It was the only thing that really earned the big emotion every other couple minutes in the mini-series was desperately aiming for.
Same here. It was one of the only things in the mini that made we say wow, which, of course, was one of the things Farscape was always best at.
I also sort of liked the internal politics among the Scarrans, though the peace-making eidolon thing was incredibly silly.
Yep, and yep. I saw no point in complicating the plot with the Eidolons (sp?), and hated the "Peacekeepers are really transplanted humans" reveal.
That scene was humping my leg and I just wanted it to stop.
Well said.
Utterly superfluous. That I feel that way about it makes me wonder if I'm just not clued in on the whole parenthood thing, but it made two bad things in my mind; it felt like a meaningless grab for tension, when we're already adequately worried about Crichton and Aeryn, and it also destroyed any of the tension between Crichton and Aeryn.
Exactly. And yeah, the whole baby thing, I know it made the "shippers" happy and all, and naming him D'argo was kind of nice, but otherwise "bleh." At the very least, they could have gone through with one the the teases where we almost had Rygel and then Chi (or was it the other way round) have to carry and birth the child. Of course, we know that if I'd been writing the story, Aeryn would have miscarried and then died to save everyone...or something or the sort.
