"Rhapsody in Blue" takes Moya and her crew to a remote Delvian outpost, where the head priestess has lured Zhaan to help her keep her madness in check, or so she says. There's something more sinister going on in this power grab, and it has something to do with Zhaan's dark, criminal past. The crew is paralyzed in self-pity and Crichton is on the verge of an emotional breakdown, but Zhaan's torment as her past comes flooding back gives this episode its punch. --Sean Axmaker

Customer Reviews of Farscape Season 1, Vol. 6 - Till the Blood Runs Clear/Rhapsody in Blue
More good episodes In "Til the Blood Runs Clear," our heroes become involved with bounty hunters while having repairs made on Crichton's module. There is some good interaction between Crichton and D'Argo, and there are some characters and plot points introduced here that will pay off in a big way many episodes from now. In "Rhapsody in Blue," we meet a group of Delvian dissidents with an unscrupulous leader who is not above deceiving Zhaan and playing with the memories of the other Moya crewmembers in order to get what she wants. Two good solid episodes.
Two Great FARSCAPE Episodes
One of the things that the FARSCAPE tv series does so well is explore the boundaries of television science fiction and take on the task of giving their stories interesting turns and twists of both plot and characterisation. The sixth DVD disc of the first season is no exception to this rule.
The first episode on this disc is "Till the Blood Runs Clear." In the story, Crichton and Aeryn, while out researching wormholes, are forced to land on the desert world of Dam-Ba-Da, and seek the help of the mechanic Furlow to repair Farscape 1. They discover that there are warning beacons out on the characters now, and Crichton and Aeryn are forced to pretend to be a pair of bounty hunters when they encounter two Vorcarians, seeking the rewards for the fugitives. Complicating matters are Zhaan's reaction to the solar flares in the area, and D'Argo's impatience with Crichton and his arrival on the planet - only to be captured by the bounty hunters, and putting Crichton in a dangerous position. This is a terrific episode that focuses on Crichton and Aeryn, and leads to some interesting revelations as Crichton and D'Argo come to a mutual understanding about their relationship. The extras here provide some interesting depth to the characters, and make some of the storyline a bit clearer. One terrific episode, that owes a lot to some of the sf movies that have been out there for a while.
"Rhapsody in Blue", the second offering on the DVD, is a story in which the strange dreams about past loves that Moya's crew have, coupled with Moya's own Starbursting in response to another pregnant Leviathan, leads the crew into the clutches of a group of renegade Delvians led by one Tahleen. She wants to learn the secrets that Zhaan possesses that prevent Zhaan from succumbing to her "dark impulses," but when Zhaan offers to show her the means in Unty, a Delvian form of joining of two spirits/souls, Tahleen takes the extra step and *steals* the knowledge from Zhaan. With the rest of the crew being disrupted by the other Delvians' manipulating their worst fears and desires, it's up to Crichton to show Zhaan the path back to her loveable self. A superb episode that sheds light on the Delvian Seek, on Zhaan's crime, and on the love of John Crichton's life. It has some interesting ramifications for the future, and sees several changes in the personalities of Moya's crew. The extra footage here enhances elements of the "Delvian experience", but isn't a necessity.
Like the previous DVDs in the series, the sixth DVD of FARSCAPE's first season has the commercials ads at the beginning... but the episodes presented and the sheer quality of both sound and picture are abso-frelling superb. While the extras on this DVD are once more pretty skimpy - presenting a Profile on Moya, Pilot, and the folks who bring these beings to life - the reason for the lack of extras on the last few DVDs has been explained as a licensing problem (one that has been cleared up, and will see other features once more, such as the commentary versions of the episodes on the DVDs, on them from the eleventh DVD on). That doesn't mitigate the cost of the DVDs however, as these are quite expensive, but FARSCAPE is a series well worth owning on DVD. Overall, "Till the Blood Runs Clear" and "Rhapsody in Blue" are terrific episodes of FARSCAPE that emphasize the true boundaries to which sf can be pushed, but the lack of extras make the DVDs not necessarily everyone's cup of tea.
STAR TREK Of THE FUTURE
Finally we have a Science Fiction show for the future. I enjoy how all the character seem to melt together. They are all easy to watch. The story line is simple and does not try to convince you that it is all possible. I also like the fact that each one of the characters have a weakness and the others back that characters weakness with a strength. I hope this show last for another 10 years.
