Give me a fandom and I'll give you, either in the comments or in a separate post, five unpopular opinions for that particular fandom.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

1. Zhann was really superior and grating, I could never warm to her character

2. I loved Sikozu, she was one of my favourite characters and I was disappointed in how the miniseries ended her story

3. I appreciated the note of tragedy that the miniseries ended D'Argo and Chiana's love story on, but they didn't really work for me as a couple overall, I found D'Argo quite Misognostic and unpleasant in relationships

4. Jeremiah Crichton wasn't THAT bad. Yeah it was pretty bad, but it was funny bad! I wouldn't call it the worst Farscape episode of all, I've sat through way more boring episodes than that one for starters

5. Coup By Clam was hilarious and one of the best season 4 episodes

Yes, yes, yes for #4. JC was certainly not the worse ep in Farscape. Have you listened to the commentary for that ep?? It's hilarious.

Can't agree about #5, though. CbC is right down near the bottom of my list.

Lol yeah I haven't found anyone else who liked Coup By Clam yet, but i thought that it was great!

And I have, I love how the commentary is labelled as 'When bad things happen to good tv shows' XD But yeah, the parts with Rygel on his throne weren't so bad, I would take it any day over some of the boring D'Argo episodes that I sat through

I'm absolutely in agreement with all of your comments. Does that make them not quite so unpopular? ;)

I liked D'Argo as a standalone character, but in a ship, or being the focus of an ep? No way. And I love Coup By Clam. What's not to like. ;)

I was really surprised at how universally hared it was, I thought that it was hilarious. It had some good character moments too, like Aeryn and Sikozu started to bond after they got captured and Sikozu offers up her fingers instead as they can be reattached, or Rygel's sadistic torture of the Doctor *g*

And heh yes, I only like D'Argo in buddy scenes with John mostly (how cute were they in Lava's A Many Spendered Thing when John was lying to D'Argo about being able to make a jump, or D'Argo was pretend to understand John's science talk!), but Mental As Anything shone quite a disturbing look at his past relationship when we found out that he had beaten his wife after all, and I never much liked how possessive he would get of Chiana

Yes! I adore the Aeryn/Sikozu bonding and the Bad-Rygel moments. And where else in FS do we get To hear Aeryn fart?

But I also hate MAA. It is the only ep I avoid watching. I'm always amazed at the way people hand wave-excuse what is confirmed (but we always suspected) about D'Argo in that ep. And the other D'Argo ep I call Dullas Shitis because it is so boring.

Yeah I was really uncomfortable with MAA because the show had always previously told us that D'Argo was innocent, and that his brother in law had framed him because he was unfairly prejudiced again Luxans. But then MAA seemed to be saying that the brother in law was right all along, that D'Argo being a Luxan should never have married a Sebecian who was too weak to withstand his attacks. He might not have been the one that actually killed her, but he very easily could have killed her when he was blacking out and not remembering beating her. It was totally irresponsible of him decide to marry her, while knowing that he was too young and would be predisposed to hyper-rages and blackouts (Luxons frowned on getting married when you were young for that very reason from what I remember, because you haven't yet learned to control the Luxan hyper rage?)

And lol, I don't think I could ever sit through that season 2 episode with D'Argo again XD

Sikozu! So much love! ♥♥

I loved her so much from her very first episode, she was definitely up there with my all time facourite Farscape characters, she and Scorpios made such a badass couple as well!

Yes, Scorpius/Sikozu made such a surprisingly great couple.. ,)

I was really bummed at how the mini-series dismissed their relationship :( I thought that their first kiss in season 4 was strangely adorable lol
