What a great episode. I really enjoyed this episode for a number of reasons one being the amusing storyline but also because i thought that through the events of this episode we really begin to see the major charators bonding. This episode featured every chactor and envolved them with something. I think that more episodes need to be written like this. The story was simple but the charactor interaction was strong and well written, this will undoubtably remain in my mind as one of the best episodes of Farscape so far. This season is turing out to be great, we can only hope that the episodes stay at such a high quality.
"Crackers" is undoubtedly the finest combination of pop culture, Crichtonisms, and utter hilarity of the entire series. Though debatably the best episode of them all, it is undeniably the funniest. It is also a crucial episode in which the first substantial hint of the Scorpy clone present in John's brain. "I've got great eyes...they can see better than 20/20, and they're blue."
With ridiculous beginning, and some not so convincing lines. ‘Crackers Don’t Matter’ beginning as a failing episode and ending as a completely hilarious and excellent one is a big achievement.
The uniqueness of this episode is very rare. It begins on Moya, the crew members are acting a little touchy, especially Crichton. There is also someone on there who says that they will all change a bit when they go into a place but after that they will go back to normal.
Soon, fights begin. While Zhaan annoys everyone, Aeryn and Chiana fight. Soon Crichton and D’Argo join the fight.
The first fights are all over some crackers. Chiana is eating a lot of them and so is Rygel. D’Argo gets upset with Rygel and attacks him and makes him almost choke on them.
Soon they go their own way, while Zhaan acts around like a stoned blue-junkie. D’Argo and Chiana work together and think that Crichton and the others want to kill them. Meanwhile Aeryn and Rygel take their own way and want to take over Moya. Pilot is also changing, he is mostly just putting down Crichton and making sure he realise how useless he is.
Then soon Crichton who was holding everything right gets completely nuts as well, he begins to see Scorpius around who tells him to kill his friends. First he shoots D’Argo and then he attacks Chiana and wants to rape her. Then he goes to Aeryn and they tell each other what they really think of each other and shoot some more. But then Crichton realised it’s all crazy and he shoots Scorpius in his mind which head falls into a lot of more heads. Great scene.
But then Crichton gets pissed off and he captured all of his friends. He shoots some crackers on them and makes sure they get the point that they are loosing it. He wants to stop the real bad guy who is hiding somewhere and making Pilot give him light. They don’t want him to do it but eventually dress him up, he looked ridiculous but hilarious. So he goes and begins to destroy the alien’s place and then kills it. Crichton is then finally freed and so is the rest.
I loved how ashamed they all were and how they apologized. Lucky Zhaan who didn’t remember anything.
The episode was excellent, Crichton looked so ridiculously funny. The acting was very strong and the episode was very well reconstructed. Beginning in a lame way and ending up so powerfully.
‘Cracker’s Don’t Matter’ is another Farscape success.
the crew has very little time to get supplies with wanted posters of them up so all they can get are crackers and an alien who starts a process that makes them all start going mad so that he can destroy the universe. Pritty normal day for our heros
I love this episode. Everyone is loosing their minds and acting irrational and the only one vagly keeping their head on is John who has Scorpous's nero clone talking him saying things like we'll have pizza's and margarita shooters.
this also has them shooting at each other and John finaly gets them all together-by force and explains to them why crackers don't matter
all in all this is a good episode and a reason i love this series
In addition to great acting from everybody (especially Ben Browder, who\'s really been having a ball since \"Mind the Baby\", I loved the extended history of the characters shown. The good, the bad, and the ugly all come out.
Of course, the best part was Scorpius in a hawaiian shirt, but that's just me.
It was great to see all the characters fighting with each other. I mean it was very pleasant to be able to see the darker side of all of them. The acting was great, they really made you think they were angry and crazy. I loved the plot for this episode. Original to say the least.
The title of the episode is very creative and it really suits the episode.
My faorite part of the episode was the part that Aeryn said that their faith depended on John and that they were as good as dead, she said it in a very comic manner.
Ben Bowder (as always) was amazing in this episode. The part where he was going crazy was very well performed.
