History Recap / FarscapeS01E01Premiere

* BeneathTheMask: When Zhaan introduces himself, the ferocious Luxan warrior becomes adorkable in her presence, shyly enquiring about Delvian sexual practices and stressing that he served in ''two'' battle campaigns when Zhaan teases him about being JustAKid. It shows a different side to the species that Aeryn dismisses as savage berserkers.

* ForWantOfANail: The Prowler piloted by Crais's brother barely clips the wingtip of ''Farscape One'', but it's enough to send him spinning out of control into an asteroid. If it weren't for that, despite their FantasticRacism the Peacekeepers would likely have helped Crichton, as Aeryn points out (after all, he's from a potential client planet and appears to have accidentally discovered a new means of interstellar travel).

* TakeAThirdOption: Crichton is able to grab a pistol off the guards, whereupon D'Argo and Aeryn both demand that he release him. Crichton has no reason to trust either of them, so he forces D'Argo to release ''him'', then gets D'Argo to agree to get him and Aeryn both off the planet.

-->'''Pilot:''' Yes. [[ServileSnarker We're someplace else.]] I'll...get back to you on the specifics.

* VerbalBusinessCard: Aeryn identifies herself as "Officer Aeryn Sun, Special Peacekeeper Commando, Icarion Company, Pleisar Regiment" and demands John provide his own rank and regiment. Rygel, being former royalty and proud of it, introduces himself to John thus: "I am Rygel the XVI, Dominar to over 600 billion people. I don't need to talk to you!"

* AlienSky: Crichton looks up at the {{Flying Car}}s and [[MegaCity megastructures]] of the commerce station and mutters, "I'm on another planet..." Then Aeryn turns up complaining about the [[FantasticallyIndifferent: "waste hole of a planet"]] they're stuck on.

* AlienSky: Crichton looks up at the {{Flying Car}}s and [[MegaCity megastructures]] of the commerce station and mutters, "I'm on another planet..."

* ImNotHungry: The escapees feed their prisoners because they need them alive for now for interrogation. Aeryn is a Peacekeeper, and they assume from the way Farscape One appeared out of nowhere that Crichton has access to superior technology they can use to escape. Aeryn eats because she knows they might not have another chance to do so and advises John to do the same, not knowing he's only reluctant because [[AlienLunch the food cubes look rather unappetising]].

* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: One of the guards searching Crichton finds the charm ring, gets too wrapped up in trying to solve the puzzle causing his companion to try and wrest it off him, enabling Crichton to snatch a gun off them.

** D'Argo announces he wants something to eat and opens the door to Aeryn and John's cell, so the latter's alarm. Turns out [[CantKillYouStillNeedYou they really do intend to feed them.]]
