I loved the backstory as well, and so far have resisted for find out about the ending. This will be my last Farscape experience ever, in all likelihood, and I want the surprises to continue.

You've got a point about Staleek not having become a brainwashed follower a la Jasmine near the end of I, but... how about a comparison with what the Nebari do? Mindcleansed Durka was eminently reasonable, too.

Rygel: was last seen saying "thank you" to John (for taking the baby out) before the rude ending of my viewing. Am looking forward to more of him!

Incidentally, one could see a thematic parallel between the Sebaceans being the descendants of the humans, and the Eidolons on the water planet being the descendents of the Eidolons on Annesk.
