rc: Crais
Scientist John Crichton is pulled through a wormhole while testing a space module of his own design for IASA. On the other side of the wormhole: the Delvian Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan, Luxan warrior Ka D'Argo, and deposed Hynerian Dominar Rygel XVI have just succeeded in liberating themselves -- and Moya, their Leviathan biomechanoid prison transport ship, helmed by Pilot -- from the control of the Peacekeepers, a merciless race of mercenaries. Crichton finds himself involuntarily added to the crew roster, along with Peacekeeper Officer Aeryn Sun, who's (equally involuntarily) been deemed "irreversibly contaminated" by her former commanding officer, Captain Bialar Crais. Crais, whose brother was killed accidently during Crichton's unscheduled arrival via the wormhole, is now determined not only to recapture Moya and her prisoner crew, but to exact vengeance on Crichton, as well.
b: 19 Mar 99 pc: 101 w: Rockne S. O'Bannon d: Andrew ProwseThe crew does their best to dodge a Peacekeeper Marauder, while playing unwitting incubator to a galactic insectoid species. Ever open-minded, our heroes are willing to host the colony's queen while she spawns. There are just two little problems: the queen sets Moya's thermostat to a level that may well destroy Aeryn, and that Marauder isn't leaving the area anytime soon.
b: 26 Mar 99 pc: 103 w: Ro Hume d: Brian HensonD'Argo insists that the crew rescue a pair of Ilanic scientists (whose ship has been destroyed under mysterious circumstances), and then has an intense reaction to the female half of the team. Meanwhile, Crichton is acting more unhinged than usual (although that may be due to the fact that something in the Ilanics' shuttle seems to have disconnected him from the space-time continuum). Now John's living -- and reliving -- horrific versions of the future, over..and over..and over...
b: 2 Apr 99 pc: 105 w: Babs Greyhosky d: Rowan WoodsThe crew's plan to earn a little credit goes awry when Rygel is kidnapped for ransom. Now they need to get him back, not because they particularly want him, but because he's taken a vital component that Moya needs in order to maintain orbit. Complicating matters, the local thugs are pharmaceutically enhanced -- and our crew isn't exactly immune to the drug's effects.
b: 9 Apr 99 pc: 104 w: Richard Manning d: Pino AmentaMoya comes across the remains of the Zelbinion, the most famous of all Peacekeeper ships. Exploring the wreckage for clues to its past (and any surviving scraps of navigational data), the crew discovers Gilina, a PK technician recently left onboard by Capt. Crais. Their salvage efforts are further complicated by Rygel's flashbacks to his captivity and torture aboard the Zelbinion by Capt. Durka, and the arrival of a Sheyang scavenger vessel whose crew is bent on claiming the wreckage for themselves.
b: 16 Apr 99 pc: 107 w: Nan Hagan d: Tony TilseWhen D'Argo decides to get away from it all, he winds up in a worker's paradise, and the crew must adjust to the possibility of saying goodbye to one of their number. But first, they want to know where all that tannot root is going...and why in D'Argo's new home, tomorrow is a Rest Day, but tomorrow never comes.
b: 23 Apr 99 pc: 106 w: David Wilks d: Rowan WoodsThe crew discovers, the hard way, that the Peacekeepers have left a locator beacon on board Moya. To get rid of it, they must make planetfall on an uncharted world, locate a specific substance to use as anesthesia, and perform surgery on their Leviathan -- all while avoiding contact with the local population, which has never before encountered extraplanetary life.
b: 7 May 99 pc: 102 w: Sally Lapiduss d: Pino Amentarc: Crais
During a supply stop on a commerce planet, Crichton falls victim to Maldis, a psychic vampire. While Crichton's forced into a gladiatorial grudge match with Crais on a metaphysical plane, the rest of the crew struggles to rescue him, and Zhaan reluctantly gets in touch with her dark side to defeat Maldis.
b: 11 Jun 99 pc: 108 w: Richard Manning d: Brendan MaherThe crew visits a scientist who claims he can provide them with maps back to their homeworlds, based on their genetic profiles. In payment, he demands one of Pilot's arms. But, when Aeryn asks him to provide her with directions to a Sebacean colony, she winds up being used as a test subject herself, and only John steps forward to defend her.
b: 18 Jun 99 pc: 109 w: Tom Blomquist d: Andrew ProwseWhen the crew does a sweep of Moya's systems to remove any remaining PK devices, D'Argo hits paydirt. But, when he smashes the device, he's accidently spaced in the resulting explosion, and even though Aeryn picks him up in her Prowler, his mind still seems a bit spaceburned. Meanwhile, Moya's systems are malfunctioning left and right, and the DRDs are running amok. The crew struggles to diagnose their Leviathan...and figure out why D'Argo thinks John is a murderer.
b: 25 Jun 99 pc: 110 w: Sally Lapiduss d: Ian Watsonrc: Crais
John and Aeryn create a proto-wormhole using the Farscape 1 module, which is damaged by the event. They set down on the local planet for repairs, only to discover an announcement beacon left by Capt. Crais advertising a bounty for the capture of Zhaan, D'Argo, and Rygel. While the crew plays cat and mouse with a team of bounty hunters, Zhaan enjoys the side-effects of solar flares, and John and D'Argo forge a new alliance.
b: 9 Jul 99 pc: 111 w: Doug Heyes, Jr. d: Tony TilseWhen Aeryn takes John out in a transport pod for a little flying lesson, they wind up stuck in the Flax, an energy net used by pirates. While they try to keep their pod functioning long enough for a rescue team to reach them, Zhaan and Rygel cope with pirates, and D'Argo must choose between saving his friends and finding a way home.
b: 16 Jul 99 pc: 113 w: Justin Monjo d: Peter AndrikidisAnswering what they believe to be a distress call from another pregnant Leviathan, the crew discovers instead a Delvian colony. But, Zhaan's communion with the priests results in madness -- for herself and others -- and John risks his mind in the Delvian ritual of Unity to discover why.
b: 23 Jul 99 pc: 112 w: David Kemper s: David Kemper & Ro Hume d: Andrew ProwseJohn goes looking for a little breathing room in Farscape 1, and is inadvertantly left behind when Moya does an unexpected starburst. While the crew backtracks in search of him, he finds himself getting attached to an Earth-like planet and it's inhabitants. But, the planet's energy vortex may strand not only John, but D'Argo and Rygel as well -- if they aren't executed, first.
b: 30 Jul 99 pc: 114 w: Doug Heyes, Jr. d: Ian Watsonrc: Chiana
Moya damages another ship while exiting starburst; when Pilot brings them onboard to effect repairs, Rygel is horrifed to discover that one of the passengers is Capt. Durka. Also aboard: Salis, a Nebari authority, and his young female prisoner, Chiana. With Salis' murder, Durka reverts to his former personality -- and crew find themselves fighting for control of Moya.
b: 13 Aug 99 pc: 115 w: Grant McAloon d: Tony Tilserc: Chiana
John can't pass up the chance to go home when a wormhole opens up near Moya...but he's less than pleased with the reception he gets back in Australia. And, when Aeryn, D'Argo, and Rygel get pulled in after him with disastrous effects, he starts to question his own loyalties to Earth.
b: 20 Aug 99 pc: 116 w: Justin Monjo d: Rowan Woodsrc: Chiana
A very pregnant Moya tries to starburst in order to reassure her restless crew, but her defensive move backfires, stranding them ...somewhere ...inbetween. Crew members start disappearing into thin air, and Crichton finds himself playing interdimensional messenger in order to help Moya pull herself back together.
b: 10 Sep 99 pc: 117 w: David Kemper d: Ian Watsonrc: Chiana
The crew pretends Crichton is a PK Captain in order to keep a Marauder crew from commandeering Moya. But the Marauder's cargo is far more dangerous than the PKs themselves: an intelligent virus that moves from host to host, and will kill to protect itself.
b: 17 Sep 99 pc: 118 w: Stephen Rae s: Doug Heyes, Jr. d: Tony Tilserc: Crais, Chiana, Scorpius
Aeryn's muscles have healed from her recent stab wound, but her paraphoral nerve hasn't...and won't, without a tissue graft. To save her life, Crichton again dons his Peacekeeper disguise and attempts to infiltrate a PK Gammak base, with Chiana in tow. Along the way, an old friend appears, but so does a new enemy, with a not-so-Comfy Chair...and John finds getting out of the base a lot harder than getting in.
b: 7 Jan 00 pc: 119 w: Richard Manning d: Rowan Woodsrc: Crais, Chiana, Scorpius
A still-recovering Aeryn heads down to the Gammak base with D'Argo and Zhaan, to rescue John from being stuck between a rock and a hard place: if Crichton survives the invasion of his mind by Scorpius, Crais is standing by to lay claim to what's left of him. Meanwhile, Chiana and Rygel witness the birth of Moya's baby.
b: 14 Jan 00 pc: 120 w: Justin Monjo d: Ian Watsonrc: Crais, Scorpius, Braca
Moya and company are trying to lay low in an asteroid field when they pick up a distress call; when they take a transport pod down to investigate the highly vegetated asteroid, they discover two very different beings -- with very different views of the situation. Meanwhile, Aeryn makes friends with Moya's offspring, and finds him to be more than she expected.
b: 21 Jan 00 pc: 121 w: David Kemper & Rockne S. O'Bannon d: Andrew Prowserc: Crais, Scorpius, Braca
Alliances shift on several fronts as Rygel attempts to sell out his crewmates, and Crais falls from favor. Still trapped in the asteroid field, Moya's crew develops a risky plan to escape Peacekeeper clutches, and inflict a little damage on their foes at the same time. Naturally, events don't exactly go according to plan...but what's the end of the season without a little cliffhanger?

rc: Crais, Scorpius, Braca
Temporary alliances enable the crew to reunite, only to find them back where they started, hiding in the asteroids with a Peacekeeper task force on their trail. Talyn, however, has some plans of his own: he wants a captain, and isn't going to take "no" for an answer.
b: 17 Mar 00 pc: 202 w: Richard Manning d: Andrew ProwseWhen D'Argo agrees to assist a dying Luxan holy woman with a ritual of passing, she instead draws on his strength to regenerate herself as a young woman. But it soon become apparent that she drew on more than just D'Argo's energy, when Moya is transformed into a prematurely geriatric Leviathan, trapping Chiana in her solidified amnexus fluids.
b: 24 Mar 00 pc: 203 w: Grant McAloon d: Tony TilseChiana learns of the death of her brother. Seeking solace from her grief, she absconds with Aeryn's Prowler, and lands on a Cemetery Planet, where she's accepted into a community of teenagers and young adults who live underground. While John and Aeryn try to help her work through her pain, Rygel learns a hard lesson about tomb-robbing.
b: 31 Mar 00 pc: 204 w: Justin Monjo d: Rowan Woodsrc: Scorpius
The crew picks up a scientist who claims he can outfit Moya with a cloaking shield, if they'll take him back to his homeworld. But on the journey, the sanity of the entire crew goes to pieces...and so do a fair number of crackers.
b: 7 Apr 00 pc: 205 w: Justin Monjo d: Ian Watsonrc: Crais
Chiana discovers an old PK recording showing that Aeryn was one of the PKs who murdered Moya's original Pilot. With John's help, Aeryn faces the memory of her past, but the rest of the crew -- and Pilot -- are less forgiving.
b: 14 Apr 00 pc: 207 w: Naren Shankar d: Tony TilseChiana picks up a portrait that seems to predict the future. Soon, crewmembers appear to be dying under bizarre circumstances - except that they're not dead, they're prisoners of the psychic vampire Maldis. Zhaan must forge a plan to defeat him again, but her overwhelming fear may defeat her first.
b: 21 Apr 00 pc: 206 w: Peter Neale d: Andrew ProwseWhen the crew runs short of food, they visit an old haunt of Chiana's, a mining colony on a huge space carcass. Naturally, there are complications: Moya is debilitatingly allergic to Zhaan - who herself will die if they can't find her some meat, and fast - and Chiana's history with the colony may undermine the whole effort.
b: 16 Jun 00 pc: 208 w: Gabrielle Stanton & Harry Werksman Jr. d: Rowan WoodsZhaan finally fills John in on what happened while the crew was separated, after the destruction of the Gammak base. While looking for Aeryn, John, and D'Argo, Moya's remaining crew found themselves embroiled in legal intrigue on the planet Litigara. What started as a simple jaywalking charge soon escalated into murder -- but Zhaan's inner demons were an even bigger problem. Could Rygel and Chiana manage to save her without resorting to subterfuge? (Does Scorpy wear lederhosen?)
b: 23 Jun 00 pc: 201 w: Steven Rae d: Ian Watsonrc: Crais
Okay, so body-swapping has been done before on television...but trust us, it has never been done like this. An attack by a Halosian ship knocks everyone one body to the left, and the crew has to defend Moya while discovering just what it's like to walk in one another's shoes...and pants.
b: 7 Jul 00 pc: 209 w: Michael Cassutt d: Ian WatsonAn alien attempt to collect a sample Human results in three versions of John Crichton -- one of whom must be sacrificed to keep the rest of the crew alive.
b: 14 Jul 00 pc: 212 w: Gabrielle Stanton & Harry Werksman, Jr. d: Catherine Millarrc: Scorpius
Palace intrigue entangles Crichton in a royal wedding -- as the unwilling groom. But with Scorpius breathing down his neck, he really just may be better wed than dead.
b: 21 Jul 00 pc: 210 w: David Kemper d: Andrew Prowse & Tony Tilserc: Scorpius, Braca
As much as Crichton doesn't want to go to the altar, someone else is even more determined to prevent his marriage. Assassination attempts, a little stroll through vacuum, and conflicting hearts also conspire to put a damper on the festivities. (Being transformed into a statue for 80 cycles doesn't help much, either.)
b: 28 Jul 00 pc: 221 w: David Kemper d: Andrew Prowse & Tony Tilserc: Scorpius
Crichton's been acting a little nuts lately, but now he's really gone and lost his head. Or rather, someone has removed it from his statue. Aeryn is a tad the worse for wear, herself, but an arduous trek across the barren wastelands provides her with some time to examine her choices. Meanwhile, Zhaan faces one of Moya's Builders, to beg for the Leviathan's life.
b: 4 Aug 00 pc: 211 w: David Kemper d: Andrew Prowse & Tony Tilserc: Scorpius
When a commerce planet warns the crew that the goods they just brought onboard might have included a deadly parasite, Chiana buys a Vorc, a hunter that she is assured will quickly dispose of the infestation. The crew's problems quickly mount, however, and it seems that the Vorc is not doing any good -- in fact, the Vorc turns into the only deadly creature that they can find on board. Now, with a poisoned D'Argo fighting for his life, the crew has to work fast to find, and stop, the parasite.
b: 11 Aug 00 pc: 213 w: Naren Shankar d: Tony Tilserc: Scorpius, Crais
Crichton awakens to find that his adventures on Moya were all a dream...or so his friends and colleagues seem to want him to believe. John's been "home" before, though, and he's determined that this time, he won't get fooled again -- especially since his crewmates keep turning up on Earth under different names.
b: 18 Aug 00 pc: 214 w: Richard Manning d: Rowan Woodsrc: Scorpius
Stark returns to Moya in a flash of exposition -- with some important news for one of the crew. But then Aeryn's reconnaissance mission in an unusual stellar mist goes awry, leaving her to face a life without her crewmates. And, when John is marooned as well (along with his personal visions of Scorpius), the future begins to look dim for our Heroes. But maybe it's just the onset of cataracts...
b: 25 Aug 00 pc: 215 w: Justin Monjo d: Ian Watsonrc: Crais
Crais returns to ask the crew's help in modifying Talyn's weaponry -- which unexpectedly destroys a Plokavian vessel under mysterious circumstances. Facing death by dispersion if they don't give up the crewmate responsible for firing the fatal shot, our heroes reveal completely different perspectives of the event during the ensuing Plokavian interrogation.
b: 8 Sep 00 pc: 216 w: Gabrielle Stanton & Harry Werksman, Jr. d: Tony Tilserc: Crais
Chiana's past catches up to her at last, but not for the reasons Moya's crew was led to expect -- or prepared to defend against. And, whatever the Nebari are really after, they're willing to mindcleanse the entire crew to achieve it.
b: 15 Sep 00 pc: 217 w: Lily Taylor d: Rowan Woodsrc: Scorpius, Stark, Braca
Once again, Stark returns in a flash of exposition, but this time, he has a plan: to buy Jothee back from the slavers, he wants the crew to rob a bank. Naturally, the bank's manager has other ideas, and so does her most demanding customer -- Scorpius.
b: 5 Jan 01 pc: 218 w: Grant McAloon d: Andrew Prowserc: Scorpius, Stark, Braca
Scorpius beats the crew to the slave auction; now, to recover Jothee, they're going to have to retrace their steps across the entire Uncharted Territories. Meanwhile, their pilfered loot from the Depository has a devastating effect on Moya, and the cure may kill her.
b: 12 Jan 01 pc: 219 w: Naren Shankar d: Catherine Millarrc: Scorpius, Crais, Stark, Braca
The crew goes ahead with their plans for a rescue -- only now they're after Crichton instead of Jothee, and they get a little extra help from an unexpected source. Meanwhile, John proves to be a fascinating subject not just for Scorpius, but for Natira as well.
b: 19 Jan 01 pc: 220 w: Justin Monjo d: Tony Tilserc: Scorpius, Crais, Stark, Braca
The crew brings Moya to a medical facility, hoping to cure her burns, and get the neural clone removed from John's brain. But the chip's control is now almost complete, and John escapes to signal their location to Scorpius, with tragic results.

rc: Braca
Unable to face a future without Aeryn, having lost his ability to speak, and still a target of both Scorpius and the neural clone, John is a helpless bystander as his crewmates search for some means of healing his body and soul. Meanwhile, Grunchlk's shady dealings come back to haunt him, and Zhaan undertakes a dangerous effort on Aeryn's behalf.
b: 16 Mar 01 pc: 301 w: Richard Manning d: Ian WatsonDuring a trading stop at a commerce station, the crew discovers that they're getting a reputation in the Uncharted Territories. Before they can enjoy it, however, the station takes a hit from a strange storm, leaving everyone up to their eyeballs in rescue efforts, while hunting a religious zealot. Jothee and Chiana's betrayal is exposed, driving D'Argo to the breaking point.
b: 23 Mar 01 pc: 302 w: Justin Monjo d: Andrew Prowserc: Jool
Armed with maps Stark found on the commerce station, Moya heads for a planet that might heal Zhaan. But her journey is interrupted by a collision with another ship, which suddenly exits a wormhole and rematerializes partially inside the Leviathan. As the two crews struggle to free their vessels from one another, Rygel accidentally revives the last Interon from cryostasis, and a mysterious space serpent keeps everyone's nerves on edge. But the separation of the two ships may result in Moya and Pilot's deaths.
b: 30 Mar 01 pc: 303 w: David Kemper d: Tony Tilserc: Jool
When the crew discovers just how badly John's trust in the aliens was misplaced, they resume the fight to save their Leviathan; now it will take all of them, even Jool and her lungpower, to pull the fat out of the fire. As their efforts reach the final critical moments, Zhaan meets a difficult challenge with grace, but her choice takes a terrible toll on John's faith in himself.
b: 6 Apr 01 pc: 304 w: David Kemper d: Tony Tilserc: Jool
Stark has a bad reaction to a tear in time, turning a simple tourist stop into an up-close-and-personal encounter with a planet's bloody past. In an Uncharted Territories version of the Alamo, the crew discovers that legendary history is a very tenuous thing, less mythic than it appears -- and that Peacekeepers weren't always so corrupt.
b: 13 Apr 01 pc: 305 w: Steve Worland d: Peter Andrikidisrc: Jool
After Jool damages the transport pod, she, John, D'Argo and Chiana are forced to land on a damaged Leviathan. As they scrounge the ailing ship for parts, they discover it's not so abandoned as it initially appeared. Meanwhile, an unexpected starburst by Moya brings Aeryn and the remaining crew to a horribly wounded Talyn and Crais.
b: 20 Apr 01 pc: 306 w: Matt Ford d: Ian Watsonrc: Jool
The crew finds that their reputation isn't helping, as they negotiate for medical supplies amidst local political intrigue. But John's dual identity (difficult as it may be for him to endure) proves useful, as they race to to heal Talyn and Crais before a face out of Aeryn's past can catch up to them.
b: 15 Jun 01 pc: 307 w: Clayvon C. Harris d: Ian BarryWhile Rygel and Stark are away on a recon mission, Talyn is swallowed by a live budong. Trapped in its gullet, the remaining crew's ability to work as a team is tested by jealousy from an unlikely source. But even more unlikely is the plan to get them back out of the creature -- which may not be surprising, since it was suggested by Stark...
b: 22 Jun 01 pc: 308 w: Ben Browder d: Tony Tilserc: Jool, Braca
Moya's crew, already testy after their separation from Talyn and ten days of chasing the ghost of a wormhole for John, find themselves further shaken (literally) by an encounter with energy parasites. Fortunately, that doesn't keep the DRDs from scooting to Moya's defense. Meanwhile, Scorpius is experiencing a few wormhole nightmares of his own.
b: 29 Jun 01 pc: 309 w: Justin Monjo d: Catherine MillarWhat Talyn needs most is rest and time to heal...but it doesn't look as though he's going to get it, as the Retrieval Squad closes in. While Crichton and Crais test their jungle survival skills, Aeryn's reunion with her mother leads to some dire consequences, not only for Talyn, but for Rygel as well.
b: 6 Jul 01 pc: 310 w: Rockne S. O'Bannon d: Peter Andrikidisrc: Jool, Braca
Stymied by an encypted section on the neural chip, Scorpius takes a neural clone of John on a little trip down memory lane, hoping to persuade him to assist in unlocking it. Meanwhile, a surprising bargain is offered to Moya and her increasingly cranky crew.
b: 13 Jul 01 pc: 311 w: Richard Manning d: Ian WatsonAeryn's rejection of a neural implant doesn't stop Talyn from selecting an alternate candidate, when a siren song lures him too close to a star. Torn between saving a lost soul, and saving their ship, members of the crew find their efforts further complicated by the odd mist seeping from Talyn's systems -- and its rather unusal effects.
b: 14 Jul 01 pc: 312 w: Matt Ford d: Ian Barryrc: Jool
Chiana and Jool need shore leave, and Pilot needs a break from John and D'Argo's bickering. A stopover on the local pleasure planet seems like just the ticket...if only the crew can stay out of trouble long enough to enjoy it.
b: 20 Jul 01 pc: 313 w: Lily Taylor d: Tony TilseJust as things seem to be calming down for Talyn's crew, the Ancients come calling, and they don't bring good news: the Farscape 1 module was seen traversing a wormhole, at a time when John knew it was safely aboard Moya. A quick return to Furlow's workshop turns up a duplicate built from scratch, but that's only the beginning of the problem; while two species prepare to assault the compound, John makes an assault of his own...against Harvey.
b: 27 Jul 01 pc: 314 w: Carleton Eastlake d: Peter AndrikidisWith Charrids outside, Harvey inside, and the Scarrans' dreadnaught on the way, time is growing short. And while the planetside half of the crew faces a deadly betrayal, those aboard Talyn have troubles of their own: without functioning sensors, there's just no way to keep the riffraff out...
b: 3 Aug 01 pc: 315 w: Carleton Eastlake d: Ian Watsonrc: Jool
John and D'Argo's strained friendship hits the breaking point...on John's skull. While the rest of Moya's crew frantically tries to stop D'Argo's Luxan ship from exploding in the transport hangar, a comatose John finds himself going looney tunes to work out problems of his own.
b: 10 Aug 01 pc: 316 w: David Kemper d: Andrew ProwseIn the wake of John's death, Aeryn turns to a planet of mystics for solace, but she finds more than she bargained for thanks to Crais' past duplicity. She's not alone; it's a time for brutal honesty for all of Talyn's crew -- Scarrans excepted.
b: 17 Aug 01 pc: 317 w: Justin Monjo d: Rowan Woodsrc: Jool
The reunion of Moya and Talyn's crews isn't the joyous occasion John expected, but there isn't much time to dwell on it, thanks to a shuttle of escaped prisoners fleeing the Peacekeepers -- one of whom is a traitor.
b: 24 Aug 01 pc: 318 w: Rockne S. O'Bannon d: Tony Tilserc: Jool, Braca
Despite their lack of enthusiasm when John first broached the plan, Moya's crew has made it a team effort to stop the Peacekeepers' wormhole research. While Rygel and D'Argo barter an uneasy truce with Scorpius to get John et al safely aboard the Command Carrier, the rest of the gang waits tensely for news -- until Talyn cracks under the strain.
b: 5 Apr 02 pc: 319 w: Matt Ford d: Peter Andrikidisrc: Jool, Braca, Grayza
The crew ventures aboard the Command Carrier, where John has pledged to share his wormhole knowledge with Scorpius. While Aeryn and Crais find their old crewmates less than pleased with their return, more disturbing is the Peacekeeper crew's growing animosity for their current commander...animosity which a visitor from High Command is only too happy to employ for her own purposes.
b: 12 Apr 02 pc: 320 w: Richard Manning d: Ian Watsonrc: Jool, Braca
Scorpius, growing more desperate by the minute, hopes to force John's hand by threatening Earth. Unable to lead the Peacekeeper scientists' research astray, John rallies the crew to help him destroy the Carrier itself -- and discovers that Crais' allegiances are not at all what he expected.
b: 19 Apr 02 pc: 321 w: Rockne S. O'Bannon d: Rowan Woodsrc: Jool, Jack Crichton, The Old Woman
With the battle (for now) won, the crewmates prepare to go their separate ways. But while the rest of Moya's complement seems to have specific destinations in mind, John struggles to reconcile his love for Aeryn with his love for Earth. The presence of a strange old woman on Moya isn't helping matters, either. And before any of them can leave, they need to lay Talyn to rest...if another Leviathan, mad with grief, doesn't kill them first.

"My name is John Crichton. An astronaut. Three years ago, I got shot through a wormhole. I'm in a distant part of the universe, aboard this living ship of escaped prisoners...my friends. I've made enemies...powerful, dangerous. Now all I want is to find a way home, to warn Earth. Look upward -- and share -- the wonders I've seen."

rc: Sikozu
Mad scientists, pirates, critters, secret formulas, shootouts, musical DRDs, mystic powers, graffiti, hitchhikers with weird hair, and of course lots of gooey stuff (although not necessarily the romantic kind): it's just another typical day in the Uncharted Territories for our favorite stranded human. Or it would be, if he had any idea where Moya and gang were, and a way to get there...
b: 7 Jun 02 pc: 401 w: David Kemper d: Andrew Prowserc: Jool, Sikozu, Noranti, Grayza, Braca
As Jool and D'Argo are reunited with the remains of Moya's crew, Jool's archeology background is uncovered once more. Although it's unlikely she'll wind up back in Grunchlk's freezer this time, the stakes at this dig are just as high, enough so that The Old Woman may sacrifice John's life to protect them...assuming Commandant Grayza doesn't capture him first.
b: 14 Jun 02 pc: 402 w: Justin Monjo d: Rowan Woodsrc: Jool, Sikozu, Noranti, Grayza, Braca
D'Argo and Jool have a plan to save the gang's hides, but as usual, things don't go quite according to plan. While Grayza discovers the...um...hard way, that John Crichton is a difficult catch to hold onto, Scorpius suffers what may be his final betrayal, and the crew shares another parting of ways.
b: 21 Jun 02 pc: 403 w: Justin Monjo d: Rowan Woodsrc: Sikozu, Noranti
When the gang makes a quick pit stop on a seemingly barren planet, Rygel's penchant for shiny objects gets him stuck -- quite literally -- in another fine mess. While Sikozu and Chiana try to master the Lo'la's controls for a rescue attempt, the rest of the team seems to keep getting deeper into trouble...
b: 28 Jun 02 pc: 404 w: Michael Miller d: Michael Pattinsonrc: Sikozu, Noranti, Grayza, Braca
The crew is complete at last, but with a pricetag, as Moya once more is asked to grant asylum to a fugitive from the Peacekeepers. The reunion may be a moot point for Aeryn, however, if the crew can't weasel a cure for her heat delirium from the humongous alien ship looming over their Leviathan...
b: 12 Jul 02 pc: 405 w: Richard Manning d: Geoff Bennettrc: Sikozu, Noranti
Wormholes at last! But first the crew needs to resolve a few small matters, like getting free from the tendrils of a Leviathan-eating space weed, and electing a captain. As Scorpius, Noranti, and Sikozu start to find their feet as members of Moya's crew, the rest of the gang find their own roles shifting -- with an unexpected outcome.
b: 19 Jul 02 pc: 406 w: Sophie C. Hopkins d: Ian Watsonrc: Sikozu, Noranti, Jool, Stark, Zhaan
Talk about mind games: while on a supply mission, Chiana picks up some Uncharted Territories porn, and a game that sends John on a not-entirely merry romp through file reality...with no exit.
b: 26 Jul 02 pc: 407 w: Ben Browder d: Tony Tilserc: Sikozu, Noranti
Crichton and Noranti return from a shopping expedition to find Moya hijacked. Crawling through the Leviathan's ducts looking for a way to rescue his crewmates, John gets assistance from an old enemy; he'll need it, since the rest of the gang is in the attackers' pockets...literally.
b: 2 Aug 02 pc: 408 w: Christopher Wheeler d: Rowan Woodsrc: Sikozu
Venturing into Tormented Space, it doesn't take Moya's crew long to run afoul of the locals. It's no surprise when they're drawn into a tribal conflict, but for a change it's Aeryn who starts the trouble...by assassinating the leader-elect.
b: 9 Aug 02 pc: 409 w: Mark Saraceni d: Geoff Bennettrc: Sikozu, Noranti
The crew makes a pit stop for a Leviathan tune-up, but sampling the local cuisine turns out to be a really bad idea when their meal turns into an attempted extortion-by-food-poisoning. Buying a cure would be no big deal -- except that the vital ingredient is being kept as a secret weapon of the planet's underclass, in preparation for a coup.
b: 16 Aug 02 pc: 410 w: Emily Skopov d: Ian Watsonrc: Sikozu, Noranti, Zhaan, Crais, Stark, Braca
A simple wormhole-watching EVA turns into a nightmare of alternate realities for Crichton...and if he's not careful, perhaps also for those he loves most.
b: 23 Aug 02 pc: 411 w: David Kemper d: Andrew Prowserc: Sikozu, Noranti, Jack Crichton, Grayza, Braca
D'Argo and the crew rescue John, but not before he's made a most unfortunate ripple in the timestream. While Rygel discovers the joys of chocolate, everyone else tries to blend into the celebration of Halloween, and Crichton tries to save his father from a doomed spaceflight. This time failure is truly not an option: without his father's example and support, John would never have become an astronaut - or launched the Farscape project. Not to worry, he and the crew have a plan. (Naturally, it goes as smoothly as their plans always do...)
b: 10 Jan 03 pc: 412 w: Justin Monjo d: Rowan Woodsrc: Sikozu, Noranti, Jack Crichton, Grayza, Braca, DK
The arrival of Moya and her passengers throws the world for a loop, but John is too busy worrying about protecting the planet to enjoy the reunion with his family. He's survived torture, explosions, the vacuum of space, and too many critters to count, but it's Earth's future that frightens him most. Who can he tell, about the wonders - and horrors - that have changed him?
b: 17 Jan 03 pc: 413 w: Richard Manning d: Peter Andrikidisrc: Sikozu, Noranti
The crew stops to ask for directions, bartering with a passing trader for maps of Tormented Space. But then Aeryn becomes extremely emotional, Rygel displays a generous streak, and Chiana finds herself ready to declare celibacy - could it have anything to do with the meek slave they liberated from the traders? And just what are Scorpius and Sikozu up to, when they team up as allies?
b: 24 Jan 03 pc: 414 w: David Peckinpah d: Kate Woodsrc: Sikozu, Noranti
In search of information about the alien that attacked the Crichtons and killed DK, Scorpius takes the menfolk to one of his former mentors, an instructor in mental discipline and control. Control is the last thing on D'Argo's mind, however, when he discovers his most hated enemy in the class. Meanwhile, knowing Crichton will need this training to withstand Scarran interrogation if captured, Scorpius watches him sweat through the course.
b: 31 Jan 03 pc: 415 w: Mark Saraceni d: Geoff Bennettrc: Sikozu, Noranti, Grayza, Braca
While the boys are off at camp, the girls go shopping, to buy Moya a disguise. Their expedition takes them to a black-market trading outpost; unfortunately, it also happens to be where the Peacekeepers have arranged a clandestine summit with the Scarrans, whose duplicity catches more than just Grayza offguard.
b: 7 Feb 03 pc: 416 w: Carlton Eastlake d: Rowan Woodsrc: Sikozu, Noranti
Ever have one of those days, when you turn on the television, and all your friends and family are on one of those tabloidy, investigative programs, talking about their strange experiences with aliens and conspiracies and galactic intrigues? No? You sure? Darn, John Crichton could really use your advice on how to handle that sort of situation...
b: 14 Feb 03 pc: 417 w: David Kemper d: Andrew Prowserc: Sikozu, Noranti
Hoping to obtain information about wormhole technology and/or capture Crichton, the Scarrans interrogate Aeryn enroute to their home base...and are only too delighted to discover her pregnancy.
b: 21 Feb 03 pc: 418 w: Justin Monjo d: Peter Andrikidisrc: Sikozu, Noranti
Although (as usual) Moya's crewmates are improvising as they go when they set out to rescue Aeryn, this time Noranti may have gone too far, by starting a deadly plague aboard a Scarran border station.
b: 28 Feb 03 pc: 419 w: David Peckinpah d: Geoff Bennettrc: Sikozu, Noranti, Stark, Grayza, Braca
With Aeryn resting safely aboard Moya, everything should be rosy for the crew...except Harvey's returned from the dead, claiming that Scorpius knows everything John does about wormholes. Since Harv's progenitor is currently in a Scarran torture chamber, that presents a bit of a problem. Now John's got a little Cold War strategy on tap, which will either let them rescue Scorpy, or get them all blown up. It's just one of those typical days...
b: 7 Mar 03 pc: 420 w: Carleton Eastlake d: Karl Zwickyrc: Sikozu, Noranti, Stark, Grayza, Braca
Power and political alliances shift from one minute to the next, as the crew tries to make their escape (Scorpy in tow) from Katratzi; the line between freedom fighting and terrorism begins to blur when John finds that (for now) he may need to give Scorpius exactly what he wants.
b: 14 Mar 03 pc: 421 w: Mark Saraceni d: Rowan Woodsrc: Sikozu, Noranti, Stark, Braca
Loose lips sink ships...or in this case, perhaps an entire planet. John's stray comment about his mother's garden prompts the Scarrans to mount an invasion of Earth. With his typical bad timing, John must choose between a Peacekeeper alliance and leaving his world behind forever.
