Bobby stands alone in Moya, talking to the air: "Okay, it's working. What did you want to show me?" Sikozu's voice, kind and friendly -- for her, which it turns out is a lot -- and it occurs to me that this episode is a love letter to the supporting cast. Everybody comes off brilliant in this, I suspect because the episode is designed to make you recoil out of disgust and right back into love. "Curiosity causes you to look in unexpected places...and find unexpected rewards." Her hand extends down, gorgeously, into the shot from above, tossing him a comms badge. "Have a go." Bobby smiles and comms to "Uncle John," to "Commander John Crichton," and John comms back with a question: "What the hell are you doing with the comms?" It's such a great little moment, all of it. Grace and humor in the funniest places. I might like this part almost as much as I hate watching the Chiana bit before. "Uh, Sikozu let me try it?" Sikozu walks down the bulkhead, light as air, and hops to her feet. "Where are you?" John: "Australia. I'm workin', Bobby." The video replays: Sikozu, light as air. The xenobiologist has an orgasm, but you can't begrudge him. Hamilton wows: "I met this young female and had no idea!" Cut to Sikozu standing in the kitchen with a dog, as Dr. Anderson tells a truth of sorts, even in her ugly hate: "In my opinion, there is nothing about the alien Sikozu that is not infused with anger and disdain. E.T., she is not." But did you see the part with Bobby? So fun!
