In your own space, share a favorite piece of original canon (a TV episode, a song, a favorite interview, a book, a scene from a movie, etc) and explain why you love it so much. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Where to start? With my original fandom perhaps. I love beginnings and a beginning I love was the first episode of Farscape. Why? Because Moya, that gorgeous living, sentient ship. And Pilot. Snarky, lovely Pilot. And Rygel, Zhaan, and D’Argo. But most of all I love this for Aeryn. Beautiful, confused, conflicted, damaged, lethal Aeryn. My deep and abiding love for her continues to this day.

Another beginning is Sherlock. The unaired Pilot as well as the official one. Martin and Benedict are perfect as John and Sherlock. Their relationship (prior to S3 and 4) is exactly as I imagine Conan Doyle saw it. And while some episodes and entire series were less appealing than others, The Reichenbach Fall is an still an amazing episode. Needless to say, I have been a fan of Holmes and Watson since I was ten years old.

I need to rewatch Farscape. It's been too long.

I agree. I haven’t watched since Peacekeeper Wars. I still read fic in the fandom occasionally.

Officer Sun is a very compelling reason to watch. But pilot and Moya, and eventually the way that Crichton and Harvey get along with each other, makes that series more than just Aeryn being awesome.

I love Farscape! I love very few het pairings, but John/Aeryn is definitely one of the few.

They do make believers out of us. :)
