Maybe because it's so good they play it on special times and it's special to look at it. Like eating caviar. I have never eaten caviar, btw, although I used to have a chance more than ten or so years ago. Everyone encouraged me, but I thought it was yucky after the first taste.

Now that the trailer was introduced at Comic Con, watch for it to start appearing on TV. Sci-fi does have a plan to advertise and market this mini series. Plus they now also have possible options to show the trailer on other stations. Now, won't THAT be FANTASTIC!!! :D :D

Since it is a longer trailer (how long was it?), it would make sense for them to unveil it in a very special fashion and treat it as something rare rather than something readily available.

Making something rare often increases its aura.

The trailer is SO AWESOME.

It starts off by showing John saying something like 'Once upon a time there was a man named John Crichton. He was gobbled up by a wormhole...' Gobbled up?!! That sounds like kid-speak to me. My first thought was that he was telling a 'story' to his child. But it doesn't seem to add up. Who knows... it's Farscape. ;)

I also remember a Scarran kicking out Scorpy's cooling rod mechanism. I think it broke off. Need to watch it again.

John talking to Aeryn and saying "It's just you, me, and the baby from now on." He looked a bit worried while saying this...

Grayza, of course, very pregnant. What the frell?? John's child from WWL? Or did they transplant Aeryn's child into Grazya? I was one of those who let out an audible gasp when that scene came on!!

A lot of great explosions. :) Brian Henson said that the CGI wasn't finished yet, but they looked real to me. I wonder if he was joking.

I cannot wait to see this trailer on the Sci Fi site, and see us pick it apart and analyze it frame by frame. That just sounds like fun. :D

October cannot get here quick enough!

Rebecca Riggs who plays Grayza was very much pregnant in real life during most of the mini shoot. I strongly suspect the scene highlighting her pregnancy was a nightmare sequence and not a major plot element. After all, the writers wouldn't have known she'd really be pregnant when they wrote the scripts.

See the thread at http://www.watchfarscape.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23381

No, they definately would NOT have known that Rebecca would be majorly pregnant. However....DK most emphatically is quite happy and ready to change a storyline with input of ideas. I doubt they would have changed the whole projected script. But...with Claudia's copy of the scrpt getting out, they might well HAVE changed what they had originally planned.

I hope someone asked that question.

this assumes that this particular subplot wasn't intentional. do you really believe that Grayza used that particular form of torture on John simply because she was hard up? think bigger. think wormholes. think genetics.

OK, Spoiler Theory that'll help keep everyone at rest here....























We spoiler fiends know that John/Aeryn's baby ends up in Rygel for a bit. What if the PKs kidnap Rygel, and the baby gets transferred to Grayza? So then it could be John's baby....and Aeryn's too. In the original teaser that SciFi put out already Grayza has a smug look on her. Maybe she's pleased because she thinks she has John and Aeryn by the Mivoks because they can't kill her in fear of killing the prenatal Crichton?

Isn’t it ironic that more than a year ago Rebecca Riggs mentioned that she has this strong theory that Grayza is actually carrying John’s child and now, a year later Riggs is really pregnant and inevitably Grayza end up in the same condition. At least Riggs must be feeling quite comfortable that she throw her character where she wanted, despite what the original plans of the writers and producers might have been.
In a way I knew it was coming. Chehov / I hope I spell the name right/, a famous Russian writer once said: “If in the first act there is a gun hanged on the wall, the gun most certainly will fire at the end of the third act”. So here we see the gun’s shot, but what surprised me was how realistic the shot was :D – I mean the timing in Riggs pregnancy and the filming of the minis.
I don’t know if Grayza had planed it all/ if she did that most certainly beats in originality Scorpy’s efforts /, if she didn’t, it must have come as a surprise for her, but most certainly have saved her life after “Bad timing “ - “...if you touch me you won’t find the secrets you’ve seek for so long”. What ever the story is this proves that Grayza is a lot more then just a selfish, smart slut and she plays the “game” with virtuosity.
I personally like that plot line and it makes me even more excited to join and enjoy every second of the twisted ride we love to call Farscape.

This is what Rebecca Riggs said on this topic in TV Zone Special #51, if someone is interested :D Well in the light of the recent news i don't see it as spoiler any more :D

[ Just what sort of ideas did Riggs have regarding Grayza's future? "They're total speculation, nothing at all to do with anything that the writers may have come up with but they're sort of connected to things that were in my head toward the end of the series too. I found that Grayza had started acting in more and more irrational ways. That's not something that I thought fitted her in some ways so I decided that she had a reason for that, and the reason that I felt really comfortable with that was that she had another plan going.
"I believe that Grayza was carrying Crichton's child. It was my own personal secret; I think I mentioned it once to [writer/producer] Ricky Manning, but that was probably on my last day. I can't even remember what I said, but towards the end of the season things were pretty hectic and I was getting scripts in which Grayza was behaving in a certain way and I'd think, 'Oh God, how can that make sense for me?’ So I made up this plan and that sat pretty comfortably with me. They have had sex, and added to that I knew that Sebaceans were able to control their fertility and play around with the time frame of that. I know that Grayza wanted something more than what she was getting out of what she'd been doing. But I don't mean that she suddenly got really maternal either. I think she believed that Crichton was the key to that without really knowing why, and she wanted to find out."]

Thanks mippippippi. I would have to agree. It also leads to an interesting potential spinoff having Chrichton's (3) children as the focus.

martrootamm
07-27-2004, 08:36 AM
I acknowledge that I may sound like a hypocrite in here, in that I lecture ppl here about spelling and stuff, but my text below very likely harbours some grammar mistakes. Sorry for these.

Other stuff of note: For those who are unable to see Russian or accented characters, then I can tell that I wrote this in Windows 98, Mozilla Firefox 0.9.2, with Estonian keyboard language and the default character coding in the browser is Western/ISO-8859-1.

Mippippippi: Chehov / I hope I spell the name right/, a famous Russian writer once said ...
Well, I guess your spelling is almost right: just add one h to the one already there and that would be it.

The most common English spelling is Chekhov, where an h there (like in word high) is somewhat longer and more fully pronounced out — is spelled as kh and people who speak English (mostly English-speaking people) who usually don't know the right pronunciation /not even in BBC, take it that they would have to spell out the k character too, not exactly knowing that it's actually a long h. The writer was lucky, because he became famous and therefore he probably didn't have to bear the phonemic/phonetic ridiculing of his name.

The Russian spelling is Чехов, where a Ч is transliterated as Ch in English and х is explained in an above paragraph. Unfortunately I couldn't find any handy Russian grammar books, from which I could have looked at rules on character quantity/duration and related spelling/pronunciation. The reason why I wanted to seek out the rules, is that there is only one х in Чехов, whereas the English transliteration refers to it as the long [and in some other cases stressed] h (like in the first character of high), which is commonly spelled with kh.

The obvious fallacy of kh and using it is that English-speaking people know that the k is commonly pronounced out, as in make and very, very often they think that when there is a name less known throughout centuries, such as Mikhail Khodorkovsky (Михаил Ходорковский ), they just need to (out of their apparently rife unwittingness) pronounce the k too, when really, they don't have to.

For example, the Estonian transliteration is Mihhail Hodorkovski and there we just don't have any chance to make any assumptions as to how the stuff should be pronounced in real life — because Estonian is a very phonetic language. The Estonian transliteration of the famous Russian writer's name mentioned above is Tšehhov — Tš substituting the Russian ч; š in general signifying almost anything that in English is written with sh (like the the beginning of a four-letter word that in 'Scape talk is dren : ) and a longer h is just represented with hh.

So my suggestion here at the very top implies that Chehhov is probably the one way of spelling that wouldn't leave space for any doubts regarding pronunciation for unwitting speakers of English. Another suggested way to spell: Mihhail Hodorkovskií /an accented í replacing the Russian й.

Another typical mistake is with Kazakhstan, where (mostly) native-English speakers are falsely keen on pronouncing the k that stands before the h, while the spelling both in Estonian and Russian tells of a different story: Kasahstan and Казахстан.

There are also some cases where a k before an h is useful: Aslan Maskhadov, but this also leaves room for uncertainties in pronunciation: removing the k results in Mashadov — the sh part is emphasised, because English-speaking people understand sh like in sheesh, but leaving the k also poses problems: the name could be pronounced with the k: "Mask-hadov". The latter option, though, is not as bad as the former and the likeliness of erring is also less.

Where pronouncing a k before an h is a given, is in Genghis Khan or anything else which is, has in it or is with Khan...

As I am already in the topic of h, I still wonder how to correctly pronounce Akhna — is it like Ahhna or like Akhna?

Mippippippi
07-27-2004, 09:47 AM
Zdravstvuj, Martrootamm !!!

I wasn't actually sure how Chehhov is spelled in English I know how it is spelled in Russian and in Bulgaria /where I'm/ it's the same way. So thanks for the tip. :D

martrootamm
07-27-2004, 09:59 AM
I think that the common standard way to spell it in English is still Chekhov — I don't feel there are any alternate ways in use, like the ones I suggested, mainly because Chekhov's name, spelling and correct pronunciation has been established for centuries /well, at least for more than a century, while Mihhail Hodorkovskií's name still poses pronunciation issues because of the way his name is spelled.

Also, these were just suggestions and you (or anyone else for that, matter) may make use of them on your own and probably in informal/private areas, such as this forum, but if you were to use names with similar caveats in English and more-or-less official areas /such as news text and such, then using the common spelling that so far has been used everywhere else seems to be a requirement.

If you were to stray from this rule when publishing something on your own on the web, for example, then you'd have to publish explanations on spelling or putting the more common way of spelling inside brackets. For example, if you had a test at school or wrote a term paper or anything in that fashion, you'd need to use the correct /or the commonly agreed-upon transliteration. If you wrote a book and insisted on a more clear transliteration that would not confuse English-speaking people into pronouncing the name in a wrong way, you could probably make use of your suggested transliteration and have the commonly known transliteration of the name inside brackets. The book would also have to contain an explanation.

So using "one's own way of writing" is not as easy as it seems.

If Grayza's pregnancy of John is confirmed, then it may be that she'd become another target, pretty much like John and Aeryn have been and if she really is, then I thought of a few speculations:

* it would then void the Scarrans the actual need to get Aeryn, if they have the knowledge of Grayza's pregnancy;
* Grayza wouldn't really need to either search for Crichton or have him tagging along: she'd have her own prenatal child, who would then contain John's DNA, which would then contain the valuable wormhole equations and that is easy to extract, considering the technology that they already have.

Only that Grayza is a very clever woman and a very protected target, so getting her would not be quite easy. Although she loves to travel and not always inside a Command Carrier, but a somewhat smaller ship...

* And of course, killing Grayza off by anyone knowledgeable becomes moot, because she is pregnant with the most valuable and craved-for weapon in the universe. And Crichton wouldn't want her dead either, because he has his child inside her.
* And if Grayza is not careful, someone (like John Crichton) could compromise her position /again, because children made out of love by people who make them are very much chastised in the PK brethren — Remember Xhalax Sun and Talyn Lyczak?

I devised a livid scenario:

For example, Grayza around PK Command, when Crichton has jumped in and the following dialogue ensues:

[JOHN CRICHTON, somewhat affectionately at Grayza] Hey, Commandant, long time! :)
[For a second, GRAYZA looks abashed :confused:, not believing that Crichton got through a security cordon and she's deadly serious... http://www.watchfarscape.com/forums/images/icons/icon8.gif]
[JOHN] Hey, dear, why so serious... Ooohh, you're pregnant, way to goooo!!! We're gonna have a baby!!! Wohooo! Woot! Woot! :D [jumps around :bgb: ]
[GRAYZA] What are you talking about!?! :pissed:
[JOHN] Whoa... Don't you remember, fifi dear, when we were on Arnessk and you were literally. On. Top. Of. ME?! :( We spent the best time of our life there :cloud9: :dancin:
[PK COMMAND MEMBER /higher than Grayza] Is this so, Commandant!? :grumpy:
[GRAYZA, on the defensive a bit, but not loosing her cool] Not at all! I seduced him and had him and got his DNA into me to get the Wormhole technology, just in case :mischief:
[JOHN] But hey, mi bella commandate (sp?), what's gonna happen after you get our baby and the D-N-A?!
[GRAYZA] He will grow in PK ranks, just like everyone else :borg: !!
[JOHN :no:] But it's our baby, honey, I thought we were gonna raise the kid and stuff I'm still his father, y'know :cry2:, what if he won't make it in Peacekeepers, he's still half-human and Mele-on, my love, you can arrange things... So that I could raise the kid, 'coz you can't, because of your Peee-Kay commitments :ppbb:
[PK COMMAND MEMBER] Commandat Grayza! So you have performed an illegal act of emotional prenatal engineering!?! :irked:
[GRAYZA] No, that's not frellin' true!! He's drennin'! :loco:
[PK COMMAND MEMBER, his facial expressions show that he's not buying her story...]
[GRAYZA gulps audibly...]
[PKC MEMBER] We'll see about that... :mad: Guards, take Grayza to the Aurora chair to inspect her memories!!!
[GRAYZA :sweaty: ]

And then Grayza will be taken away, but Crichton, Scorpius, et al. will engage in a tricky heavy combat operation to get Grayza and themselves out and Grayza, as an 'unclean' PK officer, must take refuge on Moya, much to Aeryn's chagrin, 'cause who's is going to like such a competition?!

Well, that was MY story and not anyone elses, so...

Actually, I haven't seen much of the Season3/4, only read episode synposes and by the near end of S4, Braca stripped Grayza of her ranks, because she did some traitorous act in cooperating with the Scarrans.

I might be exaggerating, but I think it ran about 1-1/2 minutes or so. Compared to the one we've already seen on Skiffy, it's long. But well worth every frelling microt of time. :D

A lot of great explosions. Brian Henson said that the CGI wasn't finished yet, but they looked real to me. I wonder if he was joking.

Well, it was mentioned in one of the DVD commentaries that from the end of s1 onwards, they've used real pyros for the explosions wherever possible (rather than doing them with CGI) as it looks better.

And we know that for the mini, they used up all the explosives in Australia!

So given all that, it's pretty likely that he wasn't joking, that the explosions featured in the trailer were real, non-CGI ones, and that the CGI special effects are still being completed.

October cannot get here quick enough!

Well, I know there definitely was a collective gasp in the room when Grayza turned in profile to show off her big pregnant belly with the smug look and belly caress. I think all our mouths literally dropped on that one.

However, I must admit after hearing John tell Aeryn it's just "it's just you, me and the baby" (probably not the exact quote -- damn I'd do a transcription if someone has a tape of it) and then seeing Grayza that it almost makes you wanna say -- "yeah, John enjoy that thought for now." :eek:

I can't wait to see this clip again, and again, and again. :D

Actually one of my favorite moments was the "We're getting married!" "Congratulations!" snippet. Lightning quick, but it had great timing. I laughed out loud, then of course gasped at the Grayza thing, then was teary-eyed when Aeryn said "You do what you have to do". And I still really don't have too much of an idea what is going to happen. It left me with a lot of questions, which is good for a trailer.

Come on, this is DK after all.

These are the minds that brought us Unrealized Realities!

Of course it could be a real plot point too, but three pregnancies at the same time is a lot to juggle.

Why three? I know that Aeryn would be definitely pregnant, while there's a rumour going around that Rygel could be pregnant and that Aeryn's child would somehow be transferred into Rygel's "womb" /hehee :D. So that would only leave Aeryn and then Grayza.

Spoilers from that article:














Panel goodies: Expect Zhaan to appear in the miniseries somehow- “her spirit is always with Moya”. While at Virginia Hey’s autograph booth, there was chatter that led me to believe that she is definitely in the mini.



YAY! A little cameo from big blue herself would be great.


Sikozu, Scorpius, and Stark all were prominent within the trailer, as well as our intrepid crew.


I was hoping Sikozu would be featured in the trailer.


David Kemper had this to say about the mini: “don’t watch it alone”

He also said something about locking up your knives - so don’t expect the mini to tie a neat little bow around the end. They’ve left it with plenty of room to continue, perhaps through another mini, maybe a movie, who knows? They’re keeping their options open.


For some reason this made me very VERY happy.

While this may be disappointing for fans, it makes a lot of sense in terms of marketing and managing the buzz around the mini-series.

The mini-series is still 12 weeks away. If they shoot all their buzz marketing ammunition now, they won't have anything to generate excitement among the general population when they need it closer to airdate. The trailer would be old news by then.

Henson is making the right decision for the benefit of the show.

I was really surprised to see an "illustrated transcript" of that clip on FS World! :eek: Super spoilerishous! but surprising from them. :D

Why so surprising? Fsworld generally always have comprehensive info on any news in Scaperland. :D

I'm inpressed and pleased that TPTB think enough of the fan effort that enabled the $$ for the mini that they showed the clip at the comic con and haven't insisted upon having the recon clip removed. Even though I've not seen it, I've at least been able to hear about it and that does satisfy my Farscape lust..somewhat... :D

That's buzz marketing to the nth degree. By having a few people--if a few thousand is a few--see the trailer and spread the word about it, builds anticipation in the marketplace. That's why all the movie studios go to Comic-con and have panels also. The hardcore fans are treated as buzz agents to spread the word.

There are theories that one way to increase the value of something from a buzz perspective is to make it rarer.

They actually 'want' to increase the buzz agenting of scapers? Isn't that a little dangerous? :D
