Review: Farscape S1, E2 - I, E.T.

Farscape S1, E2 - I, E.T.

This episode explores the characters personalities more. It shows them fighting, yet it also shows that they have the ability to work together. The ship is forced to land upon a planet covered in bog to muffle a siren. To heal Moya, they must get a certain element called Chlorium, which can be found on this planet. Only problem is, there are aliens there that have not yet discovered aliens - and are very supersticious. In fact, this episodes seriously reminds me of X-Files.
Aeryn and Ka D'Argo learn to cooperate in this episode, fighting their fighting abilities together to reach a level battlefield. Sure they still exchange insult, but they are capable to work together.
Zhaan's ability of sharing pain becomes apparent in this episode, showing just one of her many talents that appear later on in the series.
Crichton becomes hopeful in this scene, as apparent when crash landing he states "It looks like Earth." Later on, you're encourage to think that he may be on earth by being introduced to the local alien population - they appear as humans, sound like humans, act like humans, and even drive and live like humans. It's only half way through the episode that the audience realises that they are not humans. I'll point out, that in this episode, they have to send Rygel through the little trap door since no other can fit. However in later episodes, even Ka D'Argo is quite easily capable of fitting through them.


Favourite Scenes and Phrases:
"I can't stop it, it feels like it's melting my brain. It isn't actually doing something to my brain is it?... I'll say its stopped. Why am I still twitching?" - Crichton, when the siren is blaring.

When Crichton is zapped, he becomes paralyzed. As he tries to move his arm, his hand falls and he is left exposing his middle finger to the audience.
