Saw the preview for Farscape #24...
...and I realized I'm hoping Chiana dies. Which would be sad, but not nearly as sad as her free will and dignity being stripped away, her having literally no choice in who she has sex with (isn't that called rape?), her being suddenly, slavishly devoted to Nebari ideals, and no one giving a shit or thinking this might be odd, or of some concern.
Alive she will continue to be used and abused and alternately ignored and maligned. Dead she will be a free spirit, with Zhaan, D'Argo, Jool, and Sikozu for company.
Huh. Maybe her death at this point wouldn't be sad at all.

But then, when I watch eps these days, they often dont seem like FS either, although to nothing like the same extent as the comics. I think in some ways FS has become some fan-thing with a life outside of canon to me now.
Hey ho. I feel like the whole thing seems to have run out of steam, with a small group of fans talking to themselves in a rapidly dwindling group.
I tried to write something more detailed and longer in reply, but none of it quite worked.

From what you write it would seem that comic characterization has spared no one, and that Chi is only the last in a long list of victims. I had such high hopes for the comics, since they seemed to have taken the place of the now-mythical webisodes, but those hopes are beyond wilted.
Farscape is a show that gave me much, both directly and indirectly, and at this point I prefer that it remains as it is, with its 88 episodes and final mini-series. No further additions, no "extreme measures", thank you very much.
*sigh*

I know it's ridiculous but my Scaper heart has broken a little today...sorry for venting, Arevhat!
And even though I know what ADS mean about dwindling number of fans, I have also heard of so many people who are watching the show for the first time only now or recently and absolutely love it..so many missed opportunities to leave a great show alone or maybe one day revive it properly as it justly deserves!
That's it I promise I will stop moaning now...maybe I will rewatch Crackers Don't Matter to cheer myself up a little..

I think this situation just goes to show how precious collaboration is in a tv show. Writers, directors, set designers, costumers, actors...all that combined gives us the wonder of the shows. The comics just show how when there is only one person involved, things fall by the wayside.
I would imagine that the actors had a huge influence on how their characters were written. That influence is sadly lacking in the comics.

On the comics - I haven't check the preview for this one but yeah, Chiana characterization had no sense at all to me from the beginning. And especially when she run away to this guy who wanted to kidnap Deke? I read comics to know more or less what's going on since it's supposed to be canon but it's rather less and less to me. And Aeryn being into religion? Complete absurd for me. I'm not also very fond of stories where Aeryn or John become some kind of leaders in the future, it happens sometimes in future fics (for PKs or Earth interstellar forces, whatever). It can be well executed, yes and it happened it some really great fanfics but it makes me uneasy. I just can't see them in that context.

I guess that’s something you can expect from somebody who resolves the years long plot of galaxy coming to the brink of devastation by everyone praying. If that's all it took, then why couldn’t that have been done when the invasion just started, saving billions of lives, destroying good characters, and reading this half a@@#$ attempt at a plot.
