"Farscape," "Lava's a Many Splendored Thing" Quiz

Answer: She can go long periods without food

We already learned she can re-bond her flesh after "Crichton Kicks" when she lost her hand and reattached it. In the next episode, "Promises," we learn she can speak Pilot and Scarran. Here, Chiana complains about being hungry, and Sikozu says, "You ate only three solar days ago. How inefficient is your body?" Chiana responds with "How edible is yours?"

Answer: Fluffy

Starving and with no planet in sight but a lifeless barren one, Noranti spits out something and offers it to the others to eat. John looks at Rygel and says, "Give it to Mikey there, he'll eat anything." Rygel does and likes it, prompting John to say, "Hey, what do you know, Mikey likes it." This refers to the old Life cereal commercials. Later, he acts like Rygel is his dog, saying, "Little Bubba, you got caught in a trap?" He throws in his usual names, Sparky, Guido, and Buckwheat as well, but no Fluffy this time.

Answer: Tarkans

Everyone stops on the lifeless planet to get sick from Noranti's food, and Rygel finds a cave filled with treasure while he goes to "drop the kids off at the pool." Noranti says the markings on the cases are Tarkan and that they are freedom fighters who do great work, saving thousands of people with their efforts. But when Rygel sets off a booby trap that encases him in amber, the Tarkans show up shooting at them.

Answer: She can't cook, won't bathe, and is narcoleptic

While the "Tarkans" fire at them, Noranti insists they are good and wants to negotiate with them. John says she'll be shot and D'Argo says, "And that would be bad?" Before she can talk to them, however, she falls asleep, hard. John says, "This is unbelievable! What... can't cook, won't bathe, and now she's narcoleptic. She's a triple threat." He did say earlier when Noranti was going through the crates of medicine, "Oh great, another klepto."

Answer: Pompei

The leader of the so-called Tarkans orders one of his men to fire on some markings on a wall, which collapses said wall when lava and flame burst through, incinerating the soldier and trapping John, D'Argo and the sleeping Noranti with the lava rising toward them. John yells, "Somebody's doing the Pompei thing!" Pompei is the famous city that was destroyed by a volcanic eruption in 79A.D.

Answer: Lou Costello

Using Rygel's comm, Raa-Keel, the leader of the gang, asks who he's speaking to. John says, "Lou Costello, who's this?" John explains that they didn't intend to rob them, and that if they could get Rygel they would be on their way. Raa-Keel says he'll send an escort to bring them up to get Rygel and John tells D'Argo he doesn't trust him and that they'll bang the escort on the head with a rock and take their shield-belts, which protect them from pulse fire. D'Argo thinks it is a bad plan because the shield-belts will protect them even from rock, but John says, "Fire is thermal energy.

Thermal energy is like kinetic energy. Ergo, a rock will work. D'Argo responds with, "Okay, I just have one question. Who is Lou Costello?"

Answer: Smear his vomit on the controls

To operate D'Argo's ship you have to have Luxan DNA. Sikozu tells Chiana it wasn't very smart of D'Argo not to set up an override, then Chiana gets an idea and goes out to find the big pile of vomit D'Argo left behind. Chiana sticks her gloved hands in it and then operates the controls and eventually the two ladies manage to blow the cave open.

Answer: She does a strip tease

Noranti puts a mist in the air and when the grunts walk through it, they start to hallucinate. Noranti starts stripping for them and they see a beautiful alien stripping. While watching, D'Argo and John knock them out with rocks. Unfortunately for John and Big D, Noranti keeps stripping and they don't have the benefit of a hallucinogen.

Answer: Gomer Pyle, Tin Man, whoopie cushion, and Larry and Moe

John enters the cavern where Raa-Keel has Rygel with the two grunts he captured, imitating Gomer Pyle, saying the catch phrase, "Surprise, surprise, surprise." He then tells Raa-Keel, "Okay, here's the deal, Tin Man. You've got our whoopie cushion, we've got Larry and Moe here. What do you say to a simple trade?" Raa-Keel shoots the two grunts instead, prompting the main grunt to say, "Will you stop shooting my men?"

Answer: He jumps in the lava

John jumps in the lava! Using the shield-belt he got from the guards, John shoots himself in the little finger to activate the shield, which then protects him in the lava. Unfortunately, Raa-Keel is there too, and he knocks John's gun away as the two fight. Luckily, Chiana shows up and John yells at her to shoot him, keeping the shield belt active. Raa-Keel is eventually knocked on a booby trap and encased in amber and John grabs Rygel.
