(First watched ) | (First watched 2010-08-20) What a weird episode. Especially the weird editing. And in the end we are left wondering how much of it was actually real, or was it just Crichton BSing? | ||

(First watched ) | (First watched 2010-08-24) Awwww, John. John John John. I didn't think they'd kill him off; then I realized "Of course they will; he's got the wormhole knowledge and it's a two-parter." In honor of his sacrifice, I dub him John 1. | ||
So I've really enjoyed this split crew thing, but clearly with them killing off one of the Johns it must be coming to an end soon. And though I thought the Aeryn/John 1 relationship would be awkward when reunited with John 2, it may be even weirder now. Aeryn and John 2 still share most of the same relationship, but not the most passionate month-or-two, and now there's the additional complication of John 2 reminding her of a dead lover--his equal and original alternate. | |||
The Ancient done in CG was quite more believable than the old prop, even if it was only shown very briefly. | |||
Kind of weird: The recreation of John's module is so complete that it includes the lettering and logos? Rather than her sticking "Furlow One" or whatever on there? | |||

(First watched ) | (First watched 2010-08-25) When I considered how they would follow up a big thing like the death of John 1... I was totally not expecting John 2 to be dreaming up a Looney Tunes parody. When it was just Scorpius showing up in animated form it was great. But then nearly half the episode was a Crichton/D'Argo take on Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote. Friggin' awesome. | ||

(First watched ) | (First watched 2010-08-25) So much for Aeryn's mom. | ||
Also, Stark is off again, searching for Zhaan. I guess with the crews bound to reunite they wanted to pare down a little for a while? | |||

(First watched ) | (First watched 2010-08-25) Haha. A parallel group of escaped prisoners. The tough guy, the Nebari, the Hynerian, all of whom buddy up with their Moya/Talyn counterparts. Rygel's counterpart ends up betraying them to the Peacekeepers, but it's not like it's something he hasn't done and repeatedly threatened on other occasions. Of course in this case she's not a regular so they can kill her off. | ||
John 1 shows up again in message form. Given the circumstances he and John 2 "get along" much more this time than before. Interesting that they still hit a draw on rock paper scissors. I was wondering if due to their diverging paths they would now no longer pick the same thing, but I guess it works better this way than to have had one of them ''win'' over the other. | |||
So after being hinted at a few times before, it seems pretty confirmed that Chiana is getting glimpses of the future. What's up with that? | |||

319: '''I-Yensch, You-Yensch''' ''[[2002]] [[April 5]]'' | 319: '''I-Yensch, You-Yensch''' ''[[2002]] [[April 5]]'' | ||
(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. | |||

322: '''Dog With Two Bones''' ''[[2002]] [[April 26]]'' | 322: '''Dog With Two Bones''' ''[[2002]] [[April 26]]'' | ||
(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. | |||
