Aeryn has never shown any romantic interst in anyone but John that he has seen. John hasnt yet had any deep and meaningful conversations with Aeryn about her past relationships. It seems baseless, especially immediately following calling her frigid, which is also awful but more believable due to difficulties Aeryn has embracing emotion and lack of role models for a heathy relationship.<br /><br />Ive always felt John and Chiana's relationship had a big brother little sister vibe from his perpective. He was a gentleman in declining her offer at the end of season one so again the idea that Crichton might contemplate raping her seems at odds with who he is.<br /><br />I doubt the writers meant for this to taint the viwers image of John so much. 19 years ago the likely male writer may have considered it not a big deal, but it bothers me that they would imply John has the latent capacity to consider rape and such disrespect for the woman he loves.<br /><br />Edit out the skank and slut lines, and the threat of rape and id like th is episode a lot more. There would still be bridges to mend but John would be a better man.<br /><br />Hard to ignore what you know is ahead, but given no one else was hallucinating just being paranoid, i wonder if this paronia weakened John's mind enough that this is actually the first appearance of you know who.<br /><br />Ok rant over.Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09661434417795768656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-85598581157216662011-11-14T22:48:06.352-05:002011-11-14T22:48:06.352-05:00I love this episode. I remember laughing through ...I love this episode. I remember laughing through it the first time I saw it. I especially love Crichton and Aeryn with the gun battle, and the way they got up Crichton with the puke paste, goggles, cape and sword. And Scorpius in the Hawaiian shirt with the margaritas. It's a terrific character development episode, too.Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-70563424470315046402011-11-14T16:28:46.924-05:002011-11-14T16:28:46.924-05:00I love (and use it often) the line from My Crichto...I love (and use it often) the line from My Crichton: "I got <i>great</i> eyes, they're better than 20/20 and they're <i>blue</i>!"<br /><br />I substitute golden brown for blue.HellBlazerRaiserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12015895593976794867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-70024294155760294122011-11-14T15:21:22.364-05:002011-11-14T15:21:22.364-05:00Ah, such good memories:
