This episode is so much fun and there's lots of arm porn with some nice glimpses of chest hair as well. Yeah, I'm a tralk!
The gem for me here is the exchange between Aeryn and John about Humans being related to Sebaceans. Aeryn tells John that the day she finds that out is the day that she lets herself get ripped apart by Palmolian meat hounds. I am wondering if future Aeryn is keeping an eye out for those hounds since we know that Sebaceans started out as Humans!
I love John flashing the peace sign when he is introduced to Volmae. He is soooo cheesy sometimes! But in a cute way. And John in the bed with Zhaan. He is clearly discomfited by the whole thing. John is attracted by Zhaan's innate sensuality and is uncomfortable about it because 1: she is more of a mother figure to him and 2: she is blue. At this point, John is still very much an Earth boy.
Aeryn is starting to become the "more" that John told her she could be in Premiere. She works out how to take care of Rygel with Pilot's help and she revels in this new-found ability. I love seeing how proud she is of herself. John is proud of her, too and encourages her to continue learning. "It doesn't have to be just this once," he tells her.
Did anyone else notice the prowler parked outside the main building? I've always that it was Aeryn's prowler, but it can't be because everyone came down in the transport pod.
My favorite line? Well, it's more of a favorite exchange:
"She gives me a woody..." "...a woody. A human saying. I've heard you use it often. When you don't trust someone or they make you nervous they give you-"
"Willies. She gives you the willies." It never fails to make me chuckle. More than that, it shows how, despite the verbal put-downs Aeryn still levies upon John, the degree of respect she affords him and how much she is learning from him.
