It is a truth universally acknowledged that every television show in possession of sci-fi premise, must be in want of a Rashomon episode. How about one with a little good cop/bad cop? or rather bad cop/worse cop.

Once upon a time a girl flew off into a mist and came back an old lady, her lover followed her and he too became old. A blue mage joined with a magic boy to learn the truth of a ship trapped in time.

Who's ready for a trip to Oz? Well certainly a trip of some kind. Farscape takes us deep, maybe too deep into John's mind as he tries to keep from losing it entirely.
