Coup By Clam - S4-E10

Visible crew/equipment: At the start, while everyone's eating the buffet in the maintenance bay, after Pilot says, "Moya has not had peaceful rest since we entered the Tormented Space," the head of Rygel's puppeteer is visible at the left side of the screen.

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.

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."

Jeremiah Crichton - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: When Lishala gives John the map of the sky she asks him where his home world is, and John picks up a very small stone, but in the closeup he's holding a much larger stone in his hand, then in the wide shot it's small again before he throws it.

The Flax - S1-E12

Visible crew/equipment: Near the start, while Rygel's annoying Zhaan and D'Argo by banging the noisy Y-rod against the Tadek board, when Rygel says, "It may be preferable to this mind-numbing tedium," the wavy dark hair of the puppeteer can be seen behind Rygel. Then later, when Zhaan says that she will strive to keep Kcrackic distracted, as Rygel's smoking the hookah we can see the movement of the puppeteer's arm under Rygel's robe.

PK Tech Girl - S1-E5

Visible crew/equipment: Aboard the Zelbinion, when Aeryn and John question Gilina about how the Zelbinion died, after Gilina says, "Officer Sun, I think you should know, I consider you a traitor...," when it cuts to Rygel in his hoverchair with his flashlight in hand, there's puppeteer movement behind him. Later, after Zhaan tells Rygel to find Durka's corpse because it'll set him free, when Rygel's back aboard the Zelbinion, although he's just remembering being in a cage in front of Durka, it's interesting to note that we can see the puppeteer's movement behind Rygel.

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.

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.

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.

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.
