Salutations my whimsical readers and behold it is Day 4 of
Farscape Week. Journey with me to the echelon
of time and space as our outlaw heroes would do battle with their ever
increasing foes…okay this is starting to sound like an old timey radio show or
possibly a serial from the 1930’s.
Sorry about that. Okay without all the hype and nonsense this
time. This is Farscape Season 4.

Peace can only be maintained if there is spoiler…
Months on his own, Crichton has done nothing but obsess over
Aeryn and of course wormholes. With his
module’s fuel depleted and friends scattered all over the galaxies he has a lot
of time on his hands. Finally working out the necessary power requirements and
mathematics, John has cracked wormhole theory as he stays on board a leviathan
nearing her end of days. Before he can really celebrate a young woman Sikozu
(Raelee
Hill of Neighbours, Shark Bay, Water Rats, Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars and
Superman Returns) breaks into the leviathan claiming to be an expert on
the subject matter and informs scruffy Crichton he must leave but she is
considered expendable by her own patrons.
She has no choice but to throw in her lot with the crew of Moya in order
to avoid angering even more people.

| Damn Space hog!! Turn left!!!! |
After the bone head with the wormhole tech lab and Moya’s
crew escaping, Scorpius has been demoted by one Commandant Grayza (Rebecca
Riggs of Space: Above and Beyond, Alien Cargo, The Day of the Roses and
Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars) who after attempting to snare and
capture Crichton, she promises him a lofty position as director of Peacekeeper
Science division and apparently a place in her bed. Yowza, right??
After a few experimentations John has made it back to Earth
after 9-11 and of course the planet is a bit more paranoid but absolutely
fascinated by Crichton’s crewmates. Speculations,
talk show hosts and panels of experts are babbling non-stop about these amazing
life forms. John cannot help but feel
Earth is so much smaller than he remembered.
He almost feels like Earthlings are still in an infantile stage in the
grand scheme of things and journeys back with his friends to space to stop the
upcoming crisis.

Just a quick few story notions that came up this season. In the beginning, Crichton is viewed as this
weak, pathetic backwater planet dweller and he has earned the respect of his
crew under blood and sweat. This has
been a bumpy destination for all of the crew, each longing for the long journey’s
end and yet they know in their collective hearts that they may never see one
another again. Fighting with each
other, different species and trained warriors; our outlaw heroes have made this
bold transverse and have changed for the better and worst as with all great
quests. One thing is for certain and it
is no one of this story is truly who they were in the start of it all.
