Television Without Pity has posted keckler's recap of "Taking the Stone (http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/portal/site/TelevisionWithoutPity/menuitem.766266d5c663f366b180b41045001d30/?vgnextoid=9f03c4a85e693110VgnVCM1000006dc1d240RCR D&vgnextfmt=default&ShowName=Farscape)".

Taking the Dumb-Ass Freaking Stone (http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/portal/site/TelevisionWithoutPity/menuitem.766266d5c663f366b180b41045001d30/?vgnextoid=9f03c4a85e693110VgnVCM1000006dc1d240RCR D&vgnextfmt=default&ShowName=Farscape)
Farscape - Classic - In order to deal with her grief over her brother's death, Chiana hangs out with a bunch of Stoners who spend their time doing drugs and committing suicide. On the up side, Rygel becomes a grave robber!


A black snake slithers out of one of the eyes. Instead of running screaming from the room as I did, Rygel sighs, 'Bonus!' He then grabs the snake -- more like a large black maggot, actually -- and eats it. See, that's when I should have run screaming from the room. I also need to remember: don't eat before watching this show. Ever.


Everybody Must Get Stoned

I wish I had before witnessing Chiana dealing with this year's demons with mud-dreds, shrooms, cliff jumps, and freak-ass poses.

Chiana lovers beware - keckler does NOT like this episode. The snark flies freely. *snicker*

Television Without Pity has posted Couch Baron's recap of "Bone to be Wild".

The Bone Collector (http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/portal/site/TelevisionWithoutPity/menuitem.766266d5c663f366b180b41045001d30/?vgnextoid=44f495203ed24110VgnVCM1000006dc1d240RCR D&vgnextfmt=default&ShowName=Farscape)
Crichton, Zhaan, and D'Argo come across a botanist with two mouths and a girl who subsists on calcium. Meanwhile, Aeryn forges a trust with Moya's child, and Scorpius and Crais continue to sort of despise each other.


Crichton is the only one she fondles while doing so, and I know that's probably not going to come as a surprise, but I believe in being thorough. Also probably not coming as a surprise to the huge majority of readers is that the girl is played by Francesca Buller, who just so happens to be Ben Browder's real-life wife, and appears later in the series in the roles of ro-NA and Minister Akhna. I mention her marital status in case anyone was feeling sorry for her for having to wear light bulbs on her head.

Pray For Osteoporosis (http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/portal/site/TelevisionWithoutPity/menuitem.766266d5c663f366b180b41045001d30/?vgnextoid=44f495203ed24110VgnVCM1000006dc1d240RCR D&vgnextfmt=default&ShowName=Farscape)
Bone To Be Wild - There's a creature on the loose that eats bones, and a botanist that looks like a large mound of something or other. One of those is an enemy. Also enemies: Crais and Scorpius, who try to put their dislike of each other on hold long enough to find Moya. They fail, particularly at the first part.

Recaps are coming thick and fast. Keckler just posted her recap of Dream a Little Dream (http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/Shows/Farscape/Stories/Dream-A-Little-Dream). Why is it that the worst episodes make the best recaps? *snicker*

In Space, No One Can Hear You Object (http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/Shows/Farscape/Stories/Dream-A-Little-Dream)
Suffering from nightmares of Crichton, Aeryn, and D'Argo dying in the first season's finale, Zhaan tells Crichton of the time she faced the death penalty for jaywalking on a planet made mostly of Oscar the Grouch's trashcans and predominantly populated by lawyers.

The trio hits the streets of Litigara, and I have to wonder: why does every sinister, never-having-light, alien city feel the need to model themselves after Blade Runner? Let's get some new alien city planners, people!

There's nothing so riveting as a court case in outer space. Oh, wait.
