#Farscape reactions

[karasbroken]

A couple weeks ago I shared a patreon for a Farscape recap podcast I really love (go sign up, Bizarre Podcast: Space Puppets is great!). Today I thought I'd call folks' attention to a video reaction channel currently doing a Farscape watch, Funny Lil Gal.

This lady is a big nerd who loves "space shit" and has just started Season 2 of Farscape. She's high energy, a little sarcastic, and very in love with Moya, Pilot, John and the rest of the crew. She likes to cry and jump and get emotional, and it's fun to share in her energy, excitement, anger, befuddlement as she watches for the first time.

For folks who hate it, I need to warn you that she watches the early Season 1 episodes in the wrong order, but she gets told this, so she doesn't switch the order, but she does account for it. I think it tints her feelings about some episodes, but it doesn't ruin anything. She definitely has different reactions to some episodes than what is typical for the fan base (she liked Jeremiah Crichton but not A Human Reaction!) but that's part of the fun of reaction channels, getting someone else's perspective.

She's a very positive reactor, she wants to love everything and enjoy the show, so no worries here about your favorite episode getting bashed. My personal delight is that she usually doesn't like main characters getting shipped together by the show, but she can't resist John/Aeryn and has already started complaining about "Farscape edging" as they let the characters come together, but only briefly before backing off. The show never wanted to be a "will they or won't they" thing, but the when and how sure was in doubt, and I think edging is the perfect term. I'm really really really looking forward to how she deals with the LATP episodes, coming up soonish.

New edited reaction episodes drop most Friday mornings, and the vids are well produced, very sharp and professional. Angela is a prolific reactor, mostly sci fi TV, so if you like her style, there's plenty of other reaction collections to enjoy while waiting for the next Farscape episode, like Dr. Who, BSG, and The Expanse. If, like me, you get impatient, or you want to put Farscape on and then see her reactions in real-time, she also has a patreon that I'll link below. The $5 tier is probably what you'll want, getting episodes one to two weeks early and full length reactions for play alongs, for all her past and current shows.

Check her out, and support new Farscape content creators in 2024 and beyond!

This made me laugh so hard I cried. "Everyone knows the best way to have no strings attached sex is when you're already in love with each other". "Nobody sleeps with Aeryn, not even me! *game pieces go flying*"

Oh those idiots. This show.

Farscape: A Human Reaction

[freckleslikestars]

We needed a human reaction, John. Your reaction.

Oh my god Aeryn and Pilot really DO understand each other better than anyone else ever could, they're trauma bonded they're friends they're both filled with self loathing about their pasts but they'll get through it together 😭 🖤

I’m a little over halfway into Farscape season 1. I’m convinced now that this show was created because the creators thought the sci-fi genre wasn’t sexy/lewd enough.

I mean…one character had an orgasm from exposure to sunlight. John and D’Argo had wet dreams induced through alien mind control. The very necessary scene where Aeryn confirmed she was wearing John’s underwear by reading the Calvin Klein tag. John and Aeryn nearly having sex because they thought they were gonna die.

It’s gotten to the point where every scene is now coming off as, “this feels a bit sexual”. For example, there was a scene where John was feeding Chiana through the cell doors. It was just eating food, but the way Chiana was eating it felt suggestive.

this came to me in a vision

[dougielombax]

Hmmmm…..

Could be distant relatives perhaps, methinks.

No?

Idk.

It’s just a thought.

Feel free to reblog if you wish.

It looks like a bunch of Farscape DVD commentaries are gone from Dailymotion!! 😭

I was able to rewatch the one that Ben and Claudia did for A Human Reaction, though, and at one point Ben notices that he’d had a bruise on his arm that day of filming from when he was surfing 😂 and now I’m going to notice it every time lol

rewatching b5 really reminding me how much sheridan and delenn are john and aeryn's godparents. you do get the sense that the farscape writers watched b5 and were like. okay interesting. now what if we made the love story hornier, gayer, and also emotional torture. and they were so powerful for that.

listen sometimes. sometimes you just gotta post images of your guy.

[gaygollum]

sometimes a silly tv show you began on a whim one day utterly devastates you .
