Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

While the Farscape crew barely maintains civility in the best of times, nothing in the series prepares the viewer for the devious and ruthless response they show when the DNA mad scientist offers them a way home in exchange for a sample of their DNA... and one of Pilot's arms. They warm up by hacking off Pilot's appendage in a savage amputation and then turn on each other when it becomes apparent that Moya can only get to one of their worlds.

"They've Got a Secret" is a rather misleading title, for the secret belongs to the living ship Moya, and the crew spends the entire episode trying to find out what it is. D'Argo yanks the wrong nerve in Moya's network and shoots through the ship's bowels like a kid on a water slide. He awakens in a delusion that has him reliving his tragic past and building up to a murderous rage directed squarely at Crichton yet again. --Sean Axmaker



Product Description

"DNA Mad Scientist": When a mysterious DNA researcher, Namtar, holds high the promise of helping Zhaan, D'Argo, and Rygel return to their home worlds, they will let nothing stand in their way. Caught up in their excitement, they begin to turn against each other, with no price seeming too great for the opportunity to go home. But how selfish will their sacrifices be…?

"They've Got a Secret": Trying to clear the ship of all Peacekeeper devices, D'Argo inadvertently causes an extremely strange reaction within Moya, at the same time driving himself into an inexplicable delirium. As D'Argo relives the painful events that led to him becoming a prisoner of the Peacekeepers, Moya's life support systems begin to shut down. Pilot falls unconscious, cutting off all hope of communication with Moya. The DRDs transform from mechanical servants to deadly protectors, attacking the crew with chilling resolve. As they race against time to correct the problem, the crew is in for a shocking surprise….

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Great! Set, August 2, 2001
By Wendy (Arizona, USA) - See all my reviews
I enjoyed these 2 episodes very much.I had seen ''DNA Mad scientist'' a couple months ago when it was on tv once again.It is such a wonderful episode where Aeryn wants to find a PK planet that will accept her so she goes to Namtar and he puts Pilot's DNA in her and she begins to transform into something else entirely.It is a great episode though John never leaves Aeryn's side and he helps her all the way.And ''They've got a secret'' is also a wonderful episode I never had seen it before I watched my dvd.It is about Moya's little secret that almost kills the crew along with D'Argo's secret that he reveals once he comes back from being thrown in space for a few microts(farscape word).We learn that he has a son named Jothee and he had a wife named Lo'Lann who is sebeacean.Both episodes are really worth getting the dvd for.Plus, you get a great little profile on Rygel! If you are Farscape fan you should buy this along with the other 4 dvd's which are also spectacular as well!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Farscape Character Development Episodes!, July 15, 2001
By Johnny B (Hermosa Beach, CA USA) - See all my reviews
"DNA Mad Scientist" is especially creepy & bizzare, but you really get to see a graphic illustration of just how dysfunctional this whole loopy crew really is, at Pilot's expense-- and Aeyryn gets the payback! In "They've Got A Secret", an event is triggered and family history is revealed that drive much of the plot into the third season. An essential ep for Scapers!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Show, bad planning..., February 21, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Farscape is one of the best sci-fi shows to ever land on the small screen. I love the characters, the settings, the plots, the science and the humor. But the DVDs cost too much, most have few extras by the time you past season one volume four and all are now used because nobody, to my knowledge, is making any new editions.
The sad part is that DNA Mad Scientist and They've Got A Secret are two of the better episodes, in which there is important character development for both D'Argo and ex-Peacekeeper Sun. Get it if you have the money to burn. Or wait, HA, for the time when it will become somewhat cheaper.
