The Official SACC Declaration, an excerpt from OboeCrazy's SACC Declaration post:

The Society Against Cruelty to Crichton (SACC) Declaration of...uh...us.
Produced with thanks to Thomas Jefferson.

*ahem*

When in the course of 'Scaper events it becomes necessary to run to the BBoard and yell "What is wrong with you PEOPLE?!", it might be a good idea to have some reasons behind it least people think your just another raving troll.

It seams obvious to us that John Crichton should be free to pretty much whatever harmless fun he wants to have, and the chance to get through at least one episode every so often without having to worry about medical bills. And so we join together to rally around with everyone in a group to voice our opposition to what has been referred to as Obligatory Crichton Bashing...in other words (but not necessarily good ones) the fact that not one episode can go by without our poor Rocket Jocky taking a beating.

We know, we know, you probably think we're just a bunch of whiners with nothing better to do than nit-pick our favorate show, but believe you us, we wouldn't be doing this if we didn't have whole bunch of good reasons! So now, we must declare that we have officially Had It Up To Here with Crichton Bashing, and are ready to take a stand against it!

The history of John Crichton aboard Moya is a history of repeated injuries and various ouches, and while they may be for the purpose of Plot and Character Development, we feel this may have gone too far. To prove this, let these facts be submitted to a candid, shocked, and amused world:

Of the past 12 episodes, 9 have had Crichton sustain some kind of bodily injury, with the remaining 3 containing an official Close Call.

He has been forced to endure such injury without the benefit of consulting his family physician afterwards, and has had to put up with a totally different HMO.

Through no fault of his own, he has been forced to wear the same 2 outfits since joining the crew.

He has been kept from keeping company with Zhann, who could ease his pain, or Aryen, who could...ah...help him forget his pain.

He has been forced to live in close proximity to an angry Luxian.

He has been forced to live in close proximity to a spitting Hynearian.

He has been forced to reside on a ship without clearly marked fire exits.

We have asked the writers repeatedly to Lay Off, but since we don't have their phone numbers and the operator doesn't seem to care we have received no response. And it's not like this is something new we're springing on everyone...this problem has been around for at least a week or two. We therefore declare, to anyone who cares, that the group known as SACC will be formed for John Crichton's protection, as well as a bit of fun, in order to encourage the production of Cruelty Free Episodes. To this we pledge out lives, our underwear, and whatever free time we can shake loose.

Thank you.
