Farscape [1-15]: Durka Returns: Rygel's worst nightmare walks onto Moya, along with a new member for the crew. This one fascinated me because I'd seen pictures of Chiana before, but this was the first time I saw her in action. An interesting story that leaves some questions unanswered, including the important question that Crichton asks Chiana right at the very end. There was also the disturbing aspect of mind control and memory alteration in this one.

Farscape [1-16]: A Human Reaction: So John goes home... or does he? I wasn't sure if it was real or not, despite the certainty that he wasn't going to stay home. The end result was good. Not excellent, but quite good. The way John figures out what he hasn't seen before is pretty funny. Overall, quite excellent.

Farscape [1-17]: Through the Looking Glass: This one was really cool. The multi-color, multi-problemed alternate Moyas was sweet. I liked how D'Argo counted once John showed him how. Another nice touch was the pure "Mad Hatter Tea Party" feel of both the opening and the closing. Combined with the title of the episode and the ways that John moved through the various places, it all fit together very nicely. I also liked the references back to Aeryn's melding with Pilot. I really liked this one.

Farscape [1-18]: A Bug's Life: An intelligent virus. Not something you want to mess with, but it's very natural who ends up messing with it. In most ways this one was fairly predictable. There were a few little twists, but it wasn't anything special.
