"Farscape," "Bad Timing" Trivia Quiz

Answer: Quantum Leap

John calls Sikozu "Miss Britannica" when questioning her on what kind of Scarran ship is heading for the wormhole to Earth. Later he calls her Goldilocks when she insists he trust Scorpius. He tells her, "Goldilocks - it's a bad choice. When you figure that out, call our 1-800 number for counseling." And lastly he refers to Braca, who intercepted the Scarran message about Earth, and the Peacekeeper Carrier he's on as "The Queen Mary."

Answer: Dear John

John puts a bomb around Scorpius with the words "Dear John" written on it and sticks him and Sikozu in an airlock. D'Argo informs Braca "Here's the deal: we've attached a bomb to Scorpius and we're leaving. Follow us, and the bomb explodes. Once we've gone, the bomb will shut down. Couldn't be simpler. Don't bother responding. We're not listening." He signs off and John sends Scorpius and Sikozu out the airlock and they use extended starburst to try and beat the Scarrans to the wormhole and destroy it, saving Earth.

Answer: Noranti

Scorpius, back on the Command Carrier with Sikozu, tells Braca, "Next time we encounter Crichton, see to it that the older cook is brought aboard, unharmed." He goes on to tell Braca that "I believe that our reluctant human may soon return of his own volition." I don't know if it was ever explained why Scorpius wanted Noranti and why he believed John would come back of his own volition (my guess is he means Harvey would make him come back). I'm guessing it was something that would have been explored in the fifth season had there been one. Noranti was trying awful hard to get John to take a herb to help him recall wormhole knowledge, so maybe she was working with Scorpius in some way. If anyone knows anything about this possible subplot, please let me know.

Answer: Bunny suits

John is leaving a message for his dad and Earth when Harvey pulls him inside for a talk, and John and Harvey are both in bunny outfits and end up fighting. Harvey says, "Curious holiday, Easter. Religious leader dies - comes back from the dead - and you end up celebrating like this!" Harvey convinces John to go to Scorpius for help because he does not want to reside in a brain that blames itself for Earth's destruction, since John's plan to burst the wormhole is astronomically impossible and will most likely fail.

Answer: Rygel

John tells Pilot, "A wormhole is a disturbance in space-time. Immediately before it opens a pressure bubble forms. You can't see it - but it's there." Pilot tells John he can see it. The bubble starts tiny and expands out, when the bubble bursts, the wormhole opens. John's plan is to fly in a the last moment and pierce the bubble, thus destroying the wormhole. To do that he has to hit the bubble just right and needs the best pilot for the job - Pilot.

The only way to do that is to remove Pilot from Moya briefly and have him fly the transport pod into the bubble. Pilot refuses, but Rygel comes to him, saying he should do it. Pilot says, "Would you?" Rygel says, "No.

But I'm not you."

Answer: John says "Good-bye"

John calls his dad from the moon to say good-bye before going to destroy the wormhole. John says, "Tell Susan and Liv that I love 'em. And I'll contact you if I can. Tell everyone." Jack: "I will, son. You tell my grandkids about me." John: "That's a no-brainer.

They gotta know who my hero is. Jack:"You're gonna find when you have your own, you want 'em to pass you. Be better. Climb higher. I guess if that's the measure - I'm the greatest dad on Earth." John says, "I love you, dad." And Jack says, "You're the heart and soul of my life, son. I love you." John softly says, "Good-bye" and hangs up while his dad below stares up at the moon, knowing he will never see his son again.

Answer: True

Chiana used her time slowing abilities to memorize the sequences of Pilot's controls so they could fly Moya while Pilot was separated from her. Her powers make her go blind, and this time she doesn't regain her sight.

Answer: It goes in the water

John says a year ago they let a coin make a decision for them and he flips another one, telling her to call it. Aeryn says "Not again." The coin lands in the water and Aeryn tells John that she's pregnant and that the baby is his. John is happy and asks Aeryn to marry him, putting a ring on her finger.

Answer: John must be sick

Chiana, still blind, gets a play by play from D'Argo and Rygel, who can't hear what's going on with John and Aeryn on the boat. As John flips off the universe and yells loudly "FRELL YOU! WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BAABBBYYY!" D'Argo says, "Now John seems very, very angry." Then John gets on his knees to propose to Aeryn, and Rygel tells Chiana, "I think he's hurt himself." When they tell Chiana that John is putting a ring on Aeryn's finger, she tells them, "You frellnicks! Didn't you watch any of those - thosethosethose Earth movies? Crichton just proposed!" Rygel, oblivious, says, "Proposed what?" When Chiana tells him marriage, Rygel says "Marriage? (Directed at John) Idiot!"

Answer: Nooooo!

John and Aeryn kiss as a ship flies toward them with a strange alien inside whose face splits open to reveal stalks with eyes inside. D'Argo comms them to hurry and get inside Moya, but there is no time. Aeryn looks at John and says, "You and your timing." John smiles, then looks serious and says, "I love you." They kiss and the pilot sweeps low and fires. D'Argo, saying the last line of the series, screams in uncontrollable grief, shouting "Nooooo!" John and Aeryn are crystallized, and they break into a million little pieces.

The final image is of the boat, covered in colorful crystals, and Aeryn's ring sitting on the top of a pile of crystals, then the words "To Be Continued" roll up...
