We review a couple of dark episodes on the day before Halloween, which is fitting we guess.

First up &#8212; &#8220;&#8230;Different Destinations&#8221;. Where the crew accidentally go back in time and try to set right what they messed up by trying to make sure they didn&#8217;t mess history up. But this isn&#8217;t your typical time travel episode where things all turn out the same or better in the end. Afterall, this is Farscape we&#8217;re talking about.

Finally the really dark episode, &#8220;Eat Me&#8221;. Farscape&#8217;s survival horror episode. Where the crew fend off cannibalistic pseudo-zombies and a mad scientist on a diseased and dying Leviathan. And where the ending leaves the crew seeing double&#8230; double Crichtons.

738: Braaaaaains! (Farscape S3E05-06)

We have our first two parter of season 3 already. And it&#8217;s not a happy, fun time for our wayward crew.

First up &#8212; &#8220;Self-Inflicted Wounds (Part 1): Could&#8217;a, Would&#8217;a, Should&#8217;a&#8221;. While on their way to a planet that can help Zhaan heal, Moya runs across a wormhole. Before anyone can do anything, a ship comes out of it and materializes part way inside Moya. The crews of both ships work on ways to separate themselves, but it seems the aliens on the other ship have ulterior motives. And we meet our newest crewmember - Jool.

Finally in &#8220;Self-Inflicted Wounds (Part 2): Wait for the Wheel&#8221;, we learn that the aliens are sabotaging Moya so their ship can be the only one to escape the wormhole. Our crew must put their differences of opinions and desires aside to save them all before the aliens&#8217; plans are realized. And one of our crew makes the ultimate sacrifice.

737: Scream Queen (Farscape S3E03-04)

Eric and Jason are back after an extended time away, some of which was out of their control. They jump into the beginning of season three &#8212; which now has new opening theme music, &#8220;new&#8221; cast members and a new narration.

First up, the exciting conclusion to the end of season two, &#8220;Season of Death&#8221;. That&#8217;s the name of the episode, not the name of the last season&#8230; Does Aeryn come back to life? Does Crichton get his head back together, both literally and psychologically? Does Rygel really like what Chiana&#8217;s cooking?

Then we wrap up with &#8220;Suns and Lovers&#8221;. Where we hopefully put the whole D&#8217;Argo / Chiana / Jothee love triangle behind us, never to be spoken of again. And not just because the crew is trapped on a disabled space station about to be destroyed by a mysterious wave of energy soon approaching. Can they find the source of the signal attracting the wave in time? Can they saved the trapped children and themselves? And can Aeryn and Crichton finally find some &#8220;alone time&#8221;?

736: Where Art Thou, Farscape? (Farscape S3E01-02)

Eric and Jason close out season two of Farscape with a pair of episodes reviews and then the season two review, lowlights and highlights.

First up, &#8220;Liars, Guns and Money (Part 3): Plan B&#8221;. Instead of using their newly obtained mercenaries to rescue D&#8217;Argo&#8217;s son, now they&#8217;re off to rescue Crichton from Scorpius&#8217; clutches. But don&#8217;t worry, Stark has another foolproof plan&#8230; ah, frell that, it&#8217;s time for a guns blazing, frontal assault! They manage to rescue Crichton, but at what cost?

Finally, &#8220;Die Me, Dichotomy&#8221;, the (mostly) exciting season two cliffhanger. The crew locates a healer who can both heal Moya and get the neural chip out of Crichton&#8217;s head. But the chip isn&#8217;t having any of that and does its best to get itself, and Crichton, back to Scorpius. And then some other things happen that we&#8217;d like to forget about, before the exciting cliffhanger ending that sets up season three.

735: Chekhov's Halitosis (Farscape S2E21-22)

Eric and Jason review the first two parts of Farscape&#8217;s second ever three part storyline, &#8220;Liars, Guns and Money&#8221;. And during all that, wander off on tangents about Star Wars, the A-Team and past episodes of this here podcast.

First up, &#8220;Part 1 - A Not So Simple Plan&#8221;. Which is pretty much as advertised. Stark (hey, isn&#8217;t he dead?) has a not so simple plan to steal enough money to buy D&#8217;Argo&#8217;s son Jothee from the slavers holding him captive. With such a complicated plan, it goes off without any issues at all. No&#8230; who are we kidding? Of course not. The crew must deal with a heavily secured depository, its leader, and our old buddy Scorpius to get what they need.

Finally, &#8220;Part 2 - With Friends Like These&#8230;&#8221;. After learning that all their efforts last time weren&#8217;t quite good enough, this time it&#8217;s Crichton who comes up with his own somewhat simpler plan to free Jothee. But it involves recruiting several people we met in season one who they didn&#8217;t leave on the best of terms with. It goes better than you&#8217;d expect, but there&#8217;s yet another complication that might make their hard work all for naught. And Crichton has to make a hard choice&#8230;
