(First watched ) | (First watched 2010-08-27) So obviously a setup episode, but still has its interesting bits. The "shared pain bracelets" or whatever even gave Braca something a bit more interesting than usual to do. And though we know it's ultimately for a ruse alliance, Scorpius and Rygel sort of... combatively allying against their captors was neat to watch. | ||
Talyn, on the other hand, has gone batshit. Destroying a medical ship and attacking Moya. | |||

(First watched ) | (First watched 2010-08-28) Good stuff. Good good stuff. John faking help as a way to destroy their work, but becomes more confused about what's right after viewing the Scorpius backstory episode. However, things fall to shit of course, especially with the meddling of Scorpius's Peacekeeper opposition. Then we see the nasty side of Scorpius come out. | ||
I've got to think this whole quest against every major power getting wormhole technology is a bit quixotic, though. A reasonable wish, maybe, but technology progresses. It's like if a handful of people working in the 1930s-50s tried to prevent the world from unlocking atomic power--they could only hold things back for so long. | |||
I think my biggest problem with this episode was that with so many people trying to fool so many other people, it became impossible to tell what half of the people were REALLY up to. Crais and his old flame were the biggest examples. | |||
So they tried to find a method of destroying the ship that would allow people to escape. But I wonder how many of those ~50,000 didn't make it? Things were a WEE bit hectic. For that matter, how does Scorpius get off? We see him walk off, but I'm not buying that as the end. | |||
Speaking of Scorpius, I'm more and more loving Harvey. All the time he becomes more apart from Scorpius. He seems to realize he's the minor power in John's head, no longer has the same passion about giving wormhole technology to the Peacekeepers, and is fully into just making sure Crichton stays alive since it means he stays alive. Also by being in John's head he gets to pull out all the crazy Earth knowledge usually only John knows. | |||

(First watched ) | (First watched 2010-08-28) I wasn't buying Crais and Talyn as really dead last episode. I figured we'd find they successfully starburst to someplace else after all. However, in this episode they actually have the wreckage of Talyn... so that seems that. There's always the chance Crais somehow got out or that some weird doubling happened as we've seen with half the other characters, but for now they are looking DEAD. Wow. | ||
Also Wow, that ship of D'Argo's can basically disintegrate a Leviathan with one shot? | |||
What's the deal with that crazy old lady? Someone they helped rescue from the command carrier, who cooks for them, causes hallucinations, and in the end possibly has a part in apparently sucking Moya into a wormhole? | |||
And what a cliffhanger. Aeryn gone and pregnant, presumably with John 1's child--this especially brings new light to her antipathy about John 2. Moya, as just said, sucked into a wormhole. John 2 stuck in Farscape One on his own with little fuel. | |||
I know they wanted it for the episode title, but I don't think the story John brings up about the dog with two bones is very analogous. The dog is stupid, and in attempting to double what he's already got by biting for a reflection, loses the thing he has. John's situation is different. He's like a dog that sees two definitely distinct bones, doesn't think he can fit both into his mouth, and doesn't know what to do about it. | |||
