Plot: A Slayer and an astronaut walk into a bar. Stop me if you've heard this one.
Review: The summary is remarkably accurate. There are spoilers for the Buffy S7 finale and the Farscape S4 finale, so you can see where and how this might work (especially if you know Farscape better than I do *g*).
Why did I like this?
I didn't have to strain the bounds of the shows too far to convince myself it was plausible. That's always one of the weaknesses of a cross-over. It's basically a conversation between Buffy and John Crichton and it sounded like those characters. There was no awkward attempt to pair the two of them up and I ended it feeling vaguely hopeful for both of them. Basically, it's an example of how a cross-over can work well without mucking with characterisation and plausibility. It does the cross-over well and I felt like I'd learnt something new about both characters. Isn't that one of the reasons we read fanfic?
