History Recap / FarscapeS02E15WontGetFooledAgain

* EvilSoundsDeep: Gary Ragel speaks in a stereotypical CampGay voice until Crichton's NoJustNoReaction, whereupon Gary's switches to his deep D'Argo voice to reply menacingly, "Oh ''[[DoubleStandardRapeMaleOnMale yes.]]"''

* AllMenArePerverts: Crichton finds himself handcuffed to a gurney while Zhaan, Chiana and Aeryn (dressed in {{Sexy Whatever Outfit}}s) run their hands over him and offer to fulfil his fantasies.

* AllDrummersAreAnimals: Or in this case, Pilot and Scorpius.

** Crichton whether to call the mental clone [[Film/ItsAWonderfulLife Clarence]] or Theatre/{{Harvey}}. He decides on the latter.

* OedipusComplex: Crichton's mother appears in lingerie asking him to define it for her.

** Crichton tells Gary-D'Argo that this is all an alien experiment to see how he reacts, so he's going to beat it by not reacting to anything. Then he reacts to the sight of Scorpius and Pilot are playing the drums, and a NaughtyByNight Aeryn-Fairchild who starts making out with Gary-D'Argo.

* MyCard: The new project director, already has his own cards done up. Crichton is shown flicking through the cards and throwing them in Logan's face until he gets pissed. "Quit it with the cards!"

** Especially to Crichton's [[Recap/FarscapeS01E16AHumanReaction first encounter with the Ancients]], although he also references [[Recap/FarscapeS01E08ThatOldBlackMagic Maldis]] and [[Recap/FarscapeS01E12RhapsodyInBlue "Tahleen and her wacky bunch"]]. Additionally, Crichton remembers what happens [[ExplosiveOverclocking when you let a Peacekeeper gun overcharge]].

** When Fairchild tells Crichton there's someone new to see him, Crichton has a BringIt reaction...until his BackFromTheDead mother walks in.

* YouCantGoHomeAgain: Crichton admits that he misses Moya and his strange-looking alien friends even on this fake Earth. His own mother calls him out on having become a callous killer.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Crichton complains about how hot it is. Turns out his body is reacting to the head of the Scarran who's interrogating him.

* HisNameIs: Harvey has to vanish just before he's about to tell Crichton how to defeat his Scarran captive. Fortunately Crichton works it out himself.
* HopeSpot: When Aeryn busts into the club and shoots the disco ball, seemingly freeing Crichton. But then she insists that it was Scorpius instead of the Scarrans that was holding John and wants to know what Scorpius wanted him for. [[DreamWithinADream Crichton realises he's still being interrogated]] and refuses to answer.
* HospitalHottie: Aeryn as Dr. Bettina Fairchild. Even before things get ''really'' weird, she's [[NaughtyByNight quite the kinky minx]], making out with [[ReallyGetsAround Gary-D'Argo and Jessica-Chiana]]. Crichton likes her WildHair as well.

** Harvey tells Crichton that a Scarran's skin is so tough that a pulse pistol will not penetrate it, which is why the Scarran hasn't even bothered to remove Wynona from Crichton's holster. The only solution is to AttackItsWeakPoint.
** When he really starts to lose it, Crichton snatches a Glock off Officer Muldoon and starts shooting his companions. The bullets shatter objects on the wall behind while the intended targets don't even notice they've been shot.

* INeedAFreakingDrink: Crichton has no problem accepting Gary Ragel's invitation to have a beer.

* MindScrew: A MindScrew used as a torture device to make the contents of the mind easier to read.

** Even by ''Farscape'' standards, this episode has an extreme case, shifting from kinky sex jokes and slash fic parodies to Crichton being reduced to tears after being confronted with his memories of his dying mother, or a DK with [[DrivenToSuicide blood pouring from his wrists]], shouting at Crichton for getting him fired and driving him crazy with his antics.

* MyCard: Logan-Rygel, the new project director, already has his own cards done up. Crichton is shown flicking through the cards and throwing them in Logan's face until he gets pissed. "Quit it with the cards!"

* OldShame: When Leslie Crichton turns up, his son walks out on her as his real mother died years ago. However she turns up [[INeedAFreakingDrink at the bar he goes to]], now dying of cancer and begging his son not to leave her to die alone, implying this is something John Crichton feels guilty about.

* ReadingYourRights: A screwy version from Crais in a cop's uniform (known as Officer Muldoon in this fantasy).

'''Muldoon:''' THEN I CAN'T ARREST YOU! ''(slams car door into John's face)''
* ReflectiveEyes: When Crichton collapses in the bar, a reflection of Scorpius is shown in Crichton's eye to foreshadow TheReveal about the neural clone in his head.

* SanitySlippage: The end goal of the MindRape, to leave Crichton's mind such a smashed mess that he can't withhold the information his interrogator wants. During a conversation with "Doctor Kaminsky" he wonders if it's already happened, and that the events of this episode are just his hallucinations after finally snapping from the stresses of life on Moya.
* SecondhandSmoke: Rygel turns up puffing on a big cigar like any human CorruptCorporateExecutive would. Crichton takes the cigar off him and starts blowing smoke back in "Sparky's" face.

** When Crichton decides between calling the mental clone [[Film/ItsAWonderfulLife Clarence]] or Theatre/{{Harvey}}.
** The title, to Music/TheWho song. The song gets a Shout Out during the episode as well: when Crichton meets Douglas Logan, he quips, "Meet the new boss! Not the same as the old boss!"

** When Crichton thinks he's worked out what Scorpius' play is, he muses, "The play...the plays the thing..." in reference to ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}''.

** Crichton tells Gary-D'Argo that this is all an alien experiment to see how he reacts, but he's not going to react to anything. Then he realises that Scorpius and Pilot are playing the drums, and a NaughtyByNight Aeryn-Fairchild turns up and starts making out with Gary-D'Argo.

* VillainousRescue: Harvey ends up allowing Crichton to break out of it, but not for altruistic reasons, as the wormhole knowledge Scorpius wants can't be retrieved if Crichton's mind turns to mush. He also, of course, doesn't want the Scarrans to learn about and acquire the wormhole knowledge.

* WondrousLadiesRoom: One of the first things Crichton does to check this "Earth" is stick his head into the ladies' room to make sure it's real this time. He finds a perfectly normal bathroom with a woman telling him to get out.

* EvilSoundsDeep: Gary Ragel speaks in a stereotypical CampGay voice until Crichton's NoJustNoReaction, whereupon Gary's switches to his deep D'Argo voice to reply menacingly, "Oh ''[[DoubleStandardRapeMaleOnMale yes.]]''."

* ComicSutra + SexyWhateverOutfit: Crichton is [[ChainedToABed cuffed to a hospital gurney]] and the three main female characters ([[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments and Rygel in a gimp suit]]) appear and offer to fulfill his sexual fantasies.

* BizarroEpisode: Even for ''Farscape'', this one was surreal. Granted, that was the villain's plan InUniverse.

* EasilyForgiven: After Crichton savagely beats Officer Muldoon-Crais and steals his gun which he then uses to shoot all his friends (to no effect), he wakes up StrappedToAnOperatingTable with Muldoon standing over him, [[Film/WizardOfOz holding a small dog]] and reading out the ListOfTransgressions.

* EnemyMine: With Scorpius' mental clone, here named Harvey.

* {{Fanservice}}[=/=]FanDisservice: A scene where Crichton is [[http://youtu.be/nv2EWaCPRz8 being sexually propositioned]] by Zhaan as a {{Dominatrix}}, Aeryn in a NaughtyNurseOutfit, and Chiana as a [[SexySchoolwoman fetish schoolgirl]], is disrupted by the entrance of [[spoiler:Rygel in bondage gear]].
** The disservice gets ratcheted up to eleven in a scene when Crichton's ''dead mother'' starts to seduce him.

* HopeSpot: When Aeryn busts into the club and shoots the disco ball, seemingly freeing Crichton. But then she insists that it was Scorpius instead of the Scarrans that was holding John and wants to know what Scorpius wanted him for...
* HospitalHottie: Aeryn as Dr. Bettina Fairchild. Even before things get ''really'' weird, she's quite the kinky minx.

** On being told to give an OrderedApology to Rygel-Logan, Crichton snogs him instead. Then in the middle of Crichton's sex fantasy [[MomentKiller Rygel rises up between his legs]], wearing a gimp suit and brandishing a whip.
** Chiana is introduced nuzzling Aeryn's neck in the bar and exchanges a tongue-kiss with Zhaan during [[GirlOnGirlIsHot Crichton's sex fantasy]].

** There's also Officer Crais in red pumps.

* CameraAbuse: DK splatters the camera with blood after [{DrivenToSuicide slitting his wrists]].
* ComicSutra + SexyWhateverOutfit: At one point Crichton is [[ChainedToABed cuffed to a hospital gurney]] and the three main female characters ([[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments and Rygel in a gimp suit]]) appear and offer to fulfill his sexual fantasies.
-->'''Zhaan:''' (dressed as a {{Dominatrix}}) I can wear a {{Freudian slip}}.
-->'''Aeryn:''' (dressed in a NaughtyNurseOutfit) I'll find new places to take your temperature.
-->'''Chiana:''' (dressed as a SexySchoolwoman) I can teach you... the left-handed Latvian Rodeo Torture!
* TheComicallySerious: Half the episode's humor comes from everyone calling Crichton out for calling out how bizarre things are. When he points out to Kaminsky that she's ''blue'', she asks if he has a problem with people of color. When John talks about Logan being a "two-foot green slug on a golf cart", his father is aghast that John would make fun of a man's disability, and when John brings up Gary's tentacles, DK can only shrug and say, "It's a choice."

* DownerEnding: Crichton has survived to fight another day, but Harvey erases Crichton's memory of his existence.
* DreamWithinADream: Aeryn destroys the projector, except for the fact Crichton is still out of it.

* AllMenArePerverts: Crichton finds himself handcuffed to a gurney while Zhaan, Chiana and Aeryn--dressed in {{Sexy Whatever Outfit}}s---run their hands over him and offer to fulfil his fantasies.

* AteHisGun: Crichton forces the Scarran to do this, as it's his only accessible vulnerable point.

* BlackComedy: Crichton gives Rygel-Logan a TakeThatKiss and throws him off the top level of a multi-story carpark, then remonstrates his father and DK for being aghast.

** Especially to Crichton's [[Recap/FarscapeS01E16AHumanReaction first encounter with the Ancients]], although he also references [[Recap/FarscapeS01E08ThatOldBlackMagic Maldis]] and the [[Recap/FarscapeS01E12RhapsodyInBlue "Tahleen and her wacky bunch"]]. Additionally, Crichton remembers what happens [[ExplosiveOverclocking when you let a Peacekeeper gun overcharge]].
** When Harvey explains what he is, Crichton realises that's why he couldn't kill Scorpius on the Royal Planet.
* ComeOutComeOutWhereverYouAre: Crichton does this when calling on whatever hidden enemy is doing this to reveal themselves, and segues into the song from ''Film/TheWizardOfOz''.

* CampGay: D'Argo, for one disturbing scene.

* ComicSutra[=/=]SexyWhateverOutfit: At one point, John is StrappedToAnOperatingTable, whereupon the three main female characters ([[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments and Rygel in a gimp suit]]) appear and offer to fulfill his sexual fantasies.

* CowboyCop: Crais the cop.

-->'''Muldoon:''' FREEZE! You're under arrest! You have the right to the remains of a silent attorney! If you cannot afford one, TOUGH NOOGIES! You can make ONE phone call! I recommend Trixie, 976-Triple 5-LOVE. Do you understand these rights as I have explained them to you? Well, do you, PUNK?\\
'''Crichton:''' No.\\
'''Muldoon:''' THEN I CAN'T ARREST YOU!

** Even by ''Farscape'' standards, this episode has an extreme case, shifting from kinky sex jokes and slash fic parodies to Crichton being reduced to tears after being confronted with his memories of his dying mother.

* GuyOnGuyIsHot: In '''that''' scene with D'Argo. "[Chiana] wants to watch."

** Chiana is introduced nuzzling Aeryn's neck in the bar.
** CampGay D'Argo. Nuff said.
** There's also Officer Crais doing a FeetFirstIntroduction...in high heels.

* AllMenArePerverts: Crichton finds himself handcuffed to a gurney while Zhaan, Chiana and Aeryn--dressed in {{Sexy Whatever Outfit}}s---offer to fulfil his fantasies.

* AllMenArePerverts: Crichton finds himself handcuffed to a gurney while Zhaan, Chiana and Aeryn dressed in SexyWhateverOutfits offer to fulfil his fantasies.

-->'''Aeryn:''' ''(as she casually drives a [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything long sharp metal object through a dilator]])'' Nothing to be ashamed of. Not when females are willing.
