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.

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

[damnedscientist.livejournal.com]

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.

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

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
