History Farscape / TropesHToN

* HasTwoMommies: Inverted with Rygel, who ends carrying Aeryn's baby for a while. ..This is the part where we elaborate how it happened, but it honestly [[ItMakesSenseInContext defies explanation]].

* {{Malaproper}}: Aeryn, whose attempts to use Earth slang in casual conversation are less than successful.
-->'''Aeryn:''' "[[AccidentalInnuendo She gives me a woody.]]" (John gives her a look.) "Woody. It's a human saying, I've heard you say it often. When you don't trust someone or they make you nervous, they give you--"
-->'''Crichton:''' "Willies! She gives you...the ''willies''."

* HotScientist: Male example: John Crichton from Farscape, especially after he starts wearing black and red leather in Season 2 onward. Mmmm...[[MrFanservice spacepants]]!
** Female examples would include Jool and Sikozu, the latter of which has an encyclopedic knowledge of all things Leviathan-related, although to be fair she may have been [[spoiler:programmed that way]].

* DeathOfAChild: "...Different Destinations" [[DownerEnding ends with]] the [[spoiler:mass murder of an ''entire nunnery'', including the eight-year-old novices]].
** And in "Prayer," a Scarran officer aboard a research vessel disposed of a test subject's unborn child by using his heat-projection to fry it alive inside the womb. And the holographic display also shows the fetus writhing and shrivelling in the heat. However as the mother turns out to be [[TheMole a mole]], it's very probable they faked it to scare Aeryn.
** Played absurdly straight with Aeryn's fetus, which survives [[spoiler: getting diced into potpourri (along with his parents), indigested into Rygel's stomachs (yes, ''plural''), reassembled, and re-inserted back into Aeryn's womb]]. '''[[DeusExMachina Science]]!'''

* InTheFutureWeStillHaveRoombas: The [=DRDs=].

* NerdsSpeakKlingon: John is not your typical HollywoodNerd but he is still a brilliant engineer and astrophysicist, and in "[[Recap/FarscapeS04E01CrichtonKicks Crichton Kicks]]" he shouts some Klingon at the aliens attacking the ship.

* IAteWhat: In season 3, Jool was given fellip urine as as a very strange form of anesthesia for an arrow wound. Because of the intoxicating effects of the painkiller, Jool is too amused to be horrified... until later. It gets played for laughs, however, and eventually leads to [[BreakTheHaughty breaking her haughtiness]].

* HumanMomNonhumanDad: Jothee and [[spoiler:Scorpius]]. Inverted with [[spoiler: D'Argo Sun-Crichton and Katralla's daughter Katrana]] with a human dad and HumanAlien mom.

* HybridsAreACrapshoot: Scorpius is an experimentally produced hybrid of Sebacean and Scarrans. He is a Genius Bruiser, but suffers from assorted painful health problems from the conflicts between his ancestral species - the worst is that he is unable to control his own body temperature and is in danger of dying from heatstroke whenever he exerts himself. As a result he has to wear a scary-looking coolant suit, which includes a heat sink that is driven through the side of his skull and into his cranial cavity.

* HybridPower: Inverted with Scorpius, the offspring of a Sebacean and a Scarran, whose heritage combines to basically give him a WeaksauceWeakness. He inherited both the Scarran bodily trait of massive internal heat generation, and the Sebacean inability to regulate body temperature easily--requiring him to use cooling rods inserted in his head to survive, which created a certain vulnerability. Other than that, he was quite badass, however, both physically and mentally.
** His hybrid physiology does allow him to see the heat signatures given off by others which allows him to A) distinguish species and B) tell when someone is lying.

* HowDoIShotWeb: A funny variant occurs in the BodySwap episode, in which Rygel (the tiny frog-like Napoleon) is occupying John Crichton's body when he finds himself needing to urinate. John (in Aeryn's body, no less) leads him through the steps, but when it comes to zipping up... well, it's a more intricate procedure than one would think.

** Br'Nee briefly shrinks Zhaan to size compatible with one of his test beakers.
** When the crew is shrunk in "I Shrink, Therefore I Am", Sikozu immediately starts listing all the reasons why this is impossible: their brains should be too simple to function, and they shouldn't be able to breathe normal-sized air molecules - until Rygel tells her to just [[AcceptableBreaksFromReality shut up and accept that the impossible has happened.]]

** Maldis combines this with LaughablyEvil, chewing the scenery with a ravenous enthusiasm that would make [[StarWars Emperor Palpatine]] proud.

* IncredibleShrinkingMan: Br'Nee briefly shrinks Zhaan to size compatible with one of his test beakers.
** When the crew is shrunk in "I Shrink, Therefore I Am", Sikozu immediately starts listing all the reasons why this is impossible: their brains should be too simple to function, and they shouldn't be able to breathe normal-sized air molecules - until Rygel tells her to just [[MST3Kmantra shut up and accept that the impossible has happened.]]

* MST3KMantra:[[invoked]] Lampshaded in one episode where the crew gets shrunk after Sikozu complains about how implausible the whole situation is. Rygel gives her a speech that boils down to "doesn't matter if it's impossible, it happened, deal with it."

* NotSoDifferent:

* InfantImmortality: "...Different Destinations" [[DownerEnding ends with]] the [[spoiler:mass murder of an ''entire nunnery'', including the eight-year-old novices]].

* NegativeSpaceWedgie

* NoPaperFuture

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Crais in season 1, and Scorpius, Grayza, Staleek, Akhna, and Maldis pretty much any time.

* MissingMom

* MonsterOfTheWeek

* MST3KMantra:[[invoked]] Lampshaded in one episode where the crew gets shrunk after Sikozu complains about how implausible the whole situation is.

* MentalFusion

* MauveShirt: Officer, no, Lieutenant, wait, ''Captain'' Miklo Braca, officer of the Fleet, Peacekeeper Interplanetary Service. A "consummate Peacekeeper." He seems to be the only Peacekeeper who ever gets promoted over the whole series.

-->'''Rygel: I am '''nobody's''' puppet!

* KissKissSlap

** [[spoiler:Durka]] in the “Liars, Guns, and Money” trilogy, who had survived countless almost certainly fatal situations, is finally killed by Rygel and promptly decapitated and has his head carried around on a stick for the rest of the three-parter.

* IndyPloy: The gang's favoured form of ThePlan. Every time they ''try'' ASimplePlan or a ZanyScheme, it inevitably goes wrong. By the end of the series they've become highly skilled at XanatosSpeedChess -- TaughtByExperience.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Is Scorpius a ManipulativeBastard who [[MindRape mind-rapes]] a series of people, turns 9,999 slaves over to a sadistic mobster out of sheer apathy, and either directly killed or engineered the deaths of a couple of Crichton's dearest friends simply because they were in the way ? Yes to all. But time proves him absolutely right about the danger posed by the Scarran Empire. Even Crichton would rather see wormhole technology in his hands than in Staleek's.

** [[spoiler:Talyn and Crais]], whose HeroicSacrifise completely obliterate them.

* IKnowYouAreinTheresomewhereFight: Well, dogfight. The Scorpius neural clone in John's head takes control, and tries to reach Scorpius in John's module to complete its mission of returning with the wormhole data. Aeryn pursues in her Prowler, trying to talk John back into control or force the module down relatively safely. After exchanging words, Aeryn orders Scorpius!John to land. He [[ExactWords complies]] -- [[spoiler:By smashing into Aeryn's cockpit with his landing gear, sending her to death in the icy lake below]].
