farscape1

Note- This is the first season order given on the DVD/video releases and in the Official Farscape Companion. The order on most web episode guides (and possibly the original broadcast order) is slightly different.

Premiere

Um, John? You really shouldn’t be staring at the sun like that.
That’s a nasty blue shirt, followed quickly by an even nastier orange jumpsuit.
Ah, he’s exposition guy.
Of course it's that important they've obviously spent some time working and this out. The question is why isn't it important to DK
Oh, that was a mistake. Never give away your lucky charm.
that's why Jacks giving John the lucky charm, not to give John luck but so John stays lucky and gets his son back
Snigger. Buck Rogers helmet, anyone?
If all of this was programmed into a computer, why was the shuttle manned?
Love the inside of the wormhole, just like a big surf wave.
I was shocked to find Crais in at the pilot episode. It’s been such a long time since I’ve seen these.
Oh John, you’re not in Kansas anymore. For a start, Canaveral could probably hear you from there.
This is so impressive as John comes into Moya for the first time
Lucky Moya has a breathable atmosphere for all these different races.
My Dad, who just came in and sat down and is watching this because its on, would be an excellent fringedweller. John yanks off his helmet and dad gives the TV an old-fashioned look and says "How'd he know he could breathe?"
Those DRDs are just really expensive Scutters. Is 'Farscape' just 'Red Dwarf' with a budget?
It looks like the DRDs have gun placements
I love pilot episodes, everybody stands around and throws exposition at each other.
How come the leviathan (i.e really really big ship) only had three prisoners on board?
I love how easily Zhaan makes D'Argo uncomfortable.
Dada again, he think D'Argo looks like Yosemite Sam, and of course now I will never look at him the same again. And it's only the pilot. You wait 'till you see 'Revenging Angel'
Oh hooray! Naked John!
I love Rygel’s attitude - “I am Rygel XVI, Dominar of 600 billion people. I don’t need to talk to you!”
The Peacekeeper starts to take off it's helmet, Dad says "got to be a girl"
Even tough Peacekeeper commandos have helmet hair.
She obviously doesn't like the name John
Foreshadowing the John/Aeryn relationship, on their first meeting she knocks him to the ground and then sits on his face.
I’m always amazed that the cell doors on Moya have such large gaps in them. You’d think someone as narrow as Aeryn could squeeze through them.
Aeryn's cutting edge appears to be sharper
However it works perfectly well when it's not a ruse
They clipped wings and the prowler spun off into an asteroid. I've seen enough Grand Prix to say that it was an accident
Why is the alien in the background holding an umbrella when it’s not raining?
I know that I’m crap with physics, but aren’t all John’s calculations for the gravity slingshot based on Earth’s gravity? Surely there’s a difference between Earth and the commerce planet.
Totally gratuitous shot of the naked blue lady chanting.
He won't be now

Throne For A Loss

That’s right John, give Aeryn the filmography of a man she’s never heard of. That will help.
I would be temped to let the Tavleks just keep Rygel.
The military commander is not insane, he's just really pissed
That’s the problem with 'Star Trek' being your only space reference.
I like the big tough scary alien that is carefully making his bed in the wide shot of the Tavlek base.
Wyle E. Coyote would at least have access to the full Acme range of products. Aeryn just has her gauntlet.
I knew that Tabloid thing would make Aeryn snap in the end, although it’s nice to see the start of a long recurring joke about John not being able to remember the name of any alien race.
Don't you just love to watch John bluster?
"Quite respectable for your age" that is so cutting
I love Rygel’s hammy acting in that bag, and the agonised squeal when John lands on him.

Back And Back And Back To The Future

Christ, Ben Browder has a nice arse.
Oh in the name of everything that’s holy, never touch anything in an alien ship. John is having an attack of the Daniels.
There’s a clip on the credits just before the Farscape logo comes up and the episode starts, where Ben Browder looks dramatically off into the distance and Claudia Black looks puzzled as if she’s trying to figure out what he’s looking at.
Rest and revitalize under a nice cold shower.
Aeryn and Matala have training in what? Semaphore?
Oh D'Argo, that tone of voice was a mistake.
Aeryn's being unnaturally restrained
Oh like John isn’t confused enough, bless him.
Yes, the way she talks sounds like a permanent come on and it's getting on my nerves, and she only turned up 5 minutes ago. Alone with her for months and I would have to kill her
This is a rather wussy fight scene, but it’s reassuring to know that Aeryn can headbutt well.
Oh look, John’s trying to contemplate the intricacies of temporal mechanics. The poor boy hasn’t a chance.
John bravely hides behind the packing crates.
That blue mask is never going to make it intact is it?
God, Matala sounds like Linda Blair in The Exorcist.
“I mock all of us.” Sounds like a fringedweller mission statement to me.

I, E.T.

That opening shot looks so cool
What are they looking at? They all stick their heads in the hole to confirm what it is but we can’t see it!
You know, Zhaan might actually be limber enough to stick her head between her legs and kiss her arse goodbye.
You’d have thought that Moya would have evolved seats somehow.
Aeryn Sun, the universe’s least convincing air hostess.
Rygel is seeing that exterior shot of Moya that we are seeing, but how? Moya doesn’t have any cameras over there.
Oooops. Did they mean to say amphibian rather than aquatic? If Rygel is aquatic then how does he breathe out of water?
Leviathans are forbidden to carry this substance so the genius that is D'Argo asks if they have any.
Love John’s petty masculine niggling about who is leading the mission.
I like the running gag about John’s eye twitching because of the beacon.
The feeling of total desolation, knowing that you are the only person in the whole wide galaxy who knows who Yoda is
I bet that Peacekeeper metal detector would be able to tape the Angel series finale, too…(Mutters of a dark and rude nature about the unreliableness of family machines)
This is location shooting isn't it? They just went into the outback and filmed kangaroo hunters
Two way radio etiquette ignored there.
Why would Zhaan want to share pain? Deflect it or block it, yes, but share it?
First Contact with Chrichton would be much more pleasant than with Rygel so why are you complaining woman?
Is that an electrical Luxan bone ritual circumcision knife? Because it appears to making noises.
A compassionate military? Isn’t that the complete opposite of how you want your military to behave?
Of course they can tell something is out there, there is a bloody great ship stuck in a mud puddle.
Well, if you leave alien technology on the kitchen table then you should expect the vaguely Nazi military man to become suspicious.
Poor little Frodo (Frostro, I mean, but look at the kid, he’s got Hobbit stamped all over him) missed seeing Moya!

Exodus From Genesis

Oh, how I love clever episode titles.
That dentik-prawn thing looks seriously unpleasant.
“Kinda minty.” But does it come in strawberry cheesecake flavour?
Love the fact that the DRDs come to the command deck to see what’s going on.
Insert Giles quote about rugby and American football.
Don't let it out of the cloak John
Moya Strikes Back - D'Argo getting exactly what he deserves there.
Hard ball? Don't you just wish John
D'Argo has a very dry sense of humour.
"Aeryn's melting away" what a world, what a world
Is Pilot rebooting Moya here?
Maybe he can't speak, but they do know where you kidneys are
Look at the way Rygel’s ears move when he’s annoyed!
D'Argo’s Really Useful Advice.
I had actually forgotten about the Marauder.
Uh oh
You see, leave these big tough commandos alone for long enough and the first thing they do is raid each others’ make up bags. Look at that eyeliner! On the men!
I love the way that Aeryn continues to treat John as a lower life form. Despite his arse

Thank God It's Friday Again.

Oh God, now what has he done?
I think D'Argo should have his morning coffee. Quickly.
It’s the planet of the orange tie-dye hippies.
I liked the third Mad Max, its not a good as the second one, but more goes on than in the first
I'm listening to this in Dolby surround and it's making me paranoid. Sound should come from the TV
Her eyes are freaky.
Oh for God’s sake, D'Argo’s getting some. Can’t they understand that?
Aeryn giving John some very strange mental images there.
D'Argo gets laid and John gets thrown up against a wall and threatened.
You might want the floor three rooms over
Why is Zhaan getting changed behind that screen? She’s stripped off readily enough in the past.
“Calm down now!” yells the caring, considerate Aeryn Sun.
That’s not an unpleasant way to wake up.
Poor boy. Just after he got used to having the dentik as well.
I would have been tempted to prod Rygel there as well.
Am I the only person worried about why D'Argo has female clothing in his cupboard?
“What is it that I can do for you?” Oh John, the list is endless.
I wish that white skinned woman would talk faster, it’s getting very annoying.
I love the way that Aeryn is proud of herself for thinking through a problem and not using her gun.
Isn’t there some kind of planetary customs where Aeryn has to check her gun?

PK Tech Girl

Was the most feared ship
Can you imagine what it must cost to carpet one of those ships?
Thankfully, Aeryn and D'Argo don’t press John for the DiCaprio reference.
Why the spooky organ music when John finds the tech girl?
“I try to save a life each day.” John being manly. “Usually it’s my own.” John being honest.
So today John is up on his life saving quota
Yes, says John, but this abomination is blonde and doesn’t carry a pulse rifle…
The tech girl’s eyes widen as she realizes somebody else speaks geek.
Joan of Arc is not one of Moya's heroes
There are times when I long for a cannon too D'Argo. Usually I’m teaching year nine at the time.
All priest have a flexible morality, it's what they're there for
John left out the bit about the cat. I’m sure the tech girl would have appreciated the 'Lethal Weapon' reference if he had included the cat bit.
“It’s a small universe.” Actually, it’s a bloody huge universe.
"And then fail" now we get to it, if he'd succeeded it would have been fine
This is so not the time for this. And take your hands off him you blonde hussy.
Aeryn has to prove how pissed she is
John wonders if he can't have his cake and eat it
Unfortunately Aeryn’s method of clearing the air usually involved her blasting something with her gun.
Isn’t it a little bit early in their relationship (their four hour relationship) to be willing to die for him? A mild graze maybe, but death?
John’s panels have lost their glow. John's panels have indeed lost their glow, but I think it's a very personal comment
"You had nothing but you used it well" what a fantastic compliment
What is it with those two and eyebrow sucking?

That Old Black Magic

John really doesn’t know if she’s lying or not. John should know by now that Aeryn wouldn't bother to lie
It seems like males of the species are similar all over the universe; it’s flu, not a cold and Rygel is dying.
Not that impressive, his name is probably emblazoned all over that nasty orange jumpsuit.
Of course it’s a scam. Duh.
That’s a very phallic stick he’s suddenly got there.
“Eludes translation’s grasp” my arse.
Zhaan’s like a child in a sweet shop. Or maybe an Ann Summers shop.
"Though it was some time ago" sounds like some kind of Delvian come on to me
That looks like a Knightmare set to me.
Is it wash day on Moya? Because the beige slacks were much nicer than the orange boiler suit
Crais appears to have forgotten how to use a razor, or a hair brush, or their uncharted territories equivalent
Oh, I bet she’s lying.
Aeryn gets her personal paranoia jumped up a notch
That’s nothing new, someone always wants to kill John, it’s a tradition.
I don’t think Olivier had an abysmal cockney accent like that.
And Crais isn’t even singed, despite his leap through the ten feet flames.
Loon! Loon!
“I feed off the life essence. Preferably medium rare.” Got to love that.
I love Rygel’s selfish little eulogy.
John has developed a healthy scepticism
Surely you can't break a person's neck like that, you must have to put some effort in
Zhaan reserving the right to scare the living crap out of people

DNA Mad Scientist

Ugh. That injection into the eye is disgusting. I had to press my eye up against a microscope thing once and it was vile.
It’s like Frankenstein and Igor. Oh, hence the title. Sorry, I had a bit of a brain freeze moment there. (Although there was no Igor character in the text, and although you can call Frankenstein deluded, egocentric, childish, possessed, depressed and in possession of a bizarre Oedipal complex, he wasn’t insane. May I take this moment to stress how much I loathe this book.)
No way. You can’t do that to Pilot!
What about anaesthetic people? Ease his pain?
Oh my God! That’s sick!
Oh my God! That’s sicker!
That poor little thing!
Pilot is angry as hell, he's just being polite
Thank you D'Argo, you’ve just proved Aeryn’s point for her.
I don't think that she can't go home is what's bothering Aeryn, it's that she feels she can't trust Zhaan
Claudia Black has very bushy eyebrows.
At the moment he happens to be getting drunk
And that D'Argo, is why Namtar is staying in the Uncharted Territories.
Why they can't decide to go to the Hone planet that's nearest first I don't know. Oh they have finally reached that conclusion
This is a very good character study of Zhaan, D'Argo and Rygel.
See, I told you that Pilot was angry
Zhaan isn’t going too…ugh, she is!
Luckily that convenient alien broke John’s fall.
Can his head do that?
Sadly, that convenient pipe broke John’s second fall.
That’s so sweet! Quick, someone break it’s neck.
What arm? They cut it off!

They've Got A Secret

Why use a ladder, when you can use John? Although if I tried to do that I’d break the poor man’s back.
Pilot is enjoying making people do what he wants for a change
Oh dear, D'Argo’s been thrown out with the bathwater.
Is Zhaan going to move D'Argo all by herself? That’s a lot of Luxan.
I love the agonised wail the DRDs give before they get whacked.
Aeryn should try some hot water on that.
My Dad again, on Zhaan and D'Argo's relationship, "If he gets his tongue down her throat she's gonna know about it"
I’m with John, disease and suffering is nothing if you’ve got chocolate.
Yeah, everyone agrees with that
Pilot has the right number of arms in this episode - did he grow a new one?
This from my Stepmum, "If his vitals are low does that mean he's a big boy?" Apparently it sounded logical to her
I don’t know what the spiky thing was and I don’t think I want to know.
Oh, that would happen to me too.
The cave full of DRDs is just too Hitchcock for words.
Turn and run John
Why are they whispering? Moya can still hear them.
You can keep things close to your chest, but that’s taking it too far.
These people have no regard for Moya as an entity. Cut her higher functions?
Never hurt you or your baby? You’ve nearly lobotomised her!
How did Moya get pregnant anyway?
Aeryn learns social skills

'Til The Blood Runs Clear

They've just borrowed a kids' simulator for the cabin shot haven't they?
Zhaan’s more than a little happy.
It’s a million to one shot but it might just work…
Why did they have to flashback to that ugly shirt?
Aeryn, thump him if he won't listen
D'Argo looks freaked by Zhaan’s come-on.
If you will ask for synonyms D'Argo, you’ll get them. Flattery will get you anywhere John. Although it helps if you bend over in tight trousers too.
Oh, you can tell he’s a baddie, there’s squealy guitars.
John playing (and inflating) his role to the maximum.
If Aeryn (sorry, Sundance) didn’t owe him her life, she’d kill him right now.
"That bounty belongs to me" John enjoyed saying that so much
The blood trackers outfits resemble the American Indian costumes you get in costume shops. Do you think that they had run out of budget for this episode?
That’s it, threaten them with a charcoal-tipped stick.
And that is why you should let women negotiate.
Christ, how tempting is that?
More like “Busted Crichton”.
You’ve got to love the “Yoo-hoo!” before Furlow hits him with the spanner.
“Damnit! I’m an engineer, not a doctor!”
Why can’t D'Argo and Zhaan park closer to the engineer’s station?

The Flax

It’s like my first driving lesson in a car with a clutch.
And he wonders why his cousin overthrew him.
Rygel is having so much fun.
In times of crisis on 'Farscape' everyone yells. Do you think they do that to be heard over the backing music?
John with less cat-like reflexes than Aeryn lands on his head
Pilot must feel like a teacher with an unruly class.
Pretty little female? Zhaan’s as tall as he is!
Yeah, but they all had criminal records too.
Oh that man is so obviously on a wire.
Seatbelts.
Aeryn and John showing a healthy disrespect for the rescuing abilities of their shipmates.
If Zhaan were less composed she’d be dancing around behind his back doing the “shut up!” hand gesture.
Zhaan stoically resists the urge to kill everyone on board
The way Stanix has got his ship jury rigged reminds me unhappily of the wiring in my flat
All those accusations of John’s “big head” finally come back to haunt him.
It's cold in space, it would give them ten minutes at least
Aeryn is relentlessly pragmatic about the revive shot.
Famous last half-spoken words.
Anyone get the idea that Rygel should have been strangled at birth?
“You have 60 microts to reach minimum safe distance…”
Fix the pipe Aeryn you don't expect much from his brain anyway
Wake up! Don’t let him die!
I was taught CPR differently, 2 breaths, 5 compressions
He’s awfully articulate for someone returned from the dead.
That’s not cuddling up against the cold. Any real woman would be pressed a hell of a lot closer than that.
They went from hesitancy to passion very quickly.
I think it's a case of 'if it's the last 15 minutes let's make them good'
Love Aeryn’s agonised “Someone’s docking?”
Well, on the up side, you're not going to die
Poor D'Argo was completely wrong-footed there.
Poor Stanix
John's only saying it'll never happen again because Aeryn was on top
Did she do what I think she did?

Rhapsody In Blue

If she’s in bed with him, why is she still wearing her nightclothes?
"The tastiest thing I've had since last night"? You'd have to know someone a long time and be really good in bed before you can get away with a line like that
That has to be her apartment, the flowers match the bedcovers
Any woman would have heard the snap of that ring case.
Oh well John, take a comfort in the fact that her head didn’t explode.
02:15 and he’s stripped to his underwear! Good call!
When did John get dressed? He left his room in his underwear and arrived at command fully clothed.
“Hail, Prince of the Darkness!” Got to love that.
I love how Aeryn refuses to believe that the underwear is Crichton’s because they have Calvin Klein sewn into the label.
Did John bring a spare pair of underwear with him in Farscape 1? If he didn’t, how did he get Calvins in the Uncharted Territories?
Maybe he didn't bring two pairs of pants, maybe he wore them both for insurance
Where do they do their laundry on Moya, anyway? I know she’s evolved to cater for passengers but does that include some kind of launderette?
Aeryn wisely remains armed
Well, if you understand your own twists and turns, then you know when to hit the brakes so your mind doesn't spin off the tracks
I sympathise with John, I always get the nutters too.
“Preoccupy them as you would children.” What, with felt tips and lego? Because you know that Rygel and Aeryn will argue over who gets the black pen.
Hey, isn't his Mum dead? Or is that what will tip John off?
That was an unusually quick thought for Dargo.
An ickle Rygel! Quick, someone stamp on him.
17 years going mad? Didn’t she get bored? If I couldn’t do it in a few months I’d have ditched the idea and concentrated on escaping.
I love how John is trying to deal with the figment of his imagination’s existential angst.
"That chicks messing with our minds!"
They call themselves priests because deacons and lay readers don't have training to do the mind wipe stuff
The fact that their representational tree is a twisted stump should have alerted those that can understand what a representational metaphor is.
Does Zhaan know what a chicken is?
Well, at least he’s honest.
“Well,” says John, “My work here is done.”
Timber!!

Jeremiah Crichton

You can tell if an episode is going to have a good story or not by timing when John firsts bends over in tight trousers/gets naked. This episode, 46 seconds and he’s off.
John is in a right snark today
Take that ugly jumpsuit off!
He wasn’t sick of her two episodes ago. Quite the reverse, actually.
Well, that'll teach you to be childish
Ugh, beard, ugh. Even worse, obviously fake beard.
Are we having a bit of a 'Castaway' piss take here? Because I thought I saw Wilson the basketball being used as a float
He can invent a harpoon and not a razor?
Don’t know who you are lady but I hate you on sight.
This village seems to be able to produce satin very well, but only garish purple and orange.
That's why he got her father to say it instead
It’s a pectoral competition and the native guy seems to be winning.
John spells out the obvious there.
Cunningly not saying High Noon there
All the natives are clean shaven! Don’t give him maps and waistcoats, give him a razor!
Hah! John travels the galaxy teaching 'Star Wars'
Attack of the silly hats. They’ve probably filmed an episode of Stargate in this village too.
“None may pass!” A touch of the Black Knight there.
I love how John just sits there on a log while D'Argo saves his life.
John's still in a snit after three months? Grow up
“Well, “ admits D'Argo, “Apart from that long weekend in Vegas...”
I’m sure that there will be another alien in his pants if Loshala has her way.
I've been knocked into a muddy puddle, beaten over the head with a gun butt, tricked, lied to and tied to a chair. Don't you think it's time I got even?
How can they not notice the people in orange and purple waiting to ambush them?
Rygel’s moment of glory.
Rygel the God - a sci-fi novel by Robert Graves
Let Angel tell you, prophecies are never a good thing.
Never tell anyone their religion is wrong. Not to their face, anyway.
Does John have to die or is Loshala just really annoyed with him?
Rygel may be a false god, but at least he’s not a goa’uld.
Go John, grab that muppet and run!
It was all a metaphor. The other great sci-fi cliche

Durka Returns

Ooh, get Pilot.
“Who would have thought that the old Hynerian would have such phlegm in him?” Not quite Shakespeare, but you get my drift.
Ben Browder admirably trying not to look stupid while restraining a puppet.
It must take ages to get this cast through make up every morning.
She's on their ship, they should know what they're in for if she escapes
“Have you ever been stung by the Watruka plant?” askes the camp Nebari. “Not yet” replies John, gloomily resigning himself to another of the Uncharted Territories’ pleasures still awaiting him.
Of course he appreciates it, he can't feel anything inappropriate and so has no choice!
D'Argo recognises a veiled threat when he doesn’t hear one.
Aeryn learns a lesson about meeting your heroes.
Chiana’s got some nasty roots.
Does Aeryn just casually wander over the ship with that big gun slung over her shoulder?
D'Argo talking a lot of sense there about not pissing off those who can kick the chit out of you
Those bloody Nebari and their sanctimonious ways really piss me off. As they are supposed to.
Shed have more chance staying clam if you weren't electrocuting her brain
Aeryn's getting sloppy
That’s a very good haircut with only a fruit knife. Unless Moya has a hair salon somewhere.
You see, plot in this episode. 25 minutes until a slow motion running and bending shot.
John isn’t going to let D'Argo forget the time he fell out of the ship.
And after you've killed the hostages you'll have nothing to bargain with and we'll vent you out of the ship
Why have a heated spanner?
I think the rest of the crew would appreciate it if Durka would cauterise Rygel’s lips together.
John Crichton WWF superstar
And all those years of tenpin bowling finally pay off.
Poor Pilot can’t do anything right - open the door, shut the door, open the door…
Aeryn really enjoyed saying that to Rygel

A Human Reaction

Ah, he's talking to his Dad again, we haven't seen that for a while. Will this be significant we ask ourselves
Well, he’s not going to get any younger, is he?
How convenient that the wormhole didn't bend so he could see it popped him out right next to Earth
Are there degrees of lost? Can he be more lost than he actually is?
Ugh, which part?
He would probably do better and faster if his module wasn't steered by a Commodore 64 joystick
Aah, this will be a dream or AU or something, because we went to white light. Such a giveaway.
Yeah, it’s Australia, because it’s cheaper to film there than the US. Why do you think all Sebaceans have Aussie accents?
J.C. forgot to phone home before landing
John sitting in the classic Christine Keeler pose.
Because he turned right at Greenland
I love how John can’t resist the lure of a swivel chair and a tiled floor.
Why would anyone outside of America know or indeed care about the Superbowl?
“Umm,” he thinks, “I was ten?”
A trout? They’re basing their official recognition of him on a trout? Oh my God!
You might not have come back and I might have lost my lucky charm forever
"I think you should see this" meaning that he didn't want to tell John himself
They dissected Rygel! At last!
They'll come for D'Argo next because Aeryn looks human
Aeryn must have experienced rain at some point.
Don't fiddle with the pass card, turn the door handle
This is where he’s supposed to say “They’d have to kill me too!”
Don’t quite see Aeryn in the flowery dress.
The dress doesn't suit her
Ah, the great mystery of the female toilets.
That is the worst puppet I’ve ever seen on Farscape.

Through The Looking Glass

They’ve all got disgusting table manners.
Chiana is firmly in her place there.
Let that be a lesson to you, don't push Moya around
04:15 and the first bending over shot.
I take it that Aeryn is cast as Ms Senior Tough Chick Of The Universe
Euw. Who’s going to clean that up?
OK, that’s an effective technique, now I’m feeling ill.
I hate mimes, but I must admit that that D'Argo and Rygel mimes are pretty funny.
It looks like Freddy Kruger with sunshine scissor fingers is coming to get them
Rygel sounds like Basil Brush before the “Boom boom!”
Dimension is the word you're looking for John
Follow the yellow brick road...
Chiana’s biological definitions are basic but effective.
That would be more impressive if she wasn’t a twiglet.
Love Dargo’s mispronunciation of Mississippi.
Much as I love John, it’s boring to see him saving the day all the time. Why couldn’t someone else do it for a change?
There’s some very sexual stuff going on here, although you’ve got to love John and Rygel’s exchange - “Hell, we’re screwed.” “Should I disrobe so it’s memorable?”
"The girl screamed and I was almost arrested" that sounds like a good story that we didn't hear

A Bug's Life

Those peacekeepers obviously haven’t been playing in mummy’s make-up bag like the last lot.
Don’t call her a girl.
A note for the diaries, it took them eighteen episodes but they did it. At 02:17 John appears in the leather trousers for the first time! I give you two words. Ladies and Gentlemen, oh and yeah!
Although, that accent is hideous. He obviously can’t manage an Australian accent so he’s going for a British one.
That peacekeeper captain is very attractive actually. Now I know he’s going to die horribly.
"Over it, you're crew and you" bugger
Very nice Chiana, very nice
"Black ghosts" sounds like a compliment to special ops
What ever you do don't prod it!
Oh, there’s the reason that John is the captain. I thought that Aeryn wouldn’t let that one go without a fight.
Can a virus lay spores? Short answer, no
There’s a joke about shafting Crichton that I just can’t find.
Now he’s evil, John shows some flesh.
"I reckon not" that doesn't sound right with his dodgy accent
Sit, talk, have athletic sex, whatever you want.
It’s like musical chairs.
I love Sicilian stand offs, when I'm not involved
So, not that intelligent a virus.
Well, that’s cheery news for someone who’s just come around.

Nerve

Hitting a punchbag can be cathartic. Not as cathartic as hitting one of your demonic housemates, but close.
The problem is that she's dying
04:43 and the leather comes out. Hoh Yeah! That's a good look for him
Gas giant with a moon with a military base on it, Battle Of Yavin anyone? It's a good job that R2D2 didn't have Moya's schematics. Oh, that's sweet, my dear American spellcheck recognises 'R2D2'
Chiana certainly qualifies as that.
Notice she doesn't say what the talent she used was
Don’t give me sexual tension between John and Chiana, I’m not buying it.
There’s sexy leather, and the gimp look, and Scorpius has crossed that line.
Hah, I wondered when they would need some kind of genetic I.D, or even a photograph.
And after that display of masculine temper, they wander around in circles for an hour and a half looking for their room.
Oh, it’s blondie. Hello, blondie.
“If a warrior cannot die in battle…” then she shouldn’t be bored to death by a Hynerian.
Oh God, they were eyebrow suckers, weren’t they.
Guilt trip him blondie, you know you want to.
It might have been better to try and blag your way out of the situation before shoulder barging the heavily armed guards
Stop torturing him! That’s not fair!
That looks a bit old fashioned for PK technology.
“Déjà vu all over again” the Reduced Shakespeare Company again.
Those arm restraints aren’t actually restraining him at all.
John’s got very straight teeth.
Nuthatch alert. Hello Stark
Is Chiana helping or not?
Well, he burnt to a crisp very quickly
Where do they bathe? Does Moya have en-suite facilities?

The Hidden Memory

“Well I can,” says Aeryn, just before she topples over in agony.
“If you can be an idiot, I can be an idiot.” I’ve never heard a declaration that sums up the spirit of friendship in such an honest way. Hooray for equal opportunities
Was that snot that came out of his nose? Because it came out with some force.
Don't worry Stark, John's not going anywhere
I don’t know what’s scarier, mad Stark or sane Stark.
Stark says that proudly.
John, he’s not going to tell you his secret because then you could tell it for him.
It must be hard to pull of a subterfuge in a clear plexi-glass case.
Nobody knows who the Daddy is, that’s a question they’ve studiously avoided asking.
Blondie got blonder in that sequence.
And now Crais is scared.
I don’t think that Crais should make any remarks about Scorpius’ genitalia.
And what any soldier knows in his heart is the right thing is to not get shot trying to save someone the establishment frowns on
After all that crap about sneaking in and out of the base, a transport pod from Moya can land on it with a shipload of explosives and nobody can tell?
I think that this is probably the first time that John has been cradled and had his hair stroked and smoothed by another man.
I want a title like that, “The radiant”.
Fine, no problem, she’ll just go and kill a high-ranking officer.
“It’s my sidearm, I swear”. Another joke for the Stargate fans.
Stark's not unreasonable "How many Peacekeepers do you know on this base"
Does Aeryn know what she’s doing with the Aurora Chair or is she just randomly pushing buttons?
Yes he does love Aeryn, so back off blondie. Are you on the credits? No. So don’t expect to live past this episode.
Where did Stark appear from?
Just shoot him woman! Yet another blonde who can’t pull a bloody trigger.
Let's just hope she can aim
John looks suitably uncomfortable with the declaration of love from the dying woman. (Hah, told you that you’d die!)
Oh throw her a bone John, she’s dying.
John reluctant to find himself in lip lockage with a corpse
It’s somehow fitting that she should die with her boots on.

Bone To Be Wild

Look at the tiny Talyn! Except he hasn’t got his name yet, of course.
That's a fantastically silly hat John's wearing
Why is Aeryn whispering and the rest of them speaking normally?
Chiana and John seem to be able to appreciate the irony of the situation.
Does Scorpius have a prosthetic chin?
Where did John get that stupid flying helmet?
My hay fever would kill me there.
Another Farscape neurotic female, although this one seems to have glowing condoms on her head.
M'Lee is beyond neurotic, she's in the full throws of a breakdown
I love how John and D’Argo manage to trash the ship between them.
Do the words “baby’s” and “weaponry” used together bother anybody else?
Oh you can tell this kid is going to be a stroppy teenager.
Just as John is getting some kind of handle on the universe, he finds out that he’s mind-melded with a plant. I think it bothers him that he didn't know
In the vain hope of stopping Scorpius from hurting him again, Crais lets his hair fall forward to soften his face and make him look pretty
“Botanistic pharmacology” was a bit much for John to decipher after “calciavore”. He has no problem with calling him Bernie though.
I think that Bernie understood everything except “capice”.
Wise advice from Scorpius.
Why would M'Lee take Zhaan? She can't eat her
That was convenient, the first vial containing Zhaan
See what happens when you piss off a botanist?

Family Ties

Why wasn’t that translated?
Nice incidental question from Scorpius.
Evil little slug!
Listening to Rygel's little spiel there, you'd think he was in a strong negotiating position, but we know better
Stupid question…
Yes but you’d have to find someone stupid enough to do it.
That was unexpected.
Of course it’s coming to an end, it’s episode 22 and they didn’t have a guaranteed second season .
So, that really was Aeryn that John had sex with, not an Aeryn created from his mind?
Under stress Crais has forgotten to touch up his jazz beard
Aeryn wrongfoots John again.
Easy John, no need to become a murderer yet
This is a very grudging show of friendship.
It’s not a mystery, it’s just that they don’t want to put all their cheap extras through six hours of make-up.
That’s just determined who’ll fly the ship then.
Get your nasty grey lips off him!
Shoot to mildly inconvenience!
Yeah, and look how they both turned out!
Woah! Yeah! That's an ace explanation
Well, that’s that plan down the toilet.
There is no reason that the good luck charm should have floated away
