108: '''Premiere''' ''[[1999]] [[June 11]]''
108: '''That Old Black Magic''' ''[[1999]] [[June 11]]''


(First watched )
(First watched 2009-12-22)  So finally Crichton gets to make his case to Crais... but it turns out Crais is just an insane overprotective older brother who there's no truly convincing.  And a real dick, too, killing his loyal second in command.
 
I was sure that red guy was part of Maldis's plan.  Get Zhaan all angry, and then Maldis feeds off of it.  However, she now seems a bit... dysfunctional.

109: '''Premiere''' ''[[1999]] [[June 18]]''
109: '''DNA Mad Scientist''' ''[[1999]] [[June 18]]''


(First watched )
(First watched 2009-12-22)  Wow.  Rygel and D'Argo trying to take Pilot's arm and bickering among themselves I can see, yeah, but Zhaan?  Is this part of the lasting effect from the last episode, or does the hope of going home just push her that much over the edge?

110: '''Premiere''' ''[[1999]] [[June 25]]''
110: '''They've Got a Secret''' ''[[1999]] [[June 25]]''
 
(First watched 2010-02-16)  So flushing the Luxan into space and making him bonkers for most of the episode is their way of getting a guarded guy to reveal his backstory.  Once he started talking about how his love was forbidden and they had to find a place where it could be allowed I was sure he was either with someone of another species or a close relative; turned out to be the former.  Also we learn what his big crime was--being an alien who'd paired with a Sebatien, as well as being framed for her murder.


(First watched )
Other than that, Moya pregnant... hmm.  Really the weird thing was seeing how the Roomba DRDs could be made to seem to menacing.

111: '''Premiere''' ''[[1999]] [[July 9]]''
111: '''Till the Blood Runs Clear''' ''[[1999]] [[July 9]]''
 
(First watched 2010-02-16)  Worf?  Heh.  I think they went TOO far in making those bounty hunters dog-like, though, what with the sniffing and all.
 
Seeing Farscape One again, now patched up with Farscapey (the series) tech, is pretty cool.
 
So those readings he paid the mechanic with at the end... she has something to read scientific data from Earth tapes, huh?
 
So Crichton was upset that his readings of the wormhole creation were the price for fixing Farscape One... but really it doesn't seem that big a deal to me.  I mean, they got those readings after like 1 minute of attempt, so in the odd case where he's in another flare region it doesn't seem like it would be hard to recreate.


(First watched )
Would he really want to jump into a random wormhole, though?  I mean, unless he takes maaaany readings and learns to either interpret them or control them, he's just as likely to end up ''farther'' from Earth, and without even the safety net of Moya and its crew.

112: '''Premiere''' ''[[1999]] [[July 16]]''
112: '''Rhapsody in Blue''' ''[[1999]] [[July 16]]''


(First watched )
(First watched 2010-02-17)  It's not until a bunch of them are together that Delvians seem so Smurf-like.

113: '''Premiere''' ''[[1999]] [[July 23]]''
113: '''The Flax''' ''[[1999]] [[July 23]]''


(First watched )
(First watched 2010-02-17)  Heeeey, Rygel actually pulled off a decent scheme for a change.

114: '''Premiere''' ''[[1999]] [[July 30]]''
114: '''Jeremiah Crichton''' ''[[1999]] [[July 30]]''
 
(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 )
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: '''Premiere''' ''[[1999]] [[August 13]]''
115: '''Durka Returns''' ''[[1999]] [[August 13]]''


(First watched )
(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: '''Premiere''' ''[[1999]] [[August 1]]''
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.


(First watched )
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.

117: '''Premiere''' ''[[1999]] [[September 10]]''
117: '''Through the Looking Glass''' ''[[1999]] [[September 10]]''


(First watched )
(First watched 2010-02-22)  Yellow Rygel was a real hoot.
 
I love that the big scary monster turned out to be communicating with prime numbers.
 
Finally a good party atmosphere ending.
 
So Moya's baby comes soon.  I was wondering how long that would take.
 
"One Mippippippi... two Mippippippi..."
 
Sooo goofy that a temporary DNA mixup some episodes back means Aeryn can now pilot a Leviathan with expertise.

118: '''Premiere''' ''[[1999]] [[September 17]]''
118: '''A Bug's Life''' ''[[1999]] [[September 17]]''
 
(First watched 2010-02-23)  "Cats and dogs living together"!


(First watched )
I thought the solution of having Zhaan mix something up was a bit flawed.  If she'd been the infected one, she could've made something up that would be harmful to non-Delvians.

119: '''Premiere''' ''[[2000]] [[January 7]]''
119: '''Nerve''' ''[[2000]] [[January 7]]''


(First watched )
(First watched 2010-02-24)  Crichton sure likes his goofy Peacekeeper accent.
 
What's with Scorpius's bondage outfit?


---
---


120: '''Premiere''' ''[[2000]] [[January 14]]''
120: '''The Hidden Memory''' ''[[2000]] [[January 14]]''
 
(First watched 2010-02-24)  So they've picked up yet another traveler.
 
So Crais is a bit of a mess, and his crimes are known to the Peacekeepers.  I suppose he'll still find some way to continue his crazy anti-Crichton crusade, though.
 
A bouncing baby... battleship?


(First watched )
So to avoid any question of where Crichton's Peackeeper desires are, they go and kill off his tech fling.  Awwww.

121: '''Premiere''' ''[[2000]] [[January 21]]''
121: '''Bone to Be Wild''' ''[[2000]] [[January 21]]''
 
(First watched 2010-02-25)  Hey, Chiana was finally added to the beginning credits rather than being listed as a guest star... on the penultimate episode of the season?  Weird timing, but oh well.
 
Where'd they disappear Stark to?
 
...Zhaan's a plant?


(First watched )
This episode sure had a lot of back and forth as they learned more about the two people on the asteroid and went back and forth over who was the greater threat.


---

122: '''Premiere''' ''[[200]] [[January 28]]''
122: '''Family Ties''' ''[[2000]] [[January 28]]''


(First watched )
(First watched 2010-02-25)  They burnt up a whole moon!?
 
Bye-bye Gagarin ring?
 
Wait... actor notice.  Crais is also Pilot's voice?  Wawawaawa
 
So of course Crais comes along to Moya for survival purposes but has stolen the baby Talon by the end of the episode.
