D'Argo... how come I'm not afraid?"D'argo: "Fear accompanies the possibility of death. Calm shepherds its certainty."John: "I love hangin' with you man."I can hear the slapping from here.  It's ok - I can't remember the names of the other eps I really liked right now save for 1 or 2.Farscape had so many great one-liners and the cool part was by the end they were spread around even though John got most of the really good ones by default.  The funny was almost always balanced with something equally as dire.  Those lines were delivered just as well in most cases.  Farscape was one of the only shows that could move me to gut bursting laugher and then 5 minutes later move me to the point of near-tears.  Some of the plots were flat-out gutwrenching.  The worst was probably Season 2's finale and the ep in S3 where Aeryn says her "final" goodbye to John."Humans.  Are. Superior!!"</blockquote>
