I liked DNA Mad Scientist.

It was shocking to see what lengths the crew would go to in order to get what they want, and how they were completely oblivious to what was going on with Aeryn. I'm still not sure they even knew or cared after the crystal broke - all they could think about was how they're only hope of getting home was ruined.

Just when we think everybody is getting along, the writers remind us just how selfish and inconsiderate the gang could be. Then they turn around and show us the sensitive side with D'Argo's "apology" at the end.

"DNA Mad Scientist" is one of my favorites, too. The scene at the end with D'Argo and Pilot is one of my favorites of the entire series. I also loved the scenes with Aeryn and Crichton where she's telling about how she's never been on her own and later when she's telling him what she felt from her transformation.

"They've Got a Secret" is another one of my favorites. It partly focused on the character that I've always found to be the most interesting of the series--Moya, their living ship. I really loved the part where John talks to her through the DRD, something which is repeated in "Family Ties" and "Losing Time". Having stories where she's involved really enforces the fact that she is alive and a character like the others.

Won't Get Fooled Again
Premiere Episode
Nerve
The Flax

One of my favorites is Crackers Don't Matter. I love how tripped out the characters where (although you could say that about almost every episode)! I remember the scene where D'argo crammed some crackers down Rigel's throat- it made you feel enormous sympathy for the Dominar. I was always blown away by how wonderfully the animatronic puppets were brought to life. You could actually see the sadness in Rigel's face. Amazing!

^^Yes, Crackers Don't Matter is one of those episodes I have watched over and over and over and over and over ...

Well, you get the idea. It's such a fun episode with a twist at the end where everybody realizes what they did and how they said things that really hurt somebody else they cared about.

Was it John who said there were some things you can't take back, or some things you wish you could take back? You could really tell his and Aeryn's exchange earlier in the episode was tearing them both apart.

Lucky Zhaan, she was the only one who had nothing to apologize for!!

Aeryn's "are you having problems, little man" speech runs through my mind everytime I think about this ep.

Spoilered for S2 arc ...

I agree. "Crackers Don't Matter" was, without a doubt, one of the best of the series.

The best part for me, I think, has always been when they're putting all that stuff on John.

To answer your question, John, in the last scene, asked Zhaan how do they take it all back? And, she replies, "I don't know."

That and he's the defficient one.

I am currently re-watching season I, so I will give you my favorite episode picks for what I have watched so far....

Premiere
Back and Back and Back to the Future
PK Tech Girl
A Human Reaction
A Bug's Life
Nerve
Born to be Wild

Anyone want to discuss these episodes in detail, there fresh on my mind.

**Trek_Girl42** · 27 August 2007, 01:27 PM

A Human Reaction still remains my favourite episode so far- that scene at the end with Crichton and the aliens was fantastic with the music and the blinking lights and change of camera angles. And such a beautiful story- I love the scene where Aeryn looks up at the rain and sticks out her tongue and says "rain" like a child would.

**MFA** · 27 August 2007, 03:53 PM

A Human Reaction was one of the better S1 episodes. I like the rain scene with Aeryn as well. You would've thought Aeryn would have seen rain, but guess not. She's learning what she missed out on with her peacekeeper training and how John is opening new doors to her.

Back and Back and Back to the Future ... aah, now that was a strange episode. One of the first "black t-shirt" episodes? or was "Exodus from Genesis" considered a black t-shirt episode? I can't remember, been a little while since I watched those two. (The eps were dubbed black t-shirt by the writers/producers because when JC wore his black t-shirt, it was said to expect a strange, off-the-wall episode.) I think this was only in early S1 episodes, as the Black T was common place before too long. But then, so were the strange episodes.

I just finished watching "I, E.T." and though I know it's not a favorite among many, I've always enjoyed it. The visual effects and scenes where Moya is landing and taking off from the planet are some of my favorites.

Also, John had not lost his innocent boyhood wonder and it really showed in this episode. Especially in the way he related to the young boy. He even convinced D'Argo to shake the boy's hand ... "he doesn't bite" ... I don't think D'Argo was happy with John at that moment, but at least he was civil. (I wonder now if that scene was for the boy's sake or just to aggravate D'Argo, or a little bit of both?)

And there's something to be said about a show that has antennas, even though they were nowhere near what I'd like to have in my backyard.

That scene at the end is one of favorites as well--throughout the series. Like when I first saw Pilot, the first word that went through my mind when "Jack" showed what he really looked like was "Cool alien."
