Interview  |  Ricky Manning
Sex, death and destruction

Picture Would it be fair to say that the other writers do the sex and you deal out the death and destruction in Farscape?

No it wouldn't be fair. Oh you mean in the writing part?

Yes

I'd have to look at the episodes and see. It would be interesting, somebody should probably sit down and make a chart of whose episodes are the most this versus the most that.

It wouldn't really mean that much though because there's a lot of rewriting that goes on. The audience really doesn"t know, nor should it, how much each of us contributes to an episode, those that don't have our names on them. It's not as though we deal them out, saying, "OK, this episode has to be a Justin Monjo episode, so he gets to do it." To some extent yes, to some extent no, it's like "Well, Justin's free, so he's doing episode whatever, hope you like what you have to do in this part of the story Justin."

Certainly there are some episodes that we say, "Oh yeah, I want this one, or you can have this one," but other than that [not really]. And David always likes to do the season enders because he likes to end on such a happy note all the time.
