: Hmmm. Caught tonight's episode, and I can't say that I was really floored by it, but maybe they're just getting back in the groove. I mean, they wrapped up a season, and then got a little break, right? I think they just need to build up momentum.
: As for D'argo's new makeup, I think it's too dark. I think maybe it's just skin burn (you know, from orbiting a moon that went up in flames), so it'll go away. What aout that leather duster-thing Chriton is wearing. I'll admit it's flattering, but where did it come from? Anyway, enough nit-picking. Even though it was perhaps a little slow, I thought Vitas Mortis seemed like a good segway into the season. Once they decide what they all want to start doing (Finding Talyon, getting home, fleeing the PK), I think it'll get more interesting. I'm just going to sit back and enjoy the ride.
Didn't Zhaan or someone mention that they were on a commerce planet? Maybe they picked up some new clothes there. Or was Crichton's little outfit left over from the Peace Keepers? Either way, I can't complain about Ben Browder in leather....
Sorry, where was I? Heh heh, distractions. D'argo's new makeup really bothered me last week, but I think I'm about used to it now. Has anyone else noticed how much more expressive Pilot seems to be? Is it my imagination, or have they really improved the puppet work on that?
This week's episode just wasn't very impressive to me, but every series has weak episodes now and then. I'm also looking forward to Moya & the gang catching up with Crais.
