If Scorpius and this other alien thingy (I can't remember what it was called now!) are so clever at getting into John's brain and making it see what they want it to see, they've obviously got very clever equipment. So why the frell can't they just pull out the information about the wormhole that they want?!

When I first saw Aeryn on Earth, I was hoping that we'd see Zhann, Chiana etc out of make-up and looking human (a bit like ST:DS9's Far Beyond the Stars) and was a bit disappointed when we didn't. Mind you, I don't know how they'd have managed Rygel and Pilot, unless they'd used the actors who do their voices.

If the alien was working so hard to make John believe that the world he was seeing was real, why was John allowed to walk away after throwing 'Rygel' to his death instead of being arrested?

I liked this episode, was good fun :)

I was hoping to see the cast out of make-up as well but sadly it wasn't to be.

To answer your first question Callie...I'll guess that as well as planting that info in Johns mind, the Ancients made sure that anyone else going after the data would have a hard time of it. I'm assuming theres fail safes and mental blocks and stuff hiding in there as well as Scorpy which is why Scorpy himself has still to get at the info even although he has direct access to Johns subconscious.


As for the Scarran (I think thats how its spelt) and his mind control. I'm guessing he was thinking that having John see Rygel again would aid in the cracking of Johns mind. OK so it doesn't keep up the illusion that this Earth was real but...John had already had decided that this wasn't the real Earth after seeing Rygel so the Scarran must of known/guessed this which is why it all descended into a kind of surreal reality. The Scarran knew the game was up and was trying hard to keep John off balance.

"Boogie or die", the quote of the episode.

Well, we did sorta see Pilot without his makeup.... Hes the cop who was wearing red highheels. But then again, we've been seing Pilot without makeup since the first episode. The same man does the voice of Pilot and plays Crais.

Just watched this ep again on DVD...Rygel in leather..*shudder* Well thats my sleep gone..

Ok, Im probably going to regret this, but just before Sparky goes into his "This is for Buckwheat! Whatever that means." routine, they show Aeryn fiddling with some kind of device. What was it?

"Boogie or Die" was a great line, but then again, all of Dargo's lines were great! "No time for beer" "John, lately I've been thinking of you in a new way." I would appreciate someone posting the real quotes, because my copy of this episode was destroyed by a falling bookcase.

After reading about this episode, without actually seeing it, had me wondering what were they thinking. Well, after seeing, I still was wondering, what were they thinking? Anyways, I thought it was a catchy episode. I thought Dirgo was hilarous in the car with John.
Though, the best part was seeing Pilot get jiggy with it. I can die now!!! ;-)

Here y’go, Merat, some of the best lines:

Zhaan: I’m Doctor Kaminski.
John: Uh huh. And you are a psychiatrist?
Zhaan: Mmm hmm.
John: I don’t think so. On Earth, psychiatrists don’t come in blue.
Zhaan: Do you have a problem with people of colour?
John: I have a contextual problem. You’re an alien.
Zhaan: Yes that’s true – but I do have a green card.
John: Interesting. Are you or are you not … blue?
Zhaan: Would it matter if I was?
John: Do you always answer a question with a question?
Zhaan: Does that bother you?

Dargo: How you doin’? My name’s Gary Raygal, I know you, you are John Crichton, I heard you’re a hell of a flyer, let’s go have a beer.
PK: We don’t have time for beer.
Dargo (sarcastically): Oooh, no time for beer!
John: Beer? (Dargo nods.) Keys.
Dargo tosses him his car keys, then turns to PK and takes his head in his hands.
Dargo: My friend, one thing you have to learn – there is always time for beer.

Scorpius at the bar, while another Scorpius is on the drums.
John: Dig your style, Ringo.
Scorpius: John, we haven’t got much time.
John (looking across at the drummer): Twins? Pity your mother.

Crais (clutching a white Scotty dog for no good reason): Have you any idea how much trouble you’re in?
John: Yeah. Do you?
Crais: I like your style, hombre, but this is no laughing matter. Assault on a police officer; theft of police property; illegal possession of a firearm; five counts of attempted murder. That comes to … twenty nine dollars and forty cents. Cash, cheque or credit card?

Scorpius explains about the neural chip containing his personality which he has implanted in John’s brain.
John (giggles insanely): You’re Harvey! Or is it Clarence? Guardian angel … invisible rabbit … (thinks about it) … Harvey.

Crais (in high heels!) tells John he’s under arrest.
Crais: You can make one phone call. I recommend Christine – 976 555 LOVE. Do you understand these rights as I have explained them to you? Well do you, punk?
John: No.
Crais (furiously): Then I can’t arrest you!

Dargo (in an effeminate voice): John, I really need to just unburden myself on you.
John: What?
Dargo: Well, lately I’ve been thinking about you in a very different way.
John: Uh huh?
Dargo: Mmm hmm. And I was wondering if you would mind participating with me in a little Luxan bonding ritual. (John starts giggling as Dargo continues) Here’s the thing, OK? What we need are some chains, my Qualtar blade, just a little squirt of lelter oil and (squeals) Oh! … Chiana.
John: Chiana.
Dargo. Yeah. She wants to watch.
John (half laughing, half serious): Oh, no.
Dargo strokes John’s face with one finger.
Dargo (in his normal voice, ominously): Oh yes.

Yay! Thanks, Callie! By the way, that last exchange is my favorite. Makes me wonder how Dargo got John to join him on that cliff... in a convertable....

Oops! Missed a line – and one of the best ones! – probably because I hadn’t been able to work out what the final word was, despite rewinding several times. I think it was a made-up alien word that we may or may not have heard before. I’ll substitute the word ‘luck’ here instead:

Crais (arresting John): You have the right to the remains of a silent attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, tough luck! You can make one phone call ... (and so on, as above)

Was it "tough noogies"?

Either that or "noobies". I don't even want to think about what it's meant to mean!

Hahahahahahaha!!!!!

And I thought Scorpius and Pilot as the "cantina band" were hilarious but the Rygel as sex-slug...

Wasn't Crais' dog even called "Toto"?

A "noogie" is when you rub someone's head, hard, with your knuckles, Callie It has come to be a more polite way of saying, "tough ****".

Still confused as to what that "device" was....

I think "nurse" Aeryn wanted to measure John's body temperature...

Btw, it's interesting that Farscape's "pistols" can be set to "overload" too...

Just watched a Red Dwarf episode which featured a similar looking device. Lister was using it to store lemon juice, but it was actually a device used for artifical-insemination of cows.... Boy, I hope this isn't the same device!

Hm, do you too think that it had something to do with Rygel's rather unusual clothing? Crichton was very lucky to escape!
