MANOMANOMAN! It is exactly 9:02, EST... OH HOLY HOT FRELL DID THAT KICK ASS OR WHAT?!


Don't you dare say 'or what', or I'll hit you with a brick.

Run down of Lymey's thoughts, in no particular order:


-DAMN, what the FRELL is with Crichton? I mean, he's ready to kill Stark every 5 microts! I mean, he's acting like D'Argo did in TL and TUT... If I were Stark, I'd be feeling *very* unappreciated, considering what I'd done.

-Did I ever mention how much I like Chi's new outfit? Well, I do.

-Zhaan is downright... MRrrrOWwwRR... in that Pirate getup! Mmmm... (There! I now think I've cast enough doubt as to my sex *and* sexuality... lol...)

-I find it amusing and, well, a little disturbing that when Crichton is watching the cameras with Aeryn, and he starts hearing Scorpy, he reacts to Aeryn's going 'Scorpius?!' as if it's an everyday occurrence. Send chills down my spine.

-Hahaha, ROFLMAO, KFC's 11 ingredients! Where the frell does he come up with some of this dren? Priceless!

-Oh yeah, Stark's glow thingie looks kind of... gooey... before Zhaan puts the mask on again.

-Man, is the crew at each other's throats or what, for the great majority of this ep? They're bickering almost as badly as the first half of the first season.

-SHIPPYNESS! SHIPPYNESS! Do the obligatory SHIPPYNESS boogie with me, people! C'mon! *boogies*

-A thought, which will prolly turn into a full-fledged conspiracy theory (You heard it from Lymey, first! It's (C) to me!): When Scorpy was talking about his 'container', did anyone have the sudden, horrifically BAD feeling that what he might have had in his container was... possibly... dare I say... another Aurora Chair? I got this horrific sinking feeling.

-Eeew. Okay, I thought that M'Lee and Scorpy made a hideously perfect couple... but Natira... uergherhgbhhhh. *shudder* Talk about match made in Hell.

-Chiana and Rygel just cracked me up this ep. Rygel's bitching and moaning while they're trying to escape, and Chi's parroting all of Zhaan's commands. It was ROFLicious. Especially Ryge losing his coat... rofl...

-What's the deal with Natira's bondage furniture and the whole Art Nouveau styling going on in the vault?

-The return of My-Side-Your-Side!

-The return of Luxan Tongue Slapping! (okay, that sounds dirty...)

-I really thought it was a nice touch... that as Crichton and Aeryn got closer and closer to escaping, John started to have more and more Scorpy induced spaz-outs... like his hands waving around as he was openning the doors... it was a very frightening touch, but a good one, all the same.

-Braca, you big fargin icehole... Letting the door crush the guard so you can get through?

-I'd really like that Rygel statue for my room... well, okay, mebbe not my room, but, I still want it.

-I love the little laugh Chi and Zhaan have after the gas works. Now, if only we can see some bonding between Aeryn and Chiana.

-John Crichton, singing the National Anthem (loudly and offkey) while dragging himself away from Scorpy was amusing, in a 'I've just seen WGFA and am freaking' sort of way. In otherwords, it was frightening and disturbing while being hilarious at the same time.

-Uhm, Scorpy... I know you have this whole thing about dominating Crichton and everything... but, seriously, why didn't you just put your cooling rod in *YOURSELF*?! Common sense, boyo!

-So, Niem is no longer a redhead? Okay, I don't think the peacekeepers exactly look highly on make up and hair dye... so how are they (TPTB) gonna explain her being a blonde now? (And why does she look so damned familiar?)

-Thought: Okay, Scorpy is talking dren about John not being able to kill Scorpy without killing himself... I am *WORRIED*. What if Scorpy (Another conspiracy theory thought here) has planted some sort of kill switch into the chip? I mean, so that if Scorpy dies, the chip sends a signal that causes John's brain functions to stop? I mean, look back at WGFA - We KNOW that Scorpy can stop his brain. Oh, frell. Nossir, I don't like it!

-That part of Moya that Crichton is sitting next to in the tag... I don't recall ever seeing that on Moya before. I guess they've been doing some set remodeling, or something.

-Hmm. Next week, I hope to see more Pilot. He was barely there the whole ep.


-I can't think of any other prevalent thoughts or impressions at the moment, but I'm sure some more will come to me when I rewatch the tape (over and over and over and over, mind you). But, for now, I'm off to watch s'more of Red Dwarf on BBCA... and POINTEDLY *not* watch Jules Verne (To you I say NYEH! Sci-Fi! I'll also add in a few NI! NI! NI!'s for good measure!)

-Oh, yeah, did I mention the shippyness? mmmm... that look on John's face after Aeryn says 'I know' the second time... Okay, frell Red Dwarf for the next few microts, I'm going to rewatch all the shippy bits, like.


-And I still want John's duster, dammit!
