So, I almost forgot the real reason that I didn't do a lot of reading in February.

I FINALLY MADE IT THROUGH SEASON ONE OF FARSCAPE!!!!!!!!!

And, wow, did it grow on me.  It took me three attempts to finish the first episode, and then the next five or so were kinda meh, but when they finally started focusing on world-building (as opposed to just telling a stand-alone story per episode), I started to enjoy it.  So much so that I would watch multiple episodes in one sitting, which, for me, is pretty unusual.  

I even managed to get over my dislike of Rygel-the-puppet (honestly, if it isn't Muppet Treasure Island, then the use of muppets just makes me uncomfortable).

AND.  I got used to the Australian accents.  Sort of.  Plus I figured out why those accents upset me - American or European accents are uncommon enough here to be suitably exotic, which works for scifi/fantasy-type productions.  Australian or NZ accents, on the other hand, are familiar enough that hearing them throws me out of the story.

I gotta say that Claudia Black is mighty fine, and makes Aeryn Sun my favourite character.
