Farscape Season 3
SPOILERS TOTAL. You've been warned.

301: Season of Death 2001 March 16
(First watched 2010-07-20) Big stuff. Aeryn was of course mostly dead. Jothee and Chiana consumate their relationship. Scorpius fakes death again. John gets his brain fixed with the full-death of one of the frozen people.
The simplicity of people going into and out of freezing reminded me of Futurama.
Then there's the all-new opening sequence with a new theme song and the addition of Stark, Crais, and Scorpius to the main cast. That's big.

302: Suns and Lovers 2001 March 23
(First watched 2010-07-28) So the shit hits the fan. I'm starting to see that the whole D'Argo/Chiana thing only came into being so D'Argo could be crushed by Jothee/Chiana.

304: Self-Inflicted Wounds Part II: Wait for the Wheel 2001 April 6
(First watched 2010-08-11) I know these episodes were a big deal with Zhaan going and all, but... maybe I wasn't in the right frame of mind; I didn't follow a lot of what was going on. So this other ship crashes literally INTO Moya in the wall of a wormhole, got it. So once they separate only one ship will survive, got it. Different people have different opinions on which ship should attempt to exit safely, got it. But then all the members of the other ship started allowing themselves to die for... some reason?
A lot of people shat on John as being obsessed with wormhole technology, but I didn't see it that way. It wasn't so different from what happened at the end of the episode. It was like...
John: Only one ship can survive. Moya and Pilot are already in awful shape, and the flight of my module proved Moya's parts would get fried anyway. There's no chance, so unfortunately we should look for alternatives.
Others: YOU ARE OBSESSED WITH WORMHOLES AND HATE YOUR FRIENDS, ASSHOLE. WE SHOULD TAKE THE INFINITESIMAL CHANCE OF SUCCESS!
Then later it's basically the reverse situation.
Zhaan: I'm dying, but there's no reason everyone else should need to die with me. So let me do the dangerous thing while you guys stick where it's safe.
Others: You know we were like an arn from a planet that might be good to save you, right?
Zhaan: SHUT UP, NOT LISTENING, LET ME DIE HEROICALLY AND IN THE GOOD GRACES OF GODDESS.
I can't say I'm too sorry to see Zhaan go. If I was stuck on Moya she seems like she'd be the easiest to get along with--and really that's the problem. The show gets so much from the other characters being in conflict with each other, but whenever she got into that it seemed a stretch. Like the whole ripping off of Pilot's arm. Then there was that so often they just left her on the ship while the other people went off adventuring anyway; she really wasn't being used for much.

305: ...Different Destinations 2001 April 13
(First watched 2010-08-12) So the first Zhaan-less title sequence.
Heeey, finally some time travel that wasn't just a reset button. After screwing things up horribly they set things back to as they were... mostly.
Interesting that Peacekeeper accounts of the event were so screwed up when there is literally a way to watch the past. I suppose they just had their legend going on and never bothered to come around and visit to verify.
