Liars, Guns, and Money: Part 2 -
With Friends Like These

It's 9:02, ladies and gentlement... time for Lyme's review...

First off, If I ever meet Scorpy, I AM GONNA GIVE HIM THE BRICKING OF HIS LIFE! BASTARD! BastardbastardbasTARD!

My thoughts and impressions, in no particular order other than as I remember them from the ep:

-Okay, first things first, I must say, I LOVE the scenes of Crichton in his module. The one about Leatherface, and 'C'mon, Scorpy, *Texas Chainsaw Massacre*!' and with the Tavlek, the comment about gingivitis... LOL!

-Speaking of Tavleks, I had to laugh when D'ARgo and Rygel corrected Crichton in unison...

-Hmm. So, Vorkarians have their young in litters, ey?

-Oh, man, MAN. The panic on Zhaan's face when she's telling Pilot her plan... oh, damn. Ouch.

-Whoa. So, we finally get our first look at the real Jothee. Damn, he's tall. DAMN, he's got a deep voice, too... how old is he supposed to be?!

-Love how Jothee's reaction to Scorpy is 'What the *FRELL* are you?!'

-Interesting background info on Scorpy: His mom was raped by a Scarran. Now we know why he hates em so much.

-Oh, my GODS. I thought the hot kinky Luxan sex *snigger* in VM was bad... But AGHHH, Scorpy/Natira sex! EEw ew ew ew eeeew wash my eyes out with Freshmint Listerine (and then hand it to that Tavloid, for his bad breath)!!

-EEEEE! Those thingies on Natira's head MOVE! *shudder* And Scorpy's sucking one! *retch* But, I literally fell out of my chair when Scorpy's cooling system popped out of his head like the thing on a typewriter in cartoons... I rofled so *hard*.

-Man, oh, man. Gotta love Chi this ep. She's great, man. I love it. Hilarious.

-Okay, okay, I can't resist... but the cameras mounted on the money... Bug's eye view! Bwahahah! HAHA! Okay, okay, I know, bad pun. Bad Lymey.

-Whoa, Chi, that's a... one.... frelling HUGE gun... and it shoots blue goo... is that the same goo that the Draks used in EFG?

-ROFLMAO! Coming to theatres this March: "There's Something About Chiana"! Okay, the minute that goo splattered all over Chi's face/hair... I thought of There's Something About Mary.

-Hey! Crichton doesn't get beat up this ep! BOOGIE!

-Man, oh man. When we first see that the slavers have already sold the lot Jothee is in, watch D'Argo. I was screaming at Stark to get out of the room before he went full hyper-rage...

-And then, D'Argo's pissed at *JOHN*?! WTF?! OH, yeah, like he wanted to get Harvey in his brain! D'Argo, stop being a SMEGHEAD! You're making me not like you! (Sorry, I also watched Red Dwarf tonight).

-Speaking of Sci-Fi curse words, I am gonna have to go back and get the count on the number of times 'Frell' is said. I think it was once every 30 microts, this ep...

-Oh, bad bad bad bad bad.... no burn Moya... owie. Although, I must say that visual of Moya burning from outside was... amazing...

-Rygel and Chi have some great moments together in this ep. I love the scene at the beginning, when they're talking about money... and then, when they're trying to steal the money. 'Specially this dialogue:
"Crichton's too... honorable."
"Aeryn... too dull."
"D'Argo's too -"
"Go on, say it."
"Simple."
roflmao!

-The quote from Crichton that basically goes, "Hiya, Bekhesh, meet Winona! *thwap*" was rofl... Man, I bet Bekhesh never expected to see Crichton again...

-So, apparently, Tavleks pray facing Mecca? *runs for cover, she seriously isn't trying to offend anyone here...*

-Speaking of which, I believe this is the first time we've ever seen Crichton with his vest buckled. Huh.

-I believe I spotted a Luxan voyager in the Flax, when we see the transport pod coming in...

-BTW, Aeryn's talk with the Sheyang was quite a good way to convince the Sheyang to come with her... calling him coward, and all.

-Back to the Zenetans... I wanna know what happened to Staanz! I don't really mind that they killed kra... kcrak... argh... *goes and looks it up* Kcrackic... his name is too hard to spell!

-Oh, yeah, PK Expendible, er, I mean, Barbie, apparently survived the jellifan paste.

-DURKA! DURKA! Ev'rybody, do the happy Durka dance! And get the man some clothes, he's still wearing Nebari gear!

-Bwahahaha, roflmao, Rygel tazered Durka! Hehe...

-Um, yeah. I guess Durka's pretty much dead... being headless'll do that for you... and, man, I love Rygel's 'behave, or this'll happen to you' comment to the rest of the bounty hunters after throwing Durka's head at them.

-Oh, man. The devastation on Moya... *frown*

-So, Stark's a holy man? Interesting.

-Ah, how nice. Scorpy remembers Stark. And seemed genuinely happy to see him again, in an evil sort of way.

-Okay, I think everyone on board Moya has beaten up Stark except Pilot and Rygel, now. Yeesh.

-I love how Chiana comforts poor Pilot after burning Moya. Too all the people who hated her when she first came aboard, I say 'NYEAH!'.

-and, of course, this review would be completely incomplete without mentioning the tag. Oh, boy. Here we go. I'm glad that D'Argo and Jothee have a happy reunion. To all those who feared that he was gonna hate his dad, you can stop worrying. Personally, I'm glad they didn't go the angsty route... and I think it's great that Jothee knows how his mom died.

-Whoa, Aeryn goes from elatedly happy (well, as elatedly happy as Aeryn gets) for D'Argo, to nearly crying, to PK mask as she realises what's happened to Crichton. I was goin, 'It's okay, dammit, shed a few for him... c'mon... CRY DAMMIT! We all know how you feel!'

-John's convo with Scorpy at the end utterly filled me with dread. Do we all seriously think that Scorpius is gonna take the chip and leave Crichton alive and ready to go on his merry way?

Do I look that f*cking stupid? HELL NO!

-Oh, and, what Lymey did during commercial breaks:
1. Gibbered at the tv, paced a few holes in the rug, and cursed Scorpy and the horse he rode in on. Oh, yeah, sprinkle heavily with the word 'bastard'.
2. Cackle madly, try to jump up and touch the 10-foot high ceiling (Almost made it! Literally, like, 2 inches away!)
3. 1st half of 3rd commercial break: Scream unintelligibly at Stark for being an ass. 2nd half of 3rd commercial break: Try to convince my dog, The Mango, that I wasn't screaming at her.
4. Jump up and down, screaming, 'F*ckin-A, Rygel! YEAH! F*ckin-A!' until I hurt my good knee and had to stop (ow).
And, after the show:
Make shrieking sounds like a grieving Luxan, pull on my hair, and run upstairs to write this... in the process, scaring the other dog *sigh*.

Okay, wrap it up! All in all, a good ep, in my opinion. I especially love the scenes on-board Moya, with Rygel, Zhaan, and Chiana. It's also nice to see Rygel being useful, for once. Next week's preview has left me a howling gibbering howler monkey, and I cannot wait to see it!

LBT, your local neighborhood spaz!
