Have you seen any of Fringe S4 yet? I can hook you up if you want

Oh, thank you very much *flower* , but I'm ok. I have the episodes but I just haven't started watching them yet. I need a free weekend where I can morph into an amoeba in front of the tv and catch up :-)


As for Chiana's characterization - or lack thereof - it's only one of the sore points of the comics: all characters are totally *wrong* (maybe, just maybe Rygel is the only one close to his "true" self). I understand that the comics medium does not allow for depth and psychological introspection, but in this case they have taken each character's most superficial details and exaggerated them into a caricature of the people we loved to watch on screen. So we we were presented a slang-spouting Crichton, a gun-wielding Aeryn, a whoring Chiana, and so on and on and on... Even Scorpius - the UT's mastermind, the person who could out-think and out-smart practically everyone - at some point becomes a victims of his own schemes and is turned into a minion of the invading bad aliens. Please!!

If the comics story-arc must be considered a continuation of the Farscape time-line, I don't like what that particular universe has been turned into. I bought the comics partly because I wanted to show support to a continuation of Farscape in some form, but they turned out to be something else for me as a fanfic writer: they represent the kind of stories, the kind of characters, I *don't* want to write.
Hey, that's something positive after all, isn't it? *VEG*



On the plus side, the comics have made me think much more favorably of PKW

Blessed be the Divine Eternal, then! :-D :-D
