Sep. 16th, 2011 08:41 pmSo, I am starting my rewatch of Farscape again. I stopped about a year ago near the end of season 2 because things had gotten depressing. The original plan was to take a break for a week or so and then come back and keep going.
Now it is 14 months later. Heh.
But the convenient thing is that my stopping place fits exactly with the way I always seem to want to watch Farscape after a long break. Because every time I out of the blue want to watch Farscape, the thing my brain does is say, "Y'know what we should do? We should watch Season of Death!" I am aware that is a ridiculous thing because a) it's a good episode but not what you could call a great one and it's by no means a standalone, b) it is pretty much exactly half way through the series and why the hell would you start there, and c) what the hell, brain? It's like the thing where every time I start rereading Sherlock Holmes, I start with Norwood Builder, except that Sherlock Holmes wasn't necessarily meant to be read in order every time.
But! Since I was nearly at Season of Death anyway, being two episodes into Liars Guns and Money, both my random "start the series in the middle" urge and my completist rewatching plans will be satisfied. Hurrah.
