    This was a really good episode, Moya brings abord two alien creatures who ship is blowing up. When abpard they tell the crew of the important work they are conducting on blackholes to win a war. The creature tells D'Argo that Luxans and there race fight side by side in this war, this imidiatly causes D'Argo to bond with them. Before long Crichon gets a vision if the female alien killing the crew but time resets and Crichon must slove the problem before anyone gets harmed, but the process continues over and over. A little like groundhog day in space.



    This overall was a fantastic episode yet again this episode bonds the charactors together and starts the series off to a great start, looking forward to seeing the next episode. This was wel written and gave us viewers a little more insite into the series.

    This episode has to been one of my favourite episodes from season 1. Moya rescues 2 Aliens from a ship, but not is all that it seems. The female of the 2 works her charms around the men of the crew, D’argo especially. We see D’argo’s soft side and a certain loyalty. Criton begins to see the future, which leads to a bit of confusion while watching but it doesn’t dampen the episode. This episode has been cleverly written, but it is reminiscent of a Star Trek the Next Generation episode in some aspects but not all. We find out more secrets about the characters and I got a great feeling when all had been resolved, even though the hot alien had gone. But a great Episode! A must see
  • Time, future and an Alien slut

    This is definitely the best episode so far, filled with a lot of creative scenes and just downright humor.



    This show is really unique, this episode makes sure of that.



    It’s about D’Argo meeting some people of his own kind, but the female isn’t what she looks like. She starts to seduce D’Argo and take him to her side and use him like a pet because she wants what the other guy is making and is planning on doing everything she can to have it.



    Meanwhile John touched something which gives him flashes of the future, he sees the woman seducing him and having sex with him. Later he stays seeing some less pleasant things when he and the rest get killed by the c*nt alien.



    The coolest scene ws probably the fight between Aeryn and her, what I didn’t get is why Aeryn didn’t die and they didn’t brought the fight up, which was a shame.



    So anyway, while John tells that to Zhaan, she gets flashes and drops a mask and the third time he stands on it (awesome moments)

    He tries to tell D’Argo but he doesn’t listen until John starts to talk about his real crime and then D’Argo believes him. The woman gets what she wanted eventually but when she tries to leave on her ship it explodes and she dies in it.



    This was definitely tv at it’s best, highly enjoyable and just simply great.

  • When the crew of Moya rescues a pair of Ilanics from a exploding ship, wedges are driven between the crew. With Crichton seeing the future and D'Argo infatuated with the female Ilanic, a host of trouble is just waiting to happen.

    I wasn't impressed with this episode. I was actually getting bored with the show, well up to the point where Crichton starts seeing events in the future, well at least ones that don't deal directly with sexual activities with Matala. Then the show became interesting. As he tried to peace together a plan to save everyone. While I have seen similar episodes on other shows, but I can't think of a Science Fiction show that lasted more than a season or two that did not eventually have an episode dealing with time dilation in one form or another. An interesting take on a genre staple.



    I have major question about Zhaan's blue mask. Crichton has most of his experiences with the future when he was holding it. Each time he broke it. After his last flash back, he laid it on the ground and stepped on it. Why? What was the point of doing thus?

  • Love the wierdness and confusion!

    This episode is confusing if you don't watch it carefully enough - but fantastic if you do. A definite sign of things to come when you get to season four. At this early stage they might not be travelling to different timelines through wormholes - they just are! (Or Crichton is after being zapped by a piece of black hole).



    I may be in a minority when I say I love episodes/films/books where confusing time travel happens but I do. This is particularly good as at the same time there is humour and development of D'Argo's character.



    So I say again a fantastic episode - though a bit confusing if you don't watch carefully. So watch through with no distractions and enjoy the wierd, humourous farscape episode in full.
