# Everything about this show almost makes me mono-fannish. It definitely makes me say Super-wha?
They put in subliminal messages. Unfortunately they only seem to affect those with taste. *g*
More shows need to have these types of production values, actors, writers, everything for their multiple season runs.
Most definitely.
# I rewatched Don Quixote and am surprised as hell to find that I actually like it. I HATED it the first time through. Hated it. Something about actually knowing what the dren is going on makes it enjoyable. Stark still creeps me the hell out though. I think I feel about Stark the way most of you feel about cl****.
Psst...it's John Quixote. I've loved this episode from the moment that damn castle turret appeared! I loved the subtleties (although it was the bitch-slap of subtleties.) of it. I mean there are so many layers to it that it's unreal. I know from asking Ben in Burbank that he didn't know about the coming episodes, but you can so easily read hints of the coming episodes throughout. Especially in the sonnet. (I need to dig that out and re-post it on lj)
They're not really hints and it just shows that I have an overactive imagination (and too much time), but I like to pretend that it's forecasting the coming events.
Stark was way cool because you got to see his unvoiced frustration with John here.
# Coup de Clam. I loved that episode the first time through. Now, not so much. All filler, little substance. But Rygel acts his little green puppet heart out and John in very very ugly drag. What's not to like?
John is not ugly in the dress. He is ded sexy. of course I got a thing for good looking guys in a dress. Maybe that's it. *thinks about it* Naaw...he's just hot. ;-)
# Shrinking!! Action figure scapers.
I just like the Die Hard aspect of it all. Not a top episode for me though.
# Unrealized Reality. Katrazi gets said. We see glimpses of what happens in Terra Firma without knowing what the hell is going on (I totally saw that guy go through the wall. swear). Einstein. I still don't know whether to love him or hate him. The writers actually are way too wobbly with him. Maybe on purpose because who are we U-mans to understand the mind of an interdimensional wormhole alien. Am I right?
I love Einstein. He's such an evil bastard really. I think they did a fine job with him. He's supposed to be a new element and you're not sure what his motives are. No more than what Ancient!Jack's were.
# The surfing the wormhole in the very pretty reflective suit.
That was absolutely gorgeous!
And standing on water. Jesus Christ imagery much?
I think there's a joke somewhere by Ben about John being like Jesus because of the same initials. *giggle*
Seriously though, I sometimes still get a chill seeing that final scene in its entirety. Beautiful shot. Simple. The music dies and you're just - there - with John completely alone. He's terrified, but he keeps his mind focused on where he thinks is home. He probably didn't really see the mouth opening up beneath him. But then he's just gone.
In my opinion, the reason he ended up in front of Earth instead is because Moya isn't truly home in his mind until he says that goodbye to his dad in Bad Timing.

One of the best lines ever.
