Damn.

Quick observation about Monday's episode 24:

Part of me can't help but think that Farscape will have handled the "lead just got raped" storyline much better than 24 will. And that was a space opera. With muppets.

More coherent thoughts on this to follow.

I'm presently of the opinion that this season of 24 could really benefit from some muppets:-P Bohemian Rhapsody anyone? Mama? MAMMMAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

*headdeskslam to infinity*

Okay but seriously, you know that when you put up your more coherent thoughts, I will follow suit.

Haha. Well, to be honest, Rygel and Pilot are two of the most full-formed, well-written characters in anything I've read, seen, or heard, and considering the number of books, plays, movies, and television I watch, that is something indeed.

Oh. Dude. Wow. You're totally misreading my comment. That was in no way intended to be any commentary whatsoever on Farscape, which I have not yet watched and which sounds amazing. Not in the least. I'm super sorry if you took it that way. And for god's sake you know I'm not joking about rape.

It was my way of whistling in the dark about the one show I do watch. My apologies.

Haha, and now you're misreading my comment. I'm actually agreeing with you that muppets would improve 24, at least if they're written the way they are on Farscape. They are *that* three-dimensional as characters. Although somehow you'd have to figure out a way to get Pilot out of the ship considering the fact that he's 11 foot puppet that looks...well, like this (http://www.scifi2k.com/farscape/farscape_pilot100.JPG).

So, maybe not. Heehee.

*snorffles* Okay. I'm glad we got that all figured out. Um, I think I really need to watch this show. I even HAVE some of it, thanks to you. You promised me epic ship that doesn't end with me bleeding out on the floor, right? Well. That sounds so lovely right about now...

It's a very polarizing show. You either love it or you hate it. Some people can't get over the puppetry or the gross factor. And it goes into really dark territory. But the epic ship? Oh yeah. It leaves you bleeding on the floor for a little bit, because Aeryn and John die a couple times, but then it fixes itself. Hehe. Gotta love science fiction.
