I agree, "What the frell?" is brilliant. I loved Farscape - well, up until the point when the two John's got seperated and then it got a bit silly.
I loved that part of farscape. I'm odd like that! I also loved it more when scorpios was in john's head....those images and the way it was done was just sheer brilliance, although I think Im the only person who thinks so.
