Not only two episodes, but two non-consecutive episodes, which really baffles me.

Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Art Crawl!!!
Yeah, their production schedule for the first half of season 1 must have been insane.
In Farscape, Aeryn is a badass and Crichton is a geek.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Watching weekly, it's very interesting to see Crichton turn from freshly-scrubbed, albeit geeky, BMOC into a traumatized freak, thence into realpolitik. The color-coding is really obvious, when you're watching in a marathon: he puts on the black leather one day, just putting on a costume to play a role, and he never changes back into the khakis he wore aboard.
(And then he gets a bad haircut, but that is not directly indicative of his mental health, or anyway I hope not.)

If I only had a brain...

Is so. Every season after S1 he starts out insane and with bad hair. It's a thing.

He starts Season 3 unable to speak English, even.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I watched most of season one of Farscape, and I liked it, but honestly, all the talk about the POV character going insane has me worried that I should skip the rest. What I've seen of later seasons was too weird to believe, coming at it without context. I'm debating buying the DVDs so I don't have to wait for Netflix to deliver.

It's best seen in order; the buildup to crazy makes plenty of sense that way.

Okay, I trust you. At least, I've already seen the last episode, so I won't be totally heartbroken when I get there.

completely and totally. originally, i had tried to get into the series during season 3 or so and i hated it. i had no idea what was going on. then i had people i trusted(television-wise) singing its praises constantly. so i decided to give it another shot and start from the beginning and i wanted to do it before the mini aired in case i fell as in love with it as my friends.
i'm not sorry about that decision. i never expected to love it as much as i do. the transition of john from fish out of water to just...crazy is completely fluid and you can't really begrudge him his craziness.
