snowflake_challenge number 5 is to discuss/promote a canon you love.
Aaaaah what do I choose???
Oh wait, of course I choose John Crichton and Aeryn Sun in Farscape. Oh my frelling GOD, it is the most epic and amazing love story, brilliantly acted, brilliantly scripted, beautifully filmed, laugh out loud, cry your eyes out, tear your heart out and hand it to you a thousand times over in a show that lasted only four seasons and a made-for-tv movie. It's the essential "contemporary astronaut flung through wormhole into strange land meets bad-ass but emotionally stunted alien commando and they fall in love" but aaaaagh it is so much more than that. Growth, survival, death, torture, angst, hilarity, slow descent into madness, more death, EVEN MORE ANGST, and lots of shooting things.
If I go searching for highlights, I'm going to end up rewatching the whole series. And if I post them all here, I will definitely spoil you all. But you start here:
Rank and Regiment, Now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9nv9rw1pSs
Very. Clear. Air: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_V7-Ta-t-EY
Is somebody docking?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-RKumWTkkE
[3.5 seasons later]
End up around here (which hey, also has a nice recap since it's the start of the miniseries, and doesn't particularly spoil very much):
One More Time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1gBNNyACvI
And in between.... it's a hell of a ride.
