We review a couple of dark episodes on the day before Halloween, which is fitting we guess. First up â ââŠDifferent Destinationsâ. Where the crew accidentally go back in time and try to set right what they messed up by trying to make sure they didnât mess history up. But this isnât your typical time travel episode where things all turn out the same or better in the end. Afterall, this is Farscape weâre talking about. Finally the really dark episode, âEat Meâ. Farscapeâs survival horror episode. Where the crew fend off cannibalistic pseudo-zombies and a mad scientist on a diseased and dying Leviathan. And where the ending leaves the crew seeing double⊠double Crichtons.

We have our first two parter of season 3 already. And itâs not a happy, fun time for our wayward crew. First up â âSelf-Inflicted Wounds (Part 1): Couldâa, Wouldâa, Shouldâaâ. While on their way to a planet that can help Zhaan heal, Moya runs across a wormhole. Before anyone can do anything, a ship comes out of it and materializes part way inside Moya. The crews of both ships work on ways to separate themselves, but it seems the aliens on the other ship have ulterior motives. And we meet our newest crewmember - Jool. Finally in âSelf-Inflicted Wounds (Part 2): Wait for the Wheelâ, we learn that the aliens are sabotaging Moya so their ship can be the only one to escape the wormhole. Our crew must put their differences of opinions and desires aside to save them all before the aliensâ plans are realized. And one of our crew makes the ultimate sacrifice.

Eric and Jason are back after an extended time away, some of which was out of their control. They jump into the beginning of season three â which now has new opening theme music, ânewâ cast members and a new narration. First up, the exciting conclusion to the end of season two, âSeason of Deathâ. Thatâs the name of the episode, not the name of the last season⊠Does Aeryn come back to life? Does Crichton get his head back together, both literally and psychologically? Does Rygel really like what Chianaâs cooking? Then we wrap up with âSuns and Loversâ. Where we hopefully put the whole DâArgo / Chiana / Jothee love triangle behind us, never to be spoken of again. And not just because the crew is trapped on a disabled space station about to be destroyed by a mysterious wave of energy soon approaching. Can they find the source of the signal attracting the wave in time? Can they saved the trapped children and themselves? And can Aeryn and Crichton finally find some âalone timeâ?

Eric and Jason close out season two of Farscape with a pair of episodes reviews and then the season two review, lowlights and highlights. First up, âLiars, Guns and Money (Part 3): Plan Bâ. Instead of using their newly obtained mercenaries to rescue DâArgoâs son, now theyâre off to rescue Crichton from Scorpiusâ clutches. But donât worry, Stark has another foolproof plan⊠ah, frell that, itâs time for a guns blazing, frontal assault! They manage to rescue Crichton, but at what cost? Finally, âDie Me, Dichotomyâ, the (mostly) exciting season two cliffhanger. The crew locates a healer who can both heal Moya and get the neural chip out of Crichtonâs head. But the chip isnât having any of that and does its best to get itself, and Crichton, back to Scorpius. And then some other things happen that weâd like to forget about, before the exciting cliffhanger ending that sets up season three.

Eric and Jason review the first two parts of Farscapeâs second ever three part storyline, âLiars, Guns and Moneyâ. And during all that, wander off on tangents about Star Wars, the A-Team and past episodes of this here podcast. First up, âPart 1 - A Not So Simple Planâ. Which is pretty much as advertised. Stark (hey, isnât he dead?) has a not so simple plan to steal enough money to buy DâArgoâs son Jothee from the slavers holding him captive. With such a complicated plan, it goes off without any issues at all. No⊠who are we kidding? Of course not. The crew must deal with a heavily secured depository, its leader, and our old buddy Scorpius to get what they need. Finally, âPart 2 - With Friends Like TheseâŠâ. After learning that all their efforts last time werenât quite good enough, this time itâs Crichton who comes up with his own somewhat simpler plan to free Jothee. But it involves recruiting several people we met in season one who they didnât leave on the best of terms with. It goes better than youâd expect, but thereâs yet another complication that might make their hard work all for naught. And Crichton has to make a hard choiceâŠ

Eric and Jason have been gone for a little while due to real life, but weâre back with two above average episodes to make up for it. First up, âThe Ugly Truthâ, where Crais tries to get Moyaâs crew to help him disarm Talyn. But things donât go according to plan and the crew has to recount, from each of their perspectives, what went wrong or else face summary execution. Finally, âA Clockwork Nebariâ, where Chiana learns some truths, some ugly, some not-so-ugly, about her people and her brother. Meanwhile the crew is mentally cleansed by the aforementioned Nebari and have to snap out of it if theyâre going to get away. Itâs like totally bitchinâ, man. Far out.

This time we review two really amazing episodes. Granted, in the grand scheme of things, they didnât really happen but theyâre still amazing. First up, âWonât Get Fooled Againâ, where Crichton is back on Earth again. Or is he? This time itâs completely different⊠and just keeps getting crazier and crazier. And we also prove conclusively that the 2000âs line-up of the Guardians of the Galaxy is a complete rip-off (homage?) of Farscape. We wrap up with âThe Locketâ where the crew gets all timey-wimey inside a misty space bubble. Aeryn and Crichton are stranded on nearby planet that seems to only appear every 55 years while Moya and the rest of the crew never age. How can they all get reunited and back to their normal ages before itâs too late? And our old buddy Stark is back with some dire news for DâArgo.

We conclude the amazing three part âLook at the Princessâ trilogy and then talk about a not-so-amazing story. First up, the exciting conclusion of the trilogy, âLook at the Princess, Part 3: The Maltese Crichtonâ. They manage to wrap up all the plotlines from the last two episodes in a very satisfying way. And start up a new plotline that will run for many more episodes. Everyone gets a happy ending. Well⊠almost. Finally, âBeware of Dogâ gets a mixed review from both of us. We felt the main plot was a rehash of a couple of different season one episodes. However, we really loved the subplot about Crichtonâs continuing interaction with visions of Scorpius that are becoming more and more frequent and intense.

Eric and Jason watch the first two episodes of an amazing three part Farscape epic â âLook at the Princessâ. In âPart 1: A Kiss is but a Kissâ, we enter a world full of political and social intrigue. Crichton canât catch a break between Aeryn, who canât commit more to their relationship, a princess to whom Crichton is the only one genetically compatible who needs a husband so her scheming brother doesnât become ruler, and our old buddy Scorpius who wants to dissect Crichtonâs brain. While those relationships are complicated, DâArgo and Chianaâs budding new relationship is getting more intense. In âPart 2: I Do, I Thinkâ, Crichton has no choice but to marry the princess to escape Scorpius. But thereâs a downside to married royal life⊠he and the princess must spend the next 80 cycles as statues. What will the crew do to prevent that? What will all the scheming political envoys do to either prevent the marriage or make it succeed? Oh, and Zhaan and Pilot meet Moyaâs creator. And itâs not happy that she gave birth to a gunship and proceeds to shut her down, for good.

Weâre almost halfway through season two! Farscape season two is in its groove as Eric and Jason review another two really good episodes (hey, spoilers!) First up, âOut of Their Mindsâ, where an unfortunate side effect of a strange alien shipâs weapon and Moyaâs defense screen causes the crew to switch bodies. Several times. We also learn that the DRDâs have more functions than we previously realized. Oh, and the attacking aliens have programmable vomit. Yes, you read that correctly. Finally, we review âMy Three Crichtonsâ, where the crew has to deal with the clones of Crichton Past and Crichton Future that some strange ball of energy created. Which Crichton winds up as the âLast Crichton Standingâ? But whereâs Uncle Charley? Okay, that last one was probably too old a reference to âMy Three Sonsâ, go look that up on Wikipedia kidsâŠ

We continue our rewatch of season two. First up, âHome on the Remainsâ, where Eric and Jason struggle with the pronunciations of the guest star character names. The crew is starving (what, no more crackers?) and go to a place Chiana used to call home to try to find some more food. Only to get caught up in the local power scheme of keeping people working in the mines to pay for food and protection from the mysterious, deadly creature that roams the mines. Finally, we review âDream a Little Dreamâ, where we learn what happened to the rest of the crew after the ending of season one while Aeryn, John and DâArgo were away from Moya. The crew winds up on a planet full of lawyers. And for once, itâs not Chiana or Rygel that youâd think would run afoul of the law⊠no, itâs Zhaan. Can Chiana and Rygel prove Zhaanâs innocence and get off the planet before Moya leaves?

Season two is back to being what we know and love about Farscape. Yay! First up, âThe Way We Werenâtâ, where we finally get the backstory on Pilot and how he came to be bonded to Moya. We also learn that Aeryn was there as well, much to the crewâs shock and anger after seeing her on a previously undiscovered recording. Will they and Pilot forgive her for what she did back then? Finally, we review âPicture If You Willâ, where a shopkeeper gifts Chiana with a picture that can seemingly foretell the future. Or can it? Nope, itâs just the crewâs old maniacal super powerful adversary Maldis getting his revenge on them for what they did to him last season. They barely beat him last time with help they no longer have. Can they defeat him this time?

Farscape has seemed to hit what can only be described as a âSophomore Slumpâ with the first part of season two. But Jason and Eric power through these next episodes as we know better things are to come. First up, âTaking the Stoneâ, where Chiana is having a rough time and goes to a nearby cemetery planet (yes, you read that right) to clear her head. We learn that Crichton really wants her to come back to Moya, even if he has to do things way out of character to make that happen. And Rygel âborrowsâ some nice shiny objects from one of the graves on the cemetery planet. Nothing bad ever happens to grave robbers, right? Finally, we review âCrackers Donât Matterâ, where an alien has offered to make Moya undetectable by scans. Which will surely come in handy since Scorpius has left lots of wanted beacons on the planet they just came from where they only had time to buy food crackers⊠lots and lots of crackers. However, the crew starts acting abnormally when going to the alienâs planet⊠to the point of insulting, assaulting and even attempting to kill each other. Whatâs going on? Can they figure it out before itâs too late? And what about all those crackers? Oh right, they donât matter.

We kick off season two of Farscape with somewhat of a mixed review. First up, episode one, âMind the Babyâ, where we pick up after the exciting events of the season one finale. Can the crew be reunited in time before Scorpius finds both Moya and her offspring Talyn? Can they finally escape this asteroid field? John and DâArgo get some more bonding time. And Talyn is being a pain in the neck, literally, for Crais. And then we âdiscussâ episode two, âVitas Mortisâ. There are some good âFarscape nuggetsâ to mine from the episode despite what we thought of the main plot. Oh well, they all canât be winners.

After a little bit of a delay, we have way too much fun wrapping up season one of Farscape. First up, âBone to Be Wildâ, where we discuss where the heck Stark disappeared to after leaving with the crew last episode; how does gravity work on an asteroid; how do Leviathans have their inorganic parts installed; and the fall of Commander Crais and the rise of Scorpius as the big bad for the series. Then we cover the season one finale, âFamily Tiesâ. Where we discuss where the heck one of the guest stars of the last episode disappeared to after leaving with the Peacekeepers; did Rygel really try to sell out the whole crew to save himself; how planning your big escape plan is shown and not skipped over; and some more great character development and interaction that weâve come to expect from Farscape. Finally, we recap our thoughts about the entire season⊠the lowlights and the highlights. And that even the lowlights have some bits worth watching⊠not just because we have to for the podcast. Next time, onward to season two!

Farscape delivers its first two-part episode and it does not disappoint! In the first part, âNerveâ, Aerynâs still suffering from the wound she received in the last episode. And the only cure just happens to be on the secret Peacekeeper base nearby. Crichton and Chiana go there to get it and wind up meeting an old friend, a potential new friend and a new enemy. The Peacekeeper Scorpius captures Crichton and subjects him to the Aurora Chair, a device that rather painfully extracts your memories. We leave Crichton trapped in the comfy chair as we end on our first cliffhanger⊠But we donât have to wait months for a resolution, no, itâs right on to the next episode, âThe Hidden Memoryâ. Scorpius learns of Crichtonâs feud with Captain Crais and summons him to the secret base. While the crew mount a rescue mission, Moya goes into labor! But thereâs something not right with the baby. Can the crew rescue Crichton before he breaks in the chair? Whatâs up with Moyaâs baby? What will Aeryn do when she finally meets Crais again? Listen and find out!

Season One is getting closer and closer to being over. In our first episode, âThrough the Looking Glassâ, Crichton does a lot of running around, through four different Moyas in multiple dimensions due to Moya getting stuck in Starburst. And apparently they are not alone as something really wants them to leave. On top of that, each dimension has a different negative effect on the crew. Can they overcome these strange environments and the lurking presence and get back to normal space? And whatâs with all the food at dinner? Both times! Finally, we review âA Bugâs Lifeâ. No, not the 1998 Pixar movie â the 1999 Farscape episode with the same name. Moya welcomes a Peacekeeper Special Ops unit on board whose ship is damaged. Theyâre taking their top secret cargo to an also top secret Peacekeeper base hidden in the Uncharted Territories. So of course, Rygel and Chiana open up the cargo and release the deadly body-possessing, body-hopping virus inside. Itâs a race against time to find out whoâs got the virus and neutralize it before it can escape the ship and infect whole worlds!

Eric and Jason cover two really great episodes. First up, âDurka Returnsâ, where â you guessed it â the Peacekeeper Durka who imprisoned and tortured Rygel for 130 years returns seemingly from the dead. But now heâs a kinder, gentler Durka courtesy of the Nebari and their âmental cleansingâ. Or is he? Letâs see how Rygel reacts to this. The Nebari also have a prisoner, Chiana, who doesnât wish to be cleansed and wants asylum on Moya. Will the crew let her stay? Finally we review âA Human Reactionâ. Crichton finds a wormhole back to Earth! But after being gone for seven months, and having translator microbes in his head, and strange technology on his spaceship, heâs not exactly welcomed back with open arms. Things get even worse when the rest of the crew show up unannounced. Can they get away before theyâre poked, prodded and dissected by the military? Why does Crichton think everyone he sees in Australia is someone he knows from his past? Is there some unseen force behind all this?

Eric and Jason continue their rewatch of every episode of Farscape. This means that sometimes you watch some that are good and sometimes some that are not so good. First up, the mostly not good âThe Flaxâ. Where Aeryn and John finally reveal their true feelings for one another (the good) and the rest of the crew do things we donât really care about (the not-so-good). We wrap it up with âJeremiah Crichtonâ. We didnât dislike it as much as the cast and crew apparently did. Itâs a mostly good episode where Crichton goes native and where Rygel finally appears to care about other people instead of just looking out for himself.

In âTill the Blood Runs Clearâ, Crichton finally manages to recreate a wormhole, but it isnât stable. Crichton and Aeryn meet a new friend who can repair his ship â for a steep price, while DâArgo meets some not so friendly, and not so bright, bounty hunters. Finally, âRhapsody in Blueâ, where the crew are summoned to a planet with some other Delvian priests like Zhaan. We learn some of Zhaanâs darkest secrets and what some of her people will try to do to throw off Peacekeeper rule. And our crew has to struggle with whatâs real⊠and whatâs not.
