3x16 - Revenging Angel
John: (to D'Argo) Quit acting like Yosemite Sam
Inside John's Coma, Live Action Portion
J: I'm dying
H: Let's see what's left in the fuel tank.
J: I got plenty of reasons [to live].
H: Then give me the Letterman list.
John turns Harvey into a cartoon
H: Looney Tunes? This after school special dissipates our chances of
survival.
J: You really want revenge?
H: Oh yes (eagerly)
J: Okay
J conjures up a cartoon weight labeled 1000 tons and drops it on
cartoon Harvey's head.
Talking to the Pilot in his head
J: You're very wise.
P: I don't get out much, so I read.
Visual: D'Argo gets set to chase John with an Ozme (not Acme)
rocket backpack
Coma Cartoon Scenarios
Cartoon D'Argo is chasing Cartoon John. John warns D'Argo to look
out, but D'Argo's not buying that old gag and promptly gets run over
by MIR.
Cartoon John: God, I love science fiction.
D'Argo ties himself to a rocket and sets the ignition so he can chase
John. It takes off leaving him behind to desparately try to untie himself
until it ricochets back and smashes him to little bits agains a cliff
face.
D'Argo paints a wormhole on the side of a cliff and puts out a sign
saying "Wormhole this way" hoping to lure John into smashing himself
to bits. However, John is able to fly right into that painted wormhole.
When D'Argo tries to follow, he of course smacks into the cliff.
D'Argo has a huge rocket tied to his back ready to give chase when John
flies by. Unfortunately, as soon as John passes, it collapses on him.
Back to Live Action Coma
John-muttering to himself
J: D'Argo, we're friends. Friends don't let friends drive drunk.
Cartoon Aeryn visual/audio references
Aeryn demands he fix her outfit so John gets out a huge pencil and erases her then redraws her .
The many incarnations of Aeryn:
"Oh, I get it. I'm not bad; I'm just drawn that way." --
J: "Honey, that's the wrong Shakespeare."
"There's no place like home."
"Hey Johnny, like a virgin."
"I'd like...rescue
you."
J:--"Can you do that Sharon Stone thing...Basic Instinct?"
"Johnny, just say.."
J: "No!"
At this point D'Argo shows up, John takes off running, and Aeryn shouts
after him "Run, Forest, Run" ala
Back to Animated Coma
Again with the painted wormhole. John flies right through again. But
this time D also gets through only to run smack into the Enterprise
(circa the original series) complete with Scotty remarking "Captain,
we hit something with the ship." (who's Mr.-States-the-Obvious now?)
Typical Bugs & Elmer Fudd scenario of John messing with D'Argo's gun
until it finally backfires in D's face. During this interlude John has
this to say, "You'd really shoot me? We could get counseling, I know
a guy. Dr. Chuck Jones wrote the book on these situations." I'll say
he did. Chuck Jones was responsible for the creation of Looney Tunes
cartoons.
Back to Live Action Coma
Harvey is doing an ER bit zapping John to get his heart going and remarking
on John's weaknesses.
Harvey: Achilles, I believe. Your strength as weakness.
John's perched on
top of Chiana, he sits up, pulling her with him.
J: ...no talking... no running! Come on, baby, you're the Sultana of
Survival. What's left?
Back to Animated
Coma
D'Argo, running around the back of the 'bait' he plants a sign which
is labeled "FREE BEER & PIZZA" and smaller set of lettering
below that line proclaims "ASTRONAUTS WELCOME". Although the
"AU" has been "X"-ed out in red and a large "U"
written over it, making the smaller lettering read: "ASTRONUTS
WELCOME". D'Argo dashes out of sight.
Cartoon John flying
up to the wormhole
J: Well, this little spaceman's goin' home!
John's scooter backs a bit before rocketing toward the wormhole, which...
he hasn't noticed is no longer swirling and is now painted on another
rockface.
J: Lock up the wimmen and hide the fried-chicken!
The scooter rockets forward, slamming into the rockface and explodes.
Back to Live
Action Coma
J: ( groaning ) I think I broke my leg.
Cut to close on D'Argo, Qualta Blade drawn, moving though the smoke,
backlit by fire.
D: ( menacing ) Did you think you could make up all the rules?
Cut to long shot of John stretched out on the ground, trapped in place
by the broken leg, burning debris all around as D'Argo steps in close.
D: Keep hiding behind a cartoon forever?
Alarge headstone is sitting slightly tilted at the head of the 'grave',
a forlornly small bunch of white daisies at the base of the headstone.
Scorpius stands to the left of the headstone in heavy funeral drag,
giving a questionable eulogy. [ The headstone reads "R.I.P.",
"Here Lies", "John Crichton", "Human",
"Astronut", "Natural Born Loser".]
Scorpius: Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to pay our final
respects and to say farewell... to our dear friend, Commander John Crichton.
A schmuck.
Sound of thunder drowns out the lovely sepulchral organ music briefly,
followed by a flash of lightening.
Scorpius: Muleheaded, reckless, and... probably braindead before I met
him. Alas... his death...
Scorpius:Yes. But,
can you just take your life back?
J: I don't... wanna be like other people. I don't wanna be like you.
I don't wanna stoop that low. Kirk wouldn't stoop that low.
Scorpius: ( sighing ) That was a television show, John. And he made
Priceline commercials. But, if you insist. Then look to Kirk the way
he really was-- savage, when he had to be!
More Live Action
Coma
John's smoking a 'huge' cigar and reading the 'Sports' page.
Cut to close on
D'Argo, approaching resolutely, a loud clanging noise, and he looks
down. Cut to close on D'Argo's foot lodged securely in a large metal
pail. Giving up on getting his foot out, he clomps forward toward his
'unsuspecting' prey. A
clomping step or two and D'Argo executes another of those glorious pratfalls,
slamming onto his back on the catwalk with a shout. Tripped up by a
gianormous banana peel. Clambering to his feet he glares at the back
of John's head and moves forward.
Dragging metal pail
and banana peel with him, a step or two, a loud clanging sound and he
howls in pain. Looking down we see close on a huge 'bear trap' snapped
shut on the leg not trapped in the pail. Controlling the pain with Herculean
effort, D'Argo clomps forward with both feet, finally reaching the back
of the large leather chair. Grabbing it, he spins the chair around.
John lowers the
copy of the "Jonesville Star" from his face, the supersize
cigar perched jauntily in the fingers of his left hand. Pausing a beat,
John gives D'Argo his best Bugs Bunny imitation.
J:Eh... what's up, D'Argo?
Almost Done with
the Live Action Coma Bit
J: On with the show, this is it! No cartoons, no crutches-- revenge!
I'd like the thank the Academy--
He brings an imaginary award to his lips, making mock kissing noises.
Scorpius trails in behind him as he moves to stand behind the leather
chair.
J:--for this beautiful Oscah!
JOHN:That's all
folks.
Back to the "Real"
World Now
D: When you were dead... did you know you were dead? I mean, no... what
went through your mind? What did you see?
John considers this for a moment, then laughs softly.
J: Buddy... that would be impossible for me to explain to you.
Nodding slightly with a small laugh, D'Argo looks down at the blade
in his hands.
John, turning to
face outward as the shot pulls back revealing the toon-scape where once
there was a black field full of stars. The MIR floats past, just beyond
John and over the desert-scape asteroid, a small purple shuttle perched
at the center, ready for launch. Cut to long shot, D'Argo still sitting
just inside, John hanging in space outside the portal. The big orange
and purple rocket with surf board strapped atop zips past the portal.
Rising from below the portal, just between John and D'Argo, the starship
Enterprise zips off into the distance.
