I need a free weekend where I can morph into an amoeba in front of the tv and catch up :-)
Fingers crossed it's soon! I'm very pleased with the season so far although it's a different, less intense experience, watching it week to week instead of mainlining it.
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.
That's a very succinct way to put it (you have such a way with words!) and exactly my problem with it. Everything else is just details.
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*
That it is =D And hopefully we will be enjoying your stories, and their universe, for many years to come.
I had more typed out here, but it wasn't making any sense - I think it's time for me to log off tonight :)
