[[WMG: Chiana has a sexual fetish for the elderly]]
There's definite innuendo about her past relationship with Altana in "Home on the Remains", she ends up flirting with Paroos in "A Prefect Murder" despite the fact that he looks like a cross between [[Series/FatherTed Father Jack]] and [[Series/DoctorWho Davros]], and she gets far too enthusiastic about posing as Noranti's lesbian partner in "Bringing Home the Beacon".

* That would result in multiple shows qualifying as parallel worlds connected to ''Farscape'', such as ''Series/{{Revolution}}'', ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'', ''Series/{{Sliders}}'', and so on.

**It might also be that the reader/listener perceives the microbe-translated languages slightly differently than naturally understood languages. This could be an in-universe explanation for why many aliens speak english with a few accents ... and why Crichton affects the accent, at first, when he impersonates the Peacekeepers; it's the accent he always hears from Sebaceans.

*** Humans in the far future will spread other lifeforms from our planet, and there will likely be genetic engineering, so maybe a combination of evolution and genetic engineering explains these things. (Breed a hardy plant that's aggressive for a hostile, barren planet, and maybe its eventually evolves into a sentient plant, who mimics the form of its predator.)

John and Chiana being trapped in it is entirely the result of John's mental instability, and in particular his survivor guilt over the people who've died thanks to getting mixed up with him. It's significant that Gilena turns up briefly for no reason in what's almost a re-enactment of her death, that the people who are most hostile to John in the game are Crais, who died to save him, and Stark, whose beloved Zhaan died because of him and Aeryn, and that his final escape from the game comes from a forgiveness-coded encounter with Zhaan.

Rule of Drama demands that Scorpy's dad be a character of narrative significance, rather than some anonymous grunt. Plus Staleek is relatively more tolerant of Scorpius than every other Scarran.

[[WMG: The standard units of measurements have a vulgar basis.]]

The only words we don't hear translated by the translator microbes are units of measurement (arn, microt, hetch), and vulgarities (meevonks, dren, frell). There ought to a reason for both. Perhaps like Earth's [[FantasticMeasurementSystem Smoot]] the units are based was based on a body or body part.

[[WMG: ''{{Fringe}}'' [[FridgeBrilliance takes place in the same universe]] as ''{{Farscape}}''.]]
* "Einstein," the extradimensional baldie in a nice suit, is an Observer!
* Further evidence: ''{{Farscape}}'' established that wormholes really, really can mess with the universe, and wormhole travel can lead to new "unrealized realities," parallel worlds spawned from imagination; this is rather like the degradation of the laws of physics (and resultant odd phenomena) that is occurring in both universes due to travel between them.

[[WMG: The space plant that attacked Moya in Natural Election was Zhaan]].
Moya was floating beside a wormhole when the space plant attacked and latched itself onto her surface. Zhaan, who was a plant, died in a wormhole. The space plant was a mutated form of Zhaan that locked onto Moya and attached itself to its surface. The plant has blue colouring, like Delvians, and although Zhaan would never harm Moya, it is already established that her spirit had moved on and so she is not responsible for the plants behaviour.

[[WMG: The executions involved in being "Irreversibly Contaminated" is to keep people from realizing how much Peacekeeper society sucks]]
A short stint with aliens is enough to serve as a death sentence even when they do everything they can to reunite with command. This probably means they don't want people to get new ideas. After all, Peacekeepers are forcibly trained from a young age, even bred for the military, and yet they consistently suck. Morale is probably a major concern, and the prospect of leaving for a less craptastic existence is on everyone's mind. So, Peacekeeper Command has to stamp out any and all seditious thought.

* Or, perhaps the Scarrans were the Eidolons' first attempt at creating a private military. Scarrans are strong, resistant to pulse fire, have heat beams, and can breed with many races, making them adaptable to most environments. Unfortunately, they went rogue, and the Eidolons started over with Sebaceans.
