But you handled yourself well. 

I did, didn’t I? 

Beat him at his own game! 

You just compared yourself to a Peacekeeper.

1x15 - Durka Returns

I make fun of Farscape's use of fog machines a lot (I know it was the 90s and there were budget constraints but I stg sometimes it's like the sfx team just went to party city with $250 and a dream and said 'alright, let's make some magic'), but credit where credit's due: this fog looked DAMN good.

CHIANA CHIANA CHIANA CHIANA

[frellcast]

It's Episode 115 and Chiana's finally here! Farscape Friends Monica, Erin, and special guest Nikita (@shamblebot) run through "Durka Returns" with stops at Rygel's PTSD, the moral relativism of greyscale, and how the space gang line up on a Dungeons & Dragons character sheet.

In this episode:

A People's History of the United States

🎵 What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger 🎵

If you’re not well-versed in D&D character classes, Wikipedia is weirdly comprehensive

Skinner Box

Geoffrey Rose’s Prevention Paradox is one of the core principles underlying social epidemiology 

"Hold the door” on Game of Thrones (spoilers!)

I was typing up a reply to your most recent post (who killed Salis?), but it was getting too long so I'll just send it to you like this. Despite my MANY Farscape rewatches I'm still not sure who I think it was, but I wanted to bring up a pretty interesting theory that Nicola from The Scaper Chronicles had: It was actually Zhaan who did it. 1/3

She’s very clearly disgusted when she says “The Nebari practice mind control?” early in the episode and while Durka and Chiana both have motive to kill Salis, so does Zhaan. To her violating someone else’s mind like that is one of the worst things you can do. She could have seen killing Salis as the right thing to do. And we know she has a dark side that she was reintroduced to very recently. 2/3

Nicola had more arguments but I can’t remember them right now as it’s been a long while since I listened to that episode. At the very least it’s a cool idea and I though you might find it interesting. 3/3

–

This is a really interesting theory - I tried to track down the episode, but couldn’t find it.  I think one of the reasons it’s intriguing for me is how the Nebari mind control comes right on the heels of Zhaan’s issues with the same in Rhapsody in Blue.  

I think Zhaan’s unevenness over the past few episodes would lend some credibility - she’s been on edge for a while now and this would possibly tip her over.  

Interesting idea!
