Farscape

This episode would have been perfect if it did not have the silly back story of Chiana and the old women. I mean they totally ruined this great episode and they hold it back from being what it is fantastic. Still this episode does impress. So Grazer has a meeting with the Scarrens and tries to make a deal but it all goes wrong and Aeryn is left to clear it up. You know i really thought Aeryn was going to kill Grazer but yet again she managed to slip by. I wonder what will happen now that there is only six episodes left. I don't think it is enough to wrap up the story but you never know.

Not top drawer, but certainly an improvement on last week. The episode had several nice moments - particularly the way Aeryn and Sikozu started to bond in adversity. And any episode that has Aeryn back in the leather coat in an "I’m gonna kill something" mode gets my vote. What the episode showed was that the dynamic of the programme is heavily driven by the female characters. Last week’s boys only episode was flat and unengaging. This week’s showcase for the girls was considerably more tense and enjoyable even with plot holes big enough for a leviathan and several command carriers to fly through. How many of you would hold a serious negotiation standing up in an open area where you can be easily overlooked and shot at? Call me Mr Practical, but I would have thought the minimum requirements for a peace conference would be a room to meet in and several guards on the doors. I was initially really disappointed in how easily Aeryn escaped. The thought that it was a piece of "with a single bound she was free" type of plotting crossed my mind until I started to pick up the clues that it wasn’t her. The final sequence where John doesn’t want to believe it isn’t really her was very well done by all concerned, and the last shots were full of genuine pathos.
