Tonight's Farscape was awesome. And I do mean that in the literal sense of "awe-inspiring." We're talking mouth hanging open, sitting in front of the TV for five minutes after the episode's over quietly reapeating the word "Wow" over and over awe. It's great to have a show to get this excited over again. I honestly can't remember spending this much sheer edge-of-the-seat adrenaline on a TV storyline since ST:TNG's "The Best of Both Worlds."

I'm not going to say anything really specific about the episode here, because I'd never forgive myself if I spoiled it for anyone who hasn't seen it. But I will say that I see it as very much validating the analysis of Crais that I posted here a week or two ago. There is one particular moment in this ep. where Crais is finally completely in control, and in its own bizarre, twisted way, it's glorious.

And I still can't wait to see where it goes from here...
