* IdiotBall: ''Farscape One,'' Aeryn's Prowler and Moya's transport pods all have their own independent life support systems and thus should be perfectly comfortable. This seems like the obvious way to cool Aeryn down and yet it is never once suggested nor is it stated that the bugs have somehow prevented this option.

Added DiffLines:

* OurClonesAreDifferent: Moya is infested by a hive of insect-like Draks that begin producing clones of the crew so that they can keep the ship at the ideal temperature for the Drak Monarch to breed. These clones are born from cocoons as fully-clothed adults, and though they can easily adapt their bodies to cancel out Crichton's ImpostorExposingTest, they [[SilentAntagonist can't speak]]. Plus, while they can fight just as effectively as their targets, [[MadeOfPlasticine it's very easy to rip their limbs off]] -- revealing that they have gelatinous blue gunk instead of blood. On the upside, they are very easy to create in bulk, giving [[EnemyMine both the crew and the Draks]] an advantage when Peacekeepers invade Moya.

* FishOutOfWater: Crichton is still struggling to adapt to his new, extremely alien, environment where even simple things like how to open doors are confusing to him.



* KickTheSonOfABitch: Aeryn doesn't think anyone will be bothered if a Peacekeeper dies. When called on this, D'Argo points out they've no reason to like them but he is, in fact, doing everything possible.

* SpotTheImposter: Subverted; Crichton puts a spot of orange paint on everyone's hand, but the clones simply copy the mark once they see it (it's just as well they didn't use D'Argo's suggestion of cutting off the tip of their little finger). Fortunately, the replicants can't talk...only it turns out they can do that as well when a replicant Zhaan attacks them. But then Crichton stops D'Argo killing her, realising it's Zhaan being controlled by Monarch.
* StarfishAliens: The Monarch; we only see vague glimpses of her, but it's clear that she's big, insectoid, and very hard to describe.

* ThereWasADoor: Pilot is outraged when D'Argo, frustrated on the inability of the laser saw to cut through the blue gunk the Drak have used to seal their nest, starts cutting into Moya's bulkhead instead, without warning them first. He gets through only to find another bulkhead beyond that.

* SpareAMessenger: D'Argo wants to kill the PK squad, now helpless from heat delirium, but Crichton tells them to get on their Marauder and tell Crais he don't know what he's messin' with. D'Argo is skeptical as to [[RevengeBeforeReason whether Crais will be deterred]], even if he does believe the tall tale of a squad of grunts suffering from heat delirium that Crichton can clone himself. Crais never brings the matter up in later episodes, so it's clear that he didn't.
