Farscape

Astronaut John Crichton attempts to use the Earth's atmosphere to propel his module Farscape 1 at high speeds but he is hit by a radiation wave and sucked through a wormhole into a distant part of the universe and straight into the middle of a space battle. After almost colliding with another ship, which explodes shortly afterwards, he is brought aboard a ship full of alien prisoners attempting to escape custody. After being partnered with a captured Peacekeeper soldier, Crichton is drawn into the prisoners' daring plan to escape the clutches of the Peacekeeper forces and their vengefully obsessed military commander.

The crew comes across a ship that is molecularly de-stabilizing. D'Argo makes everyone bring the ship's escape pod aboard when he discovers that the ship's passengers are Ilanics -- long-time allies of the Luxans. Aboard the escape pod, Crichton gets a shock and starts experiencing strange visions of the future, first of himself and one of the Ilanics, then of Moya's destruction.

When a group of Tavleks come aboard for trade negotiations, Rygel takes a vitally important crystal from Moya to make himself appear wealthy. The Tavleks kidnap Rygel to hold for ransom. Crichton, Aeryn and D'Argo attempt to rescue Rygel with the use of a Tavlek weapon. Meanwhile, Zhaan has interesting interactions with a wounded Tavlek left behind on Moya.

The crew find an abandoned Peacekeeper ship adrift in space. On board they discover that Crais recently deposited a unit of techs to make repairs. Meanwhile Rygel learns that this was the ship where he was first held captive and starts getting paranoid. Things get worse when a group of fire-breathing aliens show up.

The crew visits a planet full of happy workers. Soon D'Argo and Zhaan start working and refuse to return to the ship. Meanwhile Rygel's body fluids become explosive and Aeryn and Pilot must learn why before Rygel dies.

A Peacekeeper beacon goes off and Moya has to land on an alien planet to prevent its signal being intercepted and Moya being discovered. Crichton, D'Argo and Aeryn leave Moya and explore the planet in search of a substance that can be used to numb Moya's senses so the beacon can be removed but Crichton gets separated from the group and meets up with some inhabitants of the planet who hide him from the authorities.

Moya gets infested with bugs who have come on board to breed. They turn up the temperature to speed up the process but this causes Aeryn to get heat delirium as she is cold blooded. The bugs seem to be able to replicate members of the crew. And as if that isn't enough, a Peacekeeper ship shows up.

Crichton is put into a head-to-head battle with Crais by a magical being named Maldis who feeds off the emotions of others and makes himself stronger by absorbing all of the negative energy and anger from Crichton and Crais.

A scientist extracts DNA from several of Moya's crew, promising them that with it he will be able to find the locations of their home planets. Conflict arises when he asks for a sample from Pilot -- specifically, one of his arms.

During routine searches for Peacekeeper beacons, D'Argo falls down a chute, destroys a Peacekeeper shield and gets ejected into open space. After being rescued D'Argo starts to think that everyone on Moya are members of his family. Moya, meanwhile, starts to alter the environmental conditions inside the ship so that it is hardly habitable for the crew.

Crichton comes across the same conditions that created the wormhole that sent him to Moya. He and Aeryn leave Moya in his module in an attempt to create another wormhole and return home. Although a wormhole forms, it is unstable and damages the module. Crichton and Aeryn are forced to make an emergency landing on a planet to make repairs. There, they encounter a holographic message sent by Crais, offering rewards for: D'Argo, Zhaan and Rygel.

While taking a piloting lesson on a transport pod with Aeryn, Crichton gets caught in an energy field which is invisible to their sensors. Meanwhile, back on Moya, a strange guest docks and comes aboard to warn the crew about The Flax, an invisible energy net created to catch ships which are then plundered by pirates.

Moya responds to a distress call from another pregnant Leviathan. The crew learns, upon arrival at the planet from which the call originated, that they've been deceived. The call actually came from a group of exiled Delvians who want to learn -- forcibly, if need be -- how Zhaan overcame the madness caused by giving in to her anger.

Several heated arguments with the crew prompt Crichton to take his module for a cruise. While away from the ship, a problem with Moya causes her to Starburst without warning, leaving Crichton stranded. While separated from the others, he discovers a forgotten colony with an appalling secret- a secret that their religious leaders have gone to great lengths to conceal.

When a Starburst goes badly wrong, Moya collides with a Nebari ship. On board is Durka, Rygel's former torturer, who has been mind cleansed and now serves the Nebari. Chiana, an attractive young rebel faces the same fate. Rygel takes it upon himself to take revenge on Durka and ends up undoing the cleansing and restoring him to his former, tyrannic incarnation.

After discovering a wormhole that appears to lead back to Earth, Crichton takes the chance that it might be his ticket home. He crash lands on a beach in Australia and finds that although Earth is exactly as he remembered it, it is not exactly what he was expecting.

Moya tries to Starburst to prove to the crew that she still can. It goes badly wrong, though, and she gets stuck in Starburst with reality split into several different and strange dimensions.

A Peacekeeper ship approaches Moya, so Crichton and Aeryn pose as Peacekeeper officers on a secret mission while everyone else gets locked into cells to make the deception seem realistic. The Peacekeepers that come aboard, however have some strange and dangerous cargo aboard which wreaks havoc when accidentally released by Rygel and Chiana snooping through the Peacekeepers' possessions.

Crichton and Chiana try to infiltrate a Peacekeeper base to get a vital tissue graft for Aeryn, who will die without it. Crichton gets caught by Scorpius and imprisoned. He is tortured using a device called the 'Aurora Chair' which is able to look inside his mind and, as Scorpius wants, to reveal the secrets of wormholes.

Although still recovering from her near-death experience, Aeryn is determined to save Crichton, who is being held captive by the Peacekeepers. Zhaan and D'Argo join her, while Chiana and Rygel stay behind with Moya who is about to deliver her offspring. Soon suspicion falls on Crais, after Gilina's technical manipulation of the Aurora Chair causes Scorpius to wonder if in fact Crais is responsible. This leaves Crichton open for rescue.

Moya is hiding in an asteroid field from a Peacekeeper command carrier. They receive a distress call and Crichton, Zhaan and D'Argo go down to one of the asteroids to rescue a woman who becomes intent on eating them.

Rygel steals a transport pod and goes to the Peacekeeper command carrier to betray the others. However he ends up returning to Moya with Crais, who wants asylum. Meanwhile, Crichton decides to destroy Scorpius' Gammak Base.

Crichton, Aeryn and D'Argo are stranded in an asteroid field while Scorpius searches for them. Their safety depends on Crais, who is nearby in Talyn. Aeryn teaches Crais how to control the young Leviathan - the only thing she can offer in return for the lives of her friends. When Moya returns to the asteroid field to look for her offspring, and Crichton decides to remove Crais from control of Talyn, Scorpius finally sees his chance to strike.

D'Argo takes part in a sacred ritual that helps an old Luxan, an Orican, to survive. During the ritual the Orican draws energy from who she thinks is D'Argo but is actually Moya. Consequently Moya starts to age rapidly.

After getting word that her brother is dead, Chiana leaves Moya and goes to a 'grave planet' populated by a race of young people who play dangerous and life-threatening games.

The crew returns from a commerce planet with a load of crackers and a meek alien called T'raltixx, who promises he can alter Moya's electromagnetic profile in order to make her untraceable. Crichton is skeptical; it seems too good to be true. As they pass through a constellation of pulsars, an intense paranoia affects the crew, turning them violently again each other. Crichton must fight against his own paranoid delusions to work out what T'raltixx is actually doing -- and how to stop him.

A datacam tape is uncovered showing Aeryn as part of a Peacekeeper firing squad that executed a previous Pilot aboard Moya. The rest of the crew wants answers but Aeryn is reluctant to revisit her past - especially her relationship with Velorek, the man charged with forcibly bonding a new Pilot to Moya. Pilot (the current one, that is) refuses to communicate with the crew, not wanting to reveal his own complicity in the murky circumstances surrounding his installment as Moya's guide.

While visiting a planet Chiana visits a trader and is given a picture which can supposedly predict the future free of charge. Back on Moya the crew become alarmed when the picture begins to predict people's deaths and soon the crew are unable to stop it. But before long it is revealed that an old enemy is responsible for what is happening.

With Moya out of food, Chiana leads everyone to a dead Budong where she once worked. Meanwhile on Moya, Aeryn is left to deal with a carnivorous Zhaan.

While waiting inside a transport pod, to be picked up by Moya, Zhaan tells Crichton about being accused and tried for murder during his absence.

When a hostile alien ship fires first at the Moya, the crew, despite the fact that their energy shield is up, finds their minds switched into another person's body. As a result, Crichton is in the body of Aeryn, Aeryn is in the body of Rygel, and Rygel is in the body of Crichton. In the cockpit, Pilot is in the body of Chiana, Chiana is in the body of D'Argo, and D'Argo is in the body of Pilot. They're all forced to adapt to their new bodies as they attempt to figure out what caused the switch.

A strange globe appears on Moya, sucking in Crichton and duplicating him creating two additional people. One who is a de-evolved 'cave man' and another who has increased mental ability.

Moya arrives at a planet where the people test their genetic compatibility by kissing. Crichton kisses a princess, who is next in line for the throne, and discovers that his DNA is a perfect match for her. He must now marry her and they will rule together. This is against the wishes of her brother, who is second in line for the throne -- conspiring with a Scarran.

Plots swirl around Crichton and his fiancee, Princess Katralla. The empress promises Crichton that if he doesn't marry her daughter, she will hand him over to Scorpius. Meanwhile, Prince Clavor plots to assassinate Crichton so that he may ascend to the throne in his sister's place.

Now married, Crichton and Katralla are frozen into living statues so that they may watch over the presiding governments of the next eighty cycles. Immediately, Clavor and the Scarran emissary attempt another assassination and succeed in removing Crichton's head. Empress Novia threatens to kill all off-worlders, putting D'Argo, Chiana and Rygel in danger. Finding Crichton's head is now a matter of life or death.

When the crew hear rumors of creatures infesting ships in the area, they buy an alien tracker to remove the creatures aboard Moya. But it soon becomes apparent that the creatures could cause a lot of damage before the tracker finds it putting the crew in danger.

Crichton wakes to find himself back on Earth and the Farscape project failing. However, all is not as it seems, with D'Argo, Aeryn and co. co-existing with DK and his Dad. Crichton only has Scorpius to turn to for answers before it's too late!

Moya gets stuck in a temporal anomoly but is unaware of it. Aeryn returns from recon after only a few hours but has aged many years.

When Crais and Talyn rendezvous with Moya, the crew boards Talyn, where Crais presents them with a proposal about the young ship's future. Meanwhile, a ship that Crais intended to purchase weaponry from approaches Talyn, butTalyn fires and destroys it. Crais and Talyn flee, but the crew get captured and are put on trial for for their lives.

A group of Nebari come on board Moya and attempt to mind cleanse everyone using a drug. Pilot and Rygel are the only two who can resist the effects. Crichton also remains unaffected due to Scorpius' neural clone.

Stark returns to Moya with a plan to rob a shadow depository and buy a contingent of slaves, one of which is D'Argo's son Jothee. D'Argo attempts the robbery on his own however and now the crew must recover him as well as the money they require.

The crew is stunned when they learn that Scorpius has bought the slaves out from under D'Argo. Rather than trade Crichton for Jothee, Crichton, D'Argo, Aeryn and Rygel seek out mercenaries to help them steal the slaves. In the process, they encounter some enemies they've fought in the past. Meanwhile, back on Moya, the stolen money has turned into metal-eating spiders that begin to consume Moya.

Crichton turns himself over to Scorpius in order to free Jothee. With all the mercenaries now aboard Moya, the crew form a plan to rescue Crichton and destroy the depository.

The crew find a doctor that can heal Moya's burns and remove Crichton's neural chip. Things are complicated however when Crichton is informed he needs additional brain tissue from a donor in stasis who will die when the tissue is removed. Also Scorpius is beginning to take over Crichton's mind.

The Diagnosan's assistant, Grunchlk, sets a Scarran loose. Scorpius uses a device to control Grunchlk and plots to escape from the ice planet with John's neural chip.

Moya docks at a commerce station so the crew can spend some of the money they acquired from the depository. There are complications, however, when a storm strikes the station.

Moya approaches a wormhole, gets pulled in, only to collide with another ship and become fused with it. Only one ship can ultimately survive, and the aliens aboard the other ship will stop at nothing to be sure that it will be theirs.

The crew works out a way of getting free from the other ship and out of the wormhole. Things become more complicated when their new 'friends' begin to sabotage Moya and Crichton picks up a transmission from Earth.

While visiting a Peacekeeper memorial, Stark accidentally sends himself, Crichton, D'Argo, Aeryn and Jool back in time where they alter the timeline and then are forced to interfere further to restore it.

In need of supplies, Crichton lands his transport pod on a dying leviathan which is full of hungry cannibals and a scientist who has the ability to create clones.

Moya and Talyn, who is seriously damaged, rendezvous. They hide in the atmosphere of a planet to prevent the Peacekeepers from finding them. D'Argo and Rygel go down to the planet to find some Chromextin, a drug that will help Talyn recover. Meanwhile, Aeryn learns more about her parents and there are two Crichtons on board continuing from the last episode.

Talyn is swallowed by a giant space creature known as a Budong. Crais' neural connection to Talyn malfunctions and Aeryn is forced to take control of Talyn. Meanwhile, Stark and Rygel come up with a way to help Talyn escape from the Budong.

The crew of Moya start blacking out and missing portions of time. Pilot becomes inhabited by another entity who needs to 'taste' each crewmember to determine if they too are being inhabited.

Talyn lands on a planet covered mostly with vegetation that will help him to heal. Crichton, Aeryn and Crais leave the ship in search of Xhalax.

With his wormhole research stalling and his situation desperate, Scorpius inserts the original 'neurochip' into his own brain. He hopes to make contact with the clone of Crichton's personality that spilled in to the chip when it was in Crichton's brain. When they meet, Scorpius realizes that it's not going to be easy to get the clone to share information. Meanwhile, a defecting Peacekeeper scientist offers Crichton the secret of wormhole technology.

When Talyn draws dangerously close to a sun because he is being pulled by some mysterious force, Talyn's crew learn that a creature named Mu-Quillus is responsible. Stark then makes a pact with a spirit of a dead alien woman and puts the whole of Talyn's crew at risk.

While enjoying their holiday away from Moya, Crichton, D'Argo, Jool and Chiana get a little too drunk. The next day when Crichton and D'Argo come to they find that Chiana and Jool are nowhere to be seen, now Crichton and D'Argo must work out what really happened the night before.

When Crichton is accused of sharing wormhole stabilizing technology with a race known as the Charrids by the Ancient who calls himself Jack. Crichton and the rest of Talyn's crew must seek out an old acquaintance who really is the guilty one.

Jack (The Ancient) unlocks the wormhole knowledge in Crichton's mind so together they can build a device to destroy the Scarran dreadnought.

There is an accident whilst D'Argo is demonstrating what his ship can do. He blames Crichton and knocks him out. In his unconscious state, Crichton has some animated dreams.

Still grieving for Crichton, Aeryn travels to a planet to make contact with someone claiming to be her father. After meeting with him, Aeryn goes in search of a creature who, according to her father, can channel the dead. But where her father is, can her mother be far behind?

A group of escaped prisoners come aboard Moya. They are followed shortly by Aeryn, Crais and Rygel who have finally returned from Talyn.

D'Argo and Rygel meet Braca and Scorpius in a cafe to conduct negotiations when it is unexpectedly attacked.

Crichton and the rest of Moya's crew arrive at the Command Carrier to try and put an end to Scorpius' mad obsession with wormhole research. Slowly Crichton gains Scorpius' trust, but when a Peacekeeper commandant arrives at the Carrier and tells Scorpius that he must put an end to his wormhole research, Scorpius shows Crichton something which he has been searching for over the past three years... Earth.

Crais and Talyn make the ultimate sacrifice to save the crew of Moya, by Starbursting into the Command Carrier causing it to slowly collapse in on itself. Meanwhile Scorpius and Crichton move closer to the wormhole technology they are both looking for.

Moya takes Talyn's remains to the sacred burial ground where D'Argo is forced to destroy a rogue Leviathan that is attacking other ships.

Crichton, who is now aboard a dying Leviathan named Elack, works on his theories of wormhole physics. But when a female alien named Sikozu lands on the ship, she is followed by a squad of Grudek mercenaries who want to harvest the Leviathan's neural cluster tissue. Crichton struggles to save his new home but gets some welcome help when two old friends rejoin him.

Elack arrives at a planet and Crichton, Chiana and Rygel are reunited with D'Argo and Jool who are at an archaeological site run by Jool's people, the Interions. The purpose of the dig is to find a missing probe which might reverse the dangerous atmosphere of the planet. But things take a turn for the worse when Peacekeepers led by Grayza land on the planet.

When D'Argo and Sikozu come up with a plan to crash Elack (the dying Leviathan) into the Peacekeeper pursuit craft, Crichton is forced to get closer with Grayza to ensure the success of the plan. But when the plan goes wrong Crichton and the rest of the crew are forced to go looking for the third probe to end the magnetic summer forever.

While the crew has stopped off on a planet, Rygel leaves the rest of the group and is caught in an unbreakable orange substance as he's stealing treasures he discovers in a cave. When D'Argo, Crichton and Noranti go looking for Rygel, the cave seals them in. Two huge grunts appear who have protective armor which protects them from weapons fires.

D'Argo, Rygel, Crichton, Chiana and Sikozu get back to Moya, only to find that Scorpius is there waiting for them along with Aeryn, now suffering from heat delirium. Aeryn has granted Scorpius asylum and claims that Scorpius saved her life.

While in close proximity to a wormhole, Moya is preoccupied and doesn't notice a slowly moving object heading towards her. Moya collides with the object which then covers her entire hull, causing great discomfort to her as well as the crew.

While on a transport pod, Chiana nags Crichton to try out a virtual reality game. A transmission comes through from D'Argo concerning a problem with Scorpius. Despite this, Chiana pulls Crichton into one of the games, where they become trapped., and the only way out is to complete the game.

A group of bounty hunters come aboard Moya and take everyone hostage. When Crichton arrives back with Noranti, he destroys the bounty hunter's ship and goes aboard Moya to rescue everyone whilst Noranti puts herself into a coma so she can survive outside the ship.

With Moya immobilized in Tormented Space, Crichton, Aeryn, Chiana, D'Argo and Sikozu seek temporary respite on a planet inhabited by historically warring clans who are now experiencing a fragile peace. The crew's arrival coincides with preparations for the election of a new ruler, or 'Prefect'. Incumbent Prefect Falaak is at the end of his half cycle in power, and reluctant to concede it. Popular clan leader Gashaah looks the likely successor, but faces a strong challenge from the Chieftan of the Jabuka Clan. Aeryn begins experiencing strange hallucinations, then without warning opens fire upon a meeting of the clans; when it is over, Gaashah lies amongst the dead, D'Argo wounded. She escapes during the confusion, leaving her crewmates under suspicion.

The crew consume food, sharing amongst themselves, unaware that if these special mollusks are not ingested by the same person, it becomes toxic. Consequently, they must quickly find a cure or they'll die. Fortunately there's someone who's happy to come through... for a price. But there's more going on here than their own problems, and solving them may be a real drag!

Crichton gets sucked into a wormhole while he is studying it, but instead of exiting the wormhole on the other end he becomes trapped with a mysterious man inside the wormhole. The man claims he is a relation of The Ancients who Crichton met before and gave him his wormhole technology. He demonstrates the consequences of wormhole travel to Crichton and forces him to confront the possibility that he may never be able to get home.

After accidentally returning to Earth, Crichton discovers it he is in 1985 and he has altered the time line, causing his father to be scheduled to fly on the doomed shuttle Challenger.

Moya arrives at Earth in present day, Christmas. The crew show their ships and technology to Earth's scientists. Crichton starts writing a journal. The creature left onboard Moya by Grayza manages to get to Earth where it starts killing and hunting down Crichton.

Moya takes on a new passenger when Chiana insists that they rescue the young female from the men exploiting her. However, they soon learn that Talikaa is not the innocent that she pretends to be, but rather an alien predator in disguise who plans to feed on their neural energy.

Scorpius signs D'Argo, Crichton and Rygel up for a training camp where the students learn mental discipline by battling in an artificial environment.

At a commerce settlement, Aeryn, Chiana, Noranti and Sikozu make a deal for a sensor distorter to shield Moya from detection. Construction will take time, though... leaving them stuck there just as Peacekeepers and Scarrans arrive for a secret diplomatic meeting. As Chiana and Noranti try to avoid detection, Aeryn and Sikozu do some spying. Grayza makes the Scarrans a surprising offer to ensure peace... endangering many innocent lives in the process. War Minister Ahkna has some surprises of her own... forcing Aeryn and Sikozu to take action.

Crichton watches a documentary that Moya receives from Earth about their recent visit showing interviews with Crichton's relatives and other people who interacted with the crew.

Crichton and Scorpius travel to one of the 'unrealized realities' where Crichton believes he heard Stark say "Katratzi". Meanwhile on a Scarran ship, Aeryn resists torture, while protecting herself and her and Crichton's child.

Moya arrives at a station where the Scarran vessel transporting Aeryn is docked.

Moya arrives at Katratzi. Crichton attends the peace talks between the Scarrans and the Peacekeepers... with a nuclear bomb.

The plan to rescue Scorpius from Katratzi fails and all because of the hybrid himself. He claims it was for the crew's own good, but, regardless, they are now stuck. Most still want to find another way out, but Scorpius reveals some secrets and pushes a plan to strike a major blow against the Scarrans. His target, surprisingly, is the Crystherium Utilia. The crew had better hurry, especially once the Scarrans deactivate Crichton's bomb. Success ends up depending on a secret held by Sikozu. Elsewhere on Katratzi, Rygel and Noranti search for Stark, only to run afoul of his bioloid. Meanwhile, Grayza fears her plans for peace have failed and now threatens to ignite a war.

With their Crystherium stores low, the Scarrans must travel to Earth through a wormhole to replenish their supply, as those flowers grow there. With Pilot's help, Crichton tries to collapse the wormhole leading back to Earth.
