So Farscape!

Your humble hosts will soon return for an adventure through the vast constellations of Star Trek's decades on TV, especially the lesser-loved stories!

But instead of bitching about why they’re bad, we’re going to find the joy in each of them, because everybody loves the great episodes, but it takes dedication, insight, and hard-working fools to love the clunkers too.

And by Jove, we are those fools!

Positive, inclusive and optimistic (though not uncritical!) we try to find the brilliance even in the least-loved episodes of our favorite TV shows.

"This week we're reading “Horizons” by Rockne S. O'Bannon, first published in 2003 in the Farscape Official Magazine!

Until (The) Peacekeeper War(s) miniseries this was the semi-canonical finale to Farscape. Much has since been rescinded, but some of it was beautifully prophetic!

Farscape 4·22: Bad Timing

When the Scarrans discover the wormhole to Earth, the crew of Moya must beat them there and find a way to stop them. Failure means certain doom for the human race, but could the cost for success be too great?

“Out of the frying pan into the fire,

Scarrans heading to earth, situation dire.

Closing the wormhole, the only solution,

Harvey's words shake John's resolution

Dominar Rygel saves the day,

Pilot puts himself in harms way

Wormhole crash, last words garbled,

Moya's crew lose their marbles..” (thanks Marky See!)

“Emergency trip in extended starburst,

With all this bad timing, we must be cursed.

Puncture the bubble.

What a cute couple.

Quick! Stop the scarrans from getting to Earth!” (thanks Ric From The Delta Quadrant.!)

“Voyeurism, cucking and bondage -- and that's just one scene! The race is on, he holds the hummingbird feeder, rules the galaxy! ” (thanks Mark Nixon!)

“Since John made the mistake of telling Jenn'ik about Bird of Paradise, he must now figure out a way to protect Earth. To do so, he must insist the help of the only being who can see the wormhole form. Will this member help? Will Earth be safe? And will Aeryn say yes or no? Find out in the action-packed series finale.” (thanks Billy Roberts!)

Farscape 4·21: La Bomba: We're So Screwed, Part 3

With their escape from Katratzi botched, the crew of Moya must enlist the help of their old enemy if they hope to survive the Scarrans' wrath.

“We gotta get outa here, before they realise.

Another lunatic with the wrong number of eyes.

Throw a tantrum,

Destroy the Crystherium,

Leaving a bomb in an elevator seems unwise.” (thanks Ric From the Delta Quadrant!)

“Guess what I did at work today, I wore a bomb in a field of flowers... It's not a double cross, It's a triple cross! It's plan E for Elevator, and it has nothing to do with wormholes, despite Harvey's claims. There are sore losers all round and the crew forget to vote” (thanks Marky See!)

“The gang partake in gardening practices that are even less environmentally friendly than laying astroturf. Grayza is asked if she could come to the manager's office for a quick chat and Braca is reunited with his brother, his captain, his king, his BESTIE.” (thanks mysterytour!)
