Chiana grated on me at first but then she somehow became my favorite television/film character ever. She even changed the type of character I fall for and prefer (I used to go for women like Scully or Aeryn). Gigi is just a phenomenal actress who gives Chiana such a fragile strength and irresistible vibrance...I love the physicality of the role too, so alien. You may never flail over her like I do, but she is most definitely not one-note, and her behavior in these early episodes is understandable and even enjoyable once you know more about her past - she has no reason to trust these people or their kindness with nothing asked of her in return, it's alien to her and she's testing their limits to see if they mean it.

Through the Looking Glass is one of my favorite S1 episodes, and the John & Aeryn scenes in the blue world are too, too cute.
