Okay, for Wen, here goes (straight from the Sci-fi site... which I discovered has changed the Farscape Graphic to "Farscape Wars" and. . .Oooh! Pretty!

Upcoming Episode Commentary:



...looks like you're in for a bit of dry spell.

8/6 Lava's A Many Splendored Thing Season 4/Ep 4 --
Rating: eh.
Basic Monster of the Week. No real connection to the overall arc. Doesn't really stick out in my memory.

8/6 Promises Season 4/Ep 5
Aeryn FINALLY returns! (Yeah, she's only a dream presence in the first five eps of Season 4 which so totally sucks.) Really, real AWOL Aeryn finally returns to the ship... with the previously presumed dead Scorpious in tow. (And still 100% unwilling to reveal the info that Crichton learned in the Season 3 finale)

8/6 John Quioxte Season 4/Ep 6
A "the writers are on DRUGS!" episode. Very wacked out. Things are tense on Moya so Chiana is busy playing a virtual reality game. Crichton joins her and they're sucked into the game. Fun if you're into video games as it is a video game brought to live action in most of the ep. . .but very, very strange (Very strange. . .like Aeryn is a blonde Southern belle lisping princess, Crais is "the Beast" (as in "Beauty And") And D'Argo is in a wacked out scenario I won't even try to explain. It also features the return of familiar faces Zaahn and Stark.

8/6 I Shrink, Therefore I Am Season 4/Ep 7
"Honey, I shrank the Moya crew!" Funny if you're a sci-fi nut who has seen the "let's shrink people" scenario before and like to see it tweeked. But it's another in a series of strange Farscape eps.

8/6 A Perfect Murder Season 4/Ep 8
Remember BtVS "Sleeper?" Spike isn't the only one ever turned into a murderer against his will.

8/6 Coup by Clam Season 4/Ep9
Utterly disgusting episode that for some totally insane reason I really like. I can't explain it. It's GROSS. But for reasons I don't understand, I LIKE it.

8/6 Unrealized Reality Season 4/Ep 10
Finally! Season 4's real story arc kicks in. Being the science loving geek that I am, I enjoyed this one. In parts of it, it takes a trip through the past and changes events that we saw happen. It also plants some evidence of stuff that will come into play at the end of the season. Bonus: the ep ends in an incredibly COOL cliffhanger (as it was originally shown, it was the summer cliffhanger preceding a rerun hell before the show came back for the winter season).

8/8 Through A Looking Glass Season 1/Ep 17
Perhaps this one is more interesting in retrospect than it really is on its own. It's the nascent pondering of themes that will come into greater play throughout the series (though it's not really intended as part of the story arc. It's just the first time you see some of the concepts that they later develop in other stories).. Not bad. Not great. I wanna be Aeryn when I grow up.

8/12 MeltdownSeason 3/Ep 12
Takes place during the time period when Crichton/Aeryn are really, REALLY together romantically. . .and can't keep their hands off each other (hee!) It has some things that will come into play during mid-Season 3. But the most fun part of the ep are Crichton and Aeryn completely unable to keep their hands off each other or to stop thinking about sex.

8/12 Scratch and Sniff Season 3/Ep 13
ROFL! Another ep to prove that the writers of this show are just so, so, SO twisted. D'Argo and Crichton are on the planet HoMo... and... er... I can't spoil the incredibly hilarious scene where the two of them wake up after a bender. (heh!) Must make clear... that the Crichon in this ep is deliberately not in sync with the Crichton in the previous (and subsequent) Aeryn eps. This takes place during the time period when there are two entirely separate Crichtons living entirely different lives. (reference the ep: "Green Eyed Monster" for an explanation)

8/12 Revenging Angel Season 3/Ep 16
(as you can see by the ep number, Sci-Fi just skipped two angstalicious episodes and went right to the next comedic one. Another "What are the writers SMOKING?!" ep... it's the ever notorious "Farscape Looneytoons!" Episode. (Seriously, parts of it are Crichton, D'Argo, and Scorpious as LooneyToons... and Aeryn as Jessica Rabbit. . . it makes sense if you watch it. But clearly, the writers were going experimental in this one.)

8/15 Bone to be Wild Season 1/Ep 21
Eh. Not one of my favorites. Most significant because it's Ben Browder's real life wife playing the MOTW in this one.

8/19 Infinite Possibilities: Daedalus Demands Season 3/Ep 14
8/19 Infinite Possibilities: Icarus Abides Season 3/Ep 15
You. Must. See. These. Episodes.
Sniffle. Sniffle. Guh.

8/19 The Choice Season 3/Episode 17
(Can also be known as "this is the reason Sarah Michelle Gellar SUCKS!) Claudia Black is truly AWESOME in this episode. Grief. Angst. Repression. And emotional shut down... and we see and understand it all and (unlike SMG) CB never loses the audience. Best Claudia Black episode of the entire series IMO.

8/22 Family Ties Season 1/Ep 22
Season 1's Finale. Pretty good. Nice Crichton/Crais scene.

8/26 I Yesch, You Yensch Season 3/Ep 19
I like this one. I tend to think it's underrated, but that's probably just a matter of taste. It's a bit "Dog Day Afternoon"

8/26 Into the Lion's Den: Lambs to the Slaughter" Season 3/Ep 20 Build up to the awesome season 3 finale.

8/26 Into the Lion's Den: Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" Season 3/Ep 21
I tend to call this one "when winning the battle feels like losing the war" The penultimate episode of Season 3 (the subsequent ep, the Season 3 finale is Leslie's favorite ep of the series). WARNING: Major Character Death. And in this one I mean, really, really, REALLY dead. This character doesn't come back.


And that's as far as they list on the Sci-Fi site.
