Season Two of Farscape takes off where Season One left us, with Crichton, Aeryn and D'argo stranded while Scorpius is hunting them down and Crais is trying to control Moya's offspring, Talyn. There are lots of hyjinks invovled as they attempt to keep out of Scorpius' and the Peacekeepers hands, the various way that the crew comes up with are at times rather fun and ingenious, though one may well end up resulting in a marriage... The episode "Crackers Don't Matter" is lots of fun and I had a great time watching that particular episode.
The characters are still deeply flawed, there's no huge change in their personalities (unless cause by outside sources they can't control, and they go back to semi-normal afterwards), so the characters we came to know and love from the first season are still just as crazy, kooky and full of attitude. The characters are all well written, though I would have been happy with a little less of Scorpius, there is still enough in here that he isn't the main focus of the season and there is still lots to enjoy outside of the storylines that involve him. If you enjoyed the first season of Farscape then you are sure to enjoy season two.
Random listing from 'Entertainment'...
"There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call The Twilight Zone."
Settle in for 36 episodes where nothing is as it seems, the strange is normal and where anything can happen.
