I like how he starts off kind of normal, but because everything around him is so far removed from his previous reality on Earth he starts losing it slowly at first and then more rapidly to the point where his worst enemy lives in his head and he plays chess with himself
Its actually a good coping mechanism to laugh at everything and just mock how crazy it all is. And John uses what others say against them later on. The line "unique is always valuable." Something he later uses when robbing a bank, he tells the guard "Ever hear of K.F.C? It is, to my knowledge, unique. And unique is always valuable."
Saw this as a kid, bits of the start and the memory came back to me like 5yrs ago...rewatched it coutnless times since. No story telling, composition, acting, characters, and lore, really comes close. You forget the animatronics and puppeteering, the practical effects just become real... the way they used Crichton's uniwuie human perspective to introduce, react and relate to this far vast universe. Exploring the landscape...
He's only acting to fool Braca, he's starting to admit it at the end of this vid I think... anyway, nut or not (XD), he's still the coolest sci-fi hero ever and Browder's the best actor in the world!!!
farscape transcripts: My sex life! Kill my sex life! Now! Quick! Shoot! Just shoot! (by now Braca is completely psyched out and doesn't know what to do. John takes advantage of his discombobulation to push hard on the gun, sending it and Braca sprawling. He mutters "Pussy" as he then walks over to the console near ro-NA and starts pressing buttons. The Jakensh now makes a move towards him and John spins about, holding his finger to his throat as if it were a gun and says in a gangster voice-)
What I like about John Crichton pis he may be different from Sensations, He always comes up with good plans, sometimes they work in his favor even if it makes him look insane while he does it..
Well, I think he honestly cracked at that scene, he's done it before and it would make sense considering the chip in his head along with everything he's been through....I mean going back to the chair etc.
he basically tried to un-alive himself. He challenges Bracka to shoot him in every vital organ and it doesnt work, so he arms the weapons forcing the royal army to open fire and even then, he doesn't get un-alived. Afterwards, when you see John, he has this face of "all I wanted, was a quick end, and you bastards saved me!?!?"

I'd say his reality is suspect from the point he first steps foot on the bridge of Moya.
@@KelsaRavenlock Yeah but insanity doesn't happen overnight...
He's constantly surrounded by alien insanity, so he fights back with Earth insanity!

I mean he also had a thing in his brain that was frelling with him. Thank you Scorpi
I love the genuine terror in her eyes when he pulls off the blazing saddles reference
"You're Insane"
"I thought That was common knowledge"
LOL i love this show
Not sure which is better "kill my sex life" or or the Blazing Saddles reference.
"Nobody move or the white boy gets it!" XD
So Crichton knows blazing saddles. I like it.
Still the best moment in sci fi history. I look forward to the inevitable Farscape reboot some day. Sooner rather than later!
Crichton is at his best when he's at his craziest
Farscape scenes are somehow better out of context.
He had to snap, or he'd have died being that far from home.

yeah couple of episodes in you totally just buy the jim henson puppets as characters not puppets. Credit to the writing and puppeteers.
That 'little squealy thing' is Ben Browder's wife IRL.
Can't help but wonder what was going through her mind as they were filming
that slam thou
Just one of 4 roles she played on the show, the most notable being War Minister Ahkna.
Also the Peacekeeper leader with the heavy makeup but otherwise gorgeous woman.
0:51 John: "Fine, let's do it then! Let's do this thing! Come on shoot me!"
As Daffy Duck: "I'm an elk! Shoot me, it's elk season!"
He's only acting to fool Braca, he's starting to admit it at the end of this vid I think...
anyway, nut or not (XD), he's still the coolest sci-fi hero ever and Browder's the best actor in the world!!!
"Kill my sex life" lol

thank all the gods for John and farscape.
the Blazzing Saddles reference though at 1:23, come on.
