h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hiya
I saw you online and I thought I`d stop by and say hi
I see you watched the last episode-it was so brilliant....and boy! DID I CRY AT THE END OF IT!

Oh, so very much.

Genius from beginning to end. And the way the whole gang worked together to see through John's plan!John recording his final tape!And John's call home from the moon!

It was the perfect ending to the show. But I don't want it to end! I want to know what happens next! Cus I don't believe the John and Aeryn are really dead. The three (five?) eyed guy in the ship was told to 'neutralise them for further study', and it's rather difficult to do a detailed study after you blown them into little bits, so something else must be happening! And I want to know what!

Life is definately emptier without the show.


Geggs

I think so too
Maybe they made another clone of themselves or something
I hope Gianna sees again...poor girl..
She won`t see who shes ing.

Doubt that would stop her! I think she will see again, either that our her powers could change again (and we never really found out why they changed at the start of the last season, but there you go) and see could go all Daredevil-like, with a kind of radar and whatnot. That could be interesting.

Theres still some un-resolved plotlines as well. Rygel hasn't got his throne back, Stark doesn't seem to have found Zhaan, the Nabari war is still waiting to happen - and now that the Scarrens have been sidelined by the loss of their flowers, and the crew have a truce with the peacekeepers, either the Nabari or the race that shot at John and Aeryn would be the next major bad. And the Nabari are a very major bad. Peacekeepers would stand a chance against the Nabs.

The one big plot has been resolved though. John can never go home again. But I don't think he wants to anymore anyway.


Geggs

He wants to do the romantic thing and stay in space with Aeryn

Or wanted to anyway

That's a main thing yeah, but at the same time, he has changed a lot in the last four years. So has the Earth. The two don't really fit together anymore.

He would be constantly out-of-place here. But he seems to have found a home over there.

He's happy.


Geggs

Thats good then
But sometimes they have grown closer

Loved John's reaction when Aeryn finally told him that the fetus is unlocked, and that it's his.

Stands up shouting "Frell you!" at the universe in general, and everyone that has tried to kill him in particular.


Geggs

Darn right

And the rest of the crew were trying to figure out what he was doing

Chi:"Didn't you watch any of those movies on television when we are on Earth? He just proposed."
D:"Proposed what?"
Chi:"Marriage!"
Ryg:"Marriage? Fool!"

Classic bit of Farscape dialogue, that.


Geggs

I loved it
But cried uncontrolably when Cryton and Aeryn died

It was marvelously romantic though. Dying in each other arms, knowing that they were going to die, and ultimately not caring, but they already have everything they want - each other.

Deeply

Geggs

Very deeply

That is exactly what I said in the ~drool~ thread on Sho's page.

The ending was ~so~ romantic.

What better way to die than in your lovers arms, kissing and just agreeing to marry.

Much better than having the kid, hubby bagging off, getting divorced and raising the brat on your own.

I never went to all the Farscape gossip threads so I didn't know the ending, and boy was I surprised, shocked and but then afterwards I thought, they couldn't have ended it any other way.

I still feel empty though.

Guess I'll have to make do with re-runs on the sci-fi channel; {Tues, Weds, Thurs, 1pm & 8pm}

I total agree. It was totally the best way to end it.

A friend of mine was disappointed that you didn't see what happened to any of the other characters, but that's not the point really.

The main story, the big story, is over. John's quest to get home is gone. He can, now, never go home. And that quest has been the whole point of the last four years.

And what do you see in the very last minute of the show? Something new. Life moves on. Nothing stays the same. The universe continually changes. There is always something new. And you can never see a conclusive end.

Real class.


Geggs

*pines for the Sci-Fi Channel*

*joins daSilva in his pining*

*continues on to oaking and beeching*

(Sorry, I've gone all silyl this evening)


Geggs

Don't you have the sci-fi channel?

Get yourselves Cable TV, it's quite cheap, much better than terrestrial tv.

*hopes no BBC bigwigs are reading*

I would but (a) it's not up to me and (b) I finish work on Friday so really, really can't afford it
