Farscape Episode 2.03: “Taking the Stone”

[chavalah.livejournal.com]

I probably like (even love) this episode more than most of the fandom. It’s the first Chiana-centric one since she arrived in “Nerve.” We get some interesting backstory, and some great character beats between Chiana and John, Chiana and Aeryn and John and Aeryn.

That being said, when you write the episode about the teenage species of space, it’s always going to look at least a little ridiculous. :P They were interesting, though, for how they reflected Chiana’s views of life. Ultimately the weakest parts were Rygel’s bits, in a B story that was predictable, hokey and didn’t add anything to the over-arching story.
