In the second episode, in order to find a chemical to save their living ship, Moya, John lands on a planet where he meets a mother and her son - and finds himself as the alien from another planet.

Basically, salt! Still a preservative and flavoring, even on other planets. !

I think when most people consider "sci fi," they don't realise the other half of the coin: they are the alien in someone else's eyes, too.

Interesting.

True.

I think that this is a good episode.
What I can't figure out is why they moved the order and placed this one 4 in order..

pkgrl · 25th November 2001, 07:44 PM

Yeah, umlak... just umlak! A seasoning for these folks, but an anesthetic for Moya. Who knew pepper could pack such a punch? :lol:

And what's that about order? This was eppy #2 as far as I know. They didn't show it in that order where you are?

Loved the Star Wars references, too.

"Yoda. Green guy. He trained warriors." Now that Aeryn could understand.

:lol:

UsHi · 25th November 2001, 08:01 PM

no..

They first aired it like this..

1. Premiere
2. Throne For A Loss
3. Back, And Back and Back to the Future
4.I, E.T.

that is also the order on the region 2 dvd....

I don't think that she would have been suprised..

Texane · 28th November 2001, 07:33 AM

She did become accustomed to the Vork!

How come they could talk to him on the planet..?? How did they know his language??

pkgrl · 30th March 2003, 03:08 AM

Talk to whom?

Plethora · 30th March 2003, 03:03 PM

Critchon.. Its just that, in the first episode, critchon couldnt understand D'argo without the translator microbe dudes.. and so, how could the aliens on the planet understand him (critchin AND D'argo) if theyd never been injected with the translator dudes??..

I noticed this after watching a whole weekend of Farscape DVD's, best use of my time actually..

Damn... now i just seem like a geek..

(Btw, England just got the grandslam against Ireland.. not a good day for Rugby)

Every day is a good day for rugby, my friend.

RE: Crichton talking to the people on the planet, yeah that "problem" was discussed on the skiffy bboard back in 1999, and again in 2000, and again in 2001, just about every time someone thinks to bring up Translator Microbe Theory. (Notice it even has an official name.)

I think it was decided that, although they seem fairly primitive, these people may have been tampered with by the Sebaceans (or someone else with translator microbe technology) in the distant past. Remember, they not only managed to understand Crichton, but also Pilot and D'Argo. You'd pretty much have to have translator microbes if you want to understand Pilot's language... or English for that matter.

Does that help?
