'Crackers Don't Matter' and 'The Way We Weren't'. TWWW is a great character-focused episode while CDM is the funniest thing ever.

The great thing about Farscape is that when the writers are given absolute freedom on a script they give their all. Episodes like 'Crackers Don't Matter', 'Revenging Angel' and 'John Quixote' are the most inventive sci-fi I've ever seen and should be where sci-fi is heading. Instead we get Buffy rip-offs like Dark Angel. It seems like by losing Farscape we lost a whole load of hugely creative writers who dared do something different.
And there's always quality stuff to look forward to in Farscape. The only weak season was the first for obvious reasons, after that it's plain sailing.

I've got TV Zone's Farscape Special here and it basically mirrors what's been said here. Season 4 was weaker then season 3 mainly because David Kemper took over much of the writing and wanted to attract new viewers (one of Farscape's major weaknesses). The begining of season 4 was meant to reintroduce all the characters and storylines but that sort of got lost so those episodes aren't so great. Later on the episodes are much better.
And there is no season 5- Sci-Fi split up season 4 into two seasons of 11 episodes in order to fulfill their contract (the sneaky little bastards).

I saw on my Trek message board, that next week's TV guide, will have an annoucment that Farscape is returning in a four hour mini-series, which is supposed to wrap up all the loose ends from the last episodes.
I hope that it does happen.
<Edit>
I went to tvguide.com, they said in the article that Browder and Black will return, and the mini-series is set to start shooting in December, this year, for a release next year.
It will not likely appear on Sci-Fi, but either on another channel, or, in syndication.
Yes! That's what I'm talking 'bout!

Ok, calm down! I have no idea what you're talking about, with your "101" stuff. Are you asking for stuff that pisses us off? Then I'll have to go with that episode with Aeryn's mom. "The Choice", I think it was called(I'm not 100% on all the episode titles though).
Come on, Aeryn's mom turning up alive was a total retcon! Not to mention the whole episode was boring. Season 3 was such a great, emotional season. But this angsty episode fell flat. One of the worst episodes ever.
But if we're going for favorite episodes, Won't Get Fooled Again is probably the best hour of television I've ever seen. It made me laugh, it made me cry, and it launched one of my favorite plotlines/characters on the show--Harvey!
There were so many weird/disturbing scenes, that I feel like other scifi shows would have chickened out on. This is the episode that showed me that Farscape isn't your typical pantywaist scifi show.
Honorable mentions go to Into The Lion's Den, Dog With Two Bones, and the We're So Screwed trilogy(save for that ridiculous "fetal DNA" plot twist).

I think your referring to the BBC show 'Room 101' where celebrities are invited to discuss their pet hates and banish them to 'Room 101' (taken from 1984). Personally, I don't think I'd do away with anything in Farscape. I loved everything in it, even the bits that made no sense. And for the latest on the Farscape revival, go here

I guess i had this thread confused with that on another board.
I think I've figured out how the series ends. And Thats caused me to look at it in a different light. A less good one. But just in case Im wrong dont tell me.

Im not really on any. I've just seen them all in random order. I hav'nt figured out the end, but what may be a kind of twist.
It relates to how the hell an advanced human civilzation is existing and isnt anywhere near earth.

If you've seen the final episode of season 4, it has little to do with that. However, on the subject of Earth and the Peacekeepers... I have an interview with David Kemper back at home in which he hints at some of the elements from the planned fifth season. One would have been a link between the ancient civilisation, found at the archelogical dig in the first few episodes of season 4, with humans.
