Well, they all just swapped bodies a couple of times. I was hoping for a bit more awkward moments with radically different bodies, but they still managed to do some pretty funny stuff. (Okay, yes, I had to replay the peeing scene. Sometimes I get to be twelve.) I loved Ben Browder playing Rygel-inna-Crichton. He looks like he found the whole Farscape gig wildly entertaining, actually.
I like that everyone has a dark side, too. "The Way We Weren't" had some excellent explorations of that (Velorek's "I am compassionate! Oh, and after I torture you for your own good, you should experience some slight discomfort FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE" was effectively creepy), and with every Zhaan episode I start expecting her to finally schism and start her own Smeagol/Gollum routine. I think they handle that aspect of self-struggle better than Star Trek.
My sister saw the first episode--she's not a CRAZY SPACE ADVENTURES fan, but she is a Jim Henson fan, so I had to show her the OMGPUPPETS. (She would not believe my claims that the giant space cockroach was adorable until I showed her.) We have decided that the giant three-jawed monster Rygel was bargaining with is the best one-shot character ever, and that after a hard day's selling it goes to a cozy-mystery book club and knits seven-armed orange sweaters for its nieces and nephews between sips of Decaf Earl Grey. Cthulhu is its bridge partner.
