Have to start by saying thanks to Ben for writing this wonderful episode. He did a fantastic job!!!
This is the first episode where Moya’s crew is separated. We see John, Aeryn & Crais on board Talyn and Stark and Rygel aboard the transport pod all orbiting around a planet when Talyn is swallowed by a Budong.
It appears John is being personally targeted by a green eyed monster when he is subjected to cold showers and the theft of Winona. He suspects Crais but we later find out it is Talyn who thinks he is protecting Aeryn from the human. Crais has his own agenda though when he convinces Aeryn to accept a transponder to help control Talyn and get them out of the rather large green eyed monster that has swallowed them.
With the union of Aeryn, Crais and Talyn, John is feeling his own jealousy which is fuelled when Talyn shows him a vid chip containing visions of Aeryn and Crais together
John has the first plan to stop them from travelling further down the creature but it is Stark that comes up with the successful escape plan ... make the Budong VOMIT!!!
It is during the escape when Talyn attempts to kill John, that Aeryn realises that she needs John more than she needs the power of being one with Talyn and by showing those feelings to Talyn, saves John’s life.
The scenes between Stark and Rygel on the transport pod are so funny and there are some great lines and new words throughout the episode as well.
“Talyn – you’ve seen them both naked. Perhaps you can tell us who’s bigger”
“I am the eater! Not the eatee!”
“Electromagnetic candy” & “Drannit” are two of my favourites
As a shipper, the tag is a favourite of mine. I love seeing John and Aeryn together
“You are like a plague, John Crichton. And you have ruined my life”
