby is going to be one of them. Trust me on that one for those of you who haven't seen a particular set pic. :D In fact, I'd bet money on it. That's how confident I am that she'll have it. :D

[SaraD]

I'm not sure that that pic is what you think it is.

[faustus]

what a strange conversation

[mjwillia]

I hope the baby is born - but wouldn't it just be like "Farscape" to torture us just a bit longer by not having it born???

What picture?

[JadedLegend3]

Didn't read the whole thread, so I hope I'm not repeating anything anyone's said....but I kinda hope the baby isn't born during the mini; it could be the premise of an additional mini, or feature film. :)

What set pic are you referring to? Can I see it? PM me with it if you are afraid of spoilers.

[skchwojko]

So are they just going to pass the poor little narl from womb to womb to Hynerian and back to womb again?

[AnnieBW]

Has anyone given any thoughts to John and Aeryn's baby being an Uber-Baby, Superhuman(Sebacean).

I'm writing that fanfic... ;)
