Episode [2.06] – “Picture If You Will”

Who’s the ugly old man?” “His name is Maldis, he’s your basic evil vampire.” “He sucks the life force out of you.” “He just plain sucks.” When stopping by a trading ship, Chiana picks up a portrait that can apparently tell the future. But when misfortune befalls all whose image […]

Episode [2.05] – “The Way We Weren’t”

Today, on Farscape… “I’m…. I’m in a great deal of pain.” “You’ll get used to the pain.” “Get… used to it. It… will… go away… won’t it?” “I’m afraid not. An unfortunate but permanent side effect of the grafting process. I’m about to reawaken the Leviathan. All of her senses will reawaken instantly, along with […]

Episode [2.04] – “Crackers Don’t Matter”

Today, on Farscape… “Why don’t you make another speech, you self-important deficient little man! All you ever do is talk! Your father was the hero, you know. He did things. You’re just this test-monkey that screwed up your first experiment.” “That is good! That is fantastic, coming from a frigid flat-butted Peacekeeper skank.” In which […]

Episode [2.03] – “Taking the Stone”

Today, on Farscape… “Crichton, why I’m here, it’s not about you. In case you haven’t noticed, I’m not your kid, I’m not your sister, and I’m only your… your tralk, in your dreams. So please, please go away!” “I’m trying to help.” “I don’t want it, and I don’t need it. I like it here. […]

Episode [2.02] – “Vitas Mortis”

Today, on Farscape… “John, Nilaam isn’t evil.” “That doesn’t change anything.” “Moya, Pilot, Aeryn, they will never forgive her. They may never even forgive me. But you.

Season 1 Overview – A Look Back

It’s been an interesting ride in the Uncharted Territories thus far, and Season One has ended on a fairly hard-hitting cliffhanger. We’ll be starting Season Two next week, but for now, let’s take a look back at our thoughts on the season as a whole.

Episode [1.22] – “Family Ties”

Today, on Farscape… “One other thing, Dad. You remember the day I left? You told me that every man has a chance to be his own kind of hero. Well, I don’t think I’m ever coming home, so I won’t get that ticker tape parade. Doubt that I’m ever gonna have kids, so I won’t […]

Episode [1.21]: “Bone to Be Wild”

Today, on Farscape… “There is much cruelty in the universe.” “Yeah. We seem to have a treasure map to it.” Moya and her baby are hiding in an asteroid field while Crais and Scorpius give chase. While Aeryn hops on board the baby Leviathan to help calm it down and trust its mother, Crichton takes […]

Episode [1.20] – “The Hidden Memory”

While Moya is having a difficult labor up above, extracting Crichton below proves […]
