When Moya overhears the discussion of her passengers about perhaps leaving her and her unborn child, the leviathan with Pilot’s (voiced by Lani John Tupu) guidance triggers a starburst, and gets them stuck.

Through the Looking Glass was written by David Kemper and was first aired on 10 September, 1999.

Moya seems to be split across dimensions across the light spectrum, each with its on effects, and there may be something else in the starburst with them. Something dangerous? Or is it?

Crichton (Ben Browder) and the rest have to find a way to help Moya get out of starburst, and reform. Everyone, in their way will have to lend a hand, even as Chiana (Gigi Edgley) is settling into the crew – though she’s not sure she wants to.

Aeryn (Claudia Black) is still growing as a character, becoming so much more than who she was. In fact, with the whole crew working to restore Moya from starburst, all of them seem to be more, transitioning from crew to family.

Something that Moya’s announcement that the baby will be born soon simply solidifies all the more.

A great episode, with lots of big ideas, vomiting, Aeryn being awesome, and Crichton trying to fit in and survive in this world that is quickly becoming his home. I really liked this one, and loved the fact that there was more going on in the shattered starburst than was suspected.

We’re closing on the end of the first season, and the characters are layered, continuity is in full force, and Farscape amazes at almost every turn.

A Bug’s Life features Crichton using his Imperial, sorry Peacekeeper accent. An elite group of Peacekeepers come aboard Moya. They requisition her for their mission.

Written by series creator Rockne S. O’Bannon (as Steven Rae) from a story by Doug Heyes Jr. this episode debuted on 17 September, 1999.

Posing as a Captain, he and Aeryn immediately clash with the Peacekeeper outfit, led by Larraq (Paul Leyden) over control of Moya. The rest of her crew aren’t keen to pose as prisoners having been held by Peacekeepers before, but it may be the safest option.

D’Argo (Anthony Simcoe) has the hardest time being chained up again and Rygel (voiced by Jonathan Hardy) is hiding somewhere on the ship. Everyone seems to think this plan is going to go sideways soon enough, especially as they close in on the remote Peacekeeper base that is Larraq’s destination.

What are they shipping? And what happens if it gets loose and begins taking over the Peacekeepers and the others?

It’s all going sideways and there is so much trouble coming because of it. Can they all work together to stop this thing? This intelligent virus that body leaps and wants to lay its spores, taking over all of them. And can they do it before they arrive at the Peacekeeper installation known as Gammak Base.

I like this one, despite Crichton’s shoddy accent, and the universe continues to build as we realize there are countless dangers out there, and Moya and her crew are just one small part of thisgalaxy.
