Farscape Friday Podcast

John and Aeryn get trapped in a one horse town with bounty hunters out for the crew's blood. In Farscape's version of a western, D'argo and John finally work out some of their issues and the best side character is introduced.

After an explosion caused by D'argo's removal of PK tech, Moya begins cutting the crew off from resources they need to survive. While the crew is trying to solve the situation, D'argo is haunted by his past. Taz and Kay discuss how this is one of Farscape's quieter episodes, but how it delivers some powerful punches.

Farscape does moral relativism. With the chance of going home, Zhaan, D'argo and Rygel go down a Heart of Darkness path to decide who will go home first. Meanwhile, Aeryn and John deal with an evil scientist who uses DNA to make himself better. Kay and Taz discuss the darkest episode of the first season.

After D'argo leaves the ship in the middle of a hyper-rage, the crew goes searching and finds him living a blissed out life as a farmer. Kay and Taz discuss Aeryn going out of her comfort zone as a scientist, D'argo and Zhan as possible lovers and the really sad rebellion on this PK controlled planet.

Space cockroaches turn Moya into a sauna and the crew must figure out how to get rid of them before the heat permanently injures Aeryn or Moya.
