So interesting. Season 1 is my least favorite -- I felt like it hadn't hit its stride.

It's getting there and I'm not keen on several of the early eps, but at the same time, s1 has a lot I love, and it's ensemble-tastic throughout, with all the characters allowed an inner life that exists not just in regards to Crichton. I remember missing that in s4. I might change my mind upon rewatch! We shall see.

Aww I love S1 too! It kind of breaks my heart everyone disses it, and yeah it's got really dire stuff like I E.T. and Jeremiah Crichton and so on, but I love Reluctant Allies coming together and how we slowly learn about their backgrounds and Crais! Moya! Talyn! Pilot! It even has some of my v favourite eps of the whole series, TGIF Again and DNA Mad Scientist and Through the Looking Glass and Human Reaction and Nerve ("MY side, YOUR side!"). And I do think S1 and S2 were the best for the whole ensemble, before SEASON OF DEATH and a lot of the emotional energy of the show going into John and Aeryn's relationship. Which I didn't mind, but it was just way too angsty and will-they-won't-they for my taste.

Hoo boy, the lava AND the clam eps, and one of my very least favourite examples of "the hero must shoot the exact copy of the heroine!" Bleah.
