Cut to John storming toward the facility hangar as Wilson pulls a gun. "Just stop!" John tells him. John's not having it, as the vans pull up and soldiers jump out, and he's just laughing, on top of it all, no doubt now, no fear. "Make me. You're not gonna shoot. You're not even Wilson." The thing with John and Aeryn is that he's the intuitive one, the dreamer, and she's the warrior, the hard one. She couldn't have figured this out any more than he could have been the one to escape and knock that first guard out. Without sacrificing John's masculinity, or Aeryn's femininity. (If this were The Apprentice I'd give you a quiz: compare and contrast with, say, Laura and Bill from Battlestar: the intuitive male dove warrior, the hardcore female hawk civilian.) Wilson: "Where's the female alien?" But John's so over the whole thing that he barely spares a glance. "I'm going to talk to the man in charge, and we both know it ain't you." Ben Browder's that boring kind of hot that never stops being hot, but never stops being so obvious that you don't need to mention it; nevertheless, Crichton's most beautiful when he knows he's right, without a slip of doubt. God knows it happens rarely enough, due to him being a fuckup.
