chavalahThis won’t go down as the funniest “Farscape” episode of all time, but it sure does beat the last Moya-centric one. But more importantly, it was a very needed reprieve after the seriousness and impending depression of the last two in the lineup. Most viewers would probably give this little number a bit of leeway, so long as it could provide some light-heartedness. And man oh man, it did provide plenty of that.
Of course it’s not an entirely light episode. We are also dealing with the implications of D’argo’s rage, and the girls struggling with just who they are on this boat. John’s parts are the funniest, but more than anyone else this hour he has to dig deep in order to find a reason to live. As usual, there are significant parallels between what is going on with Moya John and what is going on with Talyn John, but there’s no way not to be spoilery about it! I’ll leave it for under the cut.
And in that vein, I don’t exactly want to spoil the type of humor that this episode entails, but suffice to say…things get animated. :P I can’t claim credit for that pun; you’ll find it on the site listed below. But this, to me, is classic “Farscape,” the creativity, the charm. And hey, the CGI isn’t too dated either! Booyah!
