The Farscape universe expands again as we are introduced to the Nebari, Chiana (Gigi Edgley)! Durka Returns first aired on 13 August, 1999 and was written by Grant McAloon.

When Moya starbursts and accidentally collides with a small craft, Aeryn (Claudia Black), Crichton (Ben Browder), Zhaan (Virginia Hey), D’Argo (Anthony Simcoe) and Rygel (voiced by Jonathan Hardy) bring the survivors aboard.

Rygel is shocked to see that among the trio is Durka (David Wheeler) the Sebacean Peacekeeper who tortured him. He seems more at peace now. It seems the Nebari have given him a mind cleanse. and works with the Nebari now.

Everyone, including Durka, insists that he’s no longer the brutal commander he once was, but Rygel refuses to believe it. He, in fact, attempts to murder Durka, not caring that Crichton may get in the way.

Chiana is a prisoner, seen over by Salis (Tiriel Mora), though Crichton isn’t sure she’s actually committed a crime.

Salis proves he may be as dangerous as Durka was, making veiled threats against everyone with the imminent arrival of more Nebari. But what if Durka isn’t cured?

Chiana is intent on escaping and while she eludes the crew, Salis ends up dead, and Durka makes a move of his own proving Rygel was right all along.

Will the crew be able to get rid of Durka, and what about Chiana? And what will happen when Durka endangers Moya’s unborn child?

Man, this series is just building and building, and not taking any prisoners. All the characters are flawed, and most everyone Crichton encounters is morally gray.

A Human Reaction was written by Justin Monjo and debuted on 20 August, 1999.

Pilot (voiced by Lani John Tupu) summons Crichton to the bridge, they’ve encountered a wormhole, and at it’s end, it looks like… could it be… Earth?

Firing up his little craft, Farscape One, Crichton makes his farewells, though both he and Aeryn are saddened that she isn’t wiling to go with him. Entering the wormhole, Crichton returns home.

He’s grabbed by the military and scientists who run a batter of tests on him and keep him locked away as they try to figure out who or what he is. But as Crichton begins to ask questions, he begins to suspect or worry that something else may be happening.

But emotions are complicated when Crichton’s dad, Jack (Kent McCord) arrives. Events get complicated when Aeryn and company travel through the wormhole as well.

They are all locked up, and no one can understand them, because they don’t have translator microbes in their brains. Crichton is shocked and angry when he’s summoned to medical to find Rygel being autopsied.

Crichton and Aeryn are able to escape, but can Crichton trust his father? Can he trust what he sees?

Aeryn and Crichton seemingly consummate their relationship.

As Aeryn and Crichton make their escape, he begins to suspect that something else is going on. None of the magazines are current, they are all seven months old, and he begins to recognize everyone around them, from his memories.

So what’s happening? Is it just John Crichton going crazy?

John is being examined, studied by aliens, who are looking for a safe place to travel to, somewhere that they could be accepted, and now thanks to the way Crichton’s little frame played out, they know they won’t be safe there.

Silly humans.
