God, I got so upset when they started to leave Scorpius behind on that space station but I was not expecting the return of Harvey as conceptualized by John as Dracula. When Scorpius started telling that freighter captain half of the truth about John and his usefulness to the Scarran empire I was like hmm! Okay! Willing to put his life in further jeopardy because you're just that confident you'll get him out of it, huh? But no, he was putting his own life in jeopardy because he knew he'd be able to get John to come rescue him. In an episode built around rescuing Aeryn. Really completely and totally insane how this keeps happening. And it's not even like it's out-of-universe writing choices alone that keeps drawing this parallel between Aeryn and Scorpius, in both cases (Scorpius returning Aeryn to Moya in the heat suit and Scorpius forcing a rescue of himself immediately after the rescue of Aeryn) these are choices Scorpius is making in-universe. Insane. Scorpius putting himself in a position where John has to treat him with equal weight as Aeryn has fundamentally changed me as a person.
#farscape#ESPECIALLY because like. john explicitly SAID he didn't care about what scorpius cares about.#he SAID he didn't care if the scarrans or the peacekeepers ended up with wormhole knowledge. and scorpius' entire plan for being rescued#hinges on that not being true or on john caring enough about him to come save him#john trying to pretend scorpius doesn't know him better than almost anyone. wanting that not to be true. but it is.#also i just love when somebody whose entire self concept is predicated on being powerful and independent puts themself in a position#where they have to assume someone else is going to save them.#like that's not something that can be ducked around by being willing to suffer a string of indignities to get what you want.#anyway. scorpius is in love with john.#john/scorpius tag
