  • August 20, 1999
  • 48 min

John Crichton has been through a lot since being flung through a wormhole into uncharted space. He's battled alien creatures, fallen in love, and even been cloned. But in Farscape: Season 1 Episode 16 - A Human Reaction, he faces perhaps his greatest challenge yet: returning home.

The episode opens with Crichton, his fellow escaped prisoner Aeryn Sun, and his ship's motley crew battling a strange alien race known as the Halosians. As they make a run for it, Crichton gets sucked back through a wormhole - but this time, it leads him home.

As he crash lands on Earth, Crichton is ecstatic to see his old friends and family again. But things quickly take a dark turn as he learns that he was presumed dead and that his arrival has sparked an international incident. The government interrogates him about his time in space, and he struggles to convince them that he's telling the truth.

Over the course of the episode, Crichton must navigate the treacherous waters of his old life, facing off against old enemies and trying to reconnect with his estranged father. Meanwhile, his former crew tries to track him down and rescue him from the hands of the government.

A Human Reaction is an intense, emotional episode that explores the complex relationships between family, government, and morality. It's a departure from the show's usual sci-fi hijinks, but it's a welcome change of pace that showcases the show's strong writing and acting.

Fans of Farscape will appreciate the deepening of Crichton's character, as well as the exploration of the human side of the show's universe. Those new to the show may find this episode a bit confusing, as it draws heavily on the show's mythology and character dynamics. But for those willing to invest the time, A Human Reaction is a rewarding, thought-provoking episode that sets the stage for the rest of the series.
