Infinite Possibilities, Part 1: Daedalus Demands

Writer: Carleton Eastlake | Director: Peter Andrikidis
Original Air Date: 7/27/01

Could it be? Possibly? A Spastic Review for Infinite Possbilities: Daedalus Demands only... *counts* 3 1/2 months late?

Yeah. Gimme a break. I was at scapercon that weekend. Can I say one thing? The far and away best part of this ep was watching it with about 150 other scapers. Especially if you're sitting on the row where all the shippers are. Can you say profuse use of the word 'aaaaaaaaaaaw'?

And, btw, the four eps of season 3 that I have not yet reviewed are the four hardest to rewatch. Honestly, when I sat down to rewatch IP1 this weekend, it's the first time I'd watched it SINCE scapercon. No joke. Plus, there's that thing called 'school'. And I figured I should do the review before it airs again, thusly making it a revisitation... really, there's like, this big system and stuff that makes sense in my head that explains it.

Er, anyway.

Let's get on with the much-belated review, shall we?

This review is brought to you by Furlow's autobody shop: You want that thang detailed??

-Ooo. Aeryn's learning English: Can only mean one thing. They're gonna go to Erp!

-WOOOOOOOOOOOHOO! They's in bed! And those sheets look like they've been, uh, mussed in the course of gratuitous koodle-boppy.

-Is it just me, but is Aeryn wearing Crichton's t-shirt? And is HE wearing her tank top? I don't know why I think these strange thoughts.

-"Do you think I'm crazy?" "I've always thought that." "Do you know why I'm crazy?" "Why?" "You." *shippyspaz*

-NIBBLE! OMG! NIIIIIIIIIIIBBLE! He's nibbling on her! Oh, yeah, baybee! And on her hip! *spazz* HEY! Wait, wait, don't stop! Ignore it, dammit, Crichton! Git with the nibblin', we want the porn!

-*deep breath* WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORMHOLE!

-'Jack' gets the coolest entrance. The ship goes all wonky and he just appears and goes, "I'm here." That was cool.

-Okay. The SACCer in me coming out. I always get all Incredible Hulk, grow to amazing proportions, and scream 'NO HURT CRICHTON!' when he's threatened. And I seriously wasn't expecting Jack to be pissed off at him.

-Aeryn, uh, don't shoot him. Remember AHR? The Ancients were good cause they gave you and John to have sex. Remember? Okay, so they messed with his head and traumatised you both, but HEY! SEX WITH CRICHTON! *snerk*

-Hehee. So, the Ancients apparently have unity, too? Except you're clothed?

-That's not John's module, Jack. C'mon.

-Spinny Crichton... *pause* *Stark mode* Spiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinny spiiiiiiiinny...

-"You're a mind reading alien. Like my dad." Dunno, in my family, neither parent was ever able to correctly guess what I was thinking... course, that might be because I'm insane...

-"What gift?" Ohh, you turn that snark on, John. You have a right to be pissed. That so-called 'gift' totally frelled you over.

-Bumpercars! John's 'What the HELL!?' was so perfect, hehe.

-FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURLOW! She's my woman. Well, was. You know what I mean, after IP2.

-Don't play on Crichton's protectiveness of Aeryn, Harvey. You bastid!

-Concerned!Aeryn. I like Concerned!Aeryn. Especially when she's concerned about Crichton.

-"My given name is *bunch o syllables that don't bear repeating*" HAHAHA! That reminds me of the part in Splash, where Tom Hanks asks the mermaid chick what her real name is, and she ends up breaking the TV's telling him.

-Okay. The Charrids? They look like the orcs I keep seeing in previews for LOTR. (Woohoo! It comes out next month!)

-LOL. After hearing about hynerian suicide pilots, I have this mental image of Rygel with a white and red scarf tied around his head behind the wheel of a biplane screaming 'KAMIKAZE!!!!'

-"More death than even you could fathom." More death than Stark could fathom? Is that possible?

-*snerk* Stark and his Delvian chant. It's funny as all hell when he grabs Rygel and tries to get him to chant along with him.

-Charrids/Scarrans allies. We don't know hardly anything about Charrids, but I get the feeling that this ain't a good thing...

-Random note: Talyn John still has the scar from TFS.

-Dam-ba-da. I always mess up this name. I keep wanting to call it Bam-ba-da. Did anyone else notice that it rhymes with 'lambada'? Imagine Furlow and a Charrid doin a sexxay dance... *snicker*

-Whoa, John, Aeryn, you guys... those are some big guns. They're like, anime-sized guns.

-"you never would've met..." "-Rygel." Heee. And then, "Furlow. Oh, yeah, she's sexxay." *snicker* I like Crichton when he's being purposefully obtuse.

-"I wouldn't want you to go home alone." Awwww. Okay, you know how they say that they need to talk about it later? DUH. You just talked about it. *happy shipper dance*

-KISS! And that eskimo-nose-rub-thingie. I like that thingie.

-*snicker* Those glasses... hehe... they look especially funny on Rygel.

-Ooo. Watch Stark go spazzy when getting the glasses from Aeryn. He's a grabby little Banik.

-Oh, look, they landed in the Road Warrior. Where's Virginia Hey and Mel Gibson?

-When they show that turret firing, does anyone else get flashbacks to the movie Tank Girl? Pa-pa-pa-pa-PAAAAAAAAAAAOW! I love that movie.

-Couple of guys my ass, Crichton. You said it yourself, 'It should be easy. It's never easy!' BTW, that's like, my life motto now.

-*SNERK* Okay, the jetdry commercial on this tape... the little guy goes, 'OOH! SHINY!' I don't care, I'm calling it a personal shoutout to me. Dammit.

-These alien doods look like the guys from Predator.

-I have written down, and I quote: "Bad Talyn! Go, Talyn! BOOM!" Nuff said, right?

-Hee. Crais short circuited his brain. And Aeryn just rips that thang out of his neck. Yes, I'm gleefully wallowing in the only good kind of OCB (y'know, where the C stands for 'Crais' and not 'Crichton').

-My, what an overuse of the word 'boom' I have in this review. In regards to the grenade thrown into the entrance, I have written: BIG BADDA BOOM!

-Yes, that was a 5th Element Reference. Hee.

-Butch and Sundance, kickin ass. The couple that kicks ass together stays together, dammit!

-"He said help me, not chant me over to the other side!"

-Oooh, Furlow. John's my fav'rite flyboy, too.

-God, Furlow rocks. Rocked. Whatever.

-Hee. Furlow hits people with big blunt objects. We have so much in common.

-"Bring a sister? You won't be enough to pleasure us all!" Aeryn! Kick his ass! John, help her kick his ass! That's yer woman he's talkin about!

-"Yeah, and you can have our pets for breakfast." You're going to feed him Rygel? Torture!

-"Didn't even muss my hair." *looks at Furlow's hair* I'm not even gonna touch that un.

-GO FURLOW! YOU GIT YOU SOME JOHNBOY! (this, coming from a shipper.) What can I say? This is why the woman rocks. Do you know how many female scapers would do the exact same thing if given the opportunity?

-*snerk* Watch in the back of the Transport pod when Rygel and Crais are talking. You see Stark acting like a stewardess. Can't you just picture him going 'Buh-bye! Buh-bye!'?

-"Let me be your *eye*." God, I love Stark. Platonically.

-Hee. She detailed the ship... It's even got 'United States' and an American flag on it. *snerk*

-Crais doing his 'ow my eyes hurt and I can't see' face looks really Satanic and evil-like.

-I love Furlow's expletives. Y'know, like thoddo, welnitz... oh, man, I gotta remember some of those.

-BONDAGE! "I said tie HER up." OH, man, that gives me tons of x-rated fic ideas.

-Eeew, eat a Hynerian? Charrids are sick bastards!

-Rabid Rygel! Woohoo! That's a nasty pumpkin-carver you got there, Ryge!

-"You bet your Frangle." Okay. I thought of Red-Fraggle when she said this. And then I wondered what and where a frangle was.

-"That's how I know it'll make me rich!" Hee. Furlow *so* kicks ass this ep.

-I like Rygel's version of 'Interrogating'. It's violent. We need more violent anger-repressed muppets on tv.

-Scarran Dreadnaught? Sounds eeeeeevil.

-BTW? That Charmin commercial where the bear goes out to use the bathroom? It's just wrong. WRONG. Bears do not sit down and read the newspaper and then use toilet paper!

-Twice as big as a command carrier? Okay, what is the deal? Season 1, we're told that the PK's are hugely bad-ass. And then we find out that Nebari Host Vessels can kick their asses and that Dreadnaughts are frickin' huge. Doesn't sound like the peacekeepers are so hot after all, ey?

-hehee. "Damage, damage, damage!... There is nothing that's not damaged, least of all you!"

-Oh, hehe. I love this scene. And when Crais yells about how he can do it on his own, I just LOVE how Stark gets really snarky at him.

-"Are sacrifice and bravery Hynerian concepts?" Wow. I'm surprised this argument worked with Rygel. He's the type to normally say 'Frell bravery!' Our lil Sparky is finally growin' up! *sniff*

-LOL. The way Aeryn says 'goodbye'... sounds like that Weakest Link chick.

-PUT THE GUN DOWN, FURLOW! Don't make me have to bitchslap yer trelk ass!

-cool morph. At least this ep, the Ancients look cooler than they did in AHR. They looked kinda cheesy there. And that *definitely* rattled Furlow good.

-Furlow's proposition... yeah, right, hunny, keep dreamin. Crichton ain't goin nowhere with you.

-Huh. Surely, I can't be the only one who noticed how calm Furlow was when her comp was being hacked into. She was spazzy about thinking that maybe Jack was trying to steal her tech, and when someone finally does, she doesn't bat an eyelash.

-Hee. Too late, Jack, Crichton knows allllll about the equations.

-Get rid of Harvey? YAAAAAAAAAAY! You know that means this Crichton's gonna die, right? He's got the girl, he's potentially found a way home, and now Harvey's going to be gone. He's SO DEAD!

-When the Charrids bust in and when you see Crichton falling, at first I thought he'd been hit by some debris or whatnot.

-Look, it's Hot Wheels Harvey. With his Hellish Halitosis breath. Can anyone say alliteration?

-"We're closed, you THODDOS!"

-okay. Someone's gonna explain to me what going 'pearshaped' means, right? That's a new one on me.

-GO RYGE! He's good with a gun, who'da thunk!

-Hee. Furlow is being sarcastic. "Boy, you don't want much, do ya?" I'm SO furlow. Except for being an evil backstabbing J/A porn-killing bitch. But hey, that comes next ep.

-K, did anyone else pay attention when Crais said that there was something wrong with docking controls? You knew they were setting up for infiltration aboard Talyn by either Charrids or Scarrans.

-Oh, wow, this really is the Mad Max universe. Look at them dunebuggies.

-Heh. The story about Rygel the IX was great. "Dominars are too valuable for combat!" It's interesting to know that all of Rygel's line weren't like him...

-KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISS! Extended kiss! With nose thingie at the end! <THUD>

-oooo, a rollercoaster. All right, baybee. Course, on Friday at Scapercon, we went to kings island... so I was kinda rollercoastered-out...

-"I am happy to coexist!" "I'm *not*!" Yeah. If we can't all have front row seats to the J/A nookie, Harvey shouldn't get one either.

-"Do not play the Aeryn card, Scorpy, you KILLED HER!" Hee. Bout time he said that to the clone...

-Uh oh. Rollercoaster go boom.

-CPR! Aeryn's givin him CPR!

-"I'll give you indigestion!" EEE! They got Rygel! NOOO!

-ARRRRGH! SCORPYCLONE! (as you can tell, I've degenerated into making loud noises and gibbering at my tv by this point.)

-"What lucious lips you have." Oh, damn you, Harvey. See? This is why we shouldn't have let him have a front row seat to the J/A nookie.

-And that end scene? Aeryn whips out a gun and jams it right up against John's forehead. Now we see her fear of having to kill someone she loves coming back to her, and she's *crying*. Damn you, TPTB.

-Well, okay, we knew, thanks to the next week's preview, that Aeryn wasn't going to shoot John. They gave it away. However, of course, we thought we were safe, so they had to mindfrell us... and, well, you know what happens. *sob*

-Anyway, there it was. The review for IP1. Hopefully, in the next few days/weeks/whatever, I'll get the final 3 that I haven't done for Season 3 reviewed. Well, I'm just hoping I get them reviewed before new eps air... sigh...
