Agreed. Maybe on the way she'll come to her senses, say, "What the frell am I doing?" and turn around. Even if she wasn't doing the Resistance thing, why leave John, Aeryn, and Moya?
Well, Spooky just said, "She needs to go somewhere to grieve." And I suppose that makes sense. Chiana's not the same person she was two seasons ago when she was so determined to find Nerri. But she'll be back...
Now that I think about it, I suppose one of the things that make Crichton and Aeryn so fascinating as heroes is that in they're desperate and deadly state, they aren't as incredibly stupid as real life people in the same situation tend to be. They actually are heroes. Not because they're never tempted to lose nobility, but because they have it to lose. And the fact that they don't lose it is also nice.
Well said.
I felt this was where the miniseries naturally needed to go, all along. I knew this from the way all the hero characters kept thinking the Eidolons were gonna be the best answer. No way was it gonna go, "John sees pretty Eidolon/John shows pretty Eidolon to Mama Scarran and Daddy Peacekeeper/Mama and Papa stop fighting." And with the idea set up towards the end of the 4th season that terrible, deadly violence was the only path to victory for the desperate, I had not only a pretty good idea they'd get to the climax they got to, I also hoped they would. Which is a really nice trick.

I thought so.
