John Crichton
First Post
I should be flogged for not posting about this very entertaining ep sooner....
First off, let me say that with only 6 episodes remaining I can't see any way that the producers can put a lid on this thing without another season. There are WAY too many things to wrap up. It's really frustrating.
Anywho, on to the ep:
The splitting of the crew was a interesting concept. The previous ep was about the guys at a "mental-arts training camp" set up by Scorpy to toughen up John for the coming Scarran onslaught. This week shows us the women and their search for something to hide Moya from sensors and find events that will change the course of the Peacekeeper/Scarran relationship forever.
I loved the "teamwork" of the females. I didn't thing they'd jive so well together but they did. But you know when you get a bunch of PK's and Scarrans together and that's never good. Grayza has set up a meeting with some Scarrans to negotiate terms. They throw around insults and Grayza offers Luxan space to the Scarrans as a bargaining chip. Needless to say, things do not go well, Aeryn & Sizoku end up having to rescue Grayza to prevent war. Chiana and Noranti have to get genetic disguises to avoid capture and everything, in traditional Farscape fashion goes straight to frell.
I liked all of it. Very entertaining. The politics of the war on the horizon, the Scarran viewpoint and the crew of Moya's involvement were all well done. This is the start-up of what the later part of the show has been leading up to. Things are coming to a head between all these factions and I expect the action to kick things up a notch. And in all of this, Aeryn is replaced by a robotic doppelganger and the imposter subsequently killed by John. Now he has to find her. Great stuff.
On a closing note, I am preparing to be very annoyed by the season/series-ending cliffhanger. *sigh*
Thoughts?
