Sooner or later, strange poisonous molluscs were going to factor into Farscape . Naturally, they also force physical connexions between pairs of crewmembers, too. Season Four, Episode Ten: Coup by Clam Though they're more like squid than clams. It's hilarious when Crichton (Ben Browder) gets annoyed by the "technobabble" explanation in this episode but it is kind of funny, the idea of a mollusc that must be eaten by a single person or everyone who eats from it will share physical symptoms, pain, or pleasure. This means poor Aeryn (Claudia Black) farts every time Rygel (Jonathan Hardy) does (which is often) and Cricthon feels Sikozu's (Raelee Hill) pain. Maybe the worst off is D'Argo (Anthony Simcoe), though, who experiences Noranti's (Melissa Jaffer) orgasm at a very awkward moment. This kind of thing never happened to Worf. You'd think it would undercut his efforts to interrogate the long nosed doctor (Barry Otto) who tricked them into eating the mollusc. After a season with many episodes that felt more typical of other shows, it's nice to see this one with a uniquely Farscape -ish predicament. I also like that Crichton and Rygel team up in drag at the end, instead of the usual Crichton and D'Argo, to rescue Aeryn and Sikozu. Crichton in drag looks a bit like Val Kilmer in Willow . . . .
