Premiere

Astronaut John Crichton's Farscape module is swallowed by a wormhole and spat out on the other side of the universe -- in the middle of a pitched space battle. Taken on board Moya -- a huge bio-mechanoid living ship desperately trying to escape Peacekeeper captivity -- Crichton is confronted by alien life forms: Ka D'Argo, the fierce Luxan warrior; Rygel XVI, the slug like Dominar of the Hynerian Empire; and Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan, the serene blue priestess from the Planet Delvia. After they 'StarBurst' to freedom, a bewildered Crichton is locked in a cell with Officer Aeryn Sun, an enemy Peacekeeper. To repair Moya's battle damage, Zhaan, D'Argo and Rygel are forced to put down on a Commerce Planet on the edge of the Uncharted Territories. Left alone, Crichton and Aeryn manage to escape and over Crichton's protests, she contacts her commander, the ruthless Captain Crais. Crais has launched a personal vendetta against Crichton whose module collided with a Peacekeeper Prowler and killed its pilot - Crais' brother. But Aeryn's actions in helping to recapture the fugitives don't win her honor, instead Aeryn is deemed irreversibly contaminated and condemned to death. Crichton tricks the prison guards so D'Argo and a reluctant Aeryn can escape back to Moya. Unable to go into Starburst again so soon, Crichton adapts his experimental Farscape theory to slingshot Moya out of the range of Crais' ship and off into the Uncharted Territories.

John: "They haven't hurt us! How about we show them a little compassion?"
Aeryn: "Compassion... what is compassion?"
John: "Compassion? Wha... you're kidding right? It's a feeling you have when you see someone else's pain, and instead of taking advantage of their weakness you help them."
Aeryn: "I know this feeling."
John: "Yeah, well it is a fairly common human feeling."
Aeryn: "I hate it!"
