Logitech Keltech

Just started this series and only 4 episodes in, so still kinda getting into it. Recently rewatched sg1 and sg atlantis and figured it was about time I give this a go. So my favorite thing the Logitech ball mouse used for manual control of the ship. šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚šŸ˜†šŸ¤£. However, the writing is good so far and action sequences/se are as expected, but still a bit comical. Iā€™m hoping it becomes a bit more cohesive/immersive, seems slightly detached or something.

edit: Peltek, the name of the helm/steering controls on a goaā€™uld ship

If people are injected at birth with translator microbes, how do they learn a language to speak?

Itā€™s a dumb question considering Iā€™m a fan of a couple decades, but I wonder what the logical scientific answer is.

The genuine tenderness Scorpius has towards John is so compelling

Like seriously I don't think he even really resents Crichton at any point. He sees him as a rival at worst and an affectionate one at that. Part of why he's so terrifying is that he's so goal oriented that he's capable of tormenting someone he genuinely enjoys.

He doesn't actually care about his own feelings. I think he sees himself as only an instrument through which his goal of wiping out the scarrans. I have a personal headcanon that he's pretty dramatically underpaid by the peacekeepers because of his half-scarranness and he doesn't think he deserves more money.

I also think his whole dedication to revenge is just a coping mechanism and he's self aware enough to know it's unhealthy but he doesn't care because it makes him more useful to the peacekeepers. Basically he sees being useful to protecting subacians as his only redemption.

Being all kinky and sexy is also a coping mechanism... Looking closely at his suit it seems to be designed with a partner's pleasure in mind (textured codpiece, spooning enhancer at the back, generally sexy outfit). He's a service Dom and nobody can tell me otherwise. But basically I think his tendencies towards altruism and masochistic pleasure are linked.

The main reason why I dislike the relationship between Scorpius and Sikozu is because they bonded over hating scarrans. Like I personally think that the core of her attraction to him was objectification. And I mean he totally got off on being an object to her but that's not healthy dude... Sir please go back to wizard therapy.

Tldr: Scorpius's masochistic tendencies are directly linked to his ruthlessness. Also he knows revenge is a coping mechanism.

When was the first time Aeryn called John by his first name instead of Crichton?

Just trying to remember when it was- anybody know? And by calling him by his first name, I mean in conversation with him, not when naming him to somebody else if that makes sense?

It's playing on Twitch on repeat

There's a channel that plays all kinds of things. They started with just Beavis and Butthead, then branched out to all kinds of old MTV shows. The last time it got shut down and came back, it's only been playing Farscape. Channel name is ShoutTV.

Reference to Pilot in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3?

Bio-mechanical entity, several arms to handle the ship's controls, round console...

I just saw this at 1:45:03 in the movie.
I immediately thought this looked very much like Pilot, and having spotted a very on-the-nose reference to Star Wars a few minutes earlier, I wanted to check. [Another post](https://www.reddit.com/r/farscape/comments/cigu93/is\_guardians\_of\_the\_galaxy\_inspired\_by\_the/) revealed that "Of all TV shows, Farscape was the one that influenced Guardians the most."

Whaddaya think?

Scorpius from Farscape is sexy

I have yet to discover someone else who has a crush on Scorpius from Farscape, so I'm putting this out there for any future strange teenage girl to find and relate to. The leather straps squeezing his thighs are super sexy. His eyes in the second episode he shows up in are entrancing, because it's dark in the lab and his pupils are beautifully dilated. he has nice shoes and his growls are a major turn on. Plus we all love a man with power.

Farscape reaction videos

I've been watching Farscape reaction videos on Youtube with Funnylilgalreacts.

She's still early in the show but does a really good job of reacting to it + recapping.

In her last video, she mentioned how much she LOVES Farscape and will continue reacting to it even though it gets the lowest views out of all shows she reviews.

I then realized her other shows (which are nowhere near as good as Farscape) have like 3-5 times more views per video. That made me sad. I really wish more people would watch as its an epic ride.

If you haven't already, check out her Farscape review vids. If you also have friends who are Farscape (or scifi) fans, feel free to share the link. Would like to see more Farscape content online and more people involved.

ā€¦ this show is on drugsā€¦ but like.. in a good way? Love, love,love the different races, character design and puppetry of Dominar Rigel XVI is šŸ’Æ Also is it just me or did Ka Dā€™Argo inspire Khal Drogo at all? - oddly enough the first GOT book came out 3 months after the first airing of Farscape which is cool.

Come back when you get your story straight.

What do you think John meant when he said this to Aeryn in the episode ā€œPromisesā€?

Fourth ?? time watching

I've just finished watching Farscape again. It always leaves me a little sad. John and Aeryn seem happy for the time being, but so isolated on board Moya.

John has forced peace on people who didn't really want it. Treaties are made to be broken. How is this one any different?

And even if the Peacekeeper/Scarren treaty holds, what about the Nebari? They seem to have a viable plan for taking over the galaxy. The Nebari plot line seems to have been dropped.
