History Recap / FarscapeS04E11UnrealizedReality

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: "Are you afraid of this knowledge?"

** Doesn't work so well with Aeryn though.
--->'''Aeryn:''' Rank and regiment. Now. And ''how'' do you know my name?

--->''([[OffingTheMouth Aeryn snaps Crichton's neck]])''

* EvilCounterpart: One of the realities shows Crichton as a Peacekeeper officer and Sikozu as a spy for the Scarrans. When he tries to have her released, [[TheFarmerAndTheViper she seizes his pulse pistol and kills everyone in the room]], except PK-Crichton who uses Braca as a HumanShield.
-->'''Sikozu:''' [[FantasticRacism Weak species!]]
-->''(PK-Crichton guns her down with a smile on his face. SmashCut back to Einstein)''
-->'''Crichton:''' That's not me...that's not me...
-->'''Einstein:''' Whatever it was would be you, could be you.

* FantasyKeepsake: Crichton is denying the reality of the alternate reality he just saw, when he realises he's clutching hair from when he shoved Chianna-Aeryn away. However, Einstein says the reality would only have become real if he'd stayed in it.

* OutWithABang: Crichton finds himself in a reality where everyone's dead except for a bizarro Aeryn who looks like Chiana. With Moya in flames and no means of escape she tries to get Crichton to have sex so she can at least die doing something she likes. More freaked out than turned on, Crichton shoves her away with a BigNo and finds himself back with Einstein.

** Another scene has the alternate Chiana telling alternate D'Argo that he sucks as a captain even more than he did in bed.

-->"It gets worse, morons!"

--->'''[=JoolArgo=]:''' We're trapped?\\

-->'''[=RygAnti:=]''' [[AbandonShip Transport pod is loaded with supplies]], but there are Marauders waiting to shoot us down! We can't escape!
-->'''[=JoolArgo=]:''' We're trapped?\\
-->'''[=RygAnti:=]''' That's what “we can't escape” means! Go help Stark hyperventilate!
* VichyEarth: A reality shows an Earth conquered by the Scarrans, with John and Jack Crichton (the latter played by Wayne Pygram) as HalfHumanHybrids wearing [[BigBrotherIsWatchingYou monitoring cuffs]].
-->'''Scorpius-Jack:''' You remember what we were like [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld centuries before]] the Scarrans conquered us--weak genes, disease, death. I think our health and longevity [[TheEvilsOfFreeWill outweigh some personal freedoms]] don't you, son?
-->'''Scarran-John:''' No.
-->'''Scorpius-Jack:''' You never change. But you're young. I never told you this, but when I was young, I wanted to fly too. Space--a dream. But it wasn't to be. And it won't be for you either.
* WhamShot: At the end of the episode Crichton emerges from a wormhole and finds himself in orbit above Earth.
-->'''Crichton:''' [[DidNotSeeThatComing Whoops...]]

* TheSnarkKnight:

** As Einstein weakens, he tries to lecture Crichton on what he needs to know about wormhole travel. The lecture is echoed by TalkingHeads of Crichton's friends who have been appearing throughout the episode.

* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Well as comfortable as you can get standing on an iceberg talking with a well-dressed gentleman with [[BlackEyesOfEvil pitch-black eyes.]]
-->'''Crichton:''' Nice threads. [[{{Lampshading}} Helps to humanize you. Makes it easier for me to sympathize with your problems.]]

* YouKnowTooMuch: Einstein tells Crichton that he should kill him just for the knowledge he possesses alone. The only reason he doesn't--given the stakes--is because Einstein trusted the Ancient who originally entrusted Crichton with the wormhole knowledge.

--->'''Crichton:''' ...is relative.

* EurekaMoment: When Crichton first encounters Einstein, he keeps saying one word, "Time". Crichton keeps giving pat answers until he suddenly realises what Einstein is after. "Time." "...is relative."

* TheSnarkKnight: The first exchange between Einstein and Crichton goes thus:

--->'''Einstein:''' (Louder) ''Time...''
--->'''Crichton:''' (Singing) Rosemary and-

--->(He whips out his pulse pistol and fires--only to see the bolt stop just a few inches away from Einstein's face.)
--->'''Einstein:''' (Turning away) Time.
--->'''Crichton:''' (To himself) Either stop pointin' guns at people or get a bigger gun.

-->'''John:''' No offense Buckwheat, but you couldn't look after a Chia Pet. ''(dodges SpitefulSpit)''

--->'''John:''' What you should really ask, is [[LovingDetails how I know you've got a birthmark on the sweet spot of your hip?]]

* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Lampshaded by Crichton.

-->''(PK-Crichton guns her down with a smile on his face)''

* ButterflyOfDoom: Going backward in your timeline and [[GrandfatherParadox effecting events]] is more harmful than going forward in time thanks to this trope.

** The realities include flashbacks to the premiere episode when Crichton first met D'Argo, Zhaan, Rygel and Aeryn.

* TheChosenOne: Einstein tries to convince Crichton of this, and seems pleased when Crichton rejects it.
* ContinuityNod: The first reality Crichton visits is a recreation of [[Recap/FarscapeS01E01Premiere his arrival on Moya]].

* EvilCounterpart: One of the realities shows Crichton as a Peacekeeper officer and Sikozu as a spy for the Scarrans. When he tries to have her released she seizes his pulse pistol and guns down everyone in the room except PK-Crichton, who returns the favour with a smile on his face.

* EvilCounterpart: One of the realities shows Crichton as a Peacekeeper officer and Sikozu as a spy for the Scarrans. When he tries to have her released she seizes his pulse pistol and guns down everyone in the room except PK-Crichton who returns the favour with a smile on his face.

* EvilCounterpart: One of the realities shows Crichton as a Peacekeeper officer and Sikozu as a spy for the Scarrans.

* ItsALongStory: Crichton responds this way when Einstein asks him how he got his wormhole knowledge. Suddenly he experiences a flashback montage as Einstein examines his memories for the answer.

* TheNicknamer: Justified given that the being can't be bothered introducing himself, dismissing his name as unimportant to their discussion. As they are discussing the relativity of Time, Crichton dubs him [[UsefulNotes/AlbertEinstein Einstein]].
