annundrielMaybe I'm just confused, but I'm sitting here watching "Home" and something doesn't make sense to me. Actually, there are a couple of things that don't make sense to me, but whatever.
But before that, randomly, it's interesting (not really) that one of Sheppard's friends (dead) is named "Dex."
Anyway, so we don't really get to see a lot of Ford's make-believe world in this episode, but when we do see him, he's upset that he's been given new orders. He tells McKay that he received them while he was seeing his parents.
I thought Ford was raised by his grandparents? Which has always implied to me that his parents are dead, but I suppose maybe they could just be not around anymore in the sense of they're kind of dead-beat. Or somehow it was just best for Ford to live with his grandparents, kind of putting parents in a bad light.
Although here it says that Ford says goodbye to his parents, which I think is incorrect. It happens. Because during "Letters From Pegasus," Ford says that he could tell his grandma what he's been up to. And then in "Intruder," Ford's cousin doesn't want Sheppard to talk to his grandparents. All implying that Ford's parents aren't alive.
So, either Ford's parents are alive and it's just been in his best interest to be raised by his grandparents and have nothing to do with his parents, including relatives not informing them of his being missing. Or Ford was having a nice little make-believe cup of tea with his make-believe newly-alive parents because he's missed them all his life (aw). Or, and sadly probably most likely, the writer messed up.
Personally, I'd like to think that it was the glowy-mist-aliens screwing up and Ford having his cup of tea with his parents. Because I'm a big sap like that.
I miss Ford after watching season one episodes. :(
It's not the best episode ever, is it? But it's got its moments. DH's delivery of "Dead people. What were you doing?" kills me. The genius t-shirt. John's reaction to Hammond's approval. John figuring out how long it would take to get to the planet by puddlejumper. "I may require some assitance." "Major?" "Lieutenant?" "Yes, sir." Ford's reaction to McKay's listing of his many qualifications. (I like the DHD scene because of the role it eventually plays in "Lost Boys.")
Anyway, I probably just shouldn't ask questions regarding Stargate. It's best just to watch the show and enjoy it.
And now Mr. Sheffield is on SG-1. Weird.

Natasha and I have been making lists of things that make us happy because she's not sure how Thanksgiving is going to go for her. If it gets too weird/trying, she's supposed to call me and we'll talk about things that make us grin/smile/act silly. And, because I don't really have a life, I thought I'd do the fannish things that make me happy. Natasha pushed the pictures. So, first of all, Farscape. The one show I rarely read fanfiction for because it's darn near perfect. Specifically, though, for this list-thing, John and Aeryn.
On the various shows I watch and in the various fanfiction I read, I'm not really a true OTPer. Except for in Farscape. There it will always be John and Aeryn. That's just the way it is.
"A Human Reaction" is not my favorite episode ever. It's really up there, though. But this scene is hands down one of my favorite scenes in any show ever.
It's a lovely, quiet scene. And, well, just look at the cap! I can't explain how much I love this scene. To me, it's perfect. When I started watching Farscape, it was after lots of spoilers and investigation into what the show was all about. So I knew about John and Aeryn and how it was going to play out and none of it was a surprise really, 'cause I'm a spoiler-whore. I'd seen picture of this scene and read about it but the first time I saw it, it took my breath away. It gave me goosebumps and made me smile and when the episode was over, I think I went back and watched the scene again.
There's also the really beautiful moment at the end of the "Look At the Princess" trilogy. And in "Season of Death." And the heartbreaking end of "Dog With Two Bones."
So, yes, even when they're seriously angsty and painful, John and Aeryn make me happy. Because they're believable and complicated and real.
Damn, looks like I'm going to have to pull out the DVDs now.
