sci fi and laser beams

shoutout to project hail mary for showing one of the biggest and what sometimes feels like most unattainable aroace fantasies coming true: having a best friend who doesn't value you less than their romantic partner.

#i knew about this bit going in and i knew that michael shanks & ben browder switched roles in it bc they thought it would be funnier #but i assumed it would be 'vala pitches a suspiciously farscape-esque adventure from her life and everyone is there wizard of oz-style' #watching it and learning that 1) the implication is that farscape exists as a show within the stargate universe #2) vala has watched it and imagined herself and daniel as the romantic leads #and 3) the episode does not acknowledge the fact that cam & crichton have the exact same face #took me from 'lol they were right; that is funnier' to 'no one has ever been more correct about anything'
