Ha! I was thinking the same thing about Zhann. If I were a plant, I'd keep some soil handy. I also agree with the whole screaming Amazon lady nit. Why is she still alive? The last guy puked and died in a very short time. Why didn't she? (side note: did anyone else think that the last guy was going to infect the whole crew with his disease? I sure did.)

Wow, talk about a rollercoaster ride.

I think this one ranks among my favourite Farscape eps. Too much going on to take it all in at once. Very nice.

I agree with TUE though, I don't understand how they can even /think/ of leaving Moya. The only problem with that whole thread of the plot is that you just know Moya and Pilot are going to be OK at the end of it all. Farscape may be into taking odd twists and turns but I think that is too big an event even for this show. Moya is more part of Farscape than any of the other crew.

I have to wonder if that planet Zhann saw out of Moya's window IS actually Earth or not. OK, the creature was but that might only be intended to make you think it is real. Damm, I can't wait a week for the second part.

As for the Jules (sp?) was it ever fully explained that anything was taken from her to help John? She did say that something was taken from her brother (I think) to help John and that may be why he croaked it. As for the word of Grunchlik, I'm not to sure I'd believe his word that /all/ his "donors" were frozen at the point of death.

I can’t decide whether I loved this episode or not – I think I’d need to see it about three more times (along with the next ep) to discover whether everything that happened fits together nicely or is too much. I agree with the others above – far too much happened to be able to grasp in one go and although this added to the frenetic feel of the episode, it wasn’t fair on people who weren’t taping it.

There were moments when I wasn’t sure whether bits had been edited from the BBC transmission or I was just not concentrating hard enough. The decision that some of the aliens would have to die didn’t seem to have any reasoning behind it – nobody from Moya seems to be under threat because of the separation.

I disagree with SK’s assertion that there’s no doubt that Moya will survive. This series seems capable of taking the same risk as Blake’s 7 did and I could actually envisage them losing Moya and Pilot if TPTB felt that it would make a good story development. It’s going to be a long wait til next Monday!

How does a muppet project so much emotion even when it’s not doing or saying anything?! I was practically weeping over the unconscious Pilot.

If I was Wayne, I would have been really unhappy about having to spend umpteen hours in the make-up chair and then be stuffed into the leather outfit all for the sake of about five lines! I’d rather have had the week off and lost some money! I wonder if they filmed that scene last week? But whatever – it was worth it for the classic line, “I’m beginning to long for the dumpster.”

I had to rewind and watch the last scene several times before I realised that the image John was looking at was the Three Stooges. The guy in the middle looked so much like Londo Mollari from Babylon 5 that I couldn’t recognise him as anyone else for a long time! But that led me on to wondering: why had John got an image of the Three Stooges? Was the alien device just picking up transmissions from the various places it was passing rather than getting images of the places themselves?

Not a nit, just a gripe: I have a nasty feeling (and don’t spoil it for me, people who’ve already seen ahead) that the new redhead is going to be a long term character. I really hope not, cos I can’t stand her! But then again, Chiana honked me off to start with and I adore her now. Whatever, I hope they do remember to explain why the redhead didn’t die the moment she revived. I’m guessing at the moment that she was bunged into stasis for ominous reasons, like the Scarran had been a couple of episodes ago.

And finally, I know I’m dopey but “could’a, would’a, should’a” what??! John’s comment to Pilot completely lost me.

could’a, would’a, should’a done things differently

How does anyone understand Jool? There was a big scene about giving Neeyala a translation chip but nobody ever gave Jool a chip - unless the DRDs had attached one to her while she was still dead!

I figured that since she seems to be from that part of the universe, (galaxy, whatever), she had the translator microbes implanted long ago.

coulda, woulda, shoulda ignored that wormhole and got Zhaan to a good planet ASAP.

So, why is it that Jool's first scream makes both Rygel and Crichton cringe but later, she screams with Chiana around, who seemed to have problems with loudness in Through the Looking Glass and she didn't bat an eyelash?
