Farscape/Recap/S01/E01 Premiere: Difference between revisions

Commander John Crichton, IASA astronaut and son of the legendary Jack Crichton, is conducting experiments on using the Earth's gravitational pull to slingshot ''Farscape One'', a spacefaring module of his own design, to incredibly high speeds and thereby pave the way for genuine interstellar travel. During the experiment, a wormhole opens that sucks up Crichton's module and spits him out in a completely different part of the galaxy, right in the middle of a space battle between Peacekeeper Prowlers and an escaping [[Living Ship|Leviathan transport]]. Crichton isn't fast enough to avoid a collision with a Prowler, killing its pilot, before being dragged onboard the Leviathan by its docking web.

 

 

While D'Argo, Zhaan and Rygel take one of Moya's transport pods down to a commerce planet to buy supplies, Crichton and Aeryn escape their cell and then escape Moya in Aeryn's Prowler, also to head down to the commerce planet. Once there, Aeryn sends a message to her former commanding officer, Captain Bialar Crais, who subsequently redirects his Command Carrier and makes his way to the commerce planet at best speed. When Crais arrives, his Peacekeeper soldiers manage to capture D'Argo and Crichton and he orders the latter's death: it transpires that the Peacekeeper pilot who was killed in the collision with Crichton's module was Crais' brother, and now Crais wants revenge. Aeryn defends Crichton, claiming that he's neither brave or skilled enough to have killed Crais' brother on purpose, and Crais has declared "irreversibly contaminated", making her as hated -- and wanted -- as the rest of the criminals who escaped on Moya.
