The Most Frustrating Words in the English Language: "To Be Continued"

I'm not sure whether tonight's Farscape has improved my mood or not... You know, I told my previously-mentioned deprived-of-cable friend that I'd make sure and get together with her after the first few episodes of the season so she could watch them on tape. She seemed really impatient at the thought of having to wait that long (yeah, I've hooked her good!), but at the moment, I think I envy her. At least she won't have to spend a week wondering what the HELL is going on. Because, at the moment, things aren't making a whole lot of sense. Not in a bad-writing sort of way (I don't think), but more like we're looking at a jigsaw with half the pieces missing. And reflected in a funhouse mirror. And viewed with a bad case of uncorrected astigmatism. Well, OK, maybe it's not that bad, but still...

Some random thoughts ((WARNING! SPOILERS! (YES, BIG ONES!)):

I notice they still haven't told us exactly what happened to Moya. Which in itself is really weird. I get the distinct feeling D'Argo and Jool are hiding something. Or that something really strange is up with them, anyway. They've sure done a very neat job of dodging all Crichton's questions. I'm just not sure why... Or am I just being paranoid?

Man, that old woman is crazier than Stark! And she's got this total thing about drugs. Say what you will about Banik-boy, at least he didn't go around spritzing people with LSD, or whatever it is she's got in that powdered stuff. And he never tried to kill any of them, either. Well, OK, yeah, Crais, but that was kind of understandable, if you ask me.

Braca is such a whore. Yeah, all right, it doesn't appear that he's acting entirely under his own volition. But still. I hearby rescind any meager scraps of liking or sympathy I might ever have had for the man.

Speaking of Braca... I'd be prepared to swear on any books you'd care to nominate that I have never seen those scenes between him and Grayza from the "Previously on Farscape" bits before. It actually kind of panicked me for a moment. Did I lapse into a week-long coma and miss an episode or something? The only thing I can figure is that they must have been scenes that were cut from the American version for time reasons. Either that, or I'm hallucinating worse than John when he's hyped up on weird Grandma-drugs. Either way, it's annoying.

Grayza reminds me more of Servalan than ever. I wonder if that pheromone trick (or whatever it is) is natural or artificial?

Poor, poor Scorpius. OK, it's arguable that he deserved the Aurora Chair, but the rest of it went way beyond poetic justice. Not even Scorpy deserved that. I really hope he gets the chance to give the bitch some payback. She's a much nastier (and far less sympathetic) villain that he ever was. Scorpius was certainly ruthless, and he could occasionally be cruel, but he was never that downright sadistic.

And poor Crichton, too. It's not enough that he's been mentally and emotionally frelled on a more or less constant basis for the last two years, but now apparently Grayza's doing it physically as well. With every passing episode, it seems less and less likely that the man is ever going to manage to pull himself back together and find his happy place again.

Looks like one thing we actually are going to get an answer to is the oft-speculated-upon connection between Humans, Sebaceans, and Interons. Which is funny, because it's not one of the questions I was really expecting an answer to. I wonder where they're going with that? I mean, there's an obvious (and rather cliched) possibility, but Farscape does have this interesting habit of taking obvious cliches and turning them completely upside-down.

Must... be... patient...
