Crichton Kicks
- Geeah! Beard! And hair! He looks like Jesus, in some kind of bizarre smock
thing.
Ok, I have
to say it too, Geeeeaaaagggghhh, beard!!!
-
I like little 1812, it's sweet.
It's the
1812 overture, the PRD rendition had me confused
-
I guess this Pilot doesn't mind graffitti on her walls, although I suppose
there's no WHSmith's nearby to get a new notepad.
-
John isn't worried about the alien spaceship crashing through the boxes that
represented his life's work, he knows that it's there to stand in for the
cannons at the end of the 1812 Overture.
-
That's a good opener from the crazy haired lady - "If you're sober enough or
sane enough to understand me..."
- This pointing and naming of objects is a lot like primary
school
- He's going
to sing it.
-
God, the crazy haired lady sound like me - "Give me nouns! Give me verbs!"
- I don't know
who this woman is but every writer and English teacher is worshiping
at her feet right now
-
Oh dear, I could have lived without the image of Scorpy in that hat and
Hawiian shirt combination.
Are these Russian aliens?
-
Hah! I knew that was Klingon!
Please tell
me that's all the Klingon he knows, like me only knowing how to
mortally insult you or proposition you in Spanish
-
Not his backside! Don't bite his precious backside!
-
Trust Chiana to make her presence known at the worst possible time.
-
Oh thank goodness, I couldn't take that awful beard for much longer. I've
just noticed one on Rygel, too.
-
Chiana sounds like she's got Cordelia's visions.
-
I've missed Rygel's gloriously inappropriate jokes.
- Rygel is
ace, how can you not like Rygel?
- I want to be
able to do the gravity shift thing
-
That's a pretty poor goat impression, although he does do a little goat
dance.
-
You get the feeling that Ben Browder loved doing the arse-wiggling scene,
but probably not as much as his female fans did.
- Glad to see
Crichton has not given up on the leather
- Enough with
the Yodaisms
-
Pirates of the Caspian Sea, more like.
-
When did she get time to curl her hair again?
-
I get the feeling that this plan of theirs involves a long length of rope
and people jumping off ledges, and you just know that it's going to go to
hell.
-
Oh, and here we go...well, you just knew that the red head having her hand
sliced off earlier was a set up for this joke (although it didn't stop me
from sniggering) and I defy anyone not to laugh at the image of a grown man
shooting uncontrollably upwards and then plummeting down into a large vat of
blue goo.
- "I am
going to get my life back" that's the spirit
-
No! No! Don't give up on Aeryn! She'll need help with the nappy changes, if
nothing else. Kick-arse commando she may be, but I bet nothing in her
training will ever prepare her for three am nappy changes.

What
Was Lost pt I - Sacrifice
- I have no idea what Chiana just said
then.
- I distrust water-filled corridors. They
never usually lead to anything good.
- You've got to love the simultaneous
"He's not a peacekeeper! She's not a tralk!"
- Reunions that maim by D'Argo
-
Oh yay, thinks John, hours of Luxan travel stories. If he's lucky he won't have
to sit through the slide shows.
- "We're here and no-one is trying to
kill us!" That must be a novel feeling.
That's a plus, but you know that it can't last and something will
try and kill them soon
- Oh, that sea-creature thing is too
cool.
- Chiana! Don't destroy the artifacts!
- "Legend has it" that's a
scientific term is it?
- Take your hand out of his Jool, although
well done for getting John alone somewhere dark and deserted.
- Oh yeah, throw the memory of your dead wife
in Chiana's face, Dargo.
- Crichton just says no
-
I think that Commandant Cleavage has been watching too much Star Trek; how the
hell is Braca going to make a 10 hour journey in 5 hours? Get out and push the
command carrier?
- Keep Scorpius in that chair! Torture him
until he cracks, then do it some more!
- Yeah, you'd think that a whole team of
archeologists would notice the missing bones.
- It's a nice little excursion for Commandant
Cleavage and Braca - just a simple picnic lunch, three marauders and
twenty soldiers. Perfect.
- She must be so cold after the 8th take
- That fingernail licking thing is disgusting,
although the aphrodisiac sweat isn't much better.
- Poor Braca, I don't really think she needed
to cheat
- I've just seen Jool in the light for a bit
after her chat with Vella about the inferiority of Luxans, and her
leather bondage look seems *really* out of place on the dig.
- The old woman reminds me of Grandma Mazur.
Nah, Granny's crazy but not
weird. Plus, there's no mention of her having huge ears and a third eye.
- And somehow it's not the robed monks or the
great buildings that John really remembers, but the goat.
- Ooh! Wet John! Wet John in leather trousers!
That's a look that they should consider keeping.
- Oh no, he's lost Winona
- The monks are chanting the theme tune!
- Hah! Farscape goes Stargate with the
Egyptian reference.
- Eew dribble!
- Scorpius on a leash! That must cheer John up
considerably.
We all knew
Farscape's fetishist would put a collar and leash on Scorpius at some point
- Fight it! Fight her! GET YOUR DISGUSTING
HANDS OFF HIM, BITCH.
- Some nice visuals there, with the waves
crashing on the beach.
- I'm glad that they resisted doing the
"From Here To Eternity" shot.
- Time for the sea monster
|
|
What Was Lost pt II - Resurrection
- Gee John, do you think that yelling whilst underwater is the best idea in
the world?
-
Why is the creature from the black lagoon saving his life only to kill him
later?
- I love
D'Argo's pissy outburst about the new girl's inability to finish her
sentences
-
Wow, that was a very sexy shot of John sprawled against the stone wall in
the water.
-
Well, given that their plans are usually suicidal and only come off because
of luck, D'Argo's plan seems as good as any that they've done before.
-
Nice little double entendre there.
-
Oh, you've got to love this Scorpius torture.
-
Chiana does have a point, she is a bit monochromatic.
-
Go away, hisses Commandant Cleavage, I'm interrogating a suspect!
-
Hooray! Shoot Scorpius more!
-
No, no, don't save her life, this will mean that you won't really be dead.
-
Ooh, battle of the intergalactic red-head temperamental princesses.
-
Isn't the guard going to hear that plan? Oh, never mind. Nice shot of the
three women turning around there.
-
Hmm, beer, bowling and skinny dipping. Not the most sophisticated of dates.
-
No, actually, your ass looks fabulous in those clingy leather trousers.
-
"There is always a point in running!" Advice for life there.
-
John throwing the gun at the bad guys there as his oil runs out.
-
Aha! They're going to reverse the polarity!
-
A man will do a lot for the gun he loves.
-
Where the hell did that big thing come from?
-
Those priests are going to be really pissed that they missed all their TV
programmes for 12000 cycles.
-
That glowing eye is freaky.

Lava's
A Many Splendored Thing
- Well, it's
not like they're going to miss seeing Moya, are they? She's a
leviathan!
- Ah, that's
why she's so thin.
- Ah, the
comedy helium gag. no show's complete without one! They
must have so much fun sucking on helium filled balloons - get a lung
full (actor nods) action!
- Oh, what is
that really?
- Fab, the
extended vomiting sequence. just what you want while you're eating
your tea
- A real
threat there, "I'll spew on you!"
- That was me
after my last KFC meal
- Let's call
that Plan B, shall we? The problem is, so many things seem like a
good idea at the the time
- D'Argo wins
the OAP Care and Consideration Award
- Well, at
least he's honest. Good
answer.
- Gee those
crates looked really unheavy (light!
light!)
for heavy crates.
- Crichton
has a very familiar look on his face - the look you develop when you
have to deal with Bitca for any length of time.
- Crichton
comes around to the "burn her" idea
- There's some
diplomacy, Crichton and D'Argo style.
- D'Argo's
tongue comes into play again. I'd love to see what will happen if
his recoil goes.
- A truly
hilarious scene. Priceless. They're going to cancel this?
- Is there DNA
in vomit? Urgh, she just ate the vomit!
- Brains
versus vomit handling.
- Oh, there
goes any chance of their sleep for the next few months.
- Looks like
D'Argo's ship needs new batteries.
- No, no, not
the backside! It's perfectly formed and not available for target
practice!
- D'Argo is
quietly proud.
- Oh you'd
better stop that right now. No lava on the genitals!
- It's Lolaan
we should have known thumping something would work.
- If she turns
the ship invisible while Chiana is off the ship then Chi won't be
able to get back again.
- Oh, don't
insult Winona. That's a mistake.
|
|
Promises
- Moya is in a
beautiful part of space
- Moya looks beautiful because Lolaan is
stinky.
- Aha, potted plot; or, "We can't be bothered to explain the gaping plot
hole".
-
True 'Scaper style, run headlong into danger.
- I know he
said "one way to find out" but he didn't say only one
way to find out
- Aeryn has hideous
hair.
- I know she
dumped poor John but strictly speaking that's not a good enough
reason to shoot her
- Bog off Scorpy! I knew he wasn't
dead.
- Maybe
john should have had his fingers crossed when he made that promise
- Ugh! He licked her nose! Scorpius licked her
nose!
- "Kryptonite, silver bullet, Buffy..."
D'Argo prefers the Highlander
approach.
-
You've got to love the hitman segue. Only in Farscape. They're canceling this?
- 1812! He
survived!
- Yeah, like that would have stopped her. Aeryn would have kicked his ass from
Moya to Earth and back again.
- Jesus, Aeryn looks freaky in that coolant
suit.
- Urgh, I can see right up his
nose.
- "Go in under a
flag of truce and hit him with it" Sounds like a good plan to
me.
- That's a hell of a lot of support Commandant Cleavage is getting in that
white shirt.
- Can three people invade a
planet?
- Nice comedy pratfall from
Granny.
- Good shot
Rygel
- Gah! Scarren!Aeryn is scaring
me.
- Against my better judgement I'm feeling really sorry for
Harvey.
-
Love D'Argo's attempt at positivity here. "Well, it's not the worst plan
you've ever had."
- Resuscitating
Moya is like trying to get Alexei to start in the morning.
-
That's three questions John.
- Oh dear, one of them the captain? My money's on
D'Argo.
- Take a vote
my arse! They'll fight it out like mad cockerels
- Oh Aeryn, throw him a bone.
|
|
Natural
Election
- Who's
playing the sitar? Oh, Sikozu
- Oh wow,
they're taking turns at being Captain. How childish is that?
- That's a very pretentious use of Spanish, although it
will save the Spanish
TV channel that buys this from dubbing that particular section.
- Drum roll
and... not a whole lot
- Oh my god, he did it!
- Oh bugger,
now what
- Love the freaked-out Rygel "What happened to the stars!" Rygel
not so much freaked out as having a bad attack of Shakespearian
acting
- Ben Browder must have eaten a Spanish dictionary recently.
- Hate her creepy eye.
- Chiana expounds on her First Rule of Prison Security.
- Oh prominent
cleavage lady, I don't like the look you threw then.
- Can a plant sneak up on people?
- Aeryn must be desperate to confide in Chiana.
- D'Argo summed that up pretty well, I think.
- Oh thanks Granny, just that fraction of a second too late.
- OK, the Tobinometer likes the tight black spacesuit with the silver piping. I
also appreciate the black suit and silver piping
- Yeah, the first time they all agree on a plan and then they go and kill the
ship.
- How about a couple of tons of weedkiller?
- Jesus
Chiana's got a big mouth
- That is such
a cool insult, "You defy the whole theory of natural
selection"
- That was such a cool vomiting Pilot.
- Oh, D'Argo made a joke.
- And he made another one, "There are so many other reasons to hate
yourself."
- Oh John, that was a mistake.
- Aeryn was remarkably controlled in the face of a truly stupid question.
- John's been attacked by some bronzing gel.
- Yay 1812!
- Hang on to what?
- Well, Tobin
gets her money's worth. D'Argo wins
- Oh poor John! Bless him, a nice human girl wouldn't be messing him around
like this.

John
Quixote
- And with a title like that you just know that it's going to be good.
- Red Dwarf did this sort of thing. I bet I can get the twist right now -
they're going to think that they got out of the game but really they'll
still be inside it.
- God no, not blondie again.
- Cool, they
dragged back PK Tech Girl. Does this mean they'll go back to that
bizarre eyebrow sucking thing?
- Oh dear, I'm not fancying John in the helmet. He looks like a "It's A
Knockout" reject.
- Ooo! (Say it
with me) that's gotta hurt
- Somehow I can't see Aeryn as a blonde or in distress.
- Well, they always say that too much TV is bad for your health.
- Nice Max Headroom impersonation.
- That was a pretty
cool poem. I *think* it was in iambic pentameter, which
isn't easy to do
- This is just a demented Knightmare episode.
- Wow! A real, honest to goodness, beautiful Monty Python reference that is
nothing other than a Monty Python reference. Ben Browder, I salute you.
- Fantastic!
Rygel IS the one legged silversmith
- Oh fab, D'Argo in a pie collar with some *very* dubious sexual innuendo.
- "Mind
the gap" apparently John is about to get off the tube at The
Embankment
- Well here's fun, a Southern, lisping Aeryn. How could Claudia Black keep a
straight face?
- Please tell me that was Lani Tupu under all that make-up otherwise I think
I'm seeing things.
- They're still in the game, right?
- That's a lot of skin showing on Aeryn. She must have shrunk her clothes in
the wash.
- Ooh, particularly nice bending over in leather shot from Ben Browder, it's
been a while since we had one of those.
- Ugh, no blood, no blood! Couldn't he have asked Chiana for a marker pen?
- "What are you doing?" Bleeding to death slowly for the sake of physics?
- That's a particularly crappy way to die.
- John deals nicely with the unexpected banana.
- Oh John,
please think with your brain and not your gonads
- Hah! I knew it! Narrative imperative strikes again!
- Well, we all
knew he wouldn't get to kiss anyone wearing that helmet
- Yeah, somehow I thought that would be too easy.
- Wrong
princess?
- Drugs? She's doping John? Someone throw that old woman out of the cargo bay,
please!
|
|
I
Shrink Therefore I Am
- That old woman is intensely annoying.
- John! Just say no! Did the cast of Grange Hill sing their hearts out in
vain?
- Oh Pilot must be speaking in code, Aeryn just isn't a sonnet sort of girl.
- That's a particularly repulsive looking alien.
- Wow, they're
industrial strength handcuffs
- Aeryn just a little slow on the uptake there.
- Another scientist in the airvents!
- I love how the wrist clamps are enough to hold Rygel's whole body.
- Frell, eh? Chiana must be rubbing off on the
bosomy lady.
- Take it for
granted, Chiana can always cause a distraction
- Clever little 1812!
- Oh, he's going to regret calling Aeryn and D'Argo weak and helpless.
- Yet another pop culture
reference that the aliens just aren't going to get.
- Did Scorpy just offer to be a sidekick?
- Didn't they blow one of those fan things up a few weeks ago?
- There's a bit of a Spanish theme to John this season.
- It's "Honey, I Shrunk The Luxan!"
- Hey, I just made that joke!
- Bosomy lady (sorry, can't spell her
name) tries to logic her way out of this
as the writers desperately try to write themselves out of the corner that
they've got into.
- Rygel, for once, talking sense.
- "Know a
frelling fact when it hits me in the face". Sadly Rygel is one
up on me there
- "Charm, good looks, and a winning attitude", yeah, and the leather trousers
help too, John.
- I love how Granny floats across the viewscreen at he back of this shot.
- Chiana and Aeryn
should have expected John to crack a few jokes at their
expense.
- He's such a
bloody child
- Aeryn has sudden doubts about John's great plan.
- Scarrans sound Russian.
- That's gross, but it's not the most disgusting thing he's ever done.
- I love how Aeryn dives off to save her
prowler.
- Oh fantastic, mini-Aeryn riding 1812!
- When all else fails, a large blunt object to the head will do the trick.
- Oh, you've got to love the pun.
- Tormented space? Is that space that's really
angsty?
- Repressed
space, neurotic space, delusional space and everybody's favourite,
manic depressive space
|
|
A
Prefect Murder
- I don't get it, is Aeryn hallucinating?
- Oh what has Chiana done now?
- Aeryn is letting Chiana fly alone in her prowler? Is she feeling ill?
- The Prefect
looks like an elf
- So is Aeryn
having her own private flashback?
- "Give me a reason now to kill you!" Because D'Argo can render you
unconscious with his tongue alone?
- You mean it
wasn't Chiana after all, it was Sikouzu? Or does the son not
discriminate
- What? Eh? Huh?
- Priests often do have that much sway.
- Love John's Scotty impersonation.
- Oh, I think I get what this episode is trying to do now. It's bloody odd
though, even for a Farscape episode.
- One new ruler every half cycle? How do they get things done?
- Let go of him! But don't let go of him there!
- I tell you
what, it's a good job I knew the synopsis before I started watching
this episode
- That looks like a stupid place to have a knife, you can't get it out of the
sheath in a hurry. Although, what he thought a knife would do against an
enemy that has a gun is another question.
- Well, as stable as Aeryn and John get, anyway.
- Wow! That was an impressive leap by Ben Browder, or his stunt man.
- "One
fine day in the middle of the night, two dead men got up to fight.
Back to back they faced each other, drew their swords and shot each
other"
- Ew! A priest to the back of the head! It's been bugging me all episode, but
I've just remembered who the priest reminds me of - Old Hamish, from Cohen's
Silver Horde. Say it with me, the Pratchett fans will get that one.
- No I expect
his father wanted to live
- Nutter!
Seriously Bruce Spence typecast to great effect
- No, he would have made his father proud, but his father is dead. Get your
tense right, D'Argo.
|
|
Coup
By Clam
- They glowed. That can't be good, right?
- That's some false nose on that doctor.
- Oh, that looked painful for poor John. Leave his head alone!
- Ooh, that's
gotta hurt
- Love the way
they're running a sweepstake on how long John screams. Who did win
the pool?
- This is a bit of a weak storyline - held hostage by food poisoning? Since
when have they been that rich, anyway?
- Well, I
suppose they can always raid another shadow depository
- I expect
that they'd care to call you beaky but they're not going to give you
money
- Poor Aeryn is so embarrassed at being in farting union with Rygel.
- Chiana
apparently didn't eat any of the evil clams
- Well done Pilot, tell the annoying red head where to go.
- Is it just
me or does the Doctor look like the Child catcher from 'Chitty
Chitty Bang Bang'. Maybe it's just a nasal resemblance
- Who'd have
thought the day would come when it would be a problem not to be a
mollusc. I tell you Hamlet got off lightly. "To be or not to be
a mollusc. Whether it is nobler in the clam to suffer the squid and
lobster of outrageous tidal forces, or to take up suction pads
against the sea otters and by opposing get yanked off the sea bed,
smacked with a rock and eaten". Not very poetic I admit, but it
does go to prove that the Prince of Denmark was nothing more than a
repressed whiner. But I digress...
- John and Aeryn in heartfelt unison there.
- Ugh! Disgusting!
- Weird, you wouldn't think that D'Argo would have such high pitched orgasm
noises.
- Did D'Argo
hit what I think he did?
- No you chauvanistic dimwit, the ship is actually male and they've been
referring to it with a female pronoun for a few laughs...
- Granny's got
quite the thing for D'Argo hasn't she?
- I always thought the engineer was a woman. Was she supposed to be disguised
as a bloke then?
- Yay! Jirl Power! I love it when Aeryn tries to speak English.
- Rygel likes the idea of playing doctor.
- His what
are playing up? I bet if it's not the obvious innuendo then it's
something totally innocent, like toenails
- Aeryn got snuck up on? By a girl in a floaty dress and silly hat?
- You have to dress up, John, because we want to laugh at you in drag.
- Bras in
tormented space. Well I suppose they are underwires
- As if John
needs a slimming colour. He's going to have to shove several pairs
of socks down that bra as it is
- John's doing a pretty good Aeryn impression there.
- The little
squeak in his voice says he means it
- Ben Browder really is not an attractive woman.
- That's
ambiguous. Does pushy guy really think John's a woman? Because
there's been some groping and John doesn't look like a woman
- "Shut up! Work!" Rygel channeling me, I feel.
- He bit his nose off! Cool!
- That's a good question.
- Love Aeryn's
double take
- Got to love the escape plan.
- Fantastic!
Little Purple Riding Hood, "She whips the pistol from her
knickers..."
- Didn't Scorpius look like a giant fly then, when he was writhing around on
the floor vomiting?
|
|
Unrealized
Reality
- Very '2001'
- The greatest
roller coaster ride of all- look no ship!
- Time guy
gets monotonous
- "Catalogue,
report and influence" that is spying
- Love John's
ego taking over
- Ha! That'll
teach you to get cocky (for want of a better word)
- Isn't Harvey
dead?
- I knew he
had it wrong when he said he wasn't scared
- Uh oh- how
much air does he have?
- "Oops"
Gee, ya think
|
|
Kansas
- D'Argo
probably can't hear you
- "98
bottles of beer" if you carry on much longer they'll find you
just to shut you up John
- Sam &
Josh moment anyone? "Turn on the lights or black out the entire
city"
- "No.
Yes" Go on... "Bite me" Yes!
- "Situation
normal" that bad huh?
- Rygel's
first chocolate rush. John should remember to take some with him
- Scorpius and
Braka?
- Ok, if
Chiana has sex with John's younger self will John remember it when
they return to the future?
- Farscape,
never one to pass up an innuendo or sight gag
- Their plans
never work because this is a show with integrity, common sense and
(god help us) realism
- Love the
'X-Files' gag, just love it!
- It was a
trout, but his Dad isn't going to have a clue what he's talking
about
|
|
Terra
Firma
- Bass or trout - this time John's really making sure that Dad is Dad, not a shapeshifting alien.
- "Earth's
first contact with extra terrestrial life" Ha! If you think
back 3 and a half years you'll remember that John's first contact
with extra terrestrial life registered a whopping 8.1 on the Sam
& Josh Almighty F***
Up Scale
- "Good
God!" No that's just the regular cast, God wouldn't bother with
all that eye make-up
- Look, a MIB!
- That's good advice around Aeryn and D'Argo.
- John looks weird in trainers. I'm missing the leather already.
- He made a MIB joke!
- Hell, Aeryn's seen more than his naked ass, why get freaked out about baby pictures.
- No demands but the ones you;re putting on him you blonde hussy.
- I had forgotten about the chameleon thing.
- Leather! Oh, the leather!
- Jack and
Bobby are in big trouble
- "Retain
no memory of it" but he does have a big metal thing stuck to
his forehead, won't that be a bit of a giveaway?
- Saturn, wow!
- Oh God no, thinks Aeryn, I'd hate to be human.
- Oh my god,
it's on Earth
- Hah! And Aeryn would love to do a victory dance but she's just too cool. I, on the other hand, would be capering all over the place.
- Blimey,
Scorpius is getting it from everywhere
- I love Chiana's "Spank you very much"
- Has nobody noticed that DK and wifey are missing?
- Come on
Aeryn, you used to be a decent shot
- I know they
can't seem to build solid walls in the US, but that really is shoddy
- At the risk of sounding like my brother, cool fight scene.
- Yes! Go
D'Argo!
- "I'm
glad I could be of service" If that's the phrase... Damn,
postempted again
- He'll be
back, he knows how now
- What, the home they just wrecked?
- Ooh, a slo-mo with purpose.
|
|
Twice
Shy
- "Nothing's
bothering you" Liar, liar pants on fire!
- Accept nothing from Rygel. That’s just general advice.
- I love John’s grudging acceptance that nine times out of ten their plans backfire horribly.
- “She is your responsibility” Yes D’Argo, and I promise to feed her and clean
her room and take her for walkies…
- That was
excessive, he wasn't being that pushy
- Aeryn’s losing her touch if all she hit was John’s ear then. The pregnancy must be sapping her strength.
- Oh yes she does.
- Narante (if
that's how you spell it), so Granny gets a name now
- Men have no idea about romance, but the sight of John on his knees begging is a good place to start.
- Is Chiana a not-very-repressed-lesbian now?
- Sex and putting up shelves, I suppose.
- Oh bless him, John’s an easy mark.
- Ah, Slave
Girl spreads dissention
- Narante's
not the only one, I think they're acting oddly too
- Chiana nearly achieving her goal of sex with an adult John.
- Gagh! Spider!
- Eeep, the Replicators
have interbred with spiders
- Oh, it’s always above you.
- Was she torn limb from limb then? This episode is so cut by the BBC.
- Calm D’Argo freaks me out.
- Is this
thing an Emohawk like in 'Red Dwarf' that sucks on emotion? The
question is will we get to see Dwayne Dibley?
- There’s a hell of a lot of Scorpius spit today.
- John having a honesty attack here.
- Cool, from
spider to Balrog in under a second
- That’s going to take the DRDs ages to clean.
- Not totally
paranoid suddenly though, he's been that way for a couple of years
- Hoo-bloody-ray! At last! If he has to kiss anybody it should be Aeryn. After all, she’s put the hours in.

- Stuck with D’Argo, Rygel and Scorpius in a tiny ship. Yeah, I can see why John wouldn’t be hurrying to go there.
- Any mental discipline would be nice John, because he does get a bit distracted sometimes.
- What is John planning on watching on his new TV? Does SKY broadcast to the Uncharted Territories? (Thank God it broadcasts to South Wales, anyway)
- Waving my flag of sexual equality, why do the girls have to go shopping and the boys enroll at this freaky mind control camp?
- Mind you, on hearing all this crap about accepting pain and working through it, I think I can see why the girls opted to shop. I just don’t get this macho obsession with pain - surely the smartest warrior avoids it as much as possible?
- “It’s not meant to be painless”, you see, my point being made for me. Men are morons.
- That? That is Luxan hyper-rage? That is a tantrum, and I see far worse everyday.
- Go on Rygel, you can do it!
- Good shot
Rygel! Oh well, nice try
- Remedial training for John. Poor boy.
- I wish I could set detentions like that says the teacher, wistfully. A few hours in a metal cell directly over a bed of hot coals would do the world of good for some people. And I use that term in the loosest possible sense.
- Oh dear, John is amusing himself. This is never good.
- Oh that's
fantastic! I love obscure references, especially when I get them
- Scorpius expects John to be captured and tortured? Not a lot of confidence in him. Mind you, considering John’s track record I can’t really blame Scorpius for this one.
- “…what kind of monster I really am” says D’Argo mournfully. After some serious consideration I’ve concluded that I’m the Cookie Monster.
- I’ve made absolutely no secret of my devotion to John and his predilection for bending over in tight leather trousers, but he really is being a bit dense here. If he took his shirt off and laid it over the grate then the keys that magically fall from above would land on the shirt and he wouldn’t have to burn his hand in that stupidly macho way. Plus, he’d be cooler and we’d get to see him shirtless, so I think that was a good plan for everybody.
- D'Argo
understands vengeance
- I wonder if the shopping trip was that traumatic?

Bringing Home The Beacon
- Really, can these episode titles get more
pun-tastic?
- Rygel with self discipline, scary.
Rygel and self-discipline? Oh, this is a got-to-see moment.
- Oh, this is the companion episode to last week.
- That is a truly stupid haircut.
- If it was, Chiana would know.
- Gagh, another truly stupid hairstyle.
- Keep an eye on him Chiana. Only an eye. Is she really the best person for this subtle kind of work?
- Oh, and guess which one Aeryn is going to do.
- That is an amazingly stupid hat on that
Scarren.
- Maybe this shopping trip was worthy
of Aeryn tagging along
- Yay for the yummy Braca
- The Peacekeepers march sounds like
a demented version of the Teddy Bear's Picnic
- Mutual Defence pact, not a real partnership.
- The Luxan territory, D'Argo will
flip his wig
- Hell yes, assassinate the bitch.
- Aeryn’s been spending too much time with John if her well thought out plan is “Run. Run quickly.”
- A bit of colour in her hair and that’s it?
- Chiana will have Braca for
breakfast. A very squicky scene between Chiana and Noranti. I really didn’t need to see the nibbling.
- That peacekeeper is trying to look very macho in a very silly hat.
- Chiana has an Elvis suit on!
- Why is there pond weed on that pipe?
- Very good Narante. That’s going to be a very short
Scarren.
- Aeryn could get to like shopping if
it carries on like this
- Elvis to the rescue! Or not.
- Aeryn hadn’t thought about the peacekeeper ship, although the “Run. Run quickly” plan might come into operation.
- Aim for the Scarren’s head! It’s the only part of him that isn’t covered in armour.
- They're good. Braca and Graza work
well together
- That’s a very cheap looking model of the Scarren ship.
- My God, I didn’t see that coming. Oh poor John.

A Constellation Of Doubt
- That’s strange music for Farscape - oh, it’s another TV show.
- Pilot must have the best satellite dish ever
- Oh, I love the shot of the Catholic over the “backwards morons” rant from Rygel. My quest continues against the might of the Catholic church. I’ll let you know how it turns out.
- "Superstitious, xenophobic morons"
sounds like us
- Sikozu is neatly stepping into Aeryn’s combat boots and being extremely sarcastic towards John.
- Hah! Aeryn is putting that presenter in his place.
- It's a weapon, it kills whatever you point
it at
- I wouldn’t be so quick to trust the opinion of a sociologist. They’re trained to talk out of their arses.
- I don’t think that psychological terror is so much D’Argo’s forte as actual terror. That, he’s good at.
- Katrazi? He could know it because it sounds like “Yahtzee”.
- I was going to say toilet paper! I don’t like being prempted by John. I’d miss chocolate the most.
- Damn it, now I’ve been prempted by Sikozu.
- She’s also saying we’re ignorant.
- Oh shut up you stupid bigoted priest.
- What ever that is, it's not a rat
- How could Rygel reach all that junk food? He has such little arms!
- I don’t think Rygel told them about being deposed by his cousin.
- On seeing the tinfoil hat, the host is a little less convinced about his guest’s
tenuous grip on sanity.
- Excellent, diet or the aliens will get you
- Oh poor Moya has a phobia of wormholes! Not that I’d blame her.
- John, don’t give Scorpius anything. Aeryn will kill you when she finds out.
- Actually, John did a lot of that damage to his parent’s home himself.
- I want to hit R. Wilson Monroe and I did the
first time he came on the screen

Prayer
- That's a bunch of complete twaddle from
Aeryn
- They're always stupid plans
- Katratzi somewhere in Northern Russia
- He's lying! he's not going to tell him the
truth at all
- This is kinda gross
- Aeryn must be desperate if she's acting like
John here
- You really don't need a translation for that
- Oh this is the cool Moya!
- "A hum in my head" I've been
singing Slade all day. I wonder where that will lead me?
- They've done to many of these 'I might not
get back' scenes before, their hearts just aren't in it
- Aeryn's in a really strict gynecologists
chair
- John has a dyslexic moment, left or right? No
your other left!
- "Looks like the contact points are
rusty, just flick the switch up and down a few times
- Can't see Juliet in the fetish gear myself
- Extremely close it seems
- Sikozu's top seems much lower this week for
no apparent reason
- Nuh? How? Learned knowledge doesn't filter
into genetic memory, unless it's the lyrics to 'Rockin' All Over The
World'
- Did john know all about the wormholes before
he got Aeryn pregnant? No
- Who's child? 'Mine' says Aeryn
- But not to her face
- If she can palm those tablets, then she must
be able to get out of her bonds. In which case, why is she still
lying there when she could be high-tailing it out of there
- Well trance then woman
- Oh yeah, that will help
- Will Scorpius take the direct route? Oh yes,
I see he does
- Just hurry up and kill her if you're going
to
- They should be recording this
- Right, done that, slaughtered my shipmates,
we can go
- Life would have been a lot easier if Aeryn
had been a bad Peacekeeper. She'd never have caught up with Moya to
begin with and she'd be happily blasting people away right now

Fetal Attraction
- Chiana really has to stretch to put her chin on John's shoulder there.
- Where are they hiding D'Argo?
- Half an arn, just enough time for a stupid plan.
- "Grab our guns and kick in the doors" See, stupid plan.
- Pregnancy aside, not a bad way to wake up.
- "Must you make it so hard for yourself?" Oh, always.
- Oh, clever little Hynerian.
- D'Argo really not happy as Norante's assistant.
- "Your point?" Got to use that.
- Oh, poor little shedding Rygel.
- I'd lock myself with John in an airlock.
- John's planning skills have improved, it's
just that his execution still sucks
- Go Chiana!
- Oh Aeryn, oh my God, how painful.
- Surely that's wrong. How can a fetus implant
in a damaged uterus, or whatever Chiana has?
- Scorpius is more of a battle of wits sort of guy.
- Love the vomit on the camera there.
- "Or killed!" said Chiana hopefully.
- Chiana takes the direct route to keeping
Sikozu quiet
- Rygel takes up his new position as ship's counselor
- I love the way Harvey does the coolest 'Nosferatu'/'Shadow
Of The Vampire'
- impression
- It just wasn't going to be that easy, was it?

Hot To Katratzi
- Where has the blood come from on those spikes? Scorpius looks sadly
unpunctured.
- I love John’s defence of his stupid plan, with a slightly miffed “There’s a fine line between genius and lunacy.”
- A quick Broken Arrow moment there with the hasty “Do not shoot the thermonuclear device!”
- John is really enjoying himself up there on that table, but how many of those pop culture references are the Scarrens going to understand?
- Aeryn’s long-suffering “Isn’t it fun?” comes quietly from the background.
- I don’t think that they’d appreciate being known as Crichton’s females, somehow.
- Oh poor Chiana, it was a good plan. I’d feel a need to kick him in the mivonks too.
- Hah! Robot! I knew there was something off about her and now I know
why!
- 1812 acts like a sheepdog here.
- Ugh, Scorpius has a real drool problem.
- Stark gets his own back at exactly the wrong moment.
- “You’re insane!” Well, yeah.
- Oh, I love these little sappy bits.
- Scorpius? Scarrens? Spy? Huh?
- How the hell do you disguise a bloody leviathan? You’d need one hell of a false moustache.
- I hate these TBC episodes! Tell me the story!

La Bomba
- John never knows what he's doing
- John's really not in a position to bitch about who is who's prisoner.
- "Did we win?" Aeryn, ever the professional, comes around from unconsciousness.
- Has the Scarren woman looked in the mirror? Because that's frightening.
- There's too much stroking of the bomb for my comfort.
- Harvey in a beanie is funny.
- I think "Scarrensky and Hutch" would have worked better.
- Ooh, is Aeryn going to release the embryo?
- I also admire Scorpius' compartmentalization
of duplicity
- There's a joke about John's piece being in their hands that I can't quite get to.
- Macbeth, I'm impressed, but slightly worried about where it's going.
- "It's the hat." Yup, Aeryn's right.
- Oh well , that was obviously going to happen.
- Scorpy on the edge of a nervous breakdown, ha ha ha.
- Severe over ride feedback loop
- I had forgotten about D'Argo's hay fever.
- The shocking realisation that, yes, John really is dumb enough to leave a nuclear bomb in a lift.
- They had to sling in a fart in a lift gag
somewhere
- That's a cool party trick of Sikozu's.
- Braca, in a bid to survive, has his feelings
utterly crushed by Graza
- Dead-Eye Granny.
- If they were going to tunnel anywhere, it was going to be there.
- It's only now that Chiana considers the
possibility that they're cursed
- What about the radiation from the bomb? Surely's that's going to kill people too.
- Hi there!
- Aw, Chiana and D'Argo!
- Euw, Sikozu and Scorpius!
- Is John just maudlin or is he losing it?

Bad Timing
- So, a complete history of Farscape in one long ‘previously’. It’s been a weird show, but a good one.
Frigging hell, montage ahoy. And it's
still unintelligible to the uninitiated
- ‘And finally’ Noooo!
- Well, if the Scarrens are going to Earth, there’s not a great deal that John can do about it.
- Agh, hate this screwy narrative style.
- "Will they ever be ready?" Not any
time soon
- Sikozu's wearing Scorpius' clothes? Eww
- A Dear John bomb!
- Aeryn’s letting that one slide past, Scorpius. Reason has always had very little to do with John’s plans.
- Cool, they’re finally blowing Scorpius out of an airlock and they’re getting rid of that annoying Sikozu too.
- That was a bit harsh, John, if you torch that piece of paper you can’t rescue it later when you realise that you actually wrote something very important on it.
- Chiana suggested sex, Norante suggested drugs, all that’s left is for John to try rock and roll.
- Extended starburst? Why have they not tried
this before? I can see why they might not want to do it again, but
still
- Aw, Aeryn is John’s writer’s block breaker.
- Tell him Aeryn! Tell him you’re really pregnant, not just semi-pregnant!
- That wasn't maths, that was prose
- Oh, the title narration. Cool.
- Braca is gorgeous, I had to say it. I
understand that I'm deranged
- Rabbit suits! Harvey is finally in a rabbit suit! Oh words cannot express how much I love this show.
Plus, the sight of Ben Browder in a rabbit suit is strangely attractive.
- Yes the rabbit suits! How can they cancel
this?
- Gagh, Scorpius and Sikozu writhing is a bit much for me to take.
- Oh great thinks Moya, they cut out my Pilot and replace him with Stark?
- “Mine!” says Chiana, taking great pleasure in smacking Stark around the face.
- How the hell did John get patched through to his father’s telephone from speaking on the moon?
- How is his father supposed to retrieve the dictaphone from the moon,
exactly?
- Is "ignore them" Scarran for 'open
fire'?
- Spanish again? Does John revert to Spanish in moments of great stress, like Bitca?
- Hah! I knew it! She’s pregnant!
- "It's yours" as if we didn't know
- "We're having a baby!" I'm a real
man! I have proof my penis works!
- Oh, I love this alien commentary on the proposal.
- Aw, a big sappy ending, just what I wanted. So, what’s going to go wrong now?
- Duck!
- Oh my God! That alien’s head! It’s so cool and gross at the same time!
- Jump overboard!
- They're disintegrated?! No! No! No! That's
not allowed!!!
- Is that them on the bottom of the boat or is
it a rug? Either way it's gross
- NOOOOOOOOOOO! AAAAAARGGGH! And they’re not making another series! And the baby….(weeps quietly, then changes her mind and bawls loudly).
They knew they were being cancelled,
they could have wiped the TBC off the screen and we could all have
gone away and sobbed like bereft children, but no. To Be Continued
To Be Con-f***ing-tinued. You bastards!
