Masking has been lovely in that the last time I was sick was January 2020...but the streak comes to an end as I am laid up with a sinus infection.  (Testing negative so far, anyways, and it does just feel like the standard head cold.)  I am not resilient when sick though so I am tucked away on the recliner feeling pitiful for myself.

So I was looking for a thing to watch on Kanopy to keep me company and guess what.  They have Farscape!  I have never seen it before and no time like the present.  After four episodes I am enjoying it so far.  Favorite things:

1) Zhaan  <3.  They are so gorgeous and mysterious and sensible unlike everyone else on the ship.  (I haven't actually caught their pronouns--I mean, in a show from 1999 I'm sure eventually someone is going to call them she/her but Zhaan just seems to have an "ahaha, gender?  how quaint that you worry about that" sort of vibe.)

2) The little floor robots with the wiggly lamp eyes.  So adorable

3) Really all of the puppets, prosthetics, and makeup.  A+ work and delightful. 

Thing that most annoys me:  Crichton continuing to make pop/Earth culture references that he knows no one else is going to understand.  Stop being petulant and purposefully making communication difficult, dude.  If you're gonna complain that the other members of the ship do fighting first instead of negotiation, it would probably help your case if they had any idea what you're saying half the time.

So yes, PSA, if this is a thing you want to (re)watch, it is on the streaming service Kanopy.  I get access through my local public library and you might have a similar situation.

Which seems about appropriate.

I'm sure we will watch the rest of this season, but I will not feel guilty about multitasking during the last two episodes at this point.

I'm not a particular fan of soccer, myself, but I threw on a women's World Cup game on the basis that 1) I would like to support women's sports and 2) husband would definitely have had it on if he weren't out reffing soccer games all afternoon, go figure.  So at least I can express our household's viewing preferences even if he's out.

But even if the game is not my cup of tea, how awesome is it to watch the players celebrating after a goal?  The world could use more warm-happy-joy feelies like this, for sure.

Major quibbles about the end of episode two, here.

I am never going to be able to watch Iron Chef America again without seeing the Chairman as Sensei Ping.

(Now if only we could get Kevin Brauch and Alton Brown into Eisenhower jackets, I would die a happy fangirl.)
