The Way We Weren't

Okay, it's NOT 9:02. It's not even Friday. But I was laaaazeeeeeeeeee last Friday. And then the power was out ALL day Saturday at my house, because we had this absolutely FREAKISH hurricane force wind blow through our neighborhood (I'm talking like, 70 MPH and HIGHER winds) for a 3 minute period... it knocked down a buncha fences and the power. By the time it came back on, I was not in the mood...

So here it is, Lymey takes a spastic short revisitation to TWWW.


This revisitation is brought to you by the PK Navy - Be all you can be, unless you can be more (Er, wait, I think that's the Army's slogan... er, whatever).


-I don't know why, but Velorek has always given me bad vibes. He continues to do so. Mebbe I'm just doing that 'Grrr git away from Crichton's wommin, yew BOYO!' I do this later in the ep, too when Crais does that look thingie when Aeryn turns Velorek in. Damn, I'm a rabid shipper. Oh, no, wait, that's the alka-seltzer agin... mmmm... alka-seltzer...

-OH. MY. GOD. I want Claudia Black's back. I WANT IT FOR MY OWN. HAWT dayum! (erm, yeah, that was weird, I know. And rather kind of creepy. Uh huh.)

-*snerk* Velorek wears suspenders! HAhAHAhaHAa! I don't know why this is funny. Suspenders just are. But, hey, at least he doesn't have to wear the fugliest uni in the universe, right? Y'know, the PK tech uniform...

-I SAW A SHEYANG! WOOP! I've seen this ep prolly over 10 times, and I NEVER noticed him til now!

-Man. In the flashbacks, Moya looks so *weird* crawling with PKs, that it's sometimes hard to remember that it *is* Moya they're on, and not a command carrier.

-Pilot's language is eternally coooooooool.

-Chi's 'interrogation' of Rygel always cracks me up. She's all yankin on his earbrow, and he's shrieking... Okay, yeah, I'm weird. I know.

- {NOTE: LYME'S LITTLE TOE ON HER LEFT FOOT FEELS KINDA FUNNY.}

-My gods do we get smacked with Crichtonisms. Starting with the '3 men in a tub' comment, I think we get about 5 sentences in a row with some random Erpism...

-Okay. This is totally WRONG and kinda disgusting. But those white wire-thingies Velorek pulled out of Pilot to connect him made me think of Tapeworms. Stop going 'EEEW!' I told you it was wrong! You didn't have to read it!

-Well, since already everyone else was fairly snarky about the primer, I won't be. Although, for the record, after watching it, I was snarky. DK bagged on us Shippers, and we don't take being bagged upon kindly, see? Er... *Lymey drops the cheesy 1920's gangster accent* Oh, yeah, and I kinda went farbhot and shouted at the comp screen like Murone for a few minutes (YOU FARGIN CORKSUCKER! You are violating my fargin rights, you sumanumbatch! I gonna put yer bells in a sling!) But I'm better now. Mostly.

-Oh, btw, we see 3 leviathans in the convoy.

-AAaaaand, interesting fact: Pilot's species all apparently share the exact same genetic codes. Hrmmmmm.

Okay, now I'm off to run around screaming 'MONKEY MONKEY MONKEY!' and shout "ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US" for a little while... boooooogity on out!


BTW...








MOVE ZIG! FOR GREAT JUSTICE!
