Episode 1.11: Till the Blood Runs Clear

Posted October 21st, 2009 at 08:09 AM by Mr. Infamous

This week on Farscape rewind we hit the halfway point in farscape's first season with "Till the blood Runs Clear" a fun, well executed episode that deals with how Dargo and Crichton relate to one another, as well as introducing us to another set of memorable guest stars.

The episode kicks off with Aeryn taking John for a driving lesson of sorts as he's just installed some "Moya components" onto his module. This however is apparently not a full "hetch drive"...

Episode 1.10: They've got a Secret

Posted October 21st, 2009 at 08:08 AM by Mr. Infamous

Following on the heels of last week's excellent "DNA Mad Scientist" this weeks' episode is "they've got a secret" an episode that sets up what will go on to be a multi episode arc for the rest of season 1, and even beyond depending on how you look at it.

The episode starts off with the crew sweeping the ship for any leftover peacekeeper car alarms or other bugs that might still be present. I can't help but think it's a little late in the game to be revisting this...

Episode 1.09: DNA Mad Scientist

Posted October 21st, 2009 at 08:07 AM by Mr. Infamous

This week we're looking at DNA mad scientist, an episode that plugs back into the whole "find our way home" arc for the various characters and shows us what might just be our first really obvious taste of character continuity between episodes.

DNA mad scientist starts off with our usual supects down on some sort of asteroid base getting fluid sucked out of their eyeballs, just in case you forgot what show it was you'd tuned in to. The guy doing the sucking here is Namtar,...

Episode 1.08: That Old Black Magic

Posted October 21st, 2009 at 08:05 AM by Mr. Infamous

I started off last weeks review by mentioning that PK tech girl was the first example of a Farscape episode that I personally liked independant of it just being a plain good episode, and well this week's episode is similarly noteworthy, not because I also like it, but because I absolutely hate it.

This week's episode is "that old black magic" an episode about an evil wizard who for some reason needs to pit Crichton and Crais against one another in some sort of bullshit contest...

Episode 1.07: PK Tech Girl

Posted October 21st, 2009 at 08:04 AM by Mr. Infamous

This week's episode is PK tech girl, an episode made unique from those we've watched so far by being the first episode I really like in a personal preferenace sort of way. PK tech girl might not use the various characters quite as well as Throne for a Loss did, beign more John and Aeryn centric, and sure this is also the first real episode that could be called "shippy", but what it can't be called is boring.

The episode opens with the Moya crew happening upon an old PK command...
