exsequar: (Farscape!)

Rank and regiment!

I'm watching the pilot of Farscape, and I can already FEEL the joy and squee BUBBLING up in my chest! It's WONDERFUL. I'm not quite done yet, but I just have to mark this for posterity:

I fell in love with John Crichton when he pulled a fork out of his sleeve and bopped it against his nose.

:D! :D! :D!

Further thoughts behind the cut!

Ben Browder/John Crichton - made of AWESOME. Funny and resourceful and adorably bemused by all the random ALIENS around him. Plus, he got all misty eyed at the end when he was recording the message to his father! I love a man who's not afraid to cry. Nawww! *smishes him to chest*

And Aeryn! Aeryn Sun! I'm already completely smitten by her too! She's GORGEOUS (pictures definitely don't do her full justice) but far more than that, she's competent, intense, snarky, and AWESOME. \o/ I love her like whoa. And she and John? Mountains of chemistry already!! *squirms* I am already so excited to see how their relationship develops into the het OTP to end all OTPs :D

God, the whole thing is just so wonderful! Moya is GORGEOUS. She reminds me of the shape of an Ancient drone missile from Stargate Atlantis, all graceful and tapered. And the effect of the Starburst? Be still my heart! Absolutely beautiful.

The rest of the cast of characters is great too. I love the blue priest lady (help me with names here guys!) and the orange lion guy is all hot-tempered and gruff and fabulous. And the hoity toity puppet guy is greatly entertaining!

Randomly: The blonde lieutenant to the guy who lost his brother (Crace? Krace?) looks EXACTLY like Draco Malfoy! With her hair pulled back all tight, she's got the exact same facial shape (pointy pointy chin!), the same eyes and eyebrows, etc. It's rather shocking! Hee.

In short, I LOVE SO HARD!!! Look, I've already got an icon! I can tell this show is going to eat me starting with my bottom ;) And I am SO EXCITED. *glees happily*

Come flail with me, friends! \o/

I just finished rewatching all of Farscape tonight, actually, so I am so very full of renewed squee.

Ben Browder/John Crichton - made of AWESOME.
Just wait for the angst and the leather pants.

And Aeryn! Aeryn Sun! I'm already completely smitten by her too!
Just wait for learning to emote. And the leather pants. (I guess she has them already doesn't she? The costuming just gets better though, you'll see what I mean).

I am already so excited to see how their relationship develops into the het OTP to end all OTPs

OMG. And it does. Oh, does it ever. They are probably my OTP of ALL TIME.

Zhaan, D'Argo and Rygel. *g*

I have so much pure, true love for that show.

blue priest - zhaan
orange lion guy - d'argo
And the peacekeeper you are talking about: Crais.

So you haven't seen the series before? I'll do my best not to spoil you. You should check out sdwolfpup's memories -- she did a write up and reaction to each episode as she watched it the first time.

Heeeee!!

The blonde lieutenant to the guy who lost his brother (Crace? Krace?) looks EXACTLY like Draco Malfoy!

And THIS is why I love you!!!!!!!! ♥♥♥

You do realise that your watching of this has made me want to rewatch. I loved this show so much when it came out. And Aeryn and John are the OTP of OTP's. They're UST personified XD

*dances with you*

eeeee FARSCAPE.

One day, I will go on and on and on at you about my love for Moya. I just...yes.

*cheers you on*

HEE :D Omg, Farscape, one of my original loves. John and Aeryn and the whole crew still fill my heart with amazing amounts of love. *happy sigh*

Even after all these years, though, it still makes me giggle like a three year old when people say things like Moya is GORGEOUS, because, heh, THAT'S MY NAME! I definitely started watching the show because the alien ship had the same name as me ;) Shallow, moi?

Oh, man, you've never watched Farscape before?!

*squeals*

Heh. It's going to be fun watching you fall for this. :)

Leather pants! Angst! Emoting! YAY! I am all giddy and atwirl. *happysigh*

Names! Thank you! I'm sure I will remember those... eventually.... ^_^

[identity profile] exsequar.livejournal.com 2007-03-21 11:08 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't! I know, lame right? Well, I'm making up for it now ^_^ I love how you're all smiling at me with fond amusement as I flail myself silly over such an old show. Hee.

Aha! Proper spellings! *makes note to self*

And thanks for the rec, i just might do that! :)

[identity profile] exsequar.livejournal.com 2007-03-21 11:08 am (UTC)(link)
Is that the ONLY reason you love me? ;) Heehee.

Rewatch with me!! It'll be FUN! *beams and dances you in circles*

Eeeeeeee!

N'awwww, look at your icon! I think the full version of that picture, posted by [livejournal.com profile] keepaofthecheez, was what spurred me to buy the series in the first place! :D

[identity profile] exsequar.livejournal.com 2007-03-21 11:10 am (UTC)(link)
Awwww, yay. I feel like this is definitely a hole in my fannish experience, and I'm glad to be filling it?

HEE! Hey Mooooya, you're simply gorgeous *winks* That's AWESOME. Hahaha :D

[identity profile] exsequar.livejournal.com 2007-03-21 11:11 am (UTC)(link)
I HAVEN'T!! So bizarre, right? Well, I'm making up for it now! Hee. Yay!

I ADORE the Peacekeeper Wars promos. Claudia, Ben, guns, leather... great combinations, IMO.

[identity profile] exsequar.livejournal.com 2007-03-21 11:36 am (UTC)(link)
Any chance you could link me to a gallery of them? Unless there's spoilers. Cause hey - PRETTY! :) Also, I'm going to want a gallery of pictures to look at soon anyway!

[identity profile] crediniaeth.livejournal.com 2007-03-21 11:53 am (UTC)(link)
SURE! (http://community.livejournal.com/hires_hotties/201162.html)

I wouldn't look too closely at the first PKW pic that's not a preview pic. Everything else should be clean.

Although I just realized it's a post in a flocked comm. Will that be a problem?

[identity profile] exsequar.livejournal.com 2007-03-21 11:55 am (UTC)(link)
*clicks* Nope! I'm a member of that comm! YAY! Thank you so much!

NIFTY.

[identity profile] exsequar.livejournal.com 2007-03-21 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Heeeee. I LOVE YOU TOO! But he IS an orange lion guy! I will try to call him by his proper name from now on *g*

Eeeeee! Mona! I am all flushed with brand new fandom love, and the excitement of so many seasons to look forward to! *beams*

FARSCAPE! \o/

It always amazes me how so many people are just starting to watch and get into it and it's still SO squee-worthy.

John/Aeryn are definitely the OTP of all OTP's (het, anyway *g*) and they're just so... awesome? Hot? Guh. As for the Crichton love, it gets even better. With every ep you start to wonder if you can love him any more and then YOU DO. And yeah, the leather pants... I remember someone comparing the entire show to an Australian bondage S&M scene in space. :D

Best of all, it never goes downhill. The show just gets better and better until the end and if anything, leaves you wanting more instead of hating the entire last season and wishing they'd ended it sooner which is sooo not the norm for shows, you know?

Ooookay, SEE? It's totally easy to squee about! I've totally rambled. I'll shut up about the awesomeness that is Farscape. ;)

Good to see another Scaper is born!

OMG, now you've made me miss Farscape all over again! The first season isn't even the best one, not even close, just you wait. So many wonderful things are coming your entire body might go esplody from squee. Le sigh. Now I'm wishing the show was still on the air, dammit...aaaand the nostalgia is eating my brain so I will stop talking now and go watch my DVDs.

Ben Browder/John Crichton - made of AWESOME.
OMG. He so is. My brother introduced me to Farscape back in the day & Ben was one of my first 'crushes that ate my brain', lol.

& I love the rest of the crew. to. pieces. Especially Pilot & Moya. And D'argo (the orange lion guy *_*). But honestly I can't do without any of them.

[identity profile] exsequar.livejournal.com 2007-03-21 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
That's the best kind of crew, where everyone is indispensible! It's like Firefly :D Omgyay, I am SO EXCITED! *twirls in a circle*

[identity profile] exsequar.livejournal.com 2007-03-21 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
It's SUCH a great feeling coming into a show with so much amazing canon to look forward to. I may be a little late, but it's going to be awesome anyway! YAY!

I am glad to join your ranks :D It's about time!

[identity profile] exsequar.livejournal.com 2007-03-21 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I hear only good things! it's so exciting! And it's nice to know that it never goes downhill :) Yay!

Hello! Do you get the sci fi channel? This Sunday, Claudia Black has a guest starring role on the show The Dresden Files, if you're interested.

[identity profile] exsequar.livejournal.com 2007-03-24 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
I do, and I did not know that! Thank you for the heads up! :)
