Interesting that the Season One four-part cliffhanger is followed by at
least a two-part followup, of which the first part resolves NOTHING left
open from before. Nothing.

This episode covers everything untouched in the second season's first episode,� This is great episode,� and sets things up for the remainder of the season. We find out that Chianna and D'Argo have special powers,�and our friend Scorpius is part cyborg. Crais still has control of Talyn. Moya goes looking for him, back to the burned out peacekeeper moon/ asteroid field where he was last seen. Aeryn strikes up a deal with Crais in return for his help saving Crichton and D'Argo! Aeryn is able to scoop up Crichton and D'Argo during a space battle with the peacekeepers. Aeryn, John, and D'Argo end up at an outpost that has been abandoned (looks like they filmed it in a old factory). Crais (who is still aboard Talyn)claims he is no longer a Peacekeeper,�and then Talyn decides not to obey Crais .� Aeryn's part of this deal is that she must help control the now uncontrollable Talyn!� While Crichton keeps watch on D'Argo who is in a coma, Aeryn sneaks away to keep in touch with Crais.� Crais contacts Scorpius and tells him a different story than he tells Aeryn. D'Argo snaps out of the coma, but Crichton figures out that Aeryn is hiding something from them, and forces her to confess. Crichton ends up capturing Crais and they all return to Moya. Talyn, with no one aboard takes off, with Moya and its crew chasing.� Talyn then demands the return of Crais. (Looks like Crais is going to stick around) The episode ends when they all starburst out of there. �This from "Farscape Fan" March 30: "Kissing the Stone" is a standalone adventure in which Crichton and Chianna do some bonding. When her sibling dies, Chianna runs off in Aeryn's runabout and various of the crew go chasing after, arriving on a cemetery world populated by a race of former gravediggers who live underground and who all die in their early twenties. Thus, our heroes are all old fogies to them. While Rygel demonstrates his shameless greed yet again, Chianna is sought out, John munches some magic four-headed mushrooms, and we encounter a cordless bungee jump straight down a well to kiss the stones... or, if the jumper sets up the right sound vibes to create a sonic safety net, not. Naturally, someone we know wants to go for the thrill. "Crackers Don't Matter" is also self-contained, and while I like the longer story arcs, it is also fun just to be able to watch something that does not turn into a soap opera, and I'm going to miss that, I'm sure, during the second part of the season when they start in again with their villains and continued stories. That crap killed X Files, when they switched from the Mystery of the Week-- where you didn't know going in whether you were in for problems with mutants, evil political conspirators, or even a close encounter with our space brothers-- to endless over plotted and Byzantine back story. But I digress. This episode is pretty funny, with everyone at each other's throats as they all, including Pilot, go somewhat insane when a Suspicious Character is brought onboard. Zhaan blisses out and has photogasms or something because of an intense encounter with light as they near some photon stars. And the rest become crazy and paranoid. John and Aeryn play spacewar with each other, using real blasters. As everything falls apart, it's not clear exactly what is going wrong or why, but Crichton figures it out and whips everyone into shape. He may not be as smart as the others, or physically impressive the way they are, or even able to see very well (good joke about that), since he's only human, after all, but he manages to see them all through. Along the way, the set is littered with nutrition squares-- crackers-- as people feast on them, hoard them, attack with them, and explode them into powder. This is off-beat stuff and a welcome relief from the serious dramatic issues that form not only the background reality of our heroes but, despite its rather slapstick nature, the basis for this episode as well. Scorpius may only be a hallucination this time around, but he's still out there. This from "Fetching Spoilers" Fri 6/30/00: There's a multi-part story coming up in which Crichton is forced to propose to a princess, with one of the downsides being that after they are wed, they are both immediately transformed into statues for 80 cycles. Aeryn, naturally, won't reveal her feelings, which might influence John a little, but not everyone is so recticent. Among things one can look forward to are Chiana and D'argo getting it on. Yup, interspecies sex! Our favorite dominar plays an important role in all this when he steps in to keep the happy couple from being killed off. And Scorpy is standing by. Meanwhile, Moya encounters the Builders who created her and gave her not just life, but a soul. Only... Leviathans are supposed to spread peace, and as the mother of Talyn, a gunship, she's not doing that so they decide she needs to be decommissioned, which pretty much terminates Pilot. Oops. Zhaan, however, is standing in the way, or trying to. There's a bit of beefcake for fans of Crichton-the-hunk and I assume there will be plenty of videocaptures whenever a bit of skin is shown as he continues to get his butt kicked around the galaxy. Keep an eye out for his red outfit, too, which is very fetching. This from "Anonymous Coward" Fri 7/7/00 Didn't we hear there was an extended story arc slated for later this season? Well, apparently it's about to begin. What with Crichton's marriage, him being put dramatically out of commission for-- well, easily for the life of the series-- and the apparent death of Moya and Pilot, what we have is the return of the Saturday matinee cliff-hanger, straight out of Flash Gordon and other serials, where the hero gets killed each week and magically revived the following Saturday, only to be demolished again. And Crichton certainly is a demolished man... at least for a while. Great stuff, and following nicely from last season's somewhat similar catastrophic finale. "Fetching Spoilers" may have been misleading in saying Crichton shows some skin in the wedding story, but he or she is correct about Chianna and D'Argo getting it on. 8/17/00 "Some Prouduction Type Guy" writes: Next episode, something like, "Fooled Me Once," has Johnny being mindtripped into an experience of back home with that D.K. guy, his Mom, Kent, Captian Crais, and all of Moya's regular crew,in various roles just as if aliens on earth were normal. Johnny checks the women's bathroom. Checks the date on the newspaper. Yup, got the details fixed up a little better this time. But who's behind this maddening nonsense? Is it Scorpy? And how does our hero get free? I cant give it ALL away! This one allows us to see TWISTED fantasies like a gay D'Argo, a slut Aeryn, and S/M Rygel. (this is an action figure EVERYONE will want) They not only give us the Human Among Aliens story, but let us see the regulars in different outfits-- in this case, jeans and various other forms of "normal clothes" but Scorpy and Pilot in a rock band is the highlight, to say the least. Yes, Scorpy Rocks! This snached from the Sci Fi message board: LG and Money part two-hmm well this was a different kettle of fish to last weeks.We open up with Moyas crew going to the slave auction to bid on the slave lot which includes starks people and Jothee-only they find that the lot has already been bought..by Scorpy!! So much for his "death" last week!! Wow!! While most shows would drag this out into a "guess who" the buyer is and have Scorpy appear as a surprise we have none of that in Farcsape-straight to the punch!!Much like Startk appearing in the first 30 seconds last week!! Brilliant stuff. Also the spiders from last week-whilst they may have thought to have been the main topic of this weeks show -again we were misdirected so that they are only a small part of the overall story!! Anyway back to the plot.Crichton comes up with a plan to hire mercenaries to intercept the slave delivery ship onroute to the depository.Think A-team in the Uncharteds!!LOL The kicker is that they hire/get folks we have already encountered before-like the a chiang,the bounty hunters,the pirates from the flax and those guys with the arm weapons from throne for a loss.It's like a season one bad guy reunion!!LOL We even have Rygel while going to get the flax pirates bumping into Durkha again(!!) who is now their leader-but Rygel bumps him off about 30 seconds after their "reunion"!.Just great-..every cliche you would expect is ignored..it just makes me wonder where the hell the real plot is going if they can ignore the plot opportunites of Durkha ect!! Anyway while Aeryn,JC ,Dargo and Rygel pick up the mercenaries Stark ,Zhaan and Chiana are left to deal with the spiders who are eating through moya.Zhaan discovers that the only way to destroy them is with fire-and this means setting fire to Moya herself.When the others return they find they have no money to pay the mercenaries with,Moya burnt badly and no way of getting Jothee..so JC does the only thing he can-he hands himself over to Scorpy without the others knowing it.It ends with Dargo being reuinited with his son.and then Aeryn nad Dargo realising what has happened-then cutting to JC and Scorpy-with JC telling him he has won... Oh my-we still have two episodes left-just what other frelling rabbits are they going to pull out of the hat??? Great stuff-well impressed!

On top of a nice new opening sequence which adds 3 characters (and their actors) to the main credits (Stark, Scorpius and Crais) we have the following events unfold: Spoiler space
.
John has obtained his speech back but with some added (by him) responsibilities which he literally brings onboard Moya with him. Cheyna and Jothee are having an affair behind D'argo's back (which Rygil walks, or should I say floats, in on). The Neural-Clone of Scorpius is STILL in John's head even though the "chip" has been removed (this gets resolved before the episode ends). Stark goes nuts and kills some dead people (don't ask). There is a Scarian running around trying to kill Scorpius as Scorpius is trying to kill John and the others, all the while Gunslik is screwing EVERYONE over. Crais an Talyn are fighting (and running from) a Peace-keeper commend carrier. Scorpius and Bracca are starting up a new Gamick base with the information housed in the Neural-chip taken from John's brain and intend to use the wormhole technology for nefarious purposes. Aryen is NOT dead. Zahnn gives up her life-force to retrieve Aryen's soul (and is therefore killing Zahnn). Aryen and John express their love for on another but Aryen refuses to let John get close (reasons are explained in the ep). All in all it was cool. I personally don't like when "dead" characters come back but since Zahnn is a spiritual priestess and we do know she has those odd abilities it doesn't fall that far from my willing suspention of disbelief. The ep ends with yet another damn cliffhanger (they have really gotten good at that). Good episode.
