Bone to be Wild - S1-E21

Visible crew/equipment: After Aeryn activates the cannon on the Leviathan baby's exterior, when Aeryn says, "Pilot...please let me know if any Peacekeeper scans are imminent," as she walks away the camera follows her, and we can see a nice reflection of the cameraman/crew member at the right side of the screen. The reflection's briefly visible again when Chiana says, "The only weapon we've got is that kid."

Family Ties - S1-E22

Visible crew/equipment: After Rygel's transport pod returns to Moya, as the docking bay door slides open, in the shot facing everyone while they have their weapons drawn we can see the bare floor. However, when Aeryn checks Crais for hidden weapons and then as D'Argo approaches him, there's a blue crash mat on the floor. Then it vanishes again.

Family Ties - S1-E22

Visible crew/equipment: After the transport pod successfully ignites the moon, D'Argo and John are floating in space while Aeryn's in her Prowler, and just as we hear Pilot start to say, "The offspring Leviathan, Talyn, has broken from Moya's side," we can see the face of Rygel's puppeteer under the table, at the bottom right of the screen.

Mind the Baby - S2-E1

Visible crew/equipment: After Crais "humbly" accepts Talyn's offer of the Hand of Friendship, just as the metal tentacle rises up from below the floor before the neural transponder is embedded in Crais, we can see a crew member's hand holding the tentacle at the bottom of the screen.

Out of Their Minds - S2-E9

Visible crew/equipment: After Zhaan has taken control of the Halosian ship, when Zhaan's transmission appears on Moya's clamshell viewer, in the shots facing Rygel, John, and Aeryn (in each others' bodies) we can see the puppeteer, who's wearing a headset, with his right arm up in Rygel's sleeve. Fun to watch.

My Three Crichtons - S2-E10

Visible crew/equipment: When they listen to the sphere's signal to analyze it, in the shots of Rygel, D'Argo, and John, particularly when John asks, "What stopped?" just before the message that only the three Johns hear, we can see the brunette puppeteer with his arm up Rygel's sleeve, at the right side of the screen.

Beware of Dog - S2-E14

Visible crew/equipment: After John acts out what the word "shoot" means before he and Aeryn release the vorc, it cuts to the wiggly-eared vorc moving down a corridor while Aeryn and John follow behind him, and we can see a crew member's arm holding cables for the moving animatronic vorc, at the left side of the screen.

Beware of Dog - S2-E14

Visible crew/equipment: After Aeryn and John kill the parasitic Rygel and hundreds of little parasites, it cuts to the medlab where Rygel is explaining to D'Argo and Chiana what happened to him, and we can see the puppeteer's head behind Rygel. As an aside, earlier when Aeryn grabs parasitic Rygel off Zhaan and throws him, note that Zhaan's arm is under Rygel's robe to control his movements.

A Clockwork Nebari - S2-E18

Visible crew/equipment: After Meelak opens the door to Rygel's quarters and asks Crichton why he wants the Hynerian's help, Rygel betrays Chrichton and says, "I don't think the mind cleansing is working," and when John punches Rygel's face, in the close-up we can see the puppeteer's fingers beside Rygel, behind the table.

Liars, Guns and Money (1): A Not So Simple Plan - S2-E19

Visible crew/equipment: While Aeryn and John watch the monitors, when it cuts back to Scorpius et al walking in the corridor, just as Akkor says, "She'll be right with you. Please, understand," the camera spins around and the only thing in the hallway is the elevator security station with its round base behind Akkor. Then, when Braca delivers blows to Akkor and he collapses, there are two overhead shots and we can see the crew's equipment at the bottom of the screen.

Liars, Guns and Money (3): Plan B - S2-E21

Other mistake: After Scorpius has some of his twisted fun with Crichton, it then cuts to Pilot saying, "Crais, we are very thankful that you allowed Talyn to respond to her mother's distress call," but the problem is Pilot refers to Talyn as "her" instead of saying "his mother's." We know Talyn is Moya's male Leviathan offspring, and everyone always refers to Talyn as he/him/his. (00:08:05)

Season of Death (2) - S3-E1

Visible crew/equipment: After Chiana and Jothee lie to Rygel about a pot that exploded which caused the mess, it cuts to the room where Scorpius and his men are holed up while looking at a hologram map of the clinic, and in the first shot facing Grunchlk and Kobrin the boom mic dips into view at the top of the screen.

Season of Death (2) - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: When Aeryn fires D'Argo's Qualta blade at Plonek, it hits the Scarran multiple times on his left side creating a large bloody wound on his chest, and then John shoves the icicle into the right side of Plonek's chest. However, after Plonek pushes John to the ground, in the close-up the icicle is on Plonek's left side with no wound on his right, but when Plonek collapses the icicle is back on his right, and still the bloody wound is gone.

Show generally

Question: Why is John's Farscape-1 module able to navigate wormholes where some other, more sophisticated craft, notably Peacekeeper Prowlers, cannot without liquifying passengers?

Socks1000

Chosen answer: It's never explained. John mentions a theory that his less technologically developed craft simply interferes with the wormhole less than the "superior" Vipers, but they never make a concrete determination on that point. But we also have to take into account the fact that Moya traverses wormholes with no ill effect as well.
