* GuiltFreeExterminationWar: What Scorpius claims the Peacekeeper-Scarran conflict ultimately is, constantly insisting that the Scarrans will wipe out all other intelligent life in the galaxy if the Peacekeepers don't wipe them out first, which is the primary reason he's so driven to get the wormhole technology Crichton has. For his own, Crichton refuses to let it get to that, [[spoiler: and he ultimately [[TakeAThirdOption takes a third option]], and uses that knowledge to force ''both'' factions to end their war.]]

* FearInducedIdiocy: In "[[Recap/FarscapeS02E19LiarsGunsAndMoneyANotSoSimplePlan Liars, Guns, And Money Part 1]]", Stark begins to panic once he realizes that his carefully planned [[HeistEpisode Shadow Depository heist]] is spiralling out of control - especially since it means that [[BigBad Scorpius]] is now hot on the crew's collective tails - resulting in his MissionControl beginning to deteriorate. This comes to ahead when Zhaan and Chiana find themselves trapped at a doorway with guards closing in, whereupon Stark freaks out and smashes the console he was using to help the others, forcing D'Argo to knock him out, then put the whole console together again from scratch in record time.

* TheEmpire: First Scattered references are made to multiple, with one of the Peacekeepers, then crew members actually being the Scarrans. Though technically, they were both rival [[TheEmpire empires]] from deposed ruler of one, though the start.two most prominent (and powerful) are the Peacekeepers and Scarrans. The Peacekeepers are more of a HegemonicEmpire, using their immense military power to cow and/or force other worlds into obedience, under the stated goal of "peace" (hence their name). Their arch-rivals, the Scarrans, are a much more traditional example, freely invading and conquering other worlds and races, and are ruled by an Emperor.

** The crew of ''Moya'' are a desperate gang of fugitives who spend most of their time struggling to stay alive and can only ''improvise'' fun when they can find the time to do anything other than work. In particular, series protagonist [[ScienceHero John Crichton]] spends most of his off-hours on increasingly dangerous wormhole research. By contrast, early antagonist [[EvilSorcerer Maldis]] is a seemingly all-powerful EmotionEater who prefers to watch his sadistic games play out rather than get involved, only using his powers in the event that his playthings need some encouragement. In their first encounter, his chosen playthings were already mortal enemies and only needed a bit of a prod to fight to the death, and he got so carried away with the fun that Maldis completely failed to notice that Zhaan was learning how to harness her own powers against him -- hence his first defeat.
** In season four, the crew of Moya are pitted against a new antagonist, Commandant Grayza. Her [[LivingAphrodisiac heppel oil glands]] give her the power to chemically enslave people, allowing her to accomplish her goals with as little effort as possible... but unfortunately, this power makes her complacent -- allowing Crichton to deliver a [[ChainedToABed humiliating defeat]] when he finds an antidote to the oil. She spends the rest of the season as a strictly hands-off BigBad, using Captain Braca as her PuppetKing while she takes baths or plays head games with her underlings. Even her big plan to trick the Scarran Imperium into a truce involves her taking credit for the wormhole weapon Crichton developed back in season 3 without taking any measures of her own. [[spoiler:This bites her hard in the ass when Scarran [[TheBaroness War Minister Akhna]] sees through Grayza's bluster and easily defeats her underpowered forces. When Grayza attempts to save face by ordering a SuicideAttack on Katratzi, Braca refuses her orders and has her arrested. For good measure, Scorpius -- who has been patiently working away on ''Moya'' all season -- claims Grayza's command carrier as his own.]]

** Also, when Aeryn is offering that she and John can have sex (while refusing to admit she has feelings for him) under the guise of "relieving tension," John notes "I have two hands, I can relieve all the tension I want."
