Farscape ReWatch - Women of Farscape

[shipperx]

With the long weekend I got some rewatching done. I was going to write about it, but I'm tired.

However, having just watched Durka Returns, I've got some Chiana love.

I'm so glad they introduced her. I like her anarchic spirit. I really can't imagine her not being part of the crew. Young, rebellious, and otherworldly. A little heroic and a lot selfish--she's fun.

I also wonder whether Farscape has the highest ratio of female to male characters? (I suppose that depends on whether Buffy counts as sci-fi or urban fantasy. BSG had a number of women, but it was also a fairly large cast). Farscape had a small cast that still featured Aeryn, Zhaan, Chiana, Sikozou, Noranti, and Jool (plus Grayza and a female Scarran as a Big Bads).

And of course 'the radiant Aeryn Sun...'

That tongue-in-cheek vid was wonderful. And interstingly, I don't think I've ever heard that song all the way through before. Can't say I think I missed much, but it just struck me funny.

Had you heard parts of the song? It's a gay guy & drag queen anthem . . .

Oh yes, I'd heard enough of it that if you'd asked me, I would have said I'd heard the whole thing. But in watching the video I realized I never had, which struck me both as funny and as proof of the unreliability of memory. (Or mine, anyway.)

I never buy sf show action figures -- but I bought Aeryn Sun :) . But I believe she's currently disarmed, her weapon have dropped somewhere between stacks and stacks of books . . .

Chianna is always just -- exactly right .
