Hilarious!! I'm going to have to remember this site. In the midst of the humor, he says exactly what I'm feeling.
The part about John's cell phone call from the moon ('Can you hear me? I'm ON the MOON!') reminded me of a British show- on Comedy Central, I think- the name escapes me at the moment, but one recurring skit has a man walking around in public places screaming into a giant cell phone. I'm still giggling insanely to myself, thinking about John with a giant cell phone. :) --ilianexsi

After the abyssimal day I had (and hell, it's just past noon!) this was exactly what I needed.
Evil characters never die on this show. Only the puppies and kittens die.
:rollin:
That reallly brought tears to my eyes! And it's true, too, if you wanna survive on this show you had better be a bad guy! Zhaan had only two seasons, but even Crais got three! On the other hand Zhaan never really got tortured, which is highly irregular for a crew-member and she probably had to pay with an early dead.
I'm looking up the Dungeon Master spell that turns enemies into fluffy little chicken. Once we used that on Mr Jackson reality should take care of him swiftly and mercilessly. Make them cute. That's the way to get them invariably killed!
Love and Peace and LOL!

"Then John and Aeryn have a really cute relationship scene where they lean against the wall and smile at each other. All of this reminds me of why I'll miss Farscape, especially the parts with the tight leather. "
ROTFLOL!!! The above was my favorite. But husband and I loved it all. Yay for Happy Bunnyland! :bounce:

" I can't help but imagine what Christmas is like at Rockne O'Bannon's house. The kids open up their presents, and they get just what they wanted. They tell Dad how much they love their new train set. "Oh, you DO, do you?" says Rockne. "Well, now I'm setting it on FIRE and throwing it out the WINDOW! Ha HA!" No, don't do it, the kids sob. Please! Not again! "Now, where's your puppy?" No, Dad! No! Not the puppy"
*snort*
I thought that was too funny! :)

Any time something gets beautiful on Farscape for two minutes at a time, that's a red flag that they're about to kill a puppy.

I LOVE toughpigs! His views on Crichton Kicks just cracked me up SO totally! This one is great too. I kinda agree with him... I'll do almost ANYTHING to avoid talking about that last minute. I mean... any OTHER show would have quit, but NOT FARSCAPE!! We were DK'd AGAIN!
God, I LOVE this show!

Warning sign #4: Aeryn is having John's baby, John proposes, Aeryn accepts... and they're happy. The audience lets their guard down for a moment. The puppy is ready to burn. andIs it fair to pull out random, murderous breakfast-related aliens at the last minute? Not really. But here he comes. :rollin: :rollin: :rollin:

Oh, too funny, too funny. I laughed -- at how true it is. But you gotta feel sorry for all of our Brit friends, what with that last reference. Poor puppies.

I actually had the same mental picture during that scene, and the dialog running through my head ("HELLO? WHAT? I'M ON THE MOON! NO, IT'S RUBBISH! CIAO!") made it very difficult to take the actual dialog seriously. ;) The show is Trigger Happy TV, and I actually just saw an ad on Comedy Central for new episodes starting April 7, likely with ginormous cell phone in tow.

but for all we know, the Scarran ship made it through to the other side too. So they might be sitting on the moon right now calling John's dad
Jack - Hello? Who is this?
Scarrens - Give us all your flowers, human!
Jack (cracking up) - All your flowers are belong to us, huh?
Scarrens - Ha ha ha. Take us to your leader, flowers - sorry, take us to your flowers, leader.

Mike, you need to take a break! Clear your mind! All your Farscape do NOT belong to us :).

ROTFLMHO! Did you see his review of What Was Lost: Sacrifice????
I particularly like this quote:
Oh, did I tell you about Grayza? That's the other thing. Grayza is like the new Scorpius -- she's big and bad, she keeps Scorpius as a pet, and she has hypnotic cleavage sweat that clouds men's minds. I shit you not, she really does. She kind of reaches into her cleavage -- which is not hard to do, since it's always exposed for easy access -- and then she twiddles her fingers under the guy's nose, and then he wants to kiss her and do whatever she wants. It's pretty excellent.
......
I have to say that at this point, I am completely on Grayza's side. If I had hypnotic cleavage sweat, that's exactly what I would do. Good on ya, Grayza. Keep going with that, I think you're on to something.
:rollin:
And the end:
It's kind of like shouting, "To have peace you must run with scissors! Run with scissors, John!" It's just not that scary. Maybe it's the magnetics.
Next week: More fun things to do with hypnotic cleavage sweat.

Actually, when I saw the Moon Phonce Call scene from Bad Timing, the first thing that popped into my head was that stupid cell phone commercial:
John: "Can you hear me now?"
Jack: "Yeah, son."
John: (takes a few steps across the moon) "Can't you hear me now?"
Jack: "Yeah!"
John: (a few more steps) "Can you hear me NOW?"
Jack: "For crying out loud, John, I said YEAH!"
