Froon’s Farscape Watch, s1e07
“PK Tech Girl” (season 1, episode 7)

Froon’s Farscape Watch, s1e06
“Thank God It’s Friday… Again” (season 1, episode 6)
• Written by David Wilks, directed by Rowan Woods •
Another “Weird Planetary Society of the Week” ep, wherein Aeryn gets to do some science and D’Argo just gets some. Oh, and John contemplates his navel and Rygel saves the day by peeing.
Froon’s Farscape Watch, s1e05
“Back and Back and Back to the Future” (season 1, episode 5)
• Written by Babs Greyhosky, directed by Rowan Woods •
And — appropriately enough, on Ben Browder’s birthday — the Farscape Rewatch continues at last, with a twisty little ep full of weird-talking aliens! Continue reading “Froon’s Farscape Watch, s1e05”
Froon’s Farscape Watch, s1e04

• Written by me, directed by Pino Amenta •

Froon’s Farscape Watch, s1e03
“Exodus from Genesis” (season 1, episode 3)
• Written by Ro Hume, directed by Brian Henson •
This’ll be a truly fresh rewatch, because literally the only thing I remember offhand about this ep is “Kabuki Peacekeepers.” Roll it…
Froon’s Farscape Watch, s1e02
“I, E.T.” (season 1, episode 2)
• Written by Sally Lapiduss, directed by Pino Amenta •
And to forestall a bunch of “what is the ‘correct’ episode order?” questions: I’m calling this ep 2 because it was production number 10102, so I always thought of it as ep 2. Continue reading “Froon’s Farscape Watch, s1e02”
Froon’s Farscape Watch, s1e01
It’s 19 March, aka “Farscape Day”, and that strikes me as the perfect time to (finally) crack open the Blu-Rays and rewatch the series… something I haven’t done in, well, ever. I probably haven’t watched most of these eps since they first aired, so this should be… interesting. (Well, interesting to me, anyway.) Continue reading “Froon’s Farscape Watch, s1e01”
