random shippyness

Occasionally I wish my flist was made up of fanatical Farscape fans instead of fanatical BtVS fans.
If, for instance, I wanted to squee madly about Buffy/Spike, I could pretty much guarantee that at least four people on my flist would squee right back at me.
On the other hand, if I want to squee madly about John/Aeryn, I might end up talking to myself...
Oh well. *squees anyway*
I just rewatched The Way We Were, and yay! Awesome, awesome episode.
I love how Aeryn has spent her entire life not feeling much of anything, and having all her feelings squashed by her job - and now she's starting to discover how emotions work. Which is really great, but also really bad, because she's suddenly discovering how painful all this stuff in her past actually was.
And it makes for such an interesting relationship dynamic, because she's starting to get close to Crichton, and this whole discovering-emotions thing is really helping that, but at the same time the painful memories are actually starting to hurt her for the first time in a long time so that the more emotionally open she gets, the more she becomes tentative and afraid of getting hurt again - so she's pushing forward and pulling back at the same time and getting more and more vulnerable, and it's...
*sighs*
I LOVE THIS RELATIONSHIP. It's so extremely cool.
Why oh why can't I quit my job and spend all day watching Farscape for a few weeks?
