Disclaimer re: spoilers first - I haven‘t had the chance to watch the third season of Wynona Earp yet, so not only can I say nothing based on it, but I also ask you not to spoil me in any possible comments.

kernezelda asked me about this, the question triggered by her remembrance that John Crichton, once he‘s adapted enough to the Unchartered Territories to carry a gun all the time, nicknames it „Winona“. Now I suspect that due to Farscape being a 1990s show, this was John being a Winona Ryder fan, bless his geeky heart, but Wynona Earp, dark haired, hard-drinking, issue-ridden sarcastic gun wielding woman that she is, would totally be his type. If he met her pre-Aeryn, that is. Pre-show John, otoh, would probably be someone Wynona had a one night stand with, at best, but no relationship. (In that hypothetical timeline ignoring scenario where they meet as adults. If you use the actual timeline for both Farscape and Wynona Earp, Wynona was a child when astronaut John Crichton left Earth the first time.)
Otoh, if they were to meet during that time in Farscape‘s fourth season when Crichton and friends made it back to Earth for a while, and if this was, say, somewhere around s1 or s2 of Wynona Earp, we‘re talking about a darker, more broken version of John Crichton who also knows what it‘s like to be, well, not the Chosen One as much as The One With The Ring (i.e. knowledge in his head put there by a third party which everyone else is after and willing to commit any crime to get at). He‘s still geeky enough to dig having an Earp (with or without Doc Holiday in tow) to talk to, and despite being exclusively Aeryn-sexual at this point would at least be aware that Wynona is hot and his type. Conversely, this version of John Crichton would be messed up and issue-ridden enough for Wynona to be actually drawn to, though if it‘s s2 she might be most interested in whether or not his government connections could prevent Purgatory from being bombed and/or members of her team getting kidnapped by again. They‘re both too paranoid for good reason to really trust each other, of course, but if they get drunk together there might or might not be an comiserating about being stuck with a curse/wormhole knowledge respectively.
She‘d be amused by the gun called „Winona“, he‘d be in stitches once he finds out hers is called „Peacekeeper“. (He‘d probably wonder whether Scorpius qualifies as a Revenant, though, given his penchant to return from certain death.) (If I were to write a non-crack fanfiction, I‘d then have Wynona realize that Aeryn qualifies as a revenant - she did die and was brought back by unnatural means, courtesy of Zhaan. Cue angst! Especially since the similarities between Aeryn and Wynona would either cause them to bond or detest each other on sight.) Wynona being bound to Purgatory, which she tried to escape most of her life, is in a way the reverse of John desperately trying to get home for most of the show only to find Moya, his friends and space have become his home now, so there might be some talk about that, too. His constant pop culture references would drive her crazy, but Waverly might appreciate them. If we handwave the timeline so Farscape‘s fourth season takes place in the here and now rather than Wynona Earp‘s first two seasons taking place in 2002/3 or thereabouts, John might be gratified to find out from Waverly that Winona Ryder made a career come back and would insist on taking Stranger Things with him on dvd once the s4 Earth interlude is over.
Lastly, Noranti would be bound to make a cryptic remark about Wynona‘s future and/or give Doc some advice that would cause trouble for the future of the remaining Wynona Earp storyline. And someone from Purgatory would try to become a stoaway on Moya.
