    Crichton takes a ride in his module when he has an argument with some of the crew of Moya but as Crichton leaves Moya in his module Moya starbursts away leaving Crichton in the middle of nowhere....

    So Crichton is forced to take refuge on a planet that is very primative. So after three months D'Argo and Rygel come to the planet Crichton is on. Crichton wants nothing to do with them because he believes they left him, D'Argo explains thats Moya had to starburst because of her pregnacy.So eventually all of this is sorted out. The people on the planet worship Rygel as their God and finally the crew leave the planet and head back to Moya. Overall i think this was a great episode. It was very intresting and original more should be like it in the future.moreless

    'Jeremiah Crichton' is yet another excellent episode of Farscape with a great and adventurous feeling to it.

    It begins with John completely out of character and being pissed off at everyone without us watchers knowing why. He flies off but there is something about Moya that makes it jump and leave Crichton behind.

    Three months later John is in another world with a long beard and unable to leave. He thinks his friends left him behind but instead they are looing for him and Zhaan is the only one that wants to give up on him. D'Argo goes to one of the worlds together with Rygel.

    Y'know, even though it was an entertaining episode, the whole storyline seemed very unlikely. Rygel's ancestors were the ones who wrote some freaky religion that kept them in their world.

    Soon they all get in trouble because a girl who is inlove with Crichton is also admired by a young man whose mother is the priesteress and she knows all about the lies.

    Anyway, eventually Rygel is chosen as king and he reads their bible and realised that it his ancestors made up a false god.

    Eventually they find out that it was in fact Rygel that would free them with his hands and make the devise open and would bring energy bac to them and so they all return to their own life.

    This episode was very well done though it's simply a stand alone that everyone could have lived without. I understand why some people may not like it, but I think it's one of the best so far.

    • Crichton: So, you said we have much to discuss. Kato-Re: Yes. For instance, the impulsive flights of my daughter's heart. You see the way she comes alive when she looks at you? Crichton: When I look at her, I see a friend. Kato-Re: But if it should become more than that, you need to understand that... Crichton: Kato-Re, I deeply appreciate the way your people have welcomed me, but I chose to build my home away from the village because I do not want to interfere in your ways. Kato-Re: Amongst our people, it is the female who chooses which male she will mate with for life. It may be out of your hands, my dear Crichton. Edit
