Moya misunderstands a conversation among the crew and attempts to starburst. In her weakened state she comes to a dead stop in the middle of the procedure and Crichton suddenly finds that his crewmates have vanished...

Excellent episode. Love the bookends of the crew sat around the table eating all sorts of strange alien gunk and talking. Especially the end one with the whole "Grandmother Crichtons' famous buttermilk biscuits!" fiasco and then when D'Argo takes John's drink as he is proposing a toast :D Great stuff.

In fact the whole episode is filled with humour (especially from Rygel ;) ) which I suppose was needed as a balm against the next few episodes ;)

But I really didn't need to see John throw up quite so many times <_<

OMG - the look of amusement on Aeryn's face as John is trying to describe Rygel, makes me giggle just thinking of it!

There are so many great comedic moments in this episode that I better stop now before I bore you all.

But I will post some of my favs in the quote thread (even though I suppose most of them will have been done before) :D

It is a good episode. It's that rare beast in that it's one of the few Farscape episodes that tries to blind the viewer with technobabble. Fortunately it doesn't go quite as overboard as some other shows. ;)

The colour scheme used doesn't make a lot of sense, but what it does do is allow you to identify which Moya Crichton is in at any particular time, which is quite clever.

Above all else, I think the most important element of this episode is that we finally see the crew come together as a unit. Whereas the opening meal scene features them all arguing and on the verge of splitting and going their separate ways, the epilogue is quite the reverse. It also becomes apparent in this episode that Crichton has quietly assumed the role of the glue that keeps them together, mediating and working with them and, remarkably, getting along with all of them. It's actually quite touching.

In terms of continuity, the use of Aeryn's Pilot DNA is well used, and there are some nice moments setting up future relationships.

In essence this is a bridging episode between A Human Reaction and the build up to the grand finale. It does its job pretty well.

And it's refreshing to think that there are probably still the remnants of some carrots in Crichton's vomit. There are always carrots. :x

ewwhh to all the vomiting. :x

I liked this episode, a bit top heavy on the techno babble as pointed out already, but some very funny bits.

Were they pumping acid into the yellow reality Moya :lol:

How funny was John and Aeryn descibing Rygel and D'argo :lol: :lol:

Great continuity with Pilot's DNA being in Aeryn. Also I found it interesting how various members of the crew were affected by the different negative stimulus. Chianna esp, fine with the red scenario, but in so much pain with the sirens. I'm not quite sure if Crichton was carrying her in a very ladylike position though :lol:

I'm not quite sure how Crichton was able to work out the solution though, it seems very complicated to my, very unscientific brain.

I'm really getting the sense of mutual respect among the crew, and loved the end scene when they're all gathered around, sampling each other's food. Loved Crichton's biscuit ingredients description :lol: :lol:

I wasn't too surprised to see that this story was actually originally pitched to be a TNG story. It's similar to certain stories that Trek's done over the years, but different enough.

The highlight of the episode for me was not the primary story itself, but the closing scenes around the dining table, setting a familiar tone not too dissimilar to that of Firefly. And that ain't no bad thing :)

It its an enjoyable episode although not a favourite, very well done.

Yes I can see this too, its that kind of storyline though done as ever in the Farscape way where things are more unconfortable than normal shows. You do get the sense of the amount of pain they are in and of course love Rygel & Chi hysterics :)
