Huh. John calls Chiana Sunshine here. It's just a generic 'hey, stop being glass-half-empty' nickname for him, then, yes? Because I know that I've read about him calling Aeryn that.

I really like seeing Chiana bond with the crew. She wants to leave, but she a) tries to warn them about the DRDs listening in and b) helps Zhaan up and is concerned for her. She doesn't want to feel trapped on Moya, she doesn't want to die, but she genuinely likes Zhaan and Crichton at this point, I feel. Crichton gets to her.

John really does have a will of iron. He's the one who doesn't give in or up and who finds a way no matter what.

It's interesting seeing Chiana's surprise at the existence of Starburst. Like John, she's a newcomer to a lot of this stuff, because she's Nebari. And wow, she is so adorable. The little face that she makes when Pilot tells her that she's free to leave at the first available opportunity... they haven't gotten close yet.

Oh! The John/Pilot scene! It's so sweet and wonderful and how can that be a muppet? It isn't. It's an alien, it is.

So, so sweet.

"Pip means?"
"My favorite traveling companion."
"Before I got here, did they believe anything you said?"

So cute! So this is the first appearance of the Chi-specific 'Pip' nickname. Cuteness.

Hee. I kinda love Chiana's grin when D'Argo tells John to 'take the girl and go'. She'd be fine with that plan.

"What if the creature's waiting?"
"Then piss it off."
"How?"
"Pretend it's me."

They have so much chemistry. And it's such lively, bouncy chemistry.

Wow, and John just immediately snaps to and gets her the hell out of the blue dimension when it's clear that she can't function there.

Aeryn's smart, yo.

"Whatever happens, we go together. We keep the baby."

Yeah, that sort of thing builds loyalty.

Damn, but John's the entire package.

Yeah, it's totally obvious that John and Aeryn had sex back in A Human Reaction.

Hmm. He calls both Aeryn and Chiana 'baby' in this episode. "Give me seven seconds, baby."

Oh, the ending is so sweet.
