I watched My Three Crichtons after that gifset that I reblogged earlier, and John and Aeryn have such a ~vibe~ in that episode??? Like, what is going on and why did I never notice it before?

Also, this came after Out of Their Minds where some fans think they slept together after her “you were in my shoes, I was in your pants 😏” line.

They must have been on drugs while making some of these Farscape episodes. And the good stuff to boot.

#farscape #farscapeedit #john crichton #aeryn sun #bialar crais #gif warning #mine #i love all of this #but i particularly think it's telling of the pk lifestyle that crais has no idea how to process this affection #like he's watching a love story unfold and-- out of all the messed-up narratives in this show-- THAT makes him uncomfortable #it's very good worldbuilding when you consider what season 2's flashbacks show usof aeryn's love life

#farscape #crais #this is. minorly spoilery don't watch it if you aremt done season 2 👍🏻

The casual intimacy of Farscape is beautiful. They complain about each other in one episode and then cuddle in the next episode. Rygel sells out the crew in a finale, then tries to redeem himself (sorta) but he and Zhaan were adversarial still (and the latter was dissociated and indifferent to him); two episodes later she's giving him a foot massage because he froze his puppet feet when he was blocking the depressurizing Moya with his body (he did Not do that willingly)! They still aren't Friends and she probably still thinks he's foul but at that moment they were celebrating?

And John, dammit he literally has sexual tension with the whole damn crew. Kissed Rygel on the mouth twice, had weird alien-metaphorical-mind-sex with Zhaan, cuddles/chills with Aeryn, has palpable tension with D'Argo, and him and pilot have a fondness for each other! Not even talking about Chiana, who's sexuality is both Very pronounced but also definitely has stuff she's going through.

Also love how this show does exposition. He's the only human and instead of being the civilizer trope he's just some science dude. He (and the audience) doesn't know anything about these alien cultures (and micro-cultures! This show has gddamn alien micro-cultures and genetic diversity!!! It's not all Planet of Same Alien Same Suits!!) and whenever he makes assumptions the show calls him out. He didn't know Zhaan was a plant-based life form and assumed similar biology, she just kind of assumed he knew. The show does seem to keep with the male/female binary that is also common, but it did seem to play with fucking with the "corresponding" genders in some species - even it was played for a cis-heteronormative laugh. (It was a bad episode, would have to rewatch comment)

Zhaan's bi-ness is also interesting, not sure how it's being portrayed quite yet. The "I love you" to Aeryn scene was odd, and the back-and-forth about what that "love" meant was fascinating. Didn't seem to be making light of potential feelings but more that: Aeryn doesn't feel that way and Zhaan was using that weird usage of "love" to rationalize distancing herself from the Moyacule

THE MOYACULE

#my theories #only one friend watches farscape so I ramble here #more people watch farscape!!! #farscape #only in season 2 episode 2 so far

We should be in a place where we can trust one another. I think you're holding something back. Look me in the eye. Look me in the eye. Tell me - that I'm wrong.

FARSCAPE | 2.01 Mind the Baby

#I dont know if I'm misreading this #but I've always read Aeryn's hesitation before her 'just the once' as a very loud subconscious confession of how she felt. #like as a pk there's not really much shame or embarrassment surrounding recreation - you might not shout about it from the rooftops #but I've always gotten the impression that they're not prudish or overly secretive about it either - its life. it happens. #but then here she's shy and coy about it - almost embarrassed that John is bringing it up in front of D'Argo #and it makes me think that she doesn't view their night on the fake earth as just recreation - its something she treasures #even if she doesn't quite understand why yet #and so its a much more private thing that John has just brought up #and so she hesitates. #she also probably picks up on how shy and prudish John can be about sex sometimes #and so is hesitant about him bringing it up so blatantly in front of D #my gifs #farscape gifs #farscape #john x aeryn #mind the baby #farscape season 2 #farscape edits #john crichton #aeryn sun #claudia black #ben browder #how many times have you and i been close

I was watching the 3-part Liars, Guns, and Money episodes of Farscape, and i feel so differently about John and Aeryn in these episodes (or really about Aeryn’s feelings for John and their relationship).

When they’re at the shadow depository and he’s got the Scorpius clone in his head basically tormenting him, and Aeryn grabs him and pushes him against the wall and is like “what’s wrong with you?” And he grabs her face and kisses her hard, and she sort of shoves him off and says “what is the matter?” I’d always felt like she was shoving him because she didn’t want him to be kissing her. But actually if she didn’t want him kissing her, she could have backed away. He was the one with his back against the wall. She pushed him back (but keeps her hands against his chest) so that she could ask what was going on. It was less of a “why are you kissing me?” And more like what she actually said- she wanted to know what was happening to him.

A minute or two after that, he says “I need to tell you how I feel.” And she’s like “No, you don’t.” And he says, “Yes I do.” And she says “NO, you don’t.” But she has a softer tone. And I had always felt like she was saying that she didn’t want him to tell her because she didn’t want to hear it. But I realized that she was basically saying that he didn’t have to tell her because she already knows.

And then you get that moment at the end of the episode where he says “I meant what I said… or didn’t say.” And she pulls his head over to rest on her shoulder and says “I know.”

Idk, I guess by that point I’d been so used to her being afraid to be vulnerable and let him know how she feels that I took it wrong what she was actually saying in this episode. Especially after the Look at the Princess episodes earlier that season, where they basically admitted to their feelings in a roundabout way, but Aeryn wouldn’t actually face her feelings head-on and it was really angsty between them in that episode.

I remember making a gifset of this, drawing a parallel between this moment and the moment in the ep where Talyn-John dies and she pushes him up against his module bc he won’t tell her what was wrong and then he grabs her face and kisses her.

I’m going to find that gifset and reblog it.

someone did not just rb one of my sets saying s2 is objectively the worst season of farscape, like what kind of brain rot does it take...

#* #first of all farscape doesn't have a worst season #second of all if it did it DEFINITELY wouldn't be season 2 #i overlook a lot of bad takes but i'm truly mad about this one #don't talk to me or my perfect mental illness season ever again

[fibrefox]

My partner and I have been watching Farscape. And even though tonight's episode brought me to tears repeatedly, this moment to pause was so perfect

Found this from when I needed a picture of John seeing Earth for the first time when he accidentally goes back and I was gonna post it making fun of the 0 thoughts nothingness behind his eyes but you know what I take it back a thousand times I take it back I'm so sorry for real. There is untold depths of emotion present here in his goofy fucking face. Far too much for a simple man such as myself to comprehend

#seriously just found this on my laptop didnt mean 2 be thinking about farscape tonight i just ugh. literally still havent recovered from th #this #for real if i think about it too long i go insane. still #to structure the whole series around his single goal to find his way back to earth #to slowly move away from that as the story goes on and evolves and gets more intricate and john #gets tangled up in things far greater than he ever intended to #and then JUST when so much time had passed just when you go long enough without a mention of any plan or scheme to get home #head full of all these other plotlines WHAM. hes home again #but THE STORY DOESN'T END THERE. LIKE U ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WOULD #it CANT #its still the middle of the season #he goes home after all this time but ITS TOO LATE. and he really does try but he knows amd we all know its too late #and he leaves with the vague promise that he'll come back again but we know we know hes leaving forever #we know #farscape #john crichton #sir i protest i am not a merry man

Farscape premiered on Sci-Fi Channel on 19 March 1999. Starring Ben Browder, Claudia Black, Virginia Hey, Anthony Simcoe, Gigi Edgley, Lani John Tupu, Jonathan Hardy, Tammy Macintosh, and Wayne Pygram, the show ran for four seasons and concluded with a two-part miniseries in 2004.

Opening and Closing Themes for Seasons 1 and 2 (by Braedy Neal) and Seasons 3 and 4 (by Guy Gross)

"My name is John Crichton, an astronaut. A radiation wave hit and I got shot through a wormhole. Now I'm lost in some distant part of the universe on a ship – a living ship, full of strange alien life forms. Help me. Listen, please. Is there anybody out there who can hear me? I'm being hunted by an insane military commander. I’m doing everything I can. I'm just looking for a way home..."

Happy 25th Anniversary, Farscape! 💖

On a more serious note, now that I’m halfway into Farscape season 1, I can’t help but think about Peter Quill/Star-Lord from “Guardians of the Galaxy” being a lesser John Crichton. Because, as I’ve written before, James Gunn was so obviously inspired by Farscape:

1) John and Peter are the good ole American protagonists who were taken to deep space against their will. They connect with people through pop culture references and their good heart.

2) Aeryn Sun and Gamora are the stone cold warriors who used to fight for the bad guys but are now on the side of good. They also have a romance with John/Peter.

3) Ka D’Argo and Drax are the proud warriors who are seeking to redeem themselves. They also are so stiff that references and simple sayings go over their heads.

4) Rygel is sorta kinda like Rocket Raccoon in that they’re the scheming loudmouths who look out for themselves.

5) Pilot and Groot fulfill the role of the lovable support character who helps everyone in the crew.

6) Zotoh Zhaan doesn’t have a perfect GOTG counterpart, but I really do feel that James Gunn split her traits between Nebula (who got the rage and tragic backstory) and Mantis (who got the mind powers).

Anyways, back to the main point. While Peter Quill does come off as a John clone, I think the way John’s arc was handled was superior to the way Peter was written. I think the main reason is that I can see why John would be his crew’s leader (or, at least, the crewmate keeping everything together) while Peter feels like he’s the leader because the plot says he should be.

John starts off as the goofball who can’t do anything right. No one trusts him and they think of him as the idiot who they just keep around. But as season 1 goes on, you can tell that he’s the glue who’s keeping the crew together. He’s the crewmate who got everyone to open up, especially Aeryn (who was trained to be cold and emotionless) and D’Argo (who distrusts everyone because of his traumatic past). He’s like that one friend who you feel like you can talk to about anything, especially since everyone else in the crew is dealing with their own problems.

So when we get to the episode where John is ready to leave, it makes sense that everyone feels hesitant to see him go. Aeryn is starting to fall for him, he was one of the few people who D’Argo would consider a friend, he helped Zhaan through some of her toughest times, and he generally got along with Rygel.

As for Peter Quill, I’m not saying he was badly written. It’s just him being treated as the team’s leader is not as believable. It’s like, imagine if John Crichton was written to be as emotionally closed off and standoffish as everyone else in the crew. While this does make Peter stand out as his own character separate from John, it also makes you wonder why Quill was written as the team’s leader. I’m sure that’s why it was a recurring gag that Quill was always struggling to be seen as the leader, whether it was from Rocket or Thor. The writers knew that wasn’t 100% believable, so they wrote it into the story.

I don’t get that with John. He might be the resident goofball, but he’s also why the crew hasn’t fallen apart.

TL;DR Peter Quill/Star-Lord was obviously modeled after John Crichton. But the MCU character who feels more in line with John as a character is Clint Barton/Hawkeye.
