John/Gilina is the pairing of John Crichton and Gilina Renaez in Farscape.
Canon
They are attracted to one another and share an on-screen kiss, but then she dies. IDK you're probably better off reading Wikipedia or the Farscape Wiki's character page than getting my summary of them.
Fandom
- Sad over Gilina's death, fans who were emotionally hard hit by their relationship and Gilina's sacrifice3[1]
- conversely, some fans who didn't find it compelling[2]
- Minor? Ship war w/ John/Aeryn??? Sounds pretty one-sided b/c John/Aeryn is a much larger ship (both in terms of popularity in the fandom and canon content)[3][4][5]
- Gilina as a relatable/"relatively normal" character, John/Gilina as a more even-keeled relationship in contrast to other relationships (romantic or otherwise) in the show[6][4]
- Fans who disliked Gilina as a stereotypical female character in science fiction: exists onyl to fawn over how great the male characters are; passive, no goals of her own; dies for his.[2]
Common Tropes & Storylines
- "both science geeks"[7]
