Scorpius: I've never felt this... connected, John.
John: You're not goin' all mushy on me back there, are ya?
Taken out of context, that quote just sounds SO wrong. XD I couldn't stop myself from giggling when I heard that. Plus, the earlier scene where Scorpy is lying ontop of John with their faces only inches apart... if I didn't get immediately squicked by the thought of Scorpy and sex, I'd so be slashing them...
That said, that episode remains undoubtedly one of the best (if not the best) episodes of Farscape ever, period. It was great watching it again on UPN tonight, though I had been looking forward to the excellent double bill of 2X21 "Liars, Guns, and Money pt3: Plan B" followed by this ep (3X21 "Into the Lion's Den pt. 2: Wolf in Sheep's Clothing") but for some reason UPN decided not to air the former. -_- Still, ITLD pt2 was an utter joy to watch. Some of the best shots in the series were in that ep - Scorpius standing on the stairs, and the last scene between him and John. Both are beautifully directed by Rowan Woods, who never disappoints in his directing - his direction of 3X17 "The Choice" is probably the best in the series, though this ep comes close. This episode just had everything, and was such a perfect encapsulation of the entire show to that point. I remember being shocked that there was still the season finale to come after it, because how the hell could they top it? Still prefer this ep to the next, but the next is great too for different reasons. FS tends to have the big action storyline wrap up in the episodes leading up to the season finale, then the finale is more of a conclusion. Different from how most shows do it.
I've been so into Oz recently, I almost forgot how brilliant this show is. But damn, that episode is incredible. Quite possibly one of the best hours of television I've ever seen, which is saying something.
Next week, the season 2 finale followed by the season 3 finale. And this time I double-checked the TV guide to make sure they'll both be on. Ooh yeah, I'm looking forward to the s2 finale...

farscape_weekly... cool, how'd that happen? Oh well, thanks to whoever did so though I hadn't really meant it to be read by anyone other than my friends... always thought my LJ was pretty isolated cause I rarely post to comms. I feel self-conscious now. ^^;
