I acquired all four seasons of the Farscape Illustrated Companion (do they do stuff like that any more?) and while unfortunately all the photos are grainy black and white, I'm enjoying seeing some shots I haven't before. I found a few other versions of this "Crais with unbound hair" still on the web, but I had to colorize the one from the book anyway. Isn't he a romance book cover?
I'm normally not sailing ships with Bialar except for when I really need the deep angst, but I think Lani Tupu was is quite a handsome man and the hair! Dreamy.

One thing I really like about John Crichton is that he is 100% willing to kill anyone that tries to kill him, his ex-fascist lady love, his not-a-Klingon platonic life partner, his blue mom, his blue stepdaughter, his aristocratic Muppet frenemy, his blue tentacled Muppet pal or the giant whale starship they all travel in, especially if that person is Captain Ahab in space or a half-lizard leather fetishist space Nazi.

Screencapped the Hidden Memory moment between Aeryn and Crais:
I love how Aeryn is rubbing this moment in Crais's face, he was the reason why she's no longer a Peacekeeper and the turn tables. Now he's in the horrific Aurora Chair.
This. Moment.
"Your oath means nothing to me! You made sure of that. You destroyed everything. I lost everything because of you! Do you know what I learned when I was away from you? Everything I lost isn't worth a damn. And I don't want to go back to your past."
Claudia Black is so good. (I wish Jeri Ryan and Claudia Black were in a show or movie together).
But also I'm so glad Aeryn got to say this to Crais, I love how Aeryn realized how everything she held up on a pedestal wasn't worth anything, that it was only worth dust.
(What if, what if Seven and Aeryn met? What if???)
And then Aeryn leaves Crais on the chair after putting the Aurora Chair on full blast. And I love that.

Talyn, you've seen both of them naked. Perhaps you can tell us who's bigger.

Farscape using the death of John Crichton to further the arc of his foil, Bialar Crais, is one of the most ingenious pieces of writing I've ever seen.
Crais's hatred of Crichton was his defining relationship in the first season of Farscape, and while it's clear that he really does come to forgive Crichton, Crichton never really trusts Crais. Then, as the series progresses, he sees that Crichton is a Good Man, brave and clever and self-sacrificing, one Crais comes to respect despite their differences.
But Crais never gains that trust or friendship from Crichton. Crais has lost the trust and respect of one of the best men he's ever known. He'll never be John's friend or confidant, merely an ally of necessity, someone John keeps around because he's needed.
Then, as Crichton dies, he tells Crais that he knows that there's goodness, maybe even greatness, in Crais, and that Crais needs to find it to protect everyone else. He has the respect of a man he hunted for a year, a great man, but only in the last minutes of that man's life.
And it's the perfect example of everything Farscape can be. Heartfelt and moving and full of emotion and one of the best-written pieces of television ever made.
I hope the show does something amazing with this moment.
