An escape has tragic consequences.

Written by David Kemper

This pulled off Farscape�s second greatest trick of making it impossible to imagine how the gang will get out of their predicament. Then it did its greatest trick of finding a way to resolve the story that was wasn�t a cop-out or a let-down.

It perhaps wasn�t as strong in how it handled its first major character exit as Zhaan really should have left some time ago: she has had progressively little to do since the first season. Also, it was odd how the gang ran completely out of time and yet then had a good five minutes for a speech by her.

That said, making her death be John�s fault and her willingness to die be Aeryn�s fault gave a tragic quality to Zhaan�s exit that could only have been improved if Stark had gone with her.
