Does Moya grow Transport pods? How many have Crichton and company lost and/or destroyed?
Sikozu's rationalizing that the shrinking couldn't happen was a nice touch--while they didn't address the issues at least they acknowledged them.
Also, check out the Journey Logs for this episode
"Thank you, John" -- Scorpius upon finding out that Crichton gave him an unloaded weapon.
HE JUST WAXED IT AND DIDN'T WANT TO MESS IT UP.
So when these guys came attacking, why didn't D'Argo use LoLa to blast these guys into oblivion?
NEW ADDITION FOR TUE'S CHRISTMAS LIST
One of those nifty biosuits. It slices, it dices, and can shrink your enemies to an ideal squashing size.
WELL, THE KLINGONS KNEW WHO SHAKESPEARE WAS
In the beginning, Crichton says that he wants to talk to Captain James T. D'Argo. A funny line to you and me perhaps, but Noranti starts busting a gut like it's a funny joke. How the heck would she know?
"YOU CAN USE FACTS TO PROVE ANYTHING THAT'S EVEN REMOTELY TRUE" -- Homer Simpson
I liked the way that they addressed the issue of the air molecules and the brain stuff and then Rygel said that it just didn't matter. That's the kind of stuff that makes Farscape unique.
IF YOU COULD KEEP RYGEL FROM PASSING GAS EVERY FIVE MINUTES, THEN I'D BE IMPRESSED
Upon seeing D'Argo shrunk to five inches, Aeryn just raises her eyebrows and then calmly explains to Crichton what happened as if it were an everyday occurance. Well, I can't blame her. This actually ranks pretty low on the "weird-stuff-meter".
HE MAKES GUL DUKAT LOOK LIKE A BOND VILLAIN
Scorpius is sure becoming quite the three-dimentional character. I found myself actually sympathizing with that evil son of a b****. I still think he has some ulterior motives for being on Moya. I can't wait to find out what they are.
IT COULD BE WORSE. THEY COULD BE IN THE DELTA QUADRANT
So now we're off to Tormented Space. What makes the crew think that this will prevent the Scarrans and PKs from pursuing them? They say that it's a place that Scarrans and PKs avoid, but they've never had a reason to go there before. I think that it would just make their lives more difficult.
OVERALL
I liked this episode a lot. It flowed very naturally from beginning to end and we got some nice characterizations from Scorpius and Crichton. Very nice.
NEXT WEEK
Perhaps some background into what Aeryn was up to in that time she was missing?
See ya later
TUE
This was the kind of episode that reminded me why I love this show so much. Everything was top-notch.
I'm glad D'argo's new responsibilities haven't gone to his head (yet, at least). He's really a lot more of a spokesman than a captain.
I'm also glad that the issue of Scorpy's coolent rod shortage was addressed. My question is, how did Sokozu manufacture a supliment rod?
And something else that I was thinking about: what if Scorpy and somebody else (let's say Crichton) were linked together via those nerve-cuff thingies that we saw near the end of last season, and Scorpy were to overheat? What would happen to Crichton?
NSetzer:
"Does Moya grow Transport pods? How many have Crichton and company lost and/or destroyed?"
Yes, Leviathans grow pods they way they grow DRDs; I forget when they mentioned it....
As to how many they've destroyed... a lot? I think 5, so far....
From TUE:

The way I interperted that was Granny had no idea what Crichton was saying, but laughed anyways because she has a thing for him. I could be wrong, but at the end of John Quixote she did make note that she finally understood what it was like to love. Hmmm...who does she keep doing favors for?
Hmmmmm, now John's snorting that stuff Granny gave him.... How many people think he's going to be addicted very soon and have to fight to break the addiction?
Good episode. I liked it. Nice to see TPTB took time to answer the coolent rod question. Tormented Space, hmmm? Reminds me of "Lexx" (though I forget what their "space" was called).
The Dark Zone.
John did give Granny a very weird look when she was laughing. 
Ah, so Royal Scarrens don't look like "horse-faces", as John called them. This perhaps explains Scorpy's nanny Scarren's appearance. There isn't a big difference in the appearance of the sexes, but a big one in the appearance of the royals vs. commons. Interesting.
All this stuff about the Scarrens looking different depending on certain critera is becomming a little annoying actually. I'll wager Plumber Scarrans and Garbage Scarrans will look different as well if we ever get to see them.
I thought this guy just looked different because he had to be genetically altered in order to fit into the biosuit.
TUE
Did anyone else notice that John kept humming/singing along to the background music? John is getting REALLY weird.
Todays viewing of the gauntlet fight reminded me of the episode of Red Dwarf where Lister and the Inquisitor were goijng at it with the time gauntlest.
I liked this episode a whole lot more than I thought I would from synopses I’d read. It worked very nicely indeed and was a great relief after what I considered to be last week’s lousy episode.
The Coreeshi clearly watch Battlestar Galactica – it can be the only reason why they think that having their eyes flash as they speak is cool!
How could the Coreeshi pick up John’s heartbeat over all the others? And why did John seem to believe that snorting Granny’s magic powder would shut it up? Does his heart only beat that loud when he’s thinking of Aeryn?
Again various characters let loose with alien languages that the translator microbes can’t translate!
Aeryn appeared to be knocked unconscious when she was reduced, yet D’Argo was wandering around unaffected.
I could ask why the shrunk people’s voices could be heard normally by non-shrunk people, but have to presume there was something in the chambers that allowed it.
As one of the Coreeshi reduces the pulse pistol (I presume that wasn’t Winona?!) and it then explodes, he scoffs, “Pulse pistol overload.” But when a pulse pistol has been set to overload in the past, hasn’t it made a noise? This one was silent.
I don’t know if there was a cut in the BBC version but there seemed to be a strange jump – Axikor blasted the Coreeshi who wanted him to take his mask off, then the next thing we saw was the Coreeshi who were holding John – they too were dead but there was no indication of how they’d been killed.
How did John work out the ‘grow’ code?
It would have been nice to have had an explanation of how the Coreeshi took over Moya so easily.
"they too were dead but there was no indication of how they’d been killed."
No jump. Remote detonation.
I thought that this episode was ok. Not Farscape's greatest, but enjoyable. I liked DS9's shrinking episode more
How did Crichton figure out how to get larger.
So, I guess we just have to assume that Chiana's vision came back. I think the last thing she said was that everything was fuzzy.
I love the sarcastic Scorpius. Definitely nice to see him rolling his eyes at the whole situation. His attitude is similar to Spike's when he first became a regular on the show. He has the "This is the team that foiled my every plan? I am deeply shamed" attitude.
I loved the expression Aeryn made when the Scarran called Crichton "ingeneous." She's like "reallly?"
TUE: In the beginning, Crichton says that he wants to talk to Captain James T. D'Argo. A funny line to you and me perhaps, but Noranti starts busting a gut like it's a funny joke. How the heck would she know?
Because Granny's a little off. We're talking about the lady who voluntarily floated in space for the entire episode. I think she laughed at the Jeopardy comment too.
TUE: So now we're off to Tormented Space. What makes the crew think that this will prevent the Scarrans and PKs from pursuing them? They say that it's a place that Scarrans and PKs avoid, but they've never had a reason to go there before. I think that it would just make their lives more difficult.
I got the impression that they had been there before but that it was too dangerous of a place to hang around. They want to avoid the dangers.
Mr. Mistie: I'm also glad that the issue of Scorpy's coolent rod shortage was addressed. My question is, how did Sokozu manufacture a supliment rod?
She's like a genius.
Callie: And why did John seem to believe that snorting Granny’s magic powder would shut it up?
I didn't think he was trying to slow his heart. I just thought he didn't want to be distracted thinking about Aeryn. Or maybe thinking about Aeryn does make his heart race.
The Coreeshi clearly watch Battlestar Galactica – it can be the only reason why they think that having their eyes flash as they speak is cool!
No, they watched Doctor Who. According to the fun facts extra on the DVD, the flashing eyes thing was inspired by the Daleks.
