VHS Movie Reviews of Farscape Season 1, Vol. 8 - Durka Returns/A Human Reaction [VHS]
Movie Review: Firing on all cylinders
Summary: 5 Stars
With these two excellent episodes, Farscape began a run of outstanding shows that would introduce many pivotal elements and characters that would figure prominently for the remainder of the series. Prior to these programs, it was still a very fine program, but here (and even more so with the next two episodes) it began to shows signs of the excellence that was still to come.
"Durka Returns" introduces Chiana (Gigi Edgely), a sexy, chalk-white love slave who is being transported back to her homeworld to pay for her "crimes." Her custodian's assistant just happens to be the very same Durka (David Wheeler) who once tortured Rygel. His mind has been wiped, making him docile and manageable, but Rygel is not impressed and resolves to revenge himself. His efforts have predictably disastrous results.
In "A Human Reaction," Moya encounters a wormhole that appears to lead back to Earth. Crichton (Ben Browder) takes the plunge and undergoes a mind-bending adventure that leaves him changed in a way that will impact his life for the rest of the series. The plot device used here is not a new one for SF fans, but seldom has it been done so well.
Summary of Farscape Season 1, Vol. 8 - Durka Returns/A Human Reaction [VHS]
"Durka Returns": When Moya nearly collides with another transport, Moya feels obligated to make repairs and brings the vessel aboard. Once docked, they find the ship carries a powerful race known as the Nebari---including a Nebari official, Salis, a Nebari criminal, Chiana, and Captain Selto Durka, the ex-Peacekeeper Commander responsible for the torture of Rygel. Durka has been mentally cleansed by the Nebari to remove all those thought processes deemed unacceptable, making him incapable of inappropriate behavior. Seeking revenge, Rygel attempts to kill Durka, but instead breaks the mind cleansing."A Human Reaction": Crichton finds a wormhole and returns to Earth. However, only his father, Major Jack Crichton, believes he is really his son. When Moya's Transport Pod blasts through, Crichton convinces the military not to shoot, but he can't prevent them from drugging and imprisoning Rygel, D'Argo and Aeryn. In horror, Rygel is killed and dissected. Aeryn escapes with Crichton and they steal away to a safe house where they give in to their long-standing passion. The next morning, with his father's help, Aeryn and Crichton plan an escape until he realizes that nothing is as it seems.
