This is always the point in my rewatch where I start to get antsy to get to "Unrealized Realities", the second half of this season is so much better than the first.

And so Farscape joins Buffy in dispatching the ultimate bad guy with a shoe stomp.

In a sad way, this episode kind of highlights the usefulness of WhatsHerNameOldLadyWithThreeEyesWhoIcan'tSimplyRememberEver. She's literally left adrift in space, referenced only for humor purposes, for most of the episode. It's as if the writers find her very useful for some things, but then admit that the crew of Moya is a little too large to be easily managed.

This episode could be re-titled, "One more exhibit in how awesome John Crichton is."

I think of this episode as "Farscape does Die Hard."

Agree that the after "Coup by Clam" the season gets waaay better.
