Crichton just jumped out of a space ship with a (gun, phaser, whatever) and survived long enough to climb into another ship. WITHOUT a space suit. That being said, it was a great ep.

We’re liking Farscape anyway. Good characters, some cool villians (are they or aren’t they?) and the ship is alive.

My favorite so far: If Six is a figment of Balthar’s imagination now, then how is she able to move his hair and clothes? Maybe it’s a blooper, but what if it isn’t? Now what? Where is he really? What’s really “real” here?

I won’t spoil Starbuck for you, if you haven’t seen the miniseries yet, but there’s a wealth of emotional territory in her to explore.

However, if you want something a little different, I’d say go with Farscape. John Crichton isn’t Jack, but he’s snarky and tragic at the same time. Plus, he’s just hot. (Although that’s not usually a requirement for you.) Other fun stuff: Aeryn discovers her humanity. Some cheesy aliens - and some not so cheesy. However, the one thing you personally might not like about it is that if there is a choice between logically explaining the science or going for the emotional impact, they always go for the emotional impact. The science often suffers. Still it’s a great show and you’ll get exposed to Ben Browder and Claudia Black, who will both be on SG1 next year.

After Farscape, I’d pick Battlestar Galactica. It’s only a 4-hour mini-series + 13 eps so far and it’s just a terrific show. So, so, so much better than the original. This show has wonderful, real characters, truly suspenseful stories, and lots of unanswered questions - the good kind of unanswered questions, that make you tune in for more. I’m loving it!
