The Hidden Memory

Writer: Justin Monjo | Director: Ian Watson
Original Air Date: 1/14/00

Lyme revisits THM! This revisitation is not only spastic, but also distracted. Why? Well, my mom was throwing marshmallows at my dogs, and it was so incredibly funny that I was ROFL for 15 minutes straight. Yes, Lymey *also* gets distracted by shiney objects and purty colors.

This mini-review is brought to you by Hynerian Brand Helium Tanks! Stronger and longer-lasting helium, for all your party needs!

On to the observations... this un's gonna be short and bitter (Yeah, I know it's supposed to be *sweet*, but I'm a citroid, and a twisted mutant lime at that. I don't do sweet).


-Stark! Stark! I love Stark, woo woo woo! I love Stark, how bout you? Low in fat, high in fiber, HEEEEEY! Betcha didn't know that! (oh, wait, those are beans. I gotta lay off the Space Ghost.) Anyway, this was the ep that made everyone go, 'Whoa, you sass that hoopy frood, Stark? He always knows where his toerl is.' Of course, that was before ppl realised how really whacko he was... But I still love him! He's one cool frood! NYAH!

-Yeeeouch. Mebbe it's just the shipper in me, but Aeryn looks kinda hurt when Gilina says that the memory Crichton was blocking was about her.

-K, I don't know if this has been discussed - but, in retrospect, it was WAAAAY too frelling easy for Aeryn to get on that base. WAY to easy. Now, kiddies, raise your hand if you think Scorpy set it up so that Crichton could escape - so the chip would have time to do its work! I mean, we didn't know, back when THM first aired that Crichton had Harvey the Wonder Chip doing the hairnet-o-doom number on his head... I now think that Scorpy set it up so the other could infiltrate the base.

-K... when Crais is in the chair, after Aeryn plays 'This is your life!' with the controls... You see his little, uhm, ponytail thingie... and I swear, I have to repress the urge to reach into my tv screen, grab it, and *YANK* real hard. Anyone else?

-Intriguing. A cycle ago, Crais was swearing up and down how he was gonna hunt Aeryn down and kill her (Ohhh, I so expect him to break into a Murone impression and add 'I GONNA PUT YER BELLS IN A SLING, you ICEHOLE!' at that point, btw). Now, Crais apparently has the hots for her. Talk about love-hate.

-I am still pissed that they apparently cut out a huge important scene from THM, where Aeryn apparently has a talk with Gilina. It messes with the continuity, and I am a CONTINUITY FREAK. Whoa, I just realised that I used 'apparently' twice in one sentence.

-I love, love, LOVE the scenes with Chi and Rygel in this ep. They are sooooo much fun. "What is that?" "What?" "*THAT*" *snerk* It always sends me into laughter.

-I also like Chi thinkin on her feet... like when she tells Pilot to force a breathable atmosphere into the area where Talyn is stuck. I could easily also imagine Crichton doing the same thing...

-"The Radiant Aeryn Sun" <THUD>. Yeah, I don't know why I'm thudding, either. AERYN AIN'T DEAD! Dammit! I'm moving to DeNile with Cleopatra and DaniRoyer! Also, I love that pun. Hehe.

-Yipes. I just realised, we have OCrB in this ep. (Obligatory Crais bashing). Not that I mind too much... after all, he was trying to put the moves on Aeryn. Smeghead.

-Scorpy, I want to do horrible, evil, twisted (in a non-sexual way, I mean) things to your leather face thong. Nyah.

Okay, told you it was going to be short. I'm feeling faintly snarky. I made my mom watch the ep, but she fell asleep (grr). Mebbe I can force her to watch CDM?

LBT, having a very snarky week.
