(First watched 2010-02-19) It's kind of a pet nitpick of mine when we have what appears to be a low-tech fairly static small society going on, but even over hundreds of years one village still has such racial diversity. Beyond everyone being REALLY picky about mating with people of their own skin type, things ought to average out much more. Of course, casting a bunch of appropriately muddled-race extras is easier said than done. | (First watched 2010-02-19) It's kind of a pet nitpick of mine when we have what appears to be a low-tech fairly static small society going on, but even over hundreds of years one village still has such racial diversity.

Also, so they spent a quarter of a cycle looking for him... 3 months... is there a Farscape replacement term for months? Anyway, that basically means they spent as much time ''looking'' for Crichton as they'd known him in total before. Half of Crichton's time away from Earth has been on that planet. D'Argo's sure pretty willing to keep the search on, considering how many times he's been frustrated with Crichton wanting to spend a few more minuets or hours someplace and threatened to leave him behind. | |||

115: ''' | 115: '''Durka Returns''' ''[[1999]] [[August 13]]'' | ||
(First watched 2010-02-21) So I know shows are built on MAJOR COINCIDENCE, but in their bopping around of the giganticness that is SPACE, the crew of the Moya not only happen across the Zelbinian, but less than a year later run across the sole survivor. | |||
I like the fact that Durka's reprogramming was actually working until Rygel bombed him. Speaking of which, Rygel is a lot tougher here against the live Durka than he was against the imaginary version he was seeing on the Zelbinian. | |||
So Chiana... a mid-late-season-1 cast addition is a pretty strange thing. | |||

116: ''' | 116: '''A Human Reaction''' ''[[1999]] [[August 1]]'' | ||
(First watched 2010-02-21) So seeing Earth through the wormhole seemed another MAJOR COINCIDENCE. But the story explanation that the wormhole over Earth was actually a permanent fixture there kinda helped make that believable--in that a wormhole is always open at Earth, and bopping around a bit in the uncharted territories. However, that was just a BS cover story anyway. | |||
I knew there was going to be a reset button of some sort, but when it appeared Rygel was dead and D'Argo missing, I was a little worried that Farscape would turn into Tenchi Muyo. | |||
Even though it ended up being a false Earth, I liked the continuity with the first episode, like that Gagarin ring. | |||
Interesting that immediately after introducing a new character, there's an episode she's barely in at all. | |||
