Farscape Season 3, Vol. 4

Rating:
Summary: Which is worse? Swallowed by a Budong or Rider possession?
Review: We all know how big of a headache John Crichton has been for Moya's crew since he arrived in the "Farscape" universe, so now we get to see how much fun twin Crichtons can be as the major story arc for Season 3 starts playing out in earnest on Volume 4, which offers up episodes 8 and 9 (really, those are the ones you will find on this particular DVD):

"Green Eyed Monster" (Written by Ben Browder, First Aired June 22, 2001) finds an interesting metaphor for the jealousy that is consuming the two Crichtons when Talyn is swallowed by a gargantuan space creature called a Budong (think what happened to the "Millennium Falcon" in "The Empire Strikes Back"). The plan is to simply let the ship go through the creature's digestive system until Stark explains what a Budong's stomach is really like and they decide that they need to find another way out. Meanwhile, Crais' neural connection to Talyn goes bad, so he asks Aeryn to help him control the hybrid gunship. (4 Wormholes)

"Losing Time" (Written by Justin Monjo, June 29, 2001) finds that if Pilot cannot get away from Moya to get into trouble, trouble will find Pilot. After Moya passes through a magnetic cluster, Crichton starts experiencing blackouts and sudden nose bleeds. Everyone thinks Crichton has just been pushing himself too hard looking for those wormholes, but then it turns out he has not been alone in experiencing time loss. A DRD recording shows them what has been happening to them, but when they turn to Pilot they discover he has been possessed by a strange energy rider who announces they must prepare to face judgment. Apparently another energy rider, who is evil, has possessed one of Moya's crew and will do so until the host dies. Thus begins our thrilling game of rider, rider, who has the rider. (4 Wormholes)

Neither of these "Farscape" episodes is classic, but they are solid Season 3 stories and also includes Ben Browder's first script for the show (apparently he had more time to write scripts once his character was cloned).
