Heidi--
> What's a tralk?
As someone said--a slut. On Farscape, it's usually referring to Chiana.
(But Anne was never as much fun--which was a big drawback, really.)

> she actually killed him or physically forced him to go.
She doesn't pull a gun & order him inside or later hit him over the head w/
a handy wall. But, she's the doc & in charge of the bizarre little rescue
expedition, while he's a lowly paramedic. She should have abided by the
fire chief's refusal to let them in & told dumb Mikey to do the same.
Instead, they went in so she could play heroic doc, & he died. It's a
wonder her baby didn't die, too.
Mary--
>>>Ohh so its OK for Duncan to jump in bed with any guest star but DR Anne
is
all bad. >>>
Huh? No one said she was bad for having sex--just moronically careless or
very unlucky. Considering all her other behavior, I know which choice I
lean towards.
>Did he really LOVE her???
Can't see why he would, which was a big problem w/ the casting, writing,
acting, etc. & largely blighted season 3.
Nina (to be fair, RR's motorcycle racing also tended to suck the life out of
S3)

Because he might have to follow her orders as far as treatment doesn't
mean he has to follow her into an obviously dangerous location. He
could have just said he wasn't going. Since he went down there by his
own choice I don't see how that's the same as her killing him.

I agree she didn't kill him, but I think she "got him killed". She
foolishly led him into a dangerous and unstable situation against the orders
of the person who knew most about what was going on. As a result one person
died and she had to be rescued herself. I would think that is an emergency
worker's nightmare - that those who are there to help act irresponsibly and
end up needing help themselves, thus using up the resources that were needed
for the original victims.
